    Long and pointlessly rambling SJW piece that's hard to take seriously, let alone criticize for complete lack of hard data or structure. She raises interesting questions: 1) Is risk…

    I started reading it but got bored with what seemed like a pointless rambling and gave up after a few pages. Happy if someone provides TLDR.

    Seems like a reasonable thing to do. Not sure what is deplorable about wanting only bright people to immigrate to your country.

    I guess that's the point of her article - that a man waking up and deciding to be a woman has as much legitimacy as a white guy deciding that he's black. Ie if you accept one, you …

    Why this reflex to mention gays no matter what context? Fyi they earn more than straight people: http://money.cnn.com/2012/12/06/pf/gay-money/

    I have no opinion on the content, but as a bilingual English - Russian speaker i concur that this is likely a text written by an English speaker who tries to sound like a foreigner…

    So do you call every one of the 60 odd million people who voted for Trump a monster?

    I think its 100% personal. Ie just how righteousness you feel about one side - others feel same on the other (plus they feel that the msm megaphone is used against them).

    Actually it make sense. Looking at the figures in this report https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm... - see for example chart 3.09 and 3.11, whites tend to …

    The author obliquely mentions that blacks are 5 times more likely to be imprisoned in the UK. I decided to look into why this might be happening and turns out that Population Popul…

    "Evolution, it should be remembered, predates gender by a long time." 1. Good point - gender is 50 years old (first used in 1963). 2. What about other, non-human organisms? If we l…

    People on the first list don't get to choose who they are. People on the second list make a conscious decision to use birth control. Thus the two are different. Same way hating men…

    Reading the comments below, I am guessing that most people simply don't understand the terminology you are using. Ie you have to define what are: 1. Public service 2. Lock in a pri…

    Right - but I don't think anybody took that seriously. Even the tea partiers saying it most likely only meant it as a 'Obama is a very bad guy and the worst name we can call him is…

    How does this in any way negate the comment you are responding to? His point is that people go to Gab because they are thrown out of other venues. You're just going on about how th…

    You realize that the word 'racist' has lost all meaning by now? It simply means 'people I disagree with'. I think it's lost meaning starting with 2011 (thanks, Obama). See: http://…
