Thank you! A reasonable response. I don't even think she was blaming the victim, since there was no clear indication she thought the boys were punished too much. But this "blaming the victim" hate bandwagon is a popular thing right now, so nobody will even hear a word of a counter point.

I think that is in reference to the horribleness of the situation. Saying it would suck more if she were a virgin.

Typical overreaction. She doesn't say anything about the boys (other than questioning the punishment without a response). She merely says that the girl had poor judgment. The rapists are awful and terrible people, as are all the others who just watched, and got what they deserved. One fact does not make the other…

Amazing! Thank you sir! Goodbye all the work I had planned!

Very true. The Federer-Nadal at Wimbledon 2008 match was easily the best match I've ever watched. Damn that was good. Maybe I'll watch a replay of that somewhere.

He's dead? Shit. How about Rick James? "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" Ha, that's what you kids say, right?

You got me champ. It seems I was wrong about the FDCPA part. However, since we do have to send a validation letter, many agencies don't report to credit in that period because it's a higher potential for a lawsuit. My particular agency doesn't report for like the first 60 days because we want to give time for a proper…

I'd say my biggest advice if getting a call from a collector (and this comes from 5 years in the industry) is this: pay it now to avoid any negative marks on your credit. Collection agencies cannot report to your credit until 33 days have passed and they have made a reasonable attempt to contact you in that time. When…

Good advice. I currently work at a collection agency, and I concur. I'm not a collector (anymore) though. Seriously though, I would wager a large sum that people being unbelievably rude and just straight up lying to collectors happens way more than the other way around. Having said that, I despise collection agencies…

My guess, and this is from inside (my head) sources, is that Frank Vogel bet on his team to lose in OT by a layup buzzer beater by LeBron. I mean, you would imagine he got great odds on that, right? Somewhere around 2-1? Yeah... see last sentence indeed.

So, I don't really like the used game registry thing, but I can see the light on the horizon: no Gamestop. Why is that good? Because they can sell used games (or codes for them, if they are cool and let you sell your digital ownership of the game) and still give the developer a cut. This, in turn, will cut down the…

The laughter soothes the sting.

So, knowing the area he got hit very well, I'd say that was a really dumb choice of a path. The road is often made up of cliffs by the coast and windy as hell roads with little to no room on the side. I am absolutely amazed every time I see a bicyclist riding on said highway, because it seems like a death wish.

By the same logic, the slur "chink" is not a slur. Not a white person word at all. But I wouldn't go yelling it in Little China if I were you.

Truly, the impact of his absence will be felt for a long time. His loss will make a huge divot in profits for the next quarter. Surely, the stock will be in a free-fall.

Is it weird that I take a little joy from this? Russell Westbrook is a great freakin' point guard, but I just loathe the guy. Just, like, everything about him. His style, his demeanor, his attitude. Everything. Helluva player though. And as others have said, they didn't have a chance against Miami anyway, so why not…

Bravo, good sir.

"Also, neither the WBC nor KKK are international organizations with cells in every major country, millions of dollars in illicit funding, vast political influence in key parts of the world and a desire to establish a new global order through ceaseless violence and oppression."

I was just so mad about this game. Like, the premise is SO awesome, and somehow they still fucked it up. I was an early adopter. I have played maybe 3 hours, max. Such a wreck. Seriously: dinosaurs and jetpacks? HOW can that not be fun? Ugh, I'll hate myself, but I know I'll try the new one this week.

Good on her. This is exactly how coming out should be: not a big deal. She is what she is. Get over it. I hope that male sports can be so open some day.
