I think he’s a crappy actor. I also think Tim Burton is a crappy director who makes really boring, pretentious movies. Helena Bonham Carter also sucks. Just a miserably untalented group of people.

Like misdemeanor rape vs felony rape? Interesting

I’m not 100% sure how I feel about it. I would never consent to sex with someone I met online, and I sure as fuck would never wear a blindfold... So... It’s very hard for me to apply any type of “what would a reasonable person think” logic to my assessment of that case. I think she made a very foolish sexual choice,…

Courtney Love grosses me out. Always has. Even back when she was “cool”

Yes. That is clearly a rape. And the guy belongs in prison.

I respect your views. Thank you for sharing them with me.

Rape is so serious, that we should only accuse people of rape when it’s definitely rape. Someone lying for sex makes them an asshole, but definitely not a criminal. I would like to retain my right to be a bitch, and I’m willing to protect a guy’s right to be an asshole. The idea that someone can retroactively rescind…

Yes. I see. Those are both certainly very rapey rapes where someone deserves to go to prison. As long as we are distinguishing between that, and just lying for sex.

If person A tells person B that they earn x amount of money every year, but they really earn y amount of money, and person B consents to sex based on their belief that person A makes x amount of money... Was person B raped?

I agree. That is absolutely rape. If THAT is the situation “rape by deception” is describing, than by all means.

So, if someone tells abother person that they make a six figure salary (when in reality they work at Wegmans), and then the two people have sex, you feel like that is an act of rape?

Umm... It’s a weird story.

no. Not at all what I am saying. I’m saying that we dilude the meaning of incredibly serious words like rape when we apply them to things like lying to people in order to sleep with them.

Of course. But not all sympathy is equal. Not everyone belongs on the same stage.

I’m sorry wisht, I can’t get behind this. Rape by deception?! No. No no no.

I would say it is both rape AND theft of services. In addition to all of the criminal penalties associated with a rape conviction, the offender should also have to pay for the services, AND for any damage to the woman’s sex organs, seeing as how he not only caused her inconcievable emotional harm, but also damaged her…

In high school, when we were feeling edgy back in the day, we’d go smoke hookah at 7 corners! Aladdins and Oasis. Incidently, they both had very good turkish coffee, humas and falafal.

I keep telling people, Fairfax is a cultural experience. Especially when it comes to food. Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian, Salvadorian, Korean... You name it, they have it. Now I’m hungry...

These comments are very interesting. Let’s clear something up.

I’m sorry Lynx... It’s way different. The United States is not a perfect place for women by any means, but it is way the fuck better for women than India.
