I'll take "shit that never happened for $400, Alex." First of all...come on, parentS? Mom, or maybe Grandma, does not give a shit about where a man in a dress has to pee.North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried said he was “appalled” by the bill and is embarrassed when he goes on recruiting visits and parents ask about it.
To be fair, while it's not all made up, it definitely is over hyped.Vince wrote:It's okay. Trump had the gay Paypal guy come out at his convention and tell us all the gay culture war stuff is made up, so we have nothing to worry about.
You mean there's never a follow up on crimes such as robbery where fraud might have occurred instead of an actual robbery? You're right, but it would still technically be a crime.GORDON wrote:And, one does not ever hear about how their house was fake-robbed.
I'd have to organize a seance.Ask Richard Jewel.
Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what Peter Thiel was saying.Leisher wrote:To be fair, while it's not all made up, it definitely is over hyped.Vince wrote:It's okay.

It's a lot like crime. Most people think crime is out of control because the MSM reports negative news as that gets ratings, however crime is much lower than it has been in the past.
Not saying either isn't a problem, but there's less crime than most people think and less bigotry towards LGBT than one would assume based on MSM reports.
Then again, there are totally some things that both he and Trump believe in.On September 22, 2010, Thiel said at a 2010 fundraiser for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, “I believe that gay rights and marriage rights for gay people should not be a partisan issue,” and “Gay marriage can’t be a partisan issue because as long as there are partisan issues or cultural issues in this country, you’ll have trench warfare like on the western front in World War I. You’ll have lots of carnage and no progress.”
He also calls himself a conservative libertarian (he appears to be neither) and thought Carly Fiorina deserved financial support,Peter Thiel wrote, on April 13, 2009, in the Libertarian 'Cato Unbound' blog, “Most importantly, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” In the same article, he also wrote, "Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron."

He was the first example I thought of because I overheard people talking about him this weekend at a dinner. I thought, "Why are they talking about Richard Jewel, and figured it was the train wreck in Rio."I'd have to organize a seance.
No, I meant you DO often hear stories about how people were fake-gay/colored/whatever persecuted.Leisher wrote:You mean there's never a follow up on crimes such as robbery where fraud might have occurred instead of an actual robbery?

Although, your bigger point is ridiculously true. The MSM never goes back to publicize when stuff was wrong. Ask Richard Jewel.

What Mr. Thiel did not tell the faithful gathered in Cleveland is that he is involved in targeting a Republican governor in North Carolina who is up for reelection this fall. What he did not reveal at the RNC and to the delegates from North Carolina is that his company, PayPal, is boycotting their state. Why? It's all about the bathroom debate. You know, the one Mr. Thiel doesn't care about.
As opposed to when conservatives write bullshit abortion laws to force compliance with their world view.there is a fine mix of the mundane, along with some pointed shows of just how despicable Democrats can be when they’re trying to twist the arm of the public, in order to force compliance to their worldview.
That's one way to package their opposition to abortion, I suppose.Malcolm wrote: As opposed to when conservatives write bullshit abortion laws to force compliance with their world view.
If they applied the same scrutiny to gun ownership that they did to abortion, you wouldn't be able to fire a round without a state-approved marksman and gunsmith standing next to you while you do it. One of them will also need hospital admitting privs, just in case you shoot your toe off.GORDON wrote:That's one way to package their opposition to abortion, I suppose.Malcolm wrote: As opposed to when conservatives write bullshit abortion laws to force compliance with their world view.
