Um, you're missing my point and arguing semantics. Facts are facts, yes; they don't change. What has changed, and what isn't black-and-white, was the narrative we were given from the outset. And you know that's what I meant.

The takeaway from this article should be that real life is rarely black-and-white, once all the facts are learned. And very often when "outraged" members of the public jump on a major media story, they're far more interested in furthering their own cause, no matter how legitimate that may be, than in the actual facts…

17. The upstairs single bed that was thrown has a broken bed frame.

Man, this article makes me happy I hate eating all shellfish. Because even if they were my favorite food, I don't think I'd go through this meshugas to prepare them.

This sounds sooooo fucking hard. But I LOVE poached eggs — I always order Eggs Benedict at a diner — so I'm going to try my best. Pray for me.

To each his/her own. I can only tell you that people rave about my omelets.

This is good advice, but as a longtime perfect omelet-maker, I would add one more essential step:

Amen.

Wow. Good to know that men are not allowed to express opinions on this site. Jezebel should really add that prohibition to the masthead. By the way, I assure you that I have more than enough attention from "females in real life," given that I'm gay and spend most of my free time trying to get attention from men.

Yes, and if these guys were in fact bytanders and/or live-tweeting the crime, they should be arrested. I've said that about a dozen times in foll0w-up comments.

I agree with everything you wrote here. And for the record, I cannot bear to watch a single second of torture porn movies like "Hostel" or "Human Centipede." Everybody on this site seems to think I was defending these boys or what they said. I was not. I was merely trying to point out that we didn't yet know all the…

Hahahaha. Perfect.

I appreciate that.

Absolutely, and I missed that as well. Makes the situation entirely different. They should all be prosecuted.

Good point.

So in other words, all those dead baby jokes that circulate on elementary school playgrounds are the result of dead baby culture?

I never said nor implied "boys will be boys." If anything, my point was "people will be people," and people often use humor to deal with terrible events. And that we shouldn't assume these boys had anything to do with the rape simply because they were joking about it, no matter how heinous we (and I'm including myself…

Thank you. Exactly my point.

I just love the public lynching I've received on this site. In the future, I'll know that I'm simply not permitted to make any comment on any story involving rape. Even though I'm the most liberal, feminist, pro-woman gay man any of you will ever encounter, I still have a penis, and therefore I'm a misogynist and a…

And you're a Klansman. (Absurd, you say? No more so than you calling me a rape apologist.)
