Why can’t it be both??
It’s not hard work and long hours that explain the success of diverse companies — and I have no doubt that the women who are able to make it to the top work harder and longer than the men on average. It’s the diversity itself that produces innovation and profits. Think different: the most successful companies in…
What kills me is that they admitted to drugging the girl, but with what? With the internet it IS easy to buy rohypnol or knock-out drugs, but those kind of ‘customers’ aren’t the types to test the drugs in their own chemistry sets to check if they ARE the real deal (and not some counterfeit or other chemical that…
Makes you wonder if they traveled to Croatia for the express purpose of finding victims to drug and rape.
The problem now is that they don’t appear to be particularly ashamed of what they’ve done. It’d stand to reason that since these colossal pieces of shit fail to recognize that what they did was abhorrent, they also can’t feel remorse. They’re proud of it. And every time one of these shitbags is allowed to walk free…
Also compared directly to this case here:
Australian authorities can place restrictions on passports of dual-nationality holders if they fail to pass certain good behaviour checks. If it's going to be tested on dual-nationality holders performing charity work/visiting family in the Middle East, then it should damn well be tested on those using travel to…
This story is awful on so many levels, but what’s really upsetting me most is the fact that these dudes are completely unapologetic, and yet they’re being released back into the public. They are a public safety hazard.
I’m glad you’ve brought this up. I couldn’t believe it when I read the story last week. For people who can’t access the newspaper article (paywalled), here’s a summary: https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/30724520…
OK, you’re clearly enthusiastic and I was going to let this go, but I see you’re ejaculating all over the comments with this spunk so I can’t.
I need this to stop. I need these things to stop happening. Every time I read an article like this, I feel like I’m being crushed, so I turn away, I stop coming here for awhile, I stop reading. But I know the stories are still here, still happening, one after another after another, and these are just the crimes that…
That is the worst part isn’t it? I GET why she took the money. It’s SOMETHING an admission of something as opposed to the horror of a trial that could have ended in nothing. UGH. This is really where we are, isn’t it?
Yeah I can too. I lost about ten years of my life emotionally recovering from my assault. I missed going to college at the normal time kids go to college. When I did go I already had the usual debt that one has in their late twenties. Car payment, credit card debt from emergency situations, etc and my parents spent…
This has been lots of fun (sarcasm mode, obviously) over here, because the shitbats of Australia are having to choose between losing a chance to be rape apologists or losing a chance to be racist about brown people.
Fuck Butz. He’s an asshole.
I think all of Gawker Media is being hesitant with the outing stuff nowadays.
“I respect your view,” the politician said, “patting Mr. Kierstead on the shoulder and starting to walk away.”
The Puritan Backroom is also the name of my Salem Witch Hunt-themed gay sex dungeon.
Someone commented this on the original article, but I think it bears repeating.
In January, Adelle Waldman wrote an excellent essay for the New Yorker’s Page Turner blog called “The Ideal…
