if the speed limit is 65 or more mph, or inappropriately high for the conditions, it's ok to drive slower than that in the left lane.

Woodrow Wilson was a great President. Not an unpopular opinion in the real world, but on atlas it is
Well, he was also extremely racist, so...

^ LOL, I am probably due for one.  Seriously, though, I go like 10 over.  Whole lot of daylight between going 5 under in the passing lane and going like 95, which is actually pretty dangerous.

Those who live by the law die by the law.

“The righteous will live by faith.” 12The Law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The one who does these things will live by them.” 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us.

This is why when I'm walking down the stairs and my enormous feet are too big for them and I slip and almost throw my back out, I curse "JESUS CHRIST!"  Then I say thank you.

Waving a Confederate flag is not only racist, but treasonous and anti-American.

I'm not sure it's "treasonous" to simply waive a flag in a nation with free speech and freedom of assembly, but yes: there is simply no redeeming quality of the Confederate flag.

What if you're waving it in order to increase the airflow to the flames?

It is basic decency/politeness to behave in a somewhat urgent manner in public.  You might not be running late to work or to pick up your kid or to get your mom at the car dealership, but somebody else might be.  Acting totally leisurely when doing non-entertainment activities like driving a car or checking out at the grocery store is such a dick move.  Someone who, for example, takes 2-3 seconds to accelerate when the light turns green or is in no rush whatsoever to wrap up their transaction at the checkout stand is infuriatingly oblivious at best and downright self-centered/rude at worst.
Dude, my electric car and I are trying. 0-60 time isn't exactly stellar.

If an insufficient number of people are willing to voluntarily sign up for a nations military during wartime/too many people in the military engaging in desertion, for the Country to defend itself, then the Country in question absolutely deserves to lose the war, because it means that the population in the Country are in disagreement with the rational the Country used to get itself involved in the war.

This ones a doozy.

I have a severely autistic brother who went through intense therapy to learn how to do just about everything. As a result, my mother became acquainted with a number of mothers of other mentally disabled children. These women, seeing the deep bond my other brother and I have with Harry, often approached us as if we were some sort of autism whisperers or something. I always resented these minivan driving shrills.

Their kids aren’t autistic. They’re basically just a bit off. They are either cruely called or ironically call themselves “spergs.” I sympathize with their plight, I really do. They’ve done nothing wrong and are treated grotesquely. But their overprotective self-righteous parents need to quit appropriating the “spectrum” and inflating the definition of autism. I know this one woman who calls herself an “autism crusader” and sometimes winds up on the local news for her activism. She used to call my mom to vent and cry about her struggles. Her son is almost completely normal. He’s just, in George Carlin’s words, kinda goofy.

Meanwhile my brother can’t tie his own shoes and was basically ripped from our home despite my parents giving it 220%. I never demanded sympathy for my family’s situation. Respect, sure, but never sympathy. And I’m tired of having to expend it on people way more fortunate than us. I also fear it will take away from the resources allotted to those who are literally disabled.

And it’s not that we shouldn’t help those who do have Aspergers. Just don’t do it at the expense of those with DS or autism.
