Just FYI for you Hiccup fangirls, he isn't special for training a dragon. Everyone trained dragons in the book, he just knew how to speak to them. And toothless was a sarcastic little dipstick who didn't do anything.

I think he would have let the guy go though. I mean, how would you explain that?
"I got a kid here, had a bag of drugs on him."
"Where are the drugs?"
"...I let him flush them down the toilet."

Last time I checked, America was a country. The United States of America. If we aren't a country what the hell are we?

JK Rowling said once that she was glad that she spoke to Emma on the Phone when she got the role before seeing her otherwise she would have insisted that Emma was too pretty to be Hermione.

Look, if half of Americans were carrying guns, would thugs and violent gun men really want to try and cause problems if there is a 50/50 chance that a civilian could take them down easy?

Why is white guilt a thing? My ancestors were farmers from Romania and didn't have slaves. In fact, they were tossed into concentration camps during WW2, but I don't expect Germans to get on their hands and knees and beg me for my forgiveness. We don't know people's personal history and we can't but the burden that was slavery on every white person's shoulders. We shouldn't be ashamed of our race, no matter who we are. When people say that whites should feel bad because all white people were responsible for slavery that's racist as well as stereotyping.

Why is Draco listed as helping the rebellion? That little weasel did nothing. He went back to the Death Eaters despite Ron and Harry saving his life. His mother was more of a hero than he was.

I remember when ten years ago bullying was just a part of school and helped build character. Now everything is all bubble wrapped. And you get suspended for fighting back.

I'd be too afraid of tripping over the box like "Sorry that I just beaned you with my foot,"

I never said they were evil or stupid so don't put words in my mouth.
Look, our opinions are drastically different. One side believes in a god like force and the other in science. There really is no middle ground. I for one am not willing to give up my ideas because someone on the internet told me to. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't treat others who don't believe in I do with respect. Maybe our opinions about the world don't coincide, but as long as we respect each other that shouldn't matter.

Gender identity is a serious thing. As a cis girl with a trans brother I know how important this is. No matter what your eyes tells you about their body or appearance, respect the gender they ask you to refer to them as. This comic is a very bad representation of the trans community. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but to people struggling with gender identity, it mean a lot.

Some people don't have the time or money to drag people to court. Think about that before judging.

How can you ask someone to be flax about what they believe in? That's the point of freedom of religion and free speech. If you want middle ground between science and religion there's always Scientology. And no one wants that.
If we learned to "let go of things" instead of having strong opinions, slavery and segregation would still exist in the US. As Alexander Hamilton said "He who stands for nothing will fall for anything."

The roots would need to have some way to grow. A flood of that scale would have drowned the roots or just completely killed it because it had no way to receive energy from the sun.
Look, we aren't trying to be all condescending and pretend we know everything, so I don't appreciate the sarcasm. It's like me saying all religious people are condescending douchebags who are all homophobes. While it does apply to some, it doesn't apply to all. We believe in science so that is what we will present you with. You believe in a creator and that is what you will present us with. No matter what we will clash heads. Why can't we just respect each other as people and not what we believe in?

As an atheist I agree and disagree. We should all be represented and I in no way think that all religious people are evil or "jerks" and there are bad representations who just have a loud obnoxious voice. However, if you don't like the atheist posts you should just scroll past it. If I see posts about god I just move on past, not bothering to challenge it because it is what someone else believes in and I respect that.

I am a firm atheist but I wish there was some sort of afterlife. The thought of just no longer existing is terrifying.
