  1. When I see the progressive garbage coming out of Canada (e.g. giving the government the power to seize children from parents who don't agree with the child's gender identity, stripping a parent's right to decide how their child is taught about homosexuality), I simply shake my head and say, "No, thank you."

    Do you have any hard data on this claim, or are you just parroting liberal talking points?

    So in the Dr. Who Universe, this particular Gallifreyan regenerates 12 times into a male. But poof! Number 13 is a woman! Kind of stretches the suspension of disbelief a bit. If viewed through the lens that any Gallifreyan can regenerate into either a male or female, then why only one out of 13 for this particular Gallifreyan? Does the lack of "diversity" in regenerations indicate that Gallifreyan DNA favors males?

    Back in the real world, many will view this as preachy SJW fodder, and the show will now always have that hanging over it. I refused to watch the last season because of their introduction of a homosexual companion, which I feared would be nothing more than SJW virtue signalling. Reading over the comments here, apparently that's exactly what happened.

    Now that they've had their "token" homosexual, the BBC now has to have their "token" woman take on the Doctor's mantle. What's next, a transgender Doctor?

    How is filtering a movie distorting reality?? Movies usually don't reflect reality whatsoever. And telling me I failed them and society with my lack of parenting is simply dismissable hyperbole.

    I'm not sure where you live, but my children are in elementary school, and most likely haven't heard a lot. Why not try to protect them? At some point, they will enter the real world with all of its horrors, and they will adapt. But shouldn't a child get to be a child at such an early age?

    Obviously there's a market for filtering, as VidAngel as other companies that have come before them have done quite well before being sued into oblivion. For example, my kids wanted to watch, "The Martian." I didn't want them hearing the foul language, so we watched it using VidAngel. I was satisfied, and the kids enjoyed it. How does that make me a stupid person?

    You voted for Trump because you identify with his white nationalism and you blindly hate the left. You feel like you're losing all the entitlements and benefits you had as a white male and you blame it on women and minorities....

    As a white male, this is the funniest thing I've read all day! In all seriousness, though, THIS is the reason why Trump won. Average people who go to work every day, spend time with the family, and try to be involved in their communities are tired of being labeled, called names, told they're meanies, etc. when they don't agree with mouth-foaming liberals. Liberals have nobody to blame but yourselves for Trump.

  25. Can we stop with the Trump conspiracy theories already? The facts are that Clinton was an completely undesirable candidate, and conservatives were tired of Obama's progressive policies (and being called names anytime they disagreed). Is that so hard to understand?
