It was carved out of Virginia too, so they’d have a gripe but at this point it’s been well over two centuries: I think they’re over it.

Not hard to be better than a dried dog turd.

If that’s the case, I think it’s a bit unfair to call a guy with Alzheimer’s a dumbass. 

I wouldn’t argue that the sentence isn’t ridiculous. Like I said, UK laws on this sort of stuff are out of date in many ways on this issue; this is simply a typical sentence for such abusers in the UK.

You have to understand a bit (and you’d have to go back and read a whole lot of coverage) to understand how Karolyis’ ranch where he trained the girls works. Karolyis was...well a genius in terms of gymnastics coaching, he got tiny, Soviet-occupied Romania to the silver in the Olympics before defecting the US; a…

Basically you now have “curfew hours” and are fitted with a tracking bracelet, just like house arrest in the US; if you aren’t in by curfew, you go to jail for a long sentence. In practice, this isn’t too different from US house arrest, since in the US most house arrest sentences have stipulations for work and daily…

The answer is simple: they didn’t care. Nassar and the rest of the staff brought them victories, gold medals that they could point to as proof of their accomplishments; anything that endangered that was to be ignored or delayed as long as possible. If a few young girls had to get raped for gold medals to be achieved,…

At the same time, there’s the not so small matter of “give him an inch and he’ll take a mile” with Trump.  Plus Trump will crow about how he “won”.  The fact is the smarter move is to let the government shut down happen.

Because he’s black and he’s very, very talented.  He’s seriously gotten shit on for years simply because of that.  The Daily Mail and other tabloids love to make a big deal out of every little thing he does that doesn’t make him look like a saint.

The fucked up thing about this is Sterling is one of the best English attackers, period. He should be celebrated as a national hero, instead, he gets racist bullshit thrown at him. Then again, from the country that brought us Brexit, I shouldn’t be surprised.

Wow, that’s terrible. That’w worse than coin flip that NBA finals usually are. It’s like that dude guarantees you will get to the final and lose it.

I think there’s two reasons why they’ll lose to the post on this one. First, it has already happened, to an extent. France has required that lootboxes disclose the odds and Belgium’s gambling commission has already said they are gambling. For now these requirements are relatively light and/or in their earliest stages,…

I think it’s too late to self-regulate loot boxes.  It’s one thing to fight regulation based on artistic content; most people are pretty supportive of free expression and will want pretty compelling evidence to restrict it; there’s no such support for loot boxes.  The time to self regular was a year ago when European…

I’m thinking Cuba will see us out this time around.

Is there any reason why Democrats couldn’t just unfuck things in the next session?

Just tried it, very disappointing.  Just a bunch of videos for someone named “Mini Diva”.  She is not a little person.

Unlike a lot of people accused of this stuff, he’s calling for multiple investigations...that doesn’t seem like a guy who’s guilty.

Why not? I’m not the biggest NDT fan, but up to this he seems like a solid guy.

But even as someone is very aware of these issues I’ve done this one. I’m a fairly large guy with a pretty big “wingspan” as they say, I was putting my left arm around a girl for a photo and I accidentally touched more than I should have; she told me I had, I apologized and explained I didn’t mean to. Sometimes an…
