  • Keeping in mind the DSM used the word retarded until DSM V came out in 2013.

    Another history fact around the DSM is that homosexuality was a mental disability but that was removed way back in 1974 and society didn’t shift as quickly with it as it has now.

    The issue with retard is that it is describing an actual medical condition and swapping the word isn’t going to change that.









  • More, less, or the same as the immigrants?

    It’s unlikely the last immigrants body being found is international news.

    I’ll tell you my answer. Less. Far, far less. The immigrants weren’t in a pleasure cruise. Theirs was a journey with purpose.

    Also, fuck billionaires and their adult children who maintain contact with their billionaire parents. She made an adult decision to get on that boat. Fulton by association.

    I feel more for the employees but still less than the immigrants.


  • My understanding is that the judges are currently assigned by legislators who are voted in but could have their own agenda. This change will allow the people to directly elect the judges as well as their legislators.

    It’s not clear how the president is able to influence which judges are elected.

    If the country’s voting system doesn’t work then it’s already an issue since that’s the same mechanism that is choosing the legislature.

    My guess is that instead of paying off the already elected legislators to pick favorable judges, now the cost is an election which is more difficult to influence than that of someone who is already in power.
