The reason people don't say thanks or rate torrents is because the button are in inconvenient locations.  If they were in a different spot you would see a lot more people use them.

I would never ask a guy if he is married.  Not my business.

I like apps but I tend be suspicious of people I have never seen around before.  They definitely get more scrutiny than someone I recognize.

I saw this guy on recently.  I had no idea who he was.  The thing that I found strange was how poor he is at speaking.  He said "ummm" over and over again which makes you sound stupid on TV.

Gay people tend to get married at an older age than straight people.  Just curious, what age did you get married?

(1) The people causing trouble were masked and for all we know they're Milo's or the alt-right's henchmen doing the violence themselves to attempt to discredit peaceful protests from people with legit grievances

(2) Even if the people who caused trouble were leftist protestors, indicting an entire group of people for the bad actions of a few is not intelligent and leads to over-generalizations and stereotyping.  You position yourself as a victim of left bashing, but you're contributing to the environment of extreme partisanship ruining our country with group-think rhetoric, confirmation bias, and one-dimensional villainizing behavior.  Bad stuff is done by people on the right and the left.  We shouldn't lower ourselves down to the level of the unintelligent members of society (on both sides) but hold ourselves to a higher standard of discourse and conflict resolution.

(3) Also, free speech =/= being granted the privilege of being able to speak using a large legitimate platform to legitimize hate speech.  Neo-Nazi's have the right to free speech in this country, but this doesn't mean we should be encouraging them to speak at campuses, being given TV spots, etc. either.  Milo has the right to speak his mind about whatever he wants to talk about, but UC Berkeley owes him no special backing to troll at an obvious left-leaning campus just like I am not owed any special right to go to any campus I want and talk about my personal beliefs on my politics or random subjects like video games.  UC Berkley is a prestigious campus and they talk about serious subjects.  They don't owe every joe with an opinion a platform to speak at their campus.  He's lucky they allowed him to come at all in the first place.  And just as he has the right to free speech, the protestors have the right for theirs, and due to his track record, they assumed he was going to spout alt-right propaganda like usual.  Please let's not act like he didn't know exactly what he was doing and then trying to use that for his own political gain.

1)  WOW, just WOW.  I see you watched that Professor in CNN make his claims that he "heard" it was people hired by Milo.

2. LOL, modern liberals are all about the hive mind and identity politics.  The DNC is all about race baiting and hating white people.  "My job is to shut other white people down" is how a white candidate running for the Chairmanship of the DNC and all the others candidates loved it.  You can find the video on YouTube.

3)  You are guilty of what you complained about in #2.  You clearly have no idea how it works for speaking at universities.  He was "invited" by one of the student groups and that group rented the space for the event.

Yeah, Berkely is a great place, as long as you aren't white.  The university allowed non whites to do the "white people go around" thing, but everyone knows it would have been stopped immediately if the races were reversed.

Can I ask a slightly unrelated question?  Are you American?

I think if California did want to leave some other blue states would have to go with them.  Lots of people in New England, Oregon and Washington state would simply move to California before this happens.  It would destroy those states.  Their only choice would be to become part of California.

I wouldn't change my last name.  My partner can do whatever he wants.

There are lots of different types of relationships.  Are you still with him?

Human beings were never monogamous.  It's only been a thing for the past few hundred years or so.  Very few species in nature are monogamous.

I usually sleep in just underwear or gym shorts.  I rarely ever wear a shirt at home and certainly not to bed.

I don't think you should try to change a persons mind.  There are plenty of people willing to bareback.  Go have sex with one of them.

@rimmingasian:

I voted for Donald trump because people like you would elect a socialist to steal my money. Shameful.

That's kind of ironic since Trump rolled back the "fiduciary rule" and now Wall St has permission to steal your money.  I never understand people who want to give CEO's more power than politicians.  You can vote out a politician.  You are powerless against a CEO.

Trump is a failed business man who made a career out of stealing peoples money.  He just settled a fraud case with Trump University.  Trump has been quoted as saying that people who settles lawsuits are "incompetent".  He has also gone to court MANY times because he didn't pay his contractors who built his buildings.  He has been a failure at everything he has done in life…...except reality TV star.  He was good at that.

I know you don't like to hear his won words because he says awful things but he does indeed say them.  Anyway, I'm off to a benefit for the victims of Bowling Green.

I hate Nutella.

Give me a Fluffernutter any day.

I don't think any other country would want them.  It's too risky.

They claim to be the 6th largest economy in the world.  Some people dispute that number but they still have a huge economy.  It's bigger than most countries.

I don't think he got them all but he likely got most of the fraudulent votes.  He did win after all and he did tell us it was rigged.

I think you mean; rigged like the DNC primary so Hillary would win.

I think you mean; rigged like in the mass media ignoring stories that made Hillary and liberals look bad.

I don't understand this whole idea that Hillary didn't get any coverage.  She was in the news non-stop for Benghazi, emails, body double, her health issues, etc.  It never stopped. You are being brainwashed into believing this.

Conway proved the brainwashing this week when  she talked about Bowling Green.  Let's say for the sake of argument that she misspoke and she meant to say "Bowling Green Terrorists".

If you listen to her entire statement she is complaining that the media didn't give this any coverage.  Well the Bowling Green terrorists were caught and therefore this is an accomplishment for the Obama administration.  Why would she complain that positive stories about Obama didn't get media attention?

I don't think he got them all but he likely got most of the fraudulent votes.  He did win after all and he did tell us it was rigged.

I don't see anything beautiful about the female body.

Doctors urged to use gender neutral ‘pregnant people’ instead of ‘mothers’

Let's not forget that SJWs claim that …. things like this don't actually happen in real life.

Sorry to disappoint you Henny Penny—but the sky is not falling.  :cheerup:

This suggestion came about when a pregnant patient born anatomically female but who identifies as male did not wish to be called "mother" several times during his visit with clinicians. An advisory notice was circulated, gently reminding clinicians that these rare instances can occur, and suggested not using labels like mother when interacting with them.

That's all well and good but why does the whole world need to change just for a very small number of people.  It's not that serious.  I don't know why they couldn't just put a note in the persons record.

I used to work in a call center and every once in a while a woman with a deep voice would be called "sir" because the phone rep didn't realize they were talking to a woman.  They would put a note in the file and hopefully if the person called again the same honest mistake wouldn't get made.
