They have to stop calling "non-white" people "coloured". That's a racist term dating back some 50 years. How do these people not see how classifying an entire group of people as being "coloured", ie. their skin is not of the "normal" colour, as not being supremely racist.

It wasn't really a racist term it was just how blacks were described in the ~50's and 60's. "Negro" was considered to be too racist so "Colored" was the PC term for the time.
It doesn't really matter anyway there will be a new adjective in 5 years that will be the new not racist term

if i get muted for using "Negro" I'll have to commit FSE genocide as retribution

say hello to the gulag

I don't know how someone so educated could be so dumb. Graduated from Harvard Law...says that sesame street is left-wing propaganda. What the actual fuck?

Well if you've seen the students who attend yale lately, institution reputation is meaningless now. MIT and Berkeley are still respected for Engineering and CS disciplines at least.

Anyways I do hope Trump understands the threat of the bear Vladimir Putin, it's pretty rare to have 4 intelligence heads this confident about Russian hacking

They have no proof. Let's not even talk about the fact that those same organizations were wrong about the WMDs in Iraq, how can you trust the people who were behind COINTELPRO and Prism. There's also huge misinformation, the media is making people believe that the hacking was on the election, but the hacking was on the DNC. Who gives a fuck who did the hacking, why aren't people focusing on the content of the data?

Only 5 years ago people applauded hackers and whistleblowers for revealing corruption in their governments, somehow everyone is turning against them.

Damn, some of Trump's old tweets are even more bizarre than I'd thought. This one's my personal favourite:

The actual military decisions are made by high command. The decisions the secretary makes are purely political. To make proper political decisions and naviate the political landscape, it helps being a career politician. Generals (or former Generals), simply do not have the same experience it takes as civilian polticians do... Surely, A General's seat is a political one, but military politics is far different than national politics.

Ah yes, a general would be clueless on who to (not) declare war on and how to allocate resources in war. Better give it to a pen pusher who doesn't even know what a gun is.

The minister of defence in canada is also a military man who's been on several tour of dutys and it's not a police state here. Also I want politicians to become soldiers so that they can understand war and think things through when they declare them. They want the war, they fight it.

Good news guys. California is legalizing child prostitution

It's to make children who are exploited not criminals. Adult prostitution shouldn't be illegal as well.

While I would say that it's probably true most youth vote with their feels, I wouldn't say having such a young elector should be disallowed.

Is there evidence that older electors don't vote with their feels? You guys talk like young people are susceptible to anything but as far as I know those old congressman will do anything if you dangle a couple dollars in front of them.

A 19 year old from Washington state. Isn't a teenager a bit too young to fully understand the responsibility of a state elector for a national election? I wonder how that went for her to be a faithless elector.

They're old enough to vote indirectly, they should be old enough to vote directly.

Arbitrary age restrictions past a a certain point are just ways for old men to keep their comfy jobs and not be subject to the hell that is living on a pension.

Do people here actually listen to Alex jones?

I'd assume for getting a laugh out of his conspiracy theories.
