Privilege

I was stopped by a cop today for doing something stupid on my motorcycle. I’m pretty sure he didn’t give me a ticket because I’m a clean-cut white guy. I know it is wrong, but I was really glad to be white at that moment.

Altruism

All of the worlds’ great traditions of religion and spirituality emphasize helping others. Why is it that I cannot seem to find it in my heart to do so?

Anonymous Blogging Supports Internet Etiquette

One of the most common things we do on social networking sites and apps is to start writing a post or comment, realize we’re venting and maybe being a bit too direct or rude, delete what we’ve written, and then replace it with something less likely to start an argument or hurt someone’s feelings.

Jealousy is for weak people

I’m so fed up with jealous guys. I’m sure jealous girls are just as annoying, but being a woman I have to deal with guys all the time that just can’t deal with me being a friendly person.

If I’m dating you it doesn’t mean we’re married. If I get coffee with you it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop being friendly and courteous ... MORE

Conspiracy Fact: James Earl Ray Didn’t Kill Martin Luther King Jr.

The only thing worse than desperate conspiracy hobbyists are desperate mainstream apologists, or the kind of people that use the term ‘tin foil hat’ every time someone mentions anything not in their junior high school history book. Both are frightfully ignorant.

On our left we have an image of MLKIII shaking James Earl Ray’s hand. Why? Because the King ... MORE

Disgusted!

1. A Christian zealot was on my train this morning going on and on about how we need to repent or we’re all gonna burn in fiery hell. People mostly ignored him and some were laughing.
