    This is the kind of attitude that proves we need more conservative opinion. Not shit posting hate, but real and valid view points.

    There is absolutely a need for more conservative opinions to be heard publicly. And judging from the comments posted here, it proves the case even more so.

    Since the 2016 election, conservatives have been labeled as literal nazis, bigots, and racists by anti-Trump media outlets. And for the most part, it's simply a lie! That doesn't mean there aren't actually those types of people on the right, the same as there are leftist fascists on the left.

    It's tough, but if you cut out Twitter and reddit entirely, (and stop blindly reading the sensationalist headlines from CNN, New York Times, and MSNBC) there are valid arguments on both sides. Most conservatives are not out to get the gay and trans people. Most do not want to see less fortunate people struggling, most are not trying to bring back Jim Crow... and I feel bad for the people on both sides that are truly caught up in the hysteria and tossing shit over the wall at each other.

    The common ground is that we're all American, and we all want whats best for our country and our people. If you simply keep the ideals of liberty and freedom in the front of your mind, I think most people would begin to find common ground and some very important compromises will be reached.

    Your view of conservatives alone proves that there is a need for more conservative opinions to be heard publicly. You sounds like you're parroting MSNBC, CNN, New York Times... A lot of what you...

    A lot of what you said above is simply incorrect.

    Nobody gives a fuck, not just Trump. Obama is just as guilty of neglecting Flint.

    I mean, its bad that Fukashima continues to pour thousands of gallons of radioactive water into the pacific, but this is cool! Being able to find out something as specific as age without coming in...

    But in 2001, the French pharmacologist Philippe Hubert discovered that he could use this signature to date wines without opening the bottles.

    Being able to find out something as specific as age without coming in contact with the wine? That truly is awesome!!!

    It's actually very interesting to me how Flint fell off the media radar so quickly. It was truly a flash in the pan, and then we were off to other things. Part of it I feel is the absurdly short attention span of Americans with their media consumption. I also think that the loss of attention is due to the low population of the city itself (under 100k as of 2016, according to a quick Google search). Low population == low number of impacted people == no one cares. We also know that Trump gets more clicks, and thus, more ad revenue so its a pretty easy choice for news outlets.

    STILL! How, in 2018, is this still going on???

    Slack and Discord are just IRC with fancy skins and more emojis. This will work for many smaller communities, but the bigger ones will be un-joinable due to spam and trolls. Not sure how I feel...

    But is it offensive? No, it's not. He is an actor and he is acting. If you're truly "offended" by this, I simply don't believe you.

    Fix Flint with that tax money :( It's enraging to me that Flint is still stuck without water, yet we live in the United States. Dare I say "where is the outrage?"
