No. I think the problem is that in the interest of having a short, catchy phrase to use as a rallying cry that “Believe the victim” isn’t really what is meant. Just like when people say Black Lives Matter it doesn’t literally mean that ONLY black lives matter to the exclusion of all others. It is highlighting an area…

So how does “believe, then investigate” work when the second you start posing questions you’re accused of being a rape apologist — or worse?

Rape accusers should always be believed until it is proven not true.

This one sucked all around to read. But, this case remains a good example of why I’m extremely skeptical of the “Believe every accusation made and never question anything” modern progressive stance on sexual assault allegations. Erdely followed that theory to a T. It’s just ripe for unscrupulous people to take…

How could I think it was OK to spend five minutes having a peaceful conversation with someone with different views?

My heart bleeds for these parents. They lost their children in the most horrific way imaginable and despite the blame that so many have in this, noone will be held responsible. I understand the judges logic here. It’s the same as trying to hold Ford responsible for an unsafe driver plowing thru a crowd. The car isn’t…

Let’s split the difference and agree that the flight attendant is an idiot without insulting people based on their professions.

You know, I’m gonna say something I think we all need to remember. It’s good to have an adversary, and better to have a worthy one.

I wondered this too (was it one of those awkward, what do i say to this terrible person, moments?) but John Oliver had a series of clips of him and Trump being gross together repeatedly....so I’m going with he’s actually that gross too.

It’s the way he peer pressures her to hug them that grosses me out.

And the fact they were talking about his coworker. This wasn’t some random woman. Objectifying women is never okay but even worse when it’s someone you know.

Yeah. . .I think my rage went up around the point where Bush referred to Arienne Zucker as “it”. . . .like, “it’s legs” (something along those lines)

You know, the one good thing about this election is that it has made it very, very easy to spot the racists and perverts since they’re basically walking around with placards declaring their repugnance.

My partner has orthorexia - he’s doing better now, no longer dangerously underweight - and the most horrible part of it was convincing him to eat stuff he considered “unhealthy”. It was really confronting and horrible to be trying to insist that he eat red meat, when he’s in tears and telling me that it would kill…

No. Listen, if this was a guy people would be calling for lengthy prison time, and rightfully so. Same thing for her. Unless she was delusional she knew children under 1 are not supposed to live on just fruit and nuts.

There sure are a lot of comments here from people who haven’t watched the show.

This might shock you but the only thing seperating humans and robots today is memory and the ability to access it to adjust their actions.

“I’m doing a Day of the Dead project and showing it at Day of the Dead festivals. How can I promote that when the head of Oculus is giving money [to support] Trump - and Trump wants people in my community to be deported?”

I see what you did there. I like it.
