    I am trying to read and tweet my way through the Complete Marvel Reading Order! Maybe! Eventually. It started sort of haphazardly here.

    The fight is always between "count all medals the same" and "only count gold medals", rather than weighted which is obviously the way to go.

    Middle aged French ladies shouldn't know about the Selzer poll. This is wrong and unnatural.

    It does not depend. She was born in Oakland. Her parents were not foreign diplomats. She is over 35 and has lived in the US for over 14 years. The constitutional question of whether the U.S. born child of foreigners is a citizen by birth was settled by the Supreme Court in 1898.

    If they read the third chapter they might see themselves in the reactionary socialists Marx ands Engels rather pitilessly skewer.

    I don't think opposition to Zionism is inherently anti-Semitic, but if your anti-Zionism is mostly focused on hating "Zionists", that is literally just anti-Semitism.

    God, the defenses of college students who've only read Percy Jackson books really only make this all worse. You don't need an English degree to understand Jane Austen, you're just a philistine.
