Anything designed to make you pass out can kill you if not administered very carefully by someone who knows what they're doing. Mixing multiple tranquilizers and alcohol could easily cause you to fall asleep and never wake up. It's pure dumb *luck* this guy is 'just' an accused rapist and not an accused murderer as…

The same to you and yours!

Wow. Thank you. I was kind of dreading getting back on today and seeing what reaction I'd got (I went offline right after this because I had lost my temper here and thought I should back away for a moment) and this really makes my day along with the lack of negative comments.

So having your hands up and saying why are you shooting me I don't have a gun isn't cooperating? A man already on the ground and restrained isn't cooperating by repeatedly trying to tell the cops he is literally dying? A 12 year old sat on the swings in a park with a toy is at fault for somehow not knowing the…

Because people are stupid, obviously. That's pretty much the explanation for about 75% of the shit in this world. (There's 25% explained by 'people suck' too)

A fear of wild primates (gorillas and such are less likely to fuck you up provided you're not being epically stupid and are slow calm and quiet, but most of the smaller ones are very easily provoked) is a pretty reasonable fear, especially when it has its roots in having been bitten by one! I think you can definitely…

This is exactly right IMO. Everyone's relationships have different rules. Cheating is basically breaking those rules.

So Mayweather told him not to kill her and allegedly mocked him for not *breaking up with her* and he's somehow partly responsible for the guy killing her? If he'd kicked her out, you could say Mayweather was maybe influential in that, but I don't see how telling someone they're weak for not doing a specific thing…

Well Pope Francis has certainly hinted that pets go to heaven recently and while I was googling to find out if I'd just made that up (I haven't, its true) I discovered John Paul II also said dogs have souls.

A bath sounds a much better idea. I mean less chance of water in your beer that way! I don't like beer but I totally think wine is the perfect bathtub drink. As long as you don't drink enough to pass out obviously, but if you do that's probably natural selection in action. Hot bath, music, book (or ipad if you're not…

But they *are* loaded words in the context of someone talking about being raped, a crime where the victims are routinely blamed and disbelieved. I realise they are the standard words used when reporting crimes that have not yet been decided by a court of law, but in the case of this particular category of crime they…

I think the best way would have been to have a quote as the headline so something like Shia LaBoeuf 'I was raped'. That way you are both communicating that the news story is coming from his interview and not implying disbelief by using loaded words like claimed or alleged.

There's very little gloating going on that I've seen. Pointing out that this is another reason why people shouldn't be allowed to own guns that they're not trained to/capable of treating with the respect they need is not gloating. She was treating it like a toy. You never treat a gun as a toy, especially a loaded gun…

For me I have no issue separating the art from the artist but I try not to do anything that will financially contribute to people whose opinions or actions I have a major problem with. So if the artist is dead I have no issue - because its their estate profiting and their estate hasn't done anything. In the case of…

Pretty sure Jackson hasn't been profiting off anything for quite some time, what with him being dead.

Not to mention you would also go from 'at risk of STDs from attacker' to 'at risk of STDs and blood borne diseases from attacker'. Especially if the assault is 'limited' to oral sex.

I hate the word and wish it would go away, but as a white person I would never tell a black person not to use it. They and their ancestors have more than earnt the right to reclaim it if they want to over the last few centuries of discrimination and abuse. I feel privileged NOT to have the right to use it.

Hes Piers morgan - having opinions on things he has no right to get involved in and doesnt know much about is pretty much his entire career.

Because it would be utterly terrible to accidentally receive blood from someone who might be able to *confer some degree of immunity to ebola* on you, right?

I thought he was saying that because he'd just moved he wasn't sure if or where he was registered to vote. I know when I moved it took some time before I was able to get on the electoral roll in my new town. I don't live in the US so I have no idea how easy or hard it is to change where you're registered to vote there.
