    Standing up against the destruction of a people is a just cause and is on the right side of history so I'm not sure why it's baffling that young women would be for that. 

    The thing is that certain people don't consider Palestinians to be people.

    Except I'm not conservative....I in fact support abortion, the pill, and other contraceptives. That doesn't change the fact about what I wrote because that is the truth.

    Hamas got a much smaller percentage of the vote in the last election held in Gaza, which was nearly 18 years ago, than Trump got in either of the last two elections and way way smaller than the Texas GOP gets every election. Using their views on and treatment of women as representative of how all Palestinians view and treat women makes much less sense than using the Texas GOP as representative of how all Americans view and treat women.

    It's hilarious young American women are standing for Palestine when they would be nothing but a piece of property with no rights over there. It's quite comical.

    I love how conservative men who want to ban the pill and lock up women who get abortions say shit like this.

    However, we did a study at ILAS looking into the background of terrorist leaders. Amazing how many were doctors and engineers. My assumption is they do not see grey, just right and wrong and thus justify actions. This was before 9-11. So when in the Middle East I did the same looking into Osama's group. yep. same pattern.

    They listen to historians and philosophers, but those tend to talk and not do drastic action. Thank God @Brisketexan is an enchilada eating lawyer. Imagine if the was a Mech Engineer.

    The engineers need to preemptively get gibbets. For public safety.

    Expert is giving him too much credit.

    I dunno. I don't think I've seen the "I'm pro Israeli genocide of Gaza, but I'm also pro threatening the genocide of Jewish people as long as it's couched as genocide of Israeli people" before. That's pretty impressive.

    I don't know man.  It certainly appears that New Jersey passed bail reform - at least the Courts seem to say as much here

    Criminal Justice Reform | NJ Courts

    Surely the bond judge considered... the law, when granting bail.  Maybe you just don't like the fact that bail reform laws resulted in more people receiving bail.  Seems to me like when more people receive bail, sooner or later one of them is going to do something criminal. That doesn't make them special. Normal people commit crimes (everyday), why should people out on bail be any different? 

    Bail is a constitutional right but, if I'm the judge that lets a child-abuser out on bail and that person goes on to kill the child, I'm losing sleep.  For a long while.

    Internet says NJ doesn't have death penalty.  Would this be a capital crime/death penalty case in Texas?

    Yeah I noticed that gratuitous reference.

    At the time he received bail, he was charged only with child endangerment.  Without minimizing that, that isn't a bail denial offense, typically speaking, bail reform or not.  The murder/homicide charges came later, and even those are not necessarily a bail denial offense.

    Cops love to blame someone else for their own failures. Every time we hear about some guy murdering his whole family, and for many mass shooters, it turns out that the cops had investigated them multiple times and simply ignored substantial evidence of criminal activity and refused to arrest them. This kid's mom reported the dad for abuse over 100 times and the cops only arrested him once before the kid died? That's on them.

    Gregor was initially arrested for endangering the welfare of a child on July 7 for the treadmill incident. Authorities said he was “subsequently released as a consequence of New Jersey Bail Reform.” He was arrested for Corey’s murder on March 9, 2022.

    This is almost certainly total bullshit and it's really annoying that they just printed uncorroborated copaganda in this story.

    Because some of them go on into the normal workforce (not the marxist poet woman), and import the delusional bratty behavior with them. That's why you get people running amok disrupting conferences or the corporate "takeover" of Google offices.  If it was your kids exhibiting antisocial behavior you'd want to nip it in the bud. If it was somebody elses kids you'd want to mock those parents ceaselessly.

     

    This is exactly the false dichotomy from the left's previous pet project where things are people are racist OR anti-racist and nothing in between.  (you cant be identity agnostic and treat people as individuals, thats just a mask for race guilt and means youve failed the kafka test).  And just like the above, it slowly seeped into the real world where doctors in training are taught they're racist, and school boards pay a program called 'woke kindergarten' (actual name) to instruct economically disadvantaged elementary schools how to dismantle whiteness.

