  • Doesn’t matter. If you take those numbers, let’s say 4 out of 10 men are against abortion, so you put them in a pile.

    Then you take 3 out of 10 women against abortion and you put them in the same pile.

    So now you have a pile with 4 men and 3 women who are against abortion. Which would mean 4/7 people who are against abortion are men. Which is 57%. Not 79% at all.

    Either way. What’s the source. Should always source your statistics.



  • Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. That’s a common misconception.

    The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began in 591, when Pope Gregory I identified Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’s feet in Luke 7:36–50.

    But Jesus was most certainly very accepting of people from all walks of life. That was like his whole purpose. So the other comment about him rejecting people from the community is dead wrong. If anything, people reproached him because he was too accepting of the “sinners”.



  • No, it’s not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

    Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

    And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

    Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

    And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

    So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn’t know much about Marvel or comics.

    I mean I don’t know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.





  • He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

    Wtf??

    Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

    Wtf… why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!



  • But she didn’t say, “I hope she beats the fuck out of him”. You’re changing the words to make your point. If she had said that, it would also sound pretty vile.

    Imagine she actually said the same thing in your hypothetical situation, “I hope he killed her.”

    That would sound much more nefarious because men actually do kill women to a disproportionate degree. So when she says I hope she kills him, everyone pretty much assumes it’s hyperbole.

    Your point is still taken, and it’d be better if neither sex promoted violence in any way.
