If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

(Although, in Christina's "defense," she apparently warned from the start that she'd say "Go fuck yourself. Blocked." to anyone who dissented, so it wasn't really targeted at this particular fellow per se.)

I was specifically talking about the first volley of shots, jugheadnaut, but you're right, I didn't define "very close." And I also don't know what would constitute close enough that, given the circumstances, Wilson's initial use of deadly force was so unambiguously justified that there's not even p...

Like any situation in which 2 sides differ vehemently on what happened, there may be at least a grain of truth in each's version. I don't feel like I know enough about the shooting of Michael Brown to come to a conclusion one way or another. Sure seems like body cameras on cops would allow for a mo...

Wow, I can't believe the commenters over at Nugent's allowed Andy to so easily hijack the thread.

With no apparent sense of irony, Little Paul Myers throws a jab at another blog owner for giving tacit approval to the excessive and unchecked accusations, drama and rage emanating from his commentariat. http://i.imgur.com/ukk2spL.jpg http://www.freezepage.com/1416317366KNMSFGSWCQ Could his blind s...

But maybe it is different in the USA, since it was Washington Irving who invented this story and he was much more popular in his own country than abroad.

Hornbeck has written a Nugent length comment analysing the Pit on the Aneris / Brive Zvan post His Exec-conclusion is that: "In reality, this just makes them gullible, credulous, and thus easy to fuck with."

Let's be fair: there is white privilege. Not always, especially not on an individual scale, but there is. Right there, you've hit the nail on the head -- deliberately or not. The concept of privilege only makes sense at a collective scale -- but SJWs invariably deploy it at the individual scale. It...
