I agree, one of my ancestors was a straight up SERIAL KILLER and no ones ever demanded that I do anything about that, know why? Because he's LONG dead, not gonna' be claiming any new victims any time soon. Honestly if everyone who's family has done horrible shit had to spend their lives apologizing, we'd all be so…

Sorry, it is bullshit that the descendant of a slave owner has some special requirement for apologizing for slavery. It is double bullshit when that person is a celebrity. It's triple bullshit when you have living plutocrats actively oppressing living people, right fucking now.

"This" "weaksauce" You have gross internet speak. Can't wait till no one talks like this anymore.

I don't see how people who had nothing to do with the situation besides the accident of birth should be responsible. I don't think that having bad family members makes you guilty. Then again, I'm not a fan of the concept of collective guilt in most situations.

The gap between persuasion and coercion is not a small one. Persuasion says, in essence, "I think you'd enjoy this just as much as I would." Coercion is "Do this, or suffer consequences." For a good example of coercion, let's look at your post: "Don't do that; it's not very nice, and when alcohol is involved, it may…

"A woman will intentionally strive to turn you off to see whether or not she can derail your sexual train of thought and action."

Lots of communities/school districts offer free lunch during the summer too. When I was little I loved free lunch at the local elementary school. The chicken nuggets and fries were far more palatable to me than the crunchy, hippie stuff that my parents fed me. The cafeteria people never asked for proof of…

I'm really not sure that should be presented as sarcasm.

Not to mention that here's the message I get:

So they wasted even MORE money? On top if being assholes? Instead of letting the kids eat what was on the tray, they threw it out and then gave them a milk and fruit? It would have been cheaper to just let them eat what they had to begin with. Fucking genius.

Oh come on. What is up with y'all who don't read the articles?

Even the poster is badly disguised fan fiction.

Oddly familiar

Jezebel, you're embarrassing yourself. Every year blogs and lazy journalists bring out the same debunked statistics, contributing to moral panic and the conflation of sexual labor under coercion with working because of choice or circumstance. Most people in the sex trade do it because they need to pay their rent, and…

Let's ignore for a moment that almost always (always?) these "trafficked" numbers are found to be wild exaggerations.

Oh dear...

In fact, most of the dire stats that are trotted out annually about the destructive effect of the Super Bowl on the fabric of our society (extreme increases in heart attacks, domestic violence, suicides, drunk driving, etc etc) have proven to be, at best, exaggerated, and, at worst, completely made up. They all sound…

Um, the victims of poor statistics?

This is not true and has been debunked so many times. This story pops up every super bowl.

Um, be careful with these types of stats. A certain kind of "rescue industry" charity/campaign org LOVES to publish these giant figures. For example, before the World Cup in Germany in 2006, they were saying that some crazy giant six figure number would be "trafficked".
