I’m not familiar with the legalities, but that’s basically been the status quo in Colorado for over a decade. There are pro-life plates (and it’s remarkable how frequently they come with pro-gun bumper stickers), and no pro-choice option.

There are certain aspects of culture that are common to most of Europe, which can be fairly called “European culture”. Of course, “English culture” is much more specific, and I’m certain there are aspects of culture that are specific to different regions/groups within England.

Well I don’t know much about Native American culture, so I can’t really say, but if the backlash from reasonable Native Americans is this strong, I think we can safely say that there’s something that could have been improved. No one can speak for their entire community, but community leaders would be a great place to…

Oh please, not one person is saying the doesn’t have the right to say this or print this, that’s not even remotely relevent. Exactly what “right” is being crushed here? Freedom of speech does not mean (and has never meant) freedom from criticism.

Is it bad that my first response was “Yay, ‘the Wachowski Sisters’ sounds so much nicer than ‘the Wachowskis’!”

I would argue with you that she does do this with her own culture: she incorporates European history and the Arthurian legend and plenty of general European folklore.

Well, yes and no.

She did basically the same think with European history in the books, and honestly I thought it was a great choice. It made the world much richer and more believable.

I went back to school for CS, and my boyfriend (who has some experience in the industry) tells me things like “when you graduate, you should come work for this company! It’s the only place I’ve worked where half the developers are women and none of the men seem like assholes!”

On a barely-related note, the drawing of Trump in the header is the least horrific he’s ever looked. I can’t tell if I’m impressed or disappointed.

That’s not how the insanity defense works. It’s not about her morals. For the insanity defense to succeed, her lawyers must prove ... that she failed to know right from wrong;

No, it doesn’t. The fact that she knew his family would hate her only shows that she knew there would be social consequences, the fact that she tried to delete their conversations only proves that she knew it was illegal. None of that proves that she understood what she was doing to be wrong. Understanding…

Honestly I have no idea, I’d guess it depends on local laws and/or the judge’s discretion.

I agree, though honestly I don’t think there’s a serious possibility of that not happening. Either she’s found guilty, in which case she has mandatory psychological counseling in prison, mandatory counseling after her term is served if necessary, and a criminal record (which, while potentially deserved, is not going…

Many people are saying “she knew it was illegal, therefore she knew it was wrong, therefore the insanity defense cannot apply.” I’m just trying to point out that this logic doesn’t follow: understanding what is legal does not mean you understand right and wrong.

No, because as absurd as it is that we’re still taking him seriously, him being the republican nominee increases the likelyhood of the democrat getting elected. He’s ridiculous, but I’m not sure Rubio or Cruz are much better. I mean, they do seem to understand basic facts better and I guess we know what they actually…

Thank you.

Just so we’re all clear: Knowing the consequences of your actions is not the same as knowing that your actions are wrong. I’m willing to bet we all have something that we know we’d be punished for but that we don’t think is morally wrong. Personally, I speed and watch pirated content and drink while fertile. Almost…

If you’re worried the police are going to come after you, then obviously your actions were bad and you are aware that they were bad.

My favorite thing about Clue is that it’s the only woman-specific app I know of where everything is not pink.
