Any man who claims not to be able to control his urges is DANGEROUS and needs to be CONTROLLED. There, fixed it.

In America a man like that can become President.

so as "deluded" part of male population side with woman's. And you think that if the other sex would rule, things would be better :D Yea. riiiiight. things would be equally fu*ked up. just inverted. its not the solution. Don't get me wrong. I am writing deluded in quotation marks because I don't think like that. It looks like you are trying to create some gender wars in here or trying to prove superiority. It's just not true that one of sexes is superior.

It's only rated that good for people who can afford it.

Yeah, the Cleveland Clinic is lauded for being so advanced. But try going to one of their emergency rooms or finding a Dr. They are good at face transplants, not so much general healthcare.

Unnecessary surgeries!

Voting works----but you have get off your a**e and do it. If enough people get off their arses, things change.

Voting do change things. The problem is that you think that voting is your only role as a citizen and that between elections you can just sit and wait. Voting should be just citizens validating what they have worked for and pressed their representatives to do. Or you really think you're helpless hostages of your politicians? YOU put them there in the first place!!

really? the exact same thing happens regardless of who gets elected? sounds like you've been drinking someone's koolaid.

It does though. That's why the GoP is trying to beef up voting restriction laws and keep POCs like Natives and blacks from voting. It's just another way they have to cheat in order to win.

ameeennnn bro

I think you should review the last two elections.

That is a very interesting response. Made me think differently.

Republicans have realized that they could not get elected if the voting was fair so they have to gerrymander and now appoint corrupt election officials that will claim an election is stolen if Republicans lose.

That is the definition of "practice". How does anyone learn how to do anything without doing it over and over again?

If this was true, no one would play the lottery.

and so overwhelming historical.

In practice, to counter a bigotry effectively, you really do have to understand it. People don't get reasoned out of a position that they didn't get reasoned into.

It stems from ignorance of people who aren’t just like yourself. We fear what we don’t understand, and lash out irrationally at that unknown and unfamiliar person because of that fear. It is amazing how people who said they hated a particular group completely changed their minds when they actually met people from that particular group and discovered we’re all more alike than different.

Well said@well -dressed wolf 🐺!!!

It's easy to "understand" racism though - you're a different colour to me. It's an immediate and obvious difference. But to just *look* at someone and decide you hate them because of their beliefs is a different kind of illogical. Especially when it's not necessarily tied to the religion, but to stereotypes which may or may not have any basis in reality. Jews are money obsessed is one that boggles my mind - they're good with money and therefore being rich is surely the capitalist dream and but it's only bad when they do it because...?

Can someone please explain why antisemitism is considered racism, not xenophobia or something related to a belief system? Honest question.

And the potential for it is ubiquitous amongst humans. Give me the child at 7, and I will give you the man.

Antisemitism isn't actually racism as Judaism isn't a race but a religion, like Muslims, Scientologists, Mormons, Lutherans, Baptists, Buddhists, Taoists.... There is no genetic marker that defines a person's personal beliefs. What causes the détestation of a religious sect is their behavior towards non-adhérents.

Jews aren't a race but a religious sect, and history shows that Jews have been hated for several millenia, probably for good reasons. Kind of how Scientologists are rejected, avoided, etc., but prevalent in Hollywood and the financial institutions in the USA. . We can compare the ethocentric values of both Jews and Scientologists of how they both command Hollywood and the banking system, to the point of exclusion of non-members of these religious sects.

Uh, no. It's not tribal, it's the haves and have-nots. So, I was in a State funded language class for foreigners, and several of my classmates sat next to me and kept saying how they hate my country of origin, over and over and over, and I don't know why. I've already received violence from other foreigners against me because they hate my country of origin, but here's the kicker-- in class, these people who don't like that I'm my nationality, turn to me to help them understand basic math and how to use computer programs like Word and Excel. They hate me for being my nationality, they don't bother to learn about me as an individual, then use me because I've got skills they don't have, as if I should apologize for being educated in basic education like math or computer programs and help them even when they are ignorant and frankly, unteachable. They want the answers, not the knowledge.

I once heard a friend say "There are many paths to God." I like that.

Yep. I’m 40 and I still can’t fold a fitted sheet. My family owns a housecleaning service. My mother was born in the 1940s and was a typical American housewife. I didn’t learn shít. I am a disappointment XD

Pretty sure the only reason my husband wanted to marry me was because I showed him how to fold a fitted sheet- make it into a ball and put it in the closet.

To quote the Mandalorian, "this is the way".

That is the official instructions for putting away fitted sheets

Oh wow that is good, thank you. Makes it so only one corner is weird and then you're almost done. Pretty sure that's the first laundry-related video I have saved to my 'favorites' list
