If two guys are ready to fight and you step in between them, one or both them are going to pop you first. We're polarized to the point it's black and white, you gotta choose a color, and if you... |

| TBH, it's all just a distraction. I'm not advocating for the language used, or the confrontation itself, but in all honesty this is something to be mulled over in an ethics meeting with House leadership, and not paraded around as something truly newsworthy. It's click-bait to trigger and counter-tri... |

| The very problem is: we don't have the Oracle of Truth to tell us who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. We don't have the Oracle of Truth to tell us who is right and who is wrong. Thus, all the justice system. Thus, all the peer-reviewing standards. Thus, all the democratic processes. Neither... |

| Can one hate Nazis and still like Hitler? This seems a somewhat unneccesary (and offensive) attempt to suggest a link between people you presumably do not agree with and a rather unlikeable German government from the 1930's/1940's. Well, before Portland, the last time a western democracy saw a mino... |

| it is so far, the pinocheting of amuuurica, what with the extrajudicial abductions of innocents. Exactly, what he's doing is illegal. You'll find his supporters arguing the "Insurrection Act of 1807", but that's not actually being used, at least not in a lawful way. There are two threshol... |

| What you need to tell yourself is: "I've overcome worse, that doesn't scare me". Why? Because it's true. I'm not one for super positivity, and I already know you're not either, but that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge deficits you've overcome, and feel pride that you beat them. You ass... |

Try to think that because you like the subject, you'll try your best anyway because yo... |

It's a pity party where there should be a celebration of opportunity. Answer me this: what do you really have to lose by taking a class? Ar... |
