    Trump: Using race neutral criteria to achieve diversity is illegal. Agee or disagree, and why?

    Strange that you and so many conservatives just assume DEI = "less qualified". I could try to discuss it to figure out where you got confused, but you have made it clear you aren't interested in a serious discussion. Goodbye.

    Trump: Using race neutral criteria to achieve diversity is illegal. Agee or disagree, and why?

    It's not bullshit, it is historical fact which denied generations of people fair opportunities. You may be an egalitarian and fair minded employer, but unfortunately there are still plenty of assholes making these sorts of biased decisions. And the data very clearly shows that minorities are...

    Trump: Using race neutral criteria to achieve diversity is illegal. Agee or disagree, and why?

    Yes. Exactly. You're so close to getting it. A perfect meritocracy is the ideal solution. Everyone agrees on that. But such a thing is obviously impossible. It does not exist and has never existed. The "merit" information available to hiring managers and college admissions officers is simply...

    Tucker Carlson says Trump administration is using Charlie Kirk’s killing to trample First Amendment

    I don't care what ****er Carlson says about anything, and neither should you. He doesn't deserve any help in gathering clicks.

    I thought the FBI was a clown show: Kennedy’s Advisory Panel Votes to Limit M.M.R.V. Vaccine for Children Under 4

    "anti-vaxxer" is the popular name for them, but I prefer "plague rat" for its superior descriptive power. Just a friendly suggestion for your consideration

    Which is worse ...

    The thread isn't about "outrage", it's about "apathy". And yes, people have been expressing apathy about school children being slaughtered for decades. As evidenced by the fact that we haven't done a single substantive thing to prevent them. The general sentiment from the right (and Kirk...

    Right-Wing Activists Are Targeting People for Allegedly Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death

    Sure, "should". But won't be because the right has given all the power to make those decisions to grossly corrupt individuals.

    Trump says he’s targeting Memphis in crime crackdown

    The timeline for Jan6, since you are apparently ignorant: 12:00 pm: Trump starts his speech at his rally. 1:00 pm: Trump finishes his speech and returns to the White House. The mob storms outer police barricades at the capitol. 1:30 pm: Rioters overrun police barricades at the back of the...

    A young kid radicalized with hate. How did that happen?

    (y) Opinions are generally a separate category from lies. Fair enough.

    A young kid radicalized with hate. How did that happen?

    Perhaps, but there was nothing trans engraved on the bullet casings, so that rumor was definitely false. Don't remember who said it first, but "A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth finishes putting on its shoes". There are already thousands of people who have internalized...

    A young kid radicalized with hate. How did that happen?

    But nothing about trans issues. Didn't stop all of conservative media from jumping at the opportunity to demonize an entire minority. Some are still doing it even after the facts came out. Including some on this forum.

    Trump says he’s targeting Memphis in crime crackdown

    Trump spoke of "fighting" and then launched his mob at the capitol. The fact that he watched them attacking our police and representatives FOR HOURS before doing or saying anything doesn't leave a whole lot of room for "doubt" about his intentions

    Are the extremists winning?

    Yes. The extremists are winning. Have been winning for at least the last decade. First, I think post #62 by @iliveonramen was a levelheaded description of how a lot of us feel about this. I think it could have started a productive conversation, but I didn't see a serious response from you. I'd...

    Israel strikes Hamas leadership in Qatar

    Opinion noted, and rejected. Israel does not need to "do" anything to avoid a negotiated end. They are a primary party to those negotiations. They can simply say no. As such, the obvious explanation for the strike is also the only one: to kill some terrorist leaders Qatar has been openly...

    Israel strikes Hamas leadership in Qatar

    Credit for one specific action does not grant credit or forgiveness for any other actions. I feel like this should be obvious. Wow, you admitted it was an atrocity! That's real progress! Let's see if we can go one step further. I'm going to make it as easy as possible using your own comparison...
