I agree totally. Perhaps I should have been more specific. I am not saying we should assume that the victim is lying, just that we should weigh their assertions in congress with everything else that we know regarding the matter. In this instance, as you say, her narrative is quite well substantiated. My question was…

Absolutely. I agree, but i think a lot of people would become uncomfortable over the manner in which premiums would manifest. Say we have 'firearm insurance' for the purposes of covering any civil liabilities arising from the ownership of a firearm, purchasing this from an insurer should subject you to background…

Oh wow! I had another friend briefly mention this, and I spent some time to expand into a somewhat cogent policy framework. The biggest pitfall I saw was that the actuarial process would probably end up discriminating heavily against lower income and minority groups. Owning firearms would become a much more expensive…

Please do. I'd love to hear your thoughts. The community sometimes chalks it up to not being able to deal with their loss of privilege, but that seems terribly glib.

Why is there a moral imperative to believe the victim? I absolutely agree that there is a systematic culture of rape that victimises women. I'm not sure that not believing the victim is necessarily part of that though.

Also, assuming there is a body, you can conclusively only say that a death occurred.

hmm.. the biggest IRL factor i can think of that i havent ever noticed on porn is asymmetric labia. and i guess they are usually shaved or detailed in porn. apart from these.. I cant think of any major variations that are not represented in porn. then again ive seen only a handful..

Thank you.. i'll put it with the other Fox News flashes

Vegetarians dont eat animals. Their beliefs are quite disparate.

No. Actually (s)he is arguing that each one in that tiny number of men is as important as any one of that vast majority of women. I'm ambivalent on the matter, but just thought this seems a more likely reading of his sentiments.

there is only one person quoted in the article.. "these morons" ??

examinations are a means of testing your ability within various constraints. sometimes time is one of them too. its not an entirely useless metric.

I dont see where the approach was being praised.. this was just a hypothesis offered to explain test performance discrepancy.

it was mildly amusing though.. =]

"Are Asian students smarter?" or something like that and I was like no...no...we just have the fear of Asian Parent in us.

A lot of the disappointed comments highlight that they are surprised and disappointed at his stance because they expected different from a POC. Unfortunately, many asian people are quite racist. Culturally, race is considered a perfectly acceptable heuristic for assessing people, in many asian cultures and it is still…

haha.. oh my god.. i couldnt help but laugh out loud reading your post. not to belittle your frustration or anything. but yea asian parents can be like that. sigh.. I wanted to read law.. (and got into really good places for that too.. LSE and King's and a couple others) but they decided I should do engineering. sigh.

wuuut. i like it. she looks stunning. the lines on the skirt part of it could be modded a little though..

I dont get the Heisenberg reference..

I hope someone of note gets you out of the greys. you're responses here have brought a lot to the table.
