    X supports a $15 minimum wage because, in his view, the minimum wage should be calibrated to ensure someone earning it can live at thus-and-such level. Y is against a $15 minimum wage, because, in his view, the "pricing out" of some un- or low-skilled workers is terrible policy.

    X could argue that Y "doesn't care" about poor people. Y could argue that X "doesn't care" about un- or low-skilled workers.

    Who'd be lying?

    A Jones fan on Facebook.

    I pointed out that police and prosecutors said that the case involving the refugee juveniles was not a rape. They insisted it was and that the authorities downplayed the seriousness of it for reasons of political correctness.
    I seriously doubt they would do that and it's much more likely that Jones embellished the facts of the case to stir up anti-refugee sentiment.

    It was only refugee child molestation and pornography. No biggie.

    The right wing media said there was a knife involved, it was rape and the families celebrated it. None of those things are true.

    So in your estimation, am I a rape apologist?

    Except that isn't what he posted. He was happy that teachers would or could be fired. When I pointed out that those situations did not allow for protecting good teachers while getting rid of bad ones, he did not care.

    Just happened to look in. Seriously, I get that there is a slightly different standard for this thread, but really, if you find yourself wanting to call someone a "piece of shit" on here, especially on this thread. ... for your own sake, log off and head out for an ice cream sundae or something.
