7. Go to Mother Jones
to the link above, and see the box insert for a link to an article that examines the effectiveness of SYG laws.

9. Saw it
Didn't change my mind.
I realize MJ is gonna be slanted and present stuff in the most hyperbolic manner possible, but they still didn't make a compelling argument why we should put the safety of the attacker over that of the victim.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Mother Jones is slanted and hyperbolic. This person is obviously not a Democrat.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jul 14, 2013, 07:22 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You disagree with the poster, the poster did NOT violate TOS. This is NOT what Alert is for and you just wasted 6 people's time. Btw, you DO NOT HAVE TO BE A DEMOCRAT TO POST ON THIS SITE. The alerter needs to READ TOS.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: New poster is stating his opinion in a respectful manner. You disagree? Discuss it and quit alert stalking. BB your next post is needling this guy in a passive aggressive manner that is not very nice to watch. Please stop it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Since when aren't all opinions welcome at DU?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerter can't come up with a better argument than that?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

30. Wow, I didn't realize
The level of groupthink and conformity some people demand here.
Yeah, MJ has a left wing slant. Who isn't smart enough to know that? I mean my god, do you know who Morher Jones was?
Doesn't mean I don't read it or anyone else shouldn't, but anyone who does should be aware of that, and if you are going to cite them in a debate be intellectually honest enough to know your source had a bias, from whatever perspective.
We are intellectually dishonest if we lambast Fox without admitting we have sources we enjoy that have a slant as well.
As for hyperbolic, the little cartoon in the opening shows that.
If this place demands I throw blinders on and pretend some sources are slanted in a way that we may like, maybe I am too honest to post here.

14. Actually you do have to be a Democrat to post here
It is in the TOS. I've read them. Jurors should as well

15. Show me where it says you have to BE a Democrat
From the TOS
"Vote for Democrats.
Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect. When we are not in the heat of election season, members are permitted to post strong criticism or disappointment with our Democratic elected officials, or to express ambivalence about voting for them. In Democratic primaries, members may support whomever they choose. But when general election season begins, DU members must support Democratic nominees (EXCEPT in rare cases where were a non-Democrat is most likely to defeat the conservative alternative, or where there is no possibility of splitting the liberal vote and inadvertently throwing the election to the conservative alternative). For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side."

16. Oh, so your view is someone who considers Democratic publications slanted
votes for Democrats? Really?
Then there is this from TOS: Don't be a wingnut (right-wing or extreme-fringe).
Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working within the system to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of political office. Teabaggers, Neo-cons, Dittoheads, Paulites, Freepers, Birthers, and right-wingers in general are not welcome here. Neither are certain extreme-fringe left-wingers, including advocates of violent political/social change, hard-line communists, terrorist-apologists, America-haters, kooks, crackpots, LaRouchies, and the like.

17. That STILL doesn't state you have to BE a Democrat.

18. politically liberal
No right wingers allowed. Get it? Anyway, I alerted on the jury results to the administrators and wrote MIRT about the poster. They can take care of it.

19. I'm politically liberal and I consider myself a socialist way more than I consider myself a Democrat
so you didn't get the results you wanted, so now you're trying another route to get your way.. How much like a Republican tactic that is. If you don't get your way, then change the rules.

Proof that you can't educate logical thinking and commonsense into inherently stupid people.

They say 'advanced degrees' are exercises of learning more and more about less and less.
If we couple that with my favorite Bud Bundy quote - "See, if you take a gallon of knowledge and pour it into a shot glass of a brain, you're gonna spill some. In other words, certain basic information had to be sacrificed."
I think we have an understanding of why BainsBane is the way she is.

I wonder if she has a hand in getting student loan applications rejected, if she thinks the student might be politically conservative.

Or a correction, or a different point of view.

For advanced degrees, as the knowledge trickles in one ear, the quality known as common sense floods out the other ear, at a volume and velocity that could only be matched by the Hoover Dam suddenly giving way. The PhDD is certainly an example of this.

Thankfully, I don't think she does. She helps write grants, for other parasites to beg for free money.
Look how childish she is. What a bitch, and she's certainly not well-liked at the DU.
