Whenever there is a coup, the party performing it will deny it is a coup.

But technically it's always a coup, independently of the intentions of the ones performing it.

So the question is: Is this a coup for better or for worse?

@raphjd:

If he wants to express his religious views to students, under UK law, he could do that at a religious school.

Oh didn't know that! In that regard UK schools are the same as Mexican ones.

Still, considering what's going on, it is a snowball of accusations: one part goes: 'He offended me because I'm xx', then the accused part goes: 'They're after me because I'm a yy' and it goes on and on.

Original Beiber was such a girly boy.  It was kinda creepy watching gay guys drool over him/her.

I haven't really paid attention to him, but he definitely fuckable, at least for a while, though.

This is so sadddd. Especially will and grace is back.  I miss her.

That is crazy to me. I'm sorry about your experience.

I mean …. hate the game not the player.

That is soooooo crazy !!!!!!

@Mcjl:

Has anyone seen that the spacey drama may involve charges being filed is this for real ?

All the allegations I've seen are ancient history. Unless he's done something where there's proof, I can't imagine it happening. However, they do seem to be ready to prosecute Weinstein.

@JohnAllenson:

I went to my big gay choir rehearsal.  I had hot apple cider.  the choir had a costume contest.  While there was a street party outside I just headed home.

Such a festive time!  Was the children's choir rehearsing as well?

People are just ignorant.

So cowardly and disgusting.  Awful for America and those killed . Very sad.

I have no idea? ?? Did he die?

Amen.

Ben Affleck is borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring and the worst batman.

Thank goodness I wasn't there.  To see his bite sized brownie

I hate social workers.  They don't give a shit about the people they are supposed to help.  They only care about their power over people.

I have mixed feelings about this.

While I support free speech, as defined by the US Supreme Court, I want equality in that concept, which is something that Europe doesn't have.  If I can't slag you off, then equality says you can't slag me off.

You can freely deny the Armenian genocide committed by The Young Turks (recognize the name?)  but disagree with the official narrative of the WW2 holocaust and your ass is going to prison in most of Europe.    You don't have to deny that the WW2 holocaust happened, just disagree with the official "facts".

In Scandinavia, you will go to prison for being critical of islam and muslims.    Slag off christians and nothing happens.  Hypocrisy, is the word of the day.

In Europe, causing offense is a crime.

Cyber raping, of course.

@flozen:

I don't think it's racist to point out that many crime syndicates are formed along ethnic, racial and/or religious lines.  From that perspective, do Asians/Muslims represent a higher proportion of all known child-sex trafficking gangs?  I'd like to see some research data (in this case, for England) to figure that out.  Anyone?

@cteavin:

(excerpted)…

Are there studies? I wonder. There's a lot of resistance in analyzing people by race and religion. To me, it's common sense and a good reason to limit immigration from these countries.

A study of the arrested should be public record and a good foundation for developing statistics – I would hate to think that such fact-finding would be scuttled by some PC nonsense.  Knowing more about the perpetrators -- whether they are Norwegians, Bolivians, Muslim or Wiccan -- could be a valuable tool in shutting it down.

As far as limiting immigration, it reminds me of Trump's travel ban, which, no matter how it's organized, strikes me as very porous, and who's to say it's not inciting fanatics that live in the countries "next door?".  Hmm.

Fuq. I say they need to fight for abortion however they can. Its weird that they're using the devil to give women rights but if thats what it takes.
