@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: But this wasn't an article about the "issues surrounding the Assange" case. This was about Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann dismissing rape charges as "hooey," and promulgating false information that will discredit his alleged victims. It has nothing to do with wikileaks, except…

@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: "pushing a rape charge is probably the best way to get public opinion against Public Enemy No. 1"
@Rollercoasters: If you're under the impression that anyone around here holds politicians who kill people—or do anything less obviously evil but still fucked up—in high regard, you are sorely mistaken.
@memphreblues: IN EUROPE WOMEN LIKE IT LIKE THAT.
@AtomiClash humanitarian mizanthrope: How nuanced and thoughtful of you. Clearly your opinion won't make any difference to the national narrative or his trial or his accusers or his defenders. It's far too logical.
@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: HAHAHA yeah I know bitches should just STFU about rape charges! Julian Assange did a good thing therefore the fact that he may have raped two women doesn't matter at all!
@potkettleblack: I hadn't even seen that. That's so scary.
@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: The point of this article wasn't to comment on Assange, or his case, or his bail. The point was that Michael Moore (supposed liberal activist) called rape charges "hooey" instead of taking the common and very real possibility of violence against women seriously. I support Wikileaks. I…
@Tommygun45: From what I understand, our passwords were encrypted. So when the hackers stole the info, the information they had was like, "Username: Tommygun45; Email: Tommygun45@email; Password: [series of nonsense letters/numbers]." hot321 isn't what they see, they see the encrypted version of hot321. But it's…
@delirium.megans: SPOILERS JEEZ
Oh hello Liberal Dude. Oh, you're really Liberal, huh? Oh, no? You're actually Progressive? That's what you prefer to be called? Ok. So I suppose you could call me Progressive too. So I suppose you're against Rape Culture too, huh? No? You think Rape Culture is a load of hooey cooked up by some radical feminazis who…
@Little Time Bomb: Condom wrapper in the stacks. It's unclear if there is still a condom (used? unused?) somewhere down there.
Good article. This is exactly what I mean when I talk about how it's possible to be mainstream/accessible/moderately-fluffy* but still be enjoyable and feminist-friendly.
@pauljones: So, the people who are unhappy with the way the site's been changing—should we "consider opening your door and exploring other things that the world has to offer" because we've made legitimate complaints, or should we "try being an active member of the community that shapes what this site is and has become…
@penguinz: American citizens get rights in America that non-citizens do not have. Because citizenship is a legally codified status, their extra rights are codified in the law. I mean anything from access to education to the right to live with your family without fear of deportation.
@MissContrarian: Probably not, because animals instinctively avoid sex with close biological relations in order to spread out the gene pool and maintain gene diversity within the species.
@cookiecutter: so your point is that two people who don't know each other and don't know that they are related start fucking: should that be illegal?
@MissContrarian: "We have not however, been able to give an objective reason why the taboos for homosexuality and incest are dissimilar and why the breaking down of one doesn't lead to the breaking down of the other, and if that is or isn't a bad thing"
@cookiecutter: Right that's not actually a parent/child relationship except biologically. Obviously.
