Oh my god, this! People who have never been poor do not understand how important it often is to present themselves as well as possible, to be the
“good” poor person who is clearly “trying.” If you can scrounge up the clothes and make yourself look presentable, maybe that job will hire you, or at the very least maybe…

This is the first thing I tell anyone who expresses doubts about a woman’s rape claim. Serial predators target the disenfranchised or the isolated. They seek out women who will have trouble being believed and some get sickeningly good at it. I think once people wrap their heads around this it becomes a lot easier to…

I absolutely think Holtzclaw targeted victims he thought would be less likely to be believed.

“There was some jurors that — due to that fact [of] who these victims were –- had a hard time believing them,” Speaks said.

These are the same type of people who look at someone in a supermarket and thinks they don’t look “poor enough” to need food stamps and assumes that they’re just lazy.

I absolutely think Holtzclaw targeted victims he thought would be less likely to be believed. He preyed on poor, minority women - many of whom had some kind of criminal record - because he knew they would be less likely to come forward and he thought he would get away with it.

It was so glorious when Holtzclaw mouthed “how could you do this?” to the jury after they convicted him. He just couldn’t believe that they’d believe these women over him! I guess he found out that day that he’s not quite white enough.

“During her testimony, she became very emotional and cried. You could just see something different in her when she started talking about the rape and when it happened,” said Speaks.

My brother has schizophrenia. His life has value. I could never imagine writing something like that about him. Just FYI people, stop making psycho or schizo into a slur. Stigma is a real problem and contributes to the devaluing of the lives of people who have thought disorders.

Are all sins grounds for dismissal? Or just the sins that the administrators don’t regularly practice?

This really sucks but it’s a religious school so I can’t say I’m too surprised. Pull any and all federal funding though because this is discrimination pure and simple.

Fuck.

Bill Murray’s character is 90% one-liners.

I am going to watch this film out of spite now too. I can see having a bad reaction to the first one. It was a horrible trailer that made the movie look equally as horrible.

Whatevs. n_n

I just read an AngryMan™ comment on the trailer that said “again a trailer full of cheap one-liners and jokes. the Original was funny without trying to be funny.”

“I don’t know if it was a race thing or a lady thing but I’m mad as hell.”

Well then the rest of the world is wrong.
My first pregnancy ended at a induced labor termination at 22 weeks. Because we found out at 20 weeks there were no kidneys or lung development. How soon can you test for that? 20 weeks. That’s the first time it shows up on ultrasounds.

Since there are no exceptions for victims of rape and incest, that means if a child who was sexually abused by her father for years and it only gets out after her pregnancy is discovered after 19 weeks can’t have an abortion but will be forced to carry the child to term. Just an example. Almost all late term abortions…

Believe it or not, there are congenital conditions which cannot be tested for reliably until beyond 19 weeks. Very few women are waiting until 19 weeks to terminate because “reasons”. They aren’t doing it because the condom broke, or whatever reason pro-lifers find morally reprehensible. They’re doing it bcause…
