There must be a reason why Mexico produces a neverending stream of people who flee their country towards, and in favor of, the US.

One thing that was pointed out to me a wee while back, was that the "official" figure for Holocaust victims has increased from 6 million (which I grew up with) to 11 million.

"Bastards" isn't strong enough. "Scum," "assholes," "parasites," and "sub human" are closer to the truth. Feminists who are more open about their radicalism use these terms.

The irony with the whole "ableism" thing. Oh no, let's not make generalizations about issues that may affect 1/10th or so of the population.
