52. "I'm decrying a CULTURE"

Thu Nov 3, 2016, 02:05 PM

Nov 2016

I had no idea that Donald Trump was a Syrian refugee.

I'll have to put that on my list of things I learned today.

"We're disgusted that this country can elect a man who treats women like cattle but can't bring yourself to decry a culture that does the exact same thing"

I believe that individuals are responsible for their actions.

You believe that groups of individuals are responsible for the actions of any member of that group.

We differ on the social utility of those two points of view.
