Oorah!

Btw, four drinks is binge drinking? WTF?
A new report from the RAND Corporation analyzed survey data from thousands of active-duty military members and found Marines are more likely to be heavy drinkers, use tobacco and engage in riskier sexual behavior than the sailors, soldiers and airmen of the other branches...

In this context, "riskier sexual behavior" means buttsecks

Those are just risky.

That's why they said, "riskier"

What this basically comes down to is that liberals weaponize political correctness...complain when someone uses it to bomb Hollywood.

If you have any doubt as to which side has more snowflakes and a more powerful complaint apparatus for social pressure, you need only compare the reaction to Kevin Williamson getting hired by the Atlantic to Jeong getting hired by a much more prestigious media outlet.

There's nothing remarkable about her, she's a typical vulgar SJW with a bullhorn

What IS interesting us the amount of 'splainin being done by NYT, Vox, and other outlets. It is a rare glimpse into the sequestered logic of the righteous left

what is also interesting is how a Korean - a demographic that averages higher than whites in just about every category you can think of - median income, education... how someone like that can be taken seriously at all when bashing an entire racial group. Yet another tell that the social justice movement isnt at all about justice... it is about retribution.

Vox "voxsplained" to all of us...... "cancelwhitepeople" is just how people talk in those circles... no big deal

Yep. The vast majority of these groups have underlying racism and sexism against white males as the unspoken (but obvious to anyone with a brain) tenet of their movements. They call themselves progressive, but their entire focus is on the rear view mirror.

That’s why we must crush them, sooner rather than later. Don’t give them time to fortify.

No one is offended. It's just that the quickest way to change the rules is to ensure that liberals also have to play by them.

No, if y'all complain about every tweet that upsets you, and the other side does the same... nothing is going to change.

I don't think the Korean woman should lose her job over those tweets. But I also don't think the guy who was CEO of Mozilla should've lost his job a few years back because he donated to an effort to establish marriage as involving one man and one woman. And I don't think the Papa Johns guy should have been cast out because he said "the N word" while saying that someone else said "the N word."

Now, when it comes to Trump supporters, that's different. All bets are off there. Trump supporters SHOULD lose their jobs, be cast out, etc.

And Kevin Williamson, Denise Young, James Damore, Quinn Norton, and James Gunn.

I would've preferred they all be able to keep their jobs. Who companies choose to fire is a reflection of outrage culture, and until it backfires on a critical mass of liberals it's not going to change.