    This batshit lunatic dogma isnt self-contained to campuses.  It spreads and infects everything around it.

    So are politics cool in here or not? Make up your minds.

    My first experience with someone having to make a decision regarding a 3rd trimester abortion was on my 3rd year OB gyn rotation as a med student. A 30ish mom with a 9 yo and a toddler was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer that initial staging showed was in the local lymph nodes at least. She was 6 weeks or more from her baby being at the brink of viability (months in NICU, likely lifelong GI issues, possible cognitive deficits, etc). To have even a 50-50 chance at 5 year survival, the heme-onc team said she needed immediate chemotherapy which meant terminating the pregnancy.
     

    Keep her baby and not live to see any of her children grow up. Abort her baby and have a 50% chance of being there for the other 2 children. She chose to keep the baby. Don't know how it turned out but I have a pretty good idea. 
     

    Almost all late stage abortions are true life or death situations for the mom, or fatal birth defects for the baby. These are devastatingly difficult decisions, and most of the parents consider it no different than the loss of a child. 
     

     

     

    I'd love to know why @lucious leftfoot thought this warranted a neg.

    My one Duke buddy sent me this. Unreal that these protestors have managed to drive him against his natural state of hatred for all things UNC.

     

    https://www.gofundme.com/f/pi-kappa-phi-men-defended-their-flag-throw-em-a-rager

    Commie losers across the country have invaded college campuses to make dumb demands of weak University Administrators.

    But amidst the chaos, the screaming, the anti-semitism, the hatred of faith and flag, stood a platoon of American heroes. Armored in Vineyard Vines and Patagonia, fueled by Zyn and White Claws, these triumphant Brohemians protected Old Glory from the unwashed Marxist horde -- laughing at their shrieks and wails and shielding the Stars & Stripes from Soviet missiles.

    These boys... no, men, of the UNC Chapel Hill Pi Kappa Phi, gave the best to America and now they deserve the best.

    Help us raise funds to throw this frat the party they deserve, a party worth of the boat-shoed Broleteriat who did their country proud.

    Even one is too many.

    Is it rounding or do 3% just go “oh well I knew who I wanted between Trump and Biden but RFK makes it difficult, so now I’m undecided?”

    He’s also not going to get 11%. 

    Kennedy won't get more than 5% and he'll pull more from Trump than Biden.

    Don't make ad hominem attacks.  What happens, get an ad hominem attack.  Never change CR'ers....

    If you think people shouldn't be allowed to criticize your sources when your sources have included literal neonazi websites in the past then what you're telling us is that you think you should be able to post literal neonazi propaganda without challenge.

    Citizen journalism via Twitter was a thing that largely got promoted during the Arab Spring and Iran protests and then spread to include citizens reporting on events from nations with only state-controlled media to report and organize on state actions.  Elron’s citizen journalists focus on reporting from open societies and claim that their reporting is needed because a shadowy cabal of elites control media. They frequently promote malign state-sponsored narratives and news and cooperate with state-controlled foreign media. 
     

    The one small carve-out is that the biggest information threat is the ongoing death of good local and regional reporting. Most people need to know more about their county officials than they do about college protests.  But there are very few of these “citizen journalists” on the local government procurement beat. 

    Yeah, but local council meetings are so fucking boring.

    One of the main problems for them is that this is NOT true.  The message is fractured and scattered.  There are some pushing for divestiture. Some simply want a "Free Palestine."  There are others coopting the protests for a more inflammatory anti-Israeli stance, and then some just wandering around yelling "oink like a piggie oink oink."

    But I do agree that, for those that are actually protesting in favor of divestiture, they're doing it wrong, in the wrong place, to the wrong people, in the wrong way, and they're letting themselves get overrun and drowned out by the idiots. 

    I hope you're not just making this up because if this is happening it's very funny.
