In my experience at the Naval Academy, we were taught every thing you listed about rape. Consensual contact with female midshipmen was forbidden in most cases. We were aware. More aware than our counterparts at regular university, I'd guess.

When I was a midshipmen at USNA, sexual assault and awareness was beaten into our heads constantly. Really, I think they do a better job of training for it than most schools. I'm sure that this happens at other universities at an equal or higher rate. Here, however, if the sex was not, in fact, consensual the women…

I think you have been polite and think you've been treated unfairly. I just posted something that I'm expecting will not get a warm reception but. . .we;ll see.

When I was a midshipmen at the Naval Academy, I woke up in my rack (bed, for non military types) to a female mid naked on top of me (I was in my regular sleeping gear: mesh PE shorts and a blue rim) trying to have sex or something with me. What is that called?

There are a lot of things about this that are troubling here. In her testimony, she claims that she waited 5 months to come forward and it wasn't until a friend insisted that she formally reported it. If someone doesn't want to expose themselves to the pain of a rape investigation and trial, shouldn't that be their…

Is it me, or does $100k not seem like much money in the world of "first celeb baby pics." I thought $1MM was at least de rigeur. If everyone's getting in the millions and you're only offered $100k and you're already really wealthy, you're really a whore. I get that she's probably only doing to remain relevant but then…

Use a knock-knock joke, a really bad knock-knock joke that nobody understands and most people thinks offends the jury at the very opening of your opening statement in one of the highest profile and polarizing legal cases in decades, have your co-counsel visibly cringe several times while you were addressing the court…

What percentage of people who die receive "costly end-of-life care?" Does treating a quadriplegic injured from a drunk driving accident for 5 years count as "end of life care"? Or does that go on my ledger?

And males are more likely to engage in other high risk behaviors that result in hospitalizations, like shootings and stabbings and fighting and any of that stuff you've seen on Jackass or other MTV shows.

Wait, dude here. I don't think this adds up from an economic perspective. Men engage in much higher risk behaviors that result in more costly medical services related to car accidents, shootings, hospitalizations, etc. If they don't more than offset the costs the author is pointing out the shared risk related to…

He comes off not too bad here. Definitely pick up that he's not down with Kris. Body language. I don't get that she doesn't like him though. He's actually super famous for a real talent. She has to whore out her entire family in pursuit of what he's got. . .

I'm kinda skeptical about that. In a perfect world, I agree with you, but I feel like when it comes to social and political issues Freakanomics sorta rules the day. Look at the Tea Party. This business just shot to the top of EvangelicalYelp searches for: photographer.

I was kinda wondering the same things? I was considering suggesting that he'd probably get some negative attention from classmates, etc but felt too sheepish about posting feeling that seemed a little inappropriate - if only b/c of the Burlesque dancers.

What's the bit Harry referenced about Bill's mom?

Did you have to drink before experiment/taste test?

Whatever happens to this guy, he's giving a clinic on saying the right things after a scandal. What he said/did is unforgivable but I'm rooting for him now. I realize that the hiatus was probably a PR move by Eagles but his statement sounded really authentic, as was his meeting with reporters and his tweet immediately…

Filner has a weird vacant look in his eyes. Something seems off but I don't know what he was like before scandal.

And, also, waiting for his Proactiv commercial debut.

Why in God's name he and his family would invite this scrutiny is beyond me. Do the redemption piece, fine. But why give the kid booze so publicly and frequently?

Maybe the "drunk"-angle is left to reader to figure out. I definitely got the sense that writer was going to some lengths to include as many references to drinking as he could. The golf course, then the restaurant, etc. I didn't need to have it spelled out for me so explicitly.
