Because having a disease shouldn’t be a crime. If those other guys didn’t want to get HIV, they shouldn’t have been having unprotected sex with random guys they met off the internet (at least not without being on PREP). Laws like these put all the onus of responsible behavior on the person with HIV, discourage testing…

And McCartney ruined the Thriller album.

John Lennon was a neglectful father, a spousal abuser, a reductive political thinker, and all around douchebag... but yeah, I agree with you there.

“Wonderful Christmastime” is proof to me that Chapman shot the wrong Beatle.

I’m sorry you’re not interested in having a civil discussion of this. How disappointing.

Jesus Christ, why do I get the sense you don’t know shit about victims of domestic abuse. No one is treating them like a child. No one is examining them against their will. It feels like you’re exaggerating this simply to have something to get pissy and sarcastic about. Or your trolling for funsies.

You’re making a lot of assumptions that the stylists are terrible people who will just run around talking shit on their clients. Any decent person/smart business person won’t do something like that.

Ya got me. I’m a creepy monster who goes around asking EVERYONE to spill their business! And then I cackle like a witch!

Mandatory reporters exist outside just the realm of children. I’m in the military and if I tell my supervisor that I was raped or abused, he’s legally obliged to report that.

Which is why hairdressers won’t be mandated reporters, but will rather be given the tools to initiate conversations that women might not start on their own.

Cho has made herself one of the main voices of this debate and was publicly criticizing the movie and Swinton. If someone does that, they can’t then claim that if someone wants to talk about it with them that they are being turned to as the only Asian in the room. She has set herself up as an expert on this issue for…

1. Will I ever afford retirement or will I work until I’m dead? The odds are pretty good that we’ll all be dead within a decade.

I would guess the salesclerks suffer punishment just for being on duty and trying to help her.

You take that back. Jack Chick was a satirical genius I tells ya. Unappreciated in his time.

I actually think it will take a while for all the Orange shit to get into motion, so I don’t expect the country to be irretrievably destroyed until end of 2018/beginning of 2019 or so.

Not really.

Well, victims rights groups oppose the death penalty for child rape because if you face the same penalty for rape as for rape and murder why would you leave a living victim to testify against you?

I’m not , but you need to be clear that

Well, for one thing, no matter how horrible they are, they are still human. How we treat our worst says a lot about who we are.

If one can be certain, then sure. But too often the police and prosecutors have picked someone completely innocent so they can ‘solve’ a horrific case and put the public concerns at rest, get re-elected, and maybe get their picture in the paper. They don’t always truly want to solve the crime or punish the guilty.
