Debate

Excerpt:
Imagine that wewe are in a boat. There are other people in your boat. There is also one person in the water. Allowing this person to get onto your mashua will not sink the boat. Everyone could easily fit comfortably. But still, there is a person in the water.

Now, if this person was only in the water for a short time, then yes, saying, "Hey, guys, lend me a hand onto your boat?" is probably exactly what she would do. But imagine this person has been in the water for hours. And imagine that it was other people in the mashua that pushed her in there. Not you, of course. You...

Excerpt:
I believe in debate, discussion, and discourse. I believe in listening. I believe in multiple sides to every issue. I believe everyone is worth listening to. I believe there can be fault on "all sides," and that we can all be guilty of misunderstanding each other.

I do not extend these courtesies to racists.

Ideas are dangerous. They are wonderful and they are disastrous. They can be used and misused as weapons au agents of peace. But when wewe are met with a truly deadly weapon, giving it the benefit of the doubt and letting it do its thing will get wewe and...

Yes, I broke the original link, but that has since been link. Because no one knows how to cite and circumvent obscure made-up internet rules like I do.

And maybe this title got your attention.

Excerpt:
I upendo the constitution so much that if they were selling shirts that alisema "I <3 The US Constitution" I would buy it in a heartbeat. I was that girl who walked around campus with a pocket-sized US Constitution in her purse, because, well, wewe never know when you'll need to quote a two hundred mwaka old document at someone, right?

But there was another document in my purse, too, a zaidi hivi karibuni one. This one was based on the US Declaration of Independence, and influenced kwa Thomas Jefferson's contemporaries like Thomas Paine, who themselves were influenced kwa older documents like...

Excerpt:
Idk if anyone’s noticed (lol) but I’m filthy mad about this election. Not just because of Trump himself, but because the whole thing represents, better than anything, one of the world’s most significant problem in hivi karibuni years. We are moving away from our Enlightenment ideals - tolerance, progress, and liberty - with fanfare. Under the guise of saving western culture, we are threatening its core principles. We are neglecting the lessons of history that millions fought and died for: authoritarianism is a dangerous (yet insidious) thing, vilification of minority groups is wrong...

On July 11th, fox, mbweha News' Kelly File featured a focus group to talk about the Dallas Shootings, Protests, Black Lives Matter, Obama, Race and more. This was in direct response to increasing tensions between the police and specifically the Black US population. If wewe know anything about me, wewe probably know how important I believe [b]it is that people keep talking in a constructive manner in order to come to real solutions. [i]This is why I do not like hypocrisy when it comes to tolerance. I just happen to believe in beating moto with water, not with zaidi moto as I believe it only fuels...

Excerpt:
There's been a lot of debate in this spot on the general idea of progressive "softies" who need "safe spaces" to avoid being "triggered."

The talk of these kinds of people generally devolves into hyperbolized stereotypes of wimpy college students using it as an excuse not to do their homework, for example. Acronyms like "SJWs" get thrown around, and people express their frustration about feeling like they're walking on egg shells, au censored, au having to cater to other people's over-sensitivity in order to avoid being accused of an "ism" of some sort au another. People feel...

Excerpt:
So being as math is the bane of my existence right now and I've finally snapped and nothing is left of my motivation in regards to math but a manifestation of pure rage and anger I am going to rant zaidi about how much I hate math. I have grown to hate it so much that I am now putting effort and energy into my hatred of it. So I will now continue my venting and raging about why students shouldn't have to suffer like so.That alisema parts of this are going to be taken from my maoni over on my 'is math necessary' poll.

Excerpt:
I bet those conservatives out there were thinking that I'd forgotten all about them! Not true! In fact, I have been doing extra research over the last few days to fully get the feel for each candidate still in the running.

If wewe missed my makala on the link, I assure wewe it's a good, solid, and fair assessment of each candidate

In the last article, I joked about Donald Trump, and alisema that I would probably not be very respectful when discussing...
