It wasn't REALLY a "didn't take his mic off" moment. He said it humorously before an interview started, and then joked that he hoped it wasn't being recorded.

If I recall the media chaos surrounding Swift-Kanye-VMA-gate correctly, President Obama did not really publicly call Kanye a jackass. He never made any on-the-record statement regarding his actions. I believe he was just chatting with the journalist interviewing him for a TV news segment between takes or

Plus, he made the comment during the in between moments of an interview and probably didn't think it would become a big thing.

He didn't call him a jackass in public. It was a comment the President made to someone privately. He just forgot to take his mic off.

It's a very difficult question to ask, actually, because it's very politically incorrect

I especially love (hate) this argument in the context of homosexuality. The whole "homosexuality isn't a sin, but homosexual acts are."

Side-eyeing the race part, though.

The other main problem is that MRAs just don't seem to spend much time taking an interest in men's issues. They'll trot out custody or male rape as some kind of trump card in arguments against feminism, but feminism is really the only thing that they're actually interested in. Go on any MRA site (I knew, ew) and

Well, the MRA aren't so much for equal rights than they are their own defense of privilege. Where feminism argues that both equal privilege and penalties should be given in both sexes, MRA argues that men have inherent privileges that shouldn't be withheld, and have indeed been reduced by feminism. MRA supports an

If you want to go that route, then we are no longer talking about rape, and instead you're broaching child sexual abuse. Then at which it will be decided by the court who incurred the most damages in the situation (the legal guardians of both children would be held accountable). For instance, if the girl ends up

Frankly how many Asian men and women have to tell you what you're saying is racist, sexist, asinine, offensive, and ignorant before you will believe us? I can't believe I'm actually going to try this again.

To which I insinuated was a non-issue, as rape laws tend to identify an obvious aggressor and an obvious victim. If both being under age, then neither would be the rapist on merit of being under age. If one coerced or took advantage of in the capacity that the victim was not able to soundly give consent, while both

"I didn't ask about legal."

Someone typed "logical fallacies" into Google recently... and then failed to read the whole page.

Not everyone who replies to you is interested in your "points". Most of us are just getting our kicks. "Dodger" is hilariously inadequate, as though anyone cared to have a conversation with you in the first place.

If nothing else, it proves the sheer genius of Cranston that he can play two such amazingly different characters with such skill.

All this does is reinforce my belief in Cranston being the one of the greatest actors around.

Oh well, if you say that Asians aren't less privileged then you must be right. Let me ignore my entire personal experience because some probably non-Asian dude told me so. I guess all my experiences with racism are all in my head, and I should just be grateful white people decide we're a model minority.

"Giving it up" is such a ridiculous term... though very illustrative of how our culture views women and sex. Men GET sex; women GIVE it.

I'm saying as a Asian woman that it's actually a huge pain in the ass to date, and that unless you have been in our place, you have no idea what it's like. To say that Asian women are just looking for white man because white stereotype is infuriating and infantizing. We live in a white culture. Everything we're ever
