Takes a brave man to wear those little shorts. A real American hero.

I forgot what we were talking about but here are all the stars in the world for that cupcake, minus one because it isn't in my hand right now.

I doubt this will be a precedent-setting case in terms of the way private organizations handle their hearings process. That mechanism, and the way courts treat it, is pretty well-established in education and employment cases. The idea is, basically, private organizations can set their own membership rules (with…

True! And yet we tend to classify him as gay, same as with Freddie Mercury.

Your friend Molly is a comedic/marketing genius. I'd only go there for the pizza, I swear!

There are plenty of Christians and people of other faiths who don't believe their faith includes the harassment of LGBTQ people. The problem isn't that Christians are oppressed. The problem is that some people hide behind their faith in an attempt to excuse their hate speech. Back in the day, plenty of so-called…

Between this sort of thread (and the Adam Lanza conversation) on the one hand, and the whole anti-vax movement treating autism like it's worse for your kid to have that than to die of measles, you must be exhausted — because a lot of the time, the hardest and most exhausting thing about ASDs isn't the disorders…

Not as defined from his own moral compass, as defined from society's. Otherwise anyone could just use whatever elaborate justification they had for committing a crime and claim the insanity defense.

Protip: start a conversation with someone you find attractive. Just have a conversation — and see if the two of you click in a conversational way. Don't approach someone who is reading, listening to music, or using body language that indicates she doesn't want to talk to anyone. Don't keep talking to someone who seems…

Whaaaat? Are you telling me that the vast, vast, VAST majority of people with Aspergers or other spectrum conditions aren't mass murderers? Next you'll tell me that they're ordinary human beings who deserve better than to be thrown under the bus by people who want to excuse Elliot Rodgers' behavior! Get outta town.

Hello! It looks like you're trying to make an argument about the law. Would you like assistance?

Yes, we must construe every part of the Constitution according to the state of the law and society at the time it was enacted! Which is why the second amendment only covers people within literal "well-regulated militias."

Ah, you're German. So part of the way you're thinking about "men = Nazi Germany" really isn't translating well for a non-German audience, it looks like. It seems unnecessarily hyperbolic, insulting to all the men out there who aren't as sexist as the average dude on Reddit (because yeah, Reddit users on average are…

There wouldn't be any reason to reach the merits of the case, though, unless they were convinced that the lower court's order was so wrong and in such a harmful way that they should overrule it immediately. Higher courts really don't bend or break procedural rules unless there's a very, very good reason to do so, and…

It's not bullshit, though. It's just...the answer to the procedural issues that were before the court. The court couldn't step into the game from the sidelines; it's a sideline issue.

You don't have to trust their judgment. Law isn't a matter of trust. You can agree or disagree with their judgment, you can make better arguments, you can choose to follow or not follow the law (and you should understand the consequences), you can lobby for change — judges, even SCOTUS Justices, aren't the Pope. We…

Everybody callllllm down. This isn't directly about same sex marriage, it's about the rules of the game of litigation. A court cannot rule on an issue that is not before it. The issue of the constitutionality or unconstitutionality of either statute was not before the Arkansas supreme court. All they could rule on was…

It's obviously not her. It's a ganger. Fleshy goo pretending to be our Amy >:(

We only allow rape-rape. Actual rape. The kind where the female body shuts that whole thing down.
