So, it's crappy news and even I personally don't really care, but do you think it's a fair call for Ivanka Trump to be sued by luxury shoe brand Aquazzura for allegedly copying their shoe design? (Personally the Trump shoes look like a cheap and nasty knock-off lol)

Legitimate question. My neighbor and I have been discussing whether or not troops are heroes. She says they are because they risk their lives to protect our freedoms and rights. She said without them, we could be taken over and they're doing a job not many people will do. I said no because they get paid to do what they do and I think they are tools of war used to fight for the wealthy. Even if they didn't get paid, I don't think joining the military automatically makes you a hero, but you have to do something heroic, so it's more of an individual act. She considers the individual decision to join the military automatically makes you a hero.

What do you think?

A Spanish matador was killed by a bull on live tv during a bullfight, where a bull pierced his chest from which he later died.
If anyone doesn't know, bullfighting is a bloodsport where the matador piece the back of the bull with spears and kills it.

Saw in my Facebook newsfeed that 2 Memphis police officers were suspended (with pay) after posting this photo on Snapchat. Many BLM activists and supporters are claiming that these officers should be fired for blatantly showing racism, mostly because they are police officers and have shown they are specifically targeting blacks. Others are saying it was just in poor joke made in poor taste and the officers should be suspended, but not fired. What do you think? Here's the full story.

I'm just asking out of curiosity. I personally think RiceGum didn't do anything wrong. Alabama posted those images publicly on Instagram, and people have the right to say what they want. Sure, those comments telling her to kill herself would be cyber bullying, but RiceGum can't tell people what to comment. There was no copyright infringement made, and if you post a selfie, not everyone is going to think your heavy make-up is pretty and totally appropriate for your age. Especially if you pose by sticking out your booty when you just turned ten. If anything, her parents threatened RiceGum, since her father told him he will find him and go to his house.

So, Serena has "broke" Twitter recently for wearing this dress to her big tennis match. The dress was described as "too revealing" and "trashy because her nipples were visible through it.
People are outraged and are taking to Twitter to express their concerns.

Then others jump to her defense. Saying that these people are overreacting to the outfit, and "slut-shaming" her for no reason.


What do you think? Was the dress too revealing, or are people overreacting to this whole thing?

This new Smartphone app from Nintendo just came out recently and is an awesome idea. Though from what I have tried so far I can't do much due to not being able to travel constantly. Since I live out in the boonies and don't have much of transportation. Plus other articles I have read about what's happened are down right funny as hell. XD People walking into police stations and them telling people to please not do that and others just finding Pokemon hanging around their toilets. XD

I don't think women should be in combat. Mixed-gender troops perform more poorly than male-only troops, & female soldiers experience 6x more injuries, which costs lots of time & money.

I don't think that exclusion is sexist oppression but rather a matter of physicality. People with flat feet are not allowed in the military on the basis of their flat feet. Is that oppression against people with flat feet? If flat feet can be considered reason for exclusion, so can having a female body.

Females could effectively wield a weapon but what happens when their weapons are stripped from them? They’re much less able to defend themselves due to massive differences in brute strength, which barely overlap (i. e. most of the weakest men are stronger than most of the strongest women and untrained men are stronger than trained women).

Yes, flat feet are a medical condition and being female is technically not. However, being female is a physical condition (i. e. “the condition or state of the body or bodily functions”), which, on the basis of physical characteristics, I think could fairly exclude someone from combat.

Men with 1 or 0 testicles are also excluded from combat. Wouldn’t it be equality to also exclude women from combat on the basis of having zero testicles? Especially since testicles, and the accompanying testosterone they produce, are what makes a man have enough brute strength & aggression to be more psychologically and physically suited for combat.
In this vein, women can be allowed into combat if they have 2 testicles (trans women have testicles, so it's possible), just like men.

Just a note that this does NOT make women inferior!!!
Rather, men and women simply have different functions! Is an eye superior to an ear, or vice versa? No, they just have different functions!
Women are superior at peacemaking. This is what we should do.

So, after the massacre in Orlando, people are questioning gun laws and whether or not we should have stricter gun control. There's a quote that many people have been using in order to say that people are at fault for all the death and destruction. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Lil' Kim is notorious for changing her looks. From the 90's to now, she is almost unrecognizable.

This her before she got all of that work done...
And this is her just this year. She looks like a completely different person. She doesn't even look black anymore...


This question is basically an experiment on beauty standards and attractiveness. Which Lil' Kim
Looks better to you?

I don't really have a strong opinion regarding this issue.
I think having a gun is good to protect yourself if needed in extreme cases BUT it does seem somehow that guns are bringing more crimes than anything else?

I understand that guns are part of the American heritage , culture and identity (with the whole cowboy and sheriff thing) but it seems like there are many shootings and gun crimes there (maybe it's just being blown out of proportions by the media, I don't know)
What are your arguments?
