The white woman could not properly direct her rage at her husband, she could not rail against white male supremacy. She too was in hell and Black enslaved women where the only ones in the chambers bellow her.

You are discounting a major point. I think you are dismissing that white women back in the day were racist…

If the allegations are false what does Oberst deserve as compensation? I'm inclined to think they are.

Well let's just say, for the sake of argument, she is lying and the rape is a fabrication. She has been spreading lies about him and it has been affecting his career. What sort of compensation does this man deserve? Not what he can get, but what does he deserve?

I think this is adorable! Why everybody gotta be hatin?

"Some believe we are ingrained to want to build a life with another person. "

Um, we are. The hormone is called oxytocin. This is why after a break up people often feel depressed. They are not making that hormone after a breakup. But they are when in a relationship. The hormone in combination with others is important…

Yeah, I'm fairly certain we have evolved for that to be more acceptable. Seriously, it is safer. With the upper body strength men have and a greater propensity to be physical it's just safer. One woman and 2 or more men has been the result of quite a bit of death. Y'know, like duels and what not.

Yes, let's fund a study. With an impressive sample size. I volunteer to be in a polygamous marriage for this study. When do I get my multiple wives and my finds?

It's a social problem because our life expectancy has increased greatly with little time to socially adjust to it. If you only lived for 40 years then the divorce rate would be much lower. Also, add in technology. People can actually live on their own with a fairly high standard of living these days. Not so in the…

At thus point JJ Abrams is a name, a brand, something that will get people to buy/consume something. Sorta like Starbuck's. I like their coffee, but I stopped visiting regularly a long time ago. It's just a brand with a widely recognizable identity.

That is HILARIOUS!
