    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    Your sex kinks are irrelevant to this conversation. I'd be quite happy if you kept your bedroom behavior in the bedroom.

    I see that you are admitting that the use of "incarceration" for placement in a residential mental health facility for those without the ability to care for themselves and maintain existence without supervision is inappropriate then.

    I just went through five different dictionaries, and your suggestion is not supported. They all list a singular definition for incarceration, and it involves placement in a prison. On the other hand... confinement, detention, and restraint could all reasonably be used for your proposed meaning...

    Sure, sure. And all words are made up, and we can't ever actually know if anyone else exists or if they're just figments of our imaginate, and there's no way to tell whether the color that I see and know with the word "green" is the same color that you see or whether you are seeing the color...

    Nah, I just refuse to play this game. My sex is not an identity. Had Poli written "Emily's sex... " I'd have no complaints. But he chose to present it as if my sex is a psychological aspect of my character. And I'm simply not going to accept that linguistic coercion.

    I'm very tired of your dishonest mischaracterization of my views. Don't you have any integrity at all?

    As opposed to literally being on the streets with no protection?

    I give up. Nobody else has proposed anything that meets your just-now-arbitrarily-added requirement of being inexpensive. Nobody else has suggested anything that has a chance in hell of being enacted either. So I guess we'll just stick with leaving people on the streets and fucking up life...

    I swear this ends up being linguistic terrorism. It's inane. I wasn't allowed to leave campus in high school, but it would be ridiculous to say that I was "incarcerated" during high school. There are any number of situations where a person isn't allowed to leave a venue or location for a...

    I don't "identify" as a woman; I AM a sexually mature female of the human species. That's an incontrovertible fact of my body, it's not open to interpretation and it's not subject to any personal desires or wishes. It's not a conservative view. You end up framing it as "conservative" only...

    They've never assigned fault, because there is no blame to be meted out. They were raised, as were their parents, and their parents before them, to have resilience. They raised us to have that same resilience. Bad things happen in all of our lives. Most of them are not any specific person's...

    Incarceration is literally being held in prison. Rehab facilities are not prisons. Do you have any suggestions of your own, are you down with the "let them eat cake it's all fine" approach?

    Multi-Billionaire Oprah Whines About Sexism & Income Inequality At DNC

    In case it isn't clear, I understand fairly well what generational trauma is proposed to represent. But I also think it's pop-psychology and largely gets used as an excuse that ignores both current dynamics and personal accountability. My mom's family is irish immigrants who went through...

    Just to make sure I'm following your approach... A fetus inherits trauma from their mother, so much so that it traumatizes the eggs of female fetuses. This inherited victimization is so severe that it just keeps going through multiple generations, never allowing anyone to escape from the bad...

    It's like you're completely unaware of Appalachia, the interior of FL, and the wilderness of several extremely large national forests. Sure, it's technically owned by the federal government, but hermits live there. Go join them.

    I don't give a shit if the republican party supports these policies. I never claimed they did, nor do I support them, so I don't know what the fuck they have to do with what I think is the most reasonable approach. Great. You bitch that nobody is offering solutions, you join in the pile-on of...

    I didn't suggest just mental health treatment. Some degree of treatment is appropriate, certainly. But I specifically said residential facilities - literally places that house the severely mentally disordered so that both they and everyone else is safe. That doesn't assume some kind of...

    I get where you're coming from, but none of Loren's supposition involves race at all. Loren's inferior/superior argument is in the context of academic capability. It's everyone else who keeps assuming that inferior = black and superior = white. Loren hasn't done that.

    Wouldn't the tuition and fees part of that make it not free college for all?
