So when a powerful/charismatic man sleeps with a woman, it's presumed to be rape? That is a ridiculous argument that denies women agency or responsibility for their decisions to consent to sex (as long as they do in fact consent). Given that MLK had government spies and wiretaps on him, him actually raping someone…

Bingo.

No, they say that on the first page, right under the quote you posted.

From the VICE article: "Some eschew modernity entirely; others live in insular worlds but allow cars, TVs, cell phones and varied dress. Many live among, and are virtually indistinguishable from, the rest of society."

The article was not about the history of the Mennonites. It was about communal violence affecting a particular Mennonite community in Bolivia.

Okay cool.

Err, she was just summarizing a well-researched and documented article. Are you implying that the VICE article was sensationalized?

I think the show's meant to be about her being single and dating. So that suggests she is over it and just having fun.

Uhhh. I support gay people. Uhh, unless they leak our country's war crimes. Uhh, in which case, you know, I support torturing them. Uhhh, yes we can!

In Louisiana, you only need one prior possession charge to get a felony possession charge, and the amount that you're holding doesn't matter. Plus, if you're poor and can't afford bail (and no one just gets to walk in LA), you wait, at a minimum 3-6 in jail, losing your job/housing in the mean time.

Those t-shirt's were reinforcing bad messaging about gender stereotypes, insulting women really.

Reminds me of Mr. G's hit:

WOOOSHHHH

Or bumbling, sadface villains — see the movie Magnolia.

Umm, well, you should know that the rest of the United States does act in similar ways as there's tons of evidence of it (reports of untested rape kits, reports of unprosecuted rape against prisoners). But, by all means, continue to make yourself feel better by denigrating that one city as an outlier and evil place.

This is so dismissive and cruel to the people that live in Steubenville. As if what happened in their community is the worst thing to have happened this year (cops were revealed to be crooked but perpetrators were brought to justice). Hell, just today a man was convicted for revealing the war crimes of the U.S. (an…

Again, you don't think other communities act in similar ways, particularly when it comes to rape cases. For an example of that, just look at the number of untested rape kits across the country. Or just look at the number of prison rapes (guard on prisoner) that go completely unpunished because of community attitudes.…

Because every other city in the U.S. has absolutely no problems with their criminal justice systems.

No you misunderstand my point. I just don't believe that having consensual sex is a negative thing. It's not a "loss" so to speak, unless you believe that women lose their purity through sex, which is a religious idea. Yes, STI's and unwanted pregnancies result from unprotected sex. But if you're practicing safe…

I know. The comments here and on Slate make me want to break out Foucault, no joke.
