American Christian: They took the Christmas decorations off of the Starbucks cups. Can you believe it?

Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and Various PoC: What a strange phenomenon, to not have your culture represented. So very strange. Weird. How odd.

Religious scholar Reza Aslan answers CNN’s question, “Does Islam promote violence?”

[lookdifferentmtv-deactivated201]

In the wake of incomprehensible violence and terror, let’s make this distinction between religion and extremism. Rampant and unchecked islamophobia will never be the answer.

I take back every compliment I had given American Airlines during my last trip.

Today a 16 year old boy was brought into the clinic by his aunt to ‘have the talk’ because his school didn’t teach sex ED and his mother wouldn’t talk to him about sex.

She spent 40 bucks so he could get tested for the first time.

I spent an hour talking to this young boy about sex. I got to have the sex talk with him. I showed him how to properly use a condom and protect himself and his partners. We talked about STDs and pregnancy prevention. We even talked about pubic grooming and ways to avoid razor burn. This poor boy has never had someone talk to him about anything related to the changes his body is going through.

And then we spent 20 minutes talking about consent and how important it is.

Growing up I never, ever had someone talk to me about consent and its importance. I even had sex ED in school!

This shit is important ya’ll.

Planned Parenthood is important

[gungan-gundam]

It is the parents’ duty to have “the talk” with their kids, not a government funded organization that murders babies.

[thresholdofzero-deactivated2018]

First of all fucktruck: I am not a government employee. My wages are not paid by the government.

Second: zero babies have ever been murdered in a planned parenthood.

I didn’t say a god damn word about abortion but you had to get your fucking tighty whiteys in a bunch because an organization that you know nothing about is doing good things for millions of people and you hate it.

Shut your face up about shit you don’t understand you fucking dump truck.

[gungan-gundam]

Abortion is murder, just because they’re in the womb doesn’t change the fact you’re killing an innocent human being.

As I said, it’s not a faceless organization’s job to provide sex ed while simultaneously killing unborn children.

[thresholdofzero-deactivated2018]

Listen up kiddo:

Abortion isn’t murder. Murder is illegal. Abortion is not illegal. IE abortion is not murder.

As i said (and we’ll go with what i said as not total bullshit because it’s obvious you have absolutely no real knowledge when it comes to sex or reproduction and i think we can thank your parents for that) this young man had a single mother that didn’t feel comfortable talking to him about sex. So i did it. I provided medically accurate and up to date information unlike so many parents today.

And by the way, planned parenthood isn’t some shadowy faceless organization.

For example, this is my face. The face i made while reading your stupid ass response.

[pro-abortion-rights]

That’s the face of Planned-Parenthood-not-taking-your-shit, people.

Also, to your right, an anti being against accurate sex ed for teenagers. I thought they supported sex ed and contraception? 😄

Every time someone refers to what “the founding fathers” thought about anything, as if they were a massive hivemind of powdered wigs and backwardness, a historian falls down dead

[pol102]

Like the early church fathers, the Founding Fathers (peace be upon them) never argued or had fundamental disagreements. /sarcasm

Women’s soccer players make WAY more money for the US soccer federation but earn 44% less– and now they’re suing for equality

In simple terms: The men earned four times as much to lose a tournament as the women earned to win the whole thing. Read the US women’s statement after the jump. And that’s not all: women’s physical playing conditions are different in one important way from the men’s.

Pictures of the UNESCO World Heritage site of ancient Palmyra taken following the recapture of the city by Syrian troops backed by Russian forces on March 27, 2016 show the damage made by ISIS during its 10-month occupation. In 2015 the archaeologist, Khaled al-Asaad, who had looked after the ruins for 40 years and refused to reveal the location of archaeological treasures of the city was also murdered by ISIS.

Reporter: What is 2+2?

Donald Trump answers the question: "I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, 'What's 2+2'? And I tell them look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my God, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. It's terrible. It's just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way, I love the number 2. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy but he's like, '10101000101,' on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers, and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. So, we're gonna be the best on 2+2, believe me."
