Conservatives are pissed off that, in the comic series, Batman has outsourced in for the Paris operation picked a young Muslim kid.
That’s right. One of the oppressed groups in France are Muslims. So instead of enjoying a story where they are empowered to not break the law, our right wing idiots can’t stand the idea of a Muslim trying to bring criminals to justice.
Because, you know, to them everyone brown is a criminal.
Jenny McCarthy is not just an idiot. She’s a liar.
At the least, she has been lied to as much as the rest of us.
You know that study that supposedly links vaccines to autism? It’s a lie. The data is fraudulent. Made up. Conjured out of thin air. Results were altered to match the doctor’s claims.
The doctor is a pariah and his theory is bullshit.
And it probably won’t matter. People still will avoid vaccinating their kids. Measles is on the comeback in the UK and kids are dying. And the same will probably happen here. But for every kid we can protect, let’s hope this news helps change some minds.
Man this pisses me off every time I hear about it.
Some jackass decided that having racial slurs in Huckleberry Finn is what is stopping people from reading it. So he’s taking the offensive words out.
This is completely missing the point. For all the silliness that might make political correctness a joke, not once have I seen an effort to whitewash the past so it won’t offend us in the here and now.
Of course, the pro-censorship conservative types are all for this. Even as they host Secession Balls and hate that the president is black, they – gasp! – don’t want anyone to be offended by the n-word in a book.
Maybe we should cut out all the genocide and rape in the Bible and see how they like it. I guess we can keep the torture of Jesus in there though. If there is anything conservatives would like, it would be torturing a Jewish guy who looks like a hippie.
The BBC had a lively discussion on the subject as well.
Been catching up on Robert Reich lately and here are a few nuggets to feed your mind.
