@XenoHosting Having a 13 year old discussing the widespread and deep rooted bullying going on schools is perfectly legitimate; because it has to do with sexual issues, that is NOT a good reason to label it as disgusting and inappropriate... These are real issues that real young people are experiencing; we need to be discussing and helping wherever we can.

The problem with taking back election funding from the 1% is that combined the 1% have more money than the 99%

Hold on.,. doesn't the point have it's own channel?

Where's my TYT?

Why dont you just tax capital gains on a sliding scale just like income.

So if you make 20 million a year you dont just pay 3 million in tax. You pay 8 million(40%).

Sure these guys could just not sell shares that year, or space out the selling of shares... but they have to sell it eventually, we are talking about guys like Romney that make 100 million of it each year. They can't just say, this year i choose not payout out my 100 million.

What is so hard about doing that?

they all sound so out of touch relating to the slut shaming bit.

I need to hear people talk about "slut shaming" in relation to the fact that women can have sex nearly anytime they want (single) and the social and emotional intel, and status it takes for a man to have sex nearly anytime he wants (single).

The man has to ENTER the woman's body, thus the woman "gives permission". Woman have much greater biological and other consequences each time she has sex than men do.

We can't compare the 2 sexes on this issue, but I hope we move away from "slut shaming"

@darkmantlestudios That is because a great many corporations pay for the law actually.

I do not like that so many young people practice such dangerous sexual relations but in order for a subject such as this to be a moot point we need all schools across the whole nation to start prepubescent students on a comprehensive sex education course that last at least two school years. PT conferences should deal with the discussion of youth and sexuality.

As far as adults there should be no such thing as too much sex. Only unsafe sex should be shamed. Openness about sex is important.

@RoibeardMacDubthaigh Corporations are considered people under American law actually.
