That reply is a good summary of the difference between American liberals and American conservatives on government regulations:

No, don’t you see, the “hyper efficient algorithms in the code...” Only the glorious BROS OF S.V. can save us from the evil “racist-cab-drivers” and their draconian anti-tech regulations like criminal background checks and such.

It’s not uncommon for the markup on a bottle of wine in restaurants, especially white table cloth ones, to be inxcess of 60%. They’re not losing money by doing this. Conversely, if you order a $500 of an ‘87 Bordeaux and Sommelier breaks the cork (or even worse punches it in) because it’s all but disintegrated, then…

If you or someone you know is struggling with domestic violence, call the national domestic abuse hotline at 1-800-799-3224

I’d be down for a Zeta-Jones Janet.

OR, some people aren’t good at mating for life.

Baskin Robins already knew about all of these.

Seriously. I'm sure it's like a one on one Gymboree class and, logistically, for them it probably is easier to have someone come to their house. As someone who's not naturally inclined to being active, without a background in sports as a kid I definitely wouldn't be as open to working out as I am now (endorphins are…

So... she has one her trainers teach North basic, age appropriate exercises twice a week? BURN THE WITCH! I can’t see a reason to snark about this. I think there’s nothing wrong with giving young kids a good groundwork for health and fitness. It would be one thing if he was putting a two year old through ridiculous…

So someone is trading on their good relations with popular actors (one of whom is arguably one the biggest stars in the world right now) in order to release a movie with a large built-in audience? Well that’s not cool.

I believe time would be better spent educating

I feel bad for Jake Lloyd. He’s become the poster child for why Episode 1 was shit and it really is undeserved. There were so many other problems with that movie but sure let’s focus on the child actor and “WHOOPIE!”.

On the other hand, I have met too many men who can’t wait to have more contraception options available to them. Women trying to trap them, attempting to wrongly assign paternity to them etc. So there’s that.

There’s honestly nothing that can really BE done. The school’s can’t engage in punative actions against students who, legally speaking, have done nothing wrong. Frankly, they could be sued for that.

Successful prosecution of sexual assault has the lowest rate of most forms of crime, but this in no way creates a…

An ‘alleged’ rapist isn’t a rapist, anymore than you or I are rapists in the eyes of the law. “Innocent until proven guilty” is a principle of our legal system. You cannot take away someone’s rights without due process. This is enshrined in the constitution. You can’t just make exceptions when you feel like it because…

Sorry but that is how the criminal justice system works, you don’t punish people when there is no evidence they did anything wrong.

I know. It’s so weird and foreign to me as well and just doesn’t make sense but it’s one of those things I just put down to cultural differences and don’t even ask that question anymore because it just gets you a lot of angry replies accusing you of being a rape apologist (wtf?).

If there is not enough evidence for an arrest then nothing should happen to that person. He should have a clean record and he should be able to transfer to another school. Sorry but that is how the criminal justice system works, you don’t punish people when there is no evidence they did anything wrong. And yes maybe a…

It’s a very old debate about balancing our freedoms to_____ with our freedoms from ____. I think sometimes we forget about one or the other. If the right to keep charges which have been made against me a secret from a school I am transferring to trumps my right from being raped, every single time as a matter of…
