I had a girlfriend whose kids (12 and 9 at the time) would ask me questions about sex. I answered frankly and freely. The 12-year-old was fascinated. The 9-year-old quickly grew bored. To him it was complicated, academic, and uninteresting. I imagine that changed a few years later.

Nonsense. Freedom is easy and wonderful. My freedom, that is. YOUR freedom, not so much. Remember the old saying: Your freedom ends where my feelings begin. (That appears to be the actual saying. It apparently was altered just a bit for PR purposes.)

Yep, nice to see the assholishness exists on both sides. Might almost make a body believe that it's more a characteristic of power than of politics, but nah! We all know OUR side is far too wonderful to do such terrible things!

It's entirely possible for both to be problems. Let us assume your apparent conviction that racism no longer exists is correct. When exactly did it die? 1865? 1955? 1964? 2008?

Subtle forms of racism (though I question how "subtle" they are) are those whose motivation is racist, though they are couched in race-neutral terms.

The Left does seem determined to repeat the mistakes of the Right. Bookburners and suchlike. You'd think they'd draw the parallel between how the censorship and bookburning and jailing didn't stop them and. . . but alas! no.

Hmm. . . was it OK for fans to boo Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice after video was released of him coldcocking his girlfriend in a Vegas hotel elevator?

Maybe y'all could re-name it "Thetthar Street." Y'know, as in "take thet thar street four blocks or so, then turn left on t'other street. You know, the corner where there used to be a Big Boy." I always wanted to live on the corner of Thetthar and T'Other.

It's truly odd some of the things that get tagged as "racism" by people who don't know, or don't care about, what the word means. I use the terms prejudice and discrimination. Both mean judging someone by some group they (may) belong to, and attributing one's own fantasies about that group to...

Well, as the copyright holder on the term. . .

Sigh. What's hard about this? Ovechkin, as a Russian citizen, has every right to take advantage of the full suite of Canadian rights and freedoms. You, as a Canadian citizen, have no such right. Pay attention. This will be on the exam.

It's a shame that the best political speech ever given was by President Andrew Shepard in The American President. Oh, well, Henry V never gave the St. Crispin's Day speech. I'd settle for having the power to rid the internet of "Fuckingidiotspeak."

Well, except for that whole "invade Ukraine" thing. . . But seriously, you probably don't wanna do that anyhow. Ain't going real well for Vlad.

To be fair, lefty academics probably need the subsidy. Ain't like they got anything useful to sell.

You mean. . . you disapprove of True Dope? Damn, I never woulda guessed. . .

Yep. We've seen actual examples of cops screaming "Stop resisting!" at a corpse. A newer line is "He grabbed my gun!" automatic permission to shoot.

Puck him.

Maybe y'all should be more wary of Pete Poo-lover, then. "Everything is broken and only I can fix it" is pretty close to a declaration of emergency. Or maybe it's just election-season puffery. Be interesting to watch.

I agree that we shouldn't mix politics with sports. Which is why Ovi shouldn't be playing hockey.

I do feel kinda sorry for the cops in the Nichols case. They just did what a thousand cops before 'em did, "taught him a lesson."
