I don't mean to brag, but I don't have to have sex with unconscious people to have sex.

"If you take your kid to see Fifty Shades of Grey, you're off your fucking rocker."

I think they probably aren't paying this guy enough, he's just so good at being Gaston.

Why don't they just put women in the cargohold with the rest of the property and be done with it?

"Hey man, why are you so upset about a serial rapist who has been getting away with it for decades and maintaining a nice shiny public image while enjoying success and wealth until now? That doesn't seem like a big deal, there must be something wrong with you! Why don't you talk about this completely unrelated topic

Everyone on here saying that "Jesus turned into a zombie anyway, LOL" is incredibly offensive. Jesus, upon Resurrection, was not a zombie. His command of speech and mastery of arcane powers means that he was a LICH.

Actually, it's extremely cool. If I were this bloke's neighbor I'd give him a big xmas hug just for doing something so awesome.

At least it didn't happen in Tennessee. The deceased would be tried and imprisoned.

Right. I don't want a prize, but also, don't basically tell me to shut up. That doesn't do anyone any good.

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

I find most of this essay very powerful. One area I wonder about is where you think good white people feel like they should be rewarded - what should good white people do then? Not delete trolls? Not be outraged? Keep the outrage to themselves? I understand the frustration of people seemingly wanting to be
