e.g. I have black friends, so when I see a black guy getting killed by a police officer who doesn't honor the promise they made to their community, that scares me.

So here was a police involved shooting in Falcon Heights, Minnesota (very, very close to where I'm from) where this black guy was shot by a cop for no discernible reason.

Obviously generalizing police officers isn't the answer to this. This cop was not serving or protecting. He was overreacting and escalating the situation needlessly.

So what's the solution here and how can it be implemented within a reasonable time frame?

I think that this is an interesting question because, according to Christianity, people have ADHD because they were designed that way by God. So wouldn't it be counterproductive for a person with ADHD to defy that design by forcing themselves to sit still for an hour every week?

Is acceptance rigid and in the form of dogma or is it the way you live your life?

I get not wanting men to be invasive but when a person is attracted to another person, they have a tendency to look at them. It's involuntary.

Obviouely, there's nothing offensive about bro hugs. But IMO I think it's sad that some guys feel like they can't seek comfort and affection from other men via actual hugs (which work a lot better than). It doesn't matter if some people perceive men hugging to be "gay" because that's a reflection of bigotry on theory part.

Bottom line, men should hug each other if they need to, even if they're not related.

But what do you think? Am I a crazy radfem or do I have a point?

Are they organizing charity drives for widowers? Are they building shelters for male rape victims? Are they raising awareness of the fact that men are excellent parents? Or are all of these just talking points at are used against feminism?

My awesome grandma died recently and there are a lot of things I don't understand about the Catholic funeral process.

From what I've heard, it's likely that during social interactions my distant family members will ask questions such as "do you have a girlfriend". What should I say if I'm asked that? I don't want to be dishonest because my grandmother didn't have a problem with my sexuality and I feel like hiding that about myself would be disrespectful towards her.

My grandma died recently (RIP). I am extremely attention deficit and impulsive and my family is Catholic, which means a long, boring funeral is going to happen. I don't want to be disrespectful but I also am known to display a lack of tact when I am agitated or bored, which I will be during the funeral. How do I get through it without going nuts or offending someone?

I think it's crazy that people choose to live in swampy parts of the Deep South that are obviously not suitable for human habitation. The alligator situation with the 2 year old is an example of why people should not be living in swampy areas of the southeast.

Think about it. Feminists like to talk about interactions between men and women but those interactions only involve straight people. Their rhetoric seems to completely ignore gays.

My hair is damaged from going 10 months without a haircut and so I'm going to have to get some of it cut off. I'd say my hair is currently around 6 inches long (when wet) and it will probably be around 4.5 inches long when I get it cut. I want to make it look as if I didn't get that much cut off.

My school is great in terms of academics but the housing situation is not acceptable IMO. Of course the school isn't going to show parents the bad dorm building that houses half of our students because those parents would probably not send their kids to that university. It's a small school that needs more enrollment but I'm not entirely sure that it deserves more students with the conditions they will have to live in.

My review will briefly mention how the school is great but most of it will talk about the awful student housing.

Read exodus and explain to me how torturing the Egyptians and killing huge amounts of them is loving.

It worked because they put emotion into politics. So if you object to politics and emotions being combined, you should object to that movement.

You can't selectively apply your rules. Either they apply to everybody or nobody.

I'm more or less an agnostic but I'm playing devil's advocate.

If there is a God, I don't see a reason for him to reveal himself to us. If you know that there is a supreme being looking out for you, are you really going to learn anything during your existence on Earth? How do you build character when nothing you face ultimately means anything?

When the road is icy, slow down and be careful. That's common sense.
