US Supreme Court Upholds Affordable Health Care Act

[ShadowHM]

This is a tangent, but I have to comment on this.

Bolding mine

Until a) Congress is held accountable for the corruption inherent in the system ( aka lobbyists ), b) "Socialism" quits being equated to Fascism and Communism, and c) The gov't realizes that they need to grow a pair and start cracking down on some of industries that are running rampant and ruining the quality of life for the citizens, nothing is going to change.

Please cease conflating the possession of testicles with possession of courage or assertiveness. I resent the implication that I have been short-changed on my ability to be brave or assertive because I was born with a uterus instead of testicles. I am hoping you used the phrase without thinking, but please take more care in future.

No offense implied, although I am learning quite a bit about intent vs impact. It was meant figuratively, not literally.

I am glad to know that you did not intend to be offensive. However, you did imply that a pair of testicles confers courage and assertiveness.
There was an equally offensive figure of speech that was common when I was a child: "That's mighty white of you" was used to imply that someone had been gracious and kind. It was meant figuratively and not literally, but it was still offensive. Nobody has used that one in my hearing (or written it where I have seen it) for many years. I would like to see this 'figure of speech' go away too, for the reasons I cited above.
