But that's an indictment of the system of collegiate 'amateurism', not John Calipari. Unless you think he should take the moral stance of simply not coaching for millions of dollars at a historically great program and become what amounts of a man-god to the Kentucky fan base. And as someone that grew up in Kentucky…

It's exasperating to hear the "love the sinner, hate sin" argument because no conception of love should include "I thoroughly reject an intrinsic part of your very being despite the fact that it harms no one." It's not love, it's not even morally good. It's reprehensible double-speak, and the rest of us don't have to…

Curry isn't close to being the defender that James is.

The irony of course being that the same government making "great strides in battling the cartels" is responsible for keeping the cartels in power by enforcing a prohibition policy that can only be described as an abject failure.

I never experienced anything between a parent, nor anything that evolved into sexual actions, but when I began entering puberty I had some attraction to one of my female cousins who I was close to. We flirted sometimes, and she would do things like start wrestling me while only in a t-shirt and underwear, but I think…

No, they should make precisely whatever cartoons they want.

Ignoring the problematic generalization you just made, the notion we should accept violence as a response to satire (even crude satire) as a "new normal" is patently absurd. It only illustrates the need for more satire, more cartoons, more speech. A lot of people over millenia and across the world fought and died to…

Pretty sure those laws against assault and murder prohibit people from beating or killing you for what you say.

I contacted Jason on Twitter to see if he had contact info so I could start a Go Fund Me page for them. I will let you know if I can so you may donate.

A couple thoughts:

Yeah, but she wrote little to nothing on that record and didn't play a single instrument. So I'm all for an actual musician winning.

I live in southeastern Michigan and my job is about 25 miles away. Half our office called in because of the snowfall yesterday, but I somehow made it to work leaving only ten minutes earlier than usual and I arrived 20 minutes before my shift starts.

They're definitely doing this because of Western interference and lingering resentment over colonialism and not because their crazy ass religious texts substantiate this sort of behavior.

Must be hard to type while clutching those pearls so tightly. And if a guy that thinks there's no difference between a space where women expect and even commercialize their sex appeal (i.e. meaning your attention is expected and welcomed) and hollering at a stranger on the street...then they're fucking beyond help…

Anybody who watches that promo video for Scientology that starred Cruise knows he lost his goddamn mind years ago.

Oh ok, got it. You never had a point in the first place.

So you're saying that denying Christ's divinity, according to Christian doctrine, means I'm NOT going to hell? Please.

They're doing so ironically. Besides, the Christian notion of Christ's love is pretty abusive (i.e. love me back or be tortured forever).

Jesus destroyed a tree because it didn't produce fruit for him on command (despite him being god and knowing that would happen since he's omniscient) Let's not pretend he was a good guy.

Most martial arts are a complete joke. A Division I wrestler could tackle any Karate black belt and snap their ankles.
