Good defense attorneys generally don’t lead with “yep, he did it”.

It was somewhere between nothing and rape.

They went on a hike, he hit her, she fell and hit her head, or fell down a ravine. He’s guilty, and he can’t bring her out of the ravine (a limp human body is harder to move than an equivalent weighted sack). He realizes if he survives, it’s jail. Finishes the job on the girlfriend, shoots himself because fuck it you…

Who was that gave Lil Kim’s boob a jiggle onstage? Janet Jackson?

I like the bar for a first date.

Tough crowd. Has anyone else accepted even an ounce of culpability? Has anyone else done more to include themselves?

I frequently wonder why people assume they were drugged if they’ve blacked out. Sometimes you just have an extreme reaction to alcohol. I’m a bigger guy - 200 lbs - and while normally I can handle a decently moderate amount of alcohol, I do recall vividly a time I was world-spinning, could barely walk/talk right,…

The backlash was kinda lame (although, when the President of the United States of America recreates your famous pose with you, that’s a pretty strong rebuke of the backlash), it’s part of the code of sports: We don’t like sore losers. It’s like knightly dueling in the modern age - there’s a performance of manners…

Well, let’s not proactive define her as a fundamental victim - there’s no real conflict between being proud/poised/well performing/upset/disappointed etc and having been abused. I don’t think we’re doing any favors to her or others by placing their victimhood before their personhood. We don’t do that for men; when…

The problem is that to be competitive, you need a lifetime of training. And these abuses don’t happen AT the olympics - they occur in training, back in home gyms, the other 46 months of the Olympic Cycle. There’s no eliminating training and practice, and in what is actually a pretty dangerous sport, you can never…

If Nassar’s smart, he’ll eat all the charges like Wee-Bay did. At least get yourself a chicken sandwich out of the deal or something.

~”She’s warped in the head”.

That being said, a good friend of mine had a girlfriend who was great, but I don’t never found especially attractive. Different tastes. Anyhow, she learned how to pole dance.

The Olympics doesn’t need more subjective sports that no one will really watch except during the Olympics (at least, in the competitive sense, people watch pole dancing 24/7/365). Like, don’t most athletes in figure skating / ski jump / rhythmic gymnastics kind of hate the olympic cycle?

Yeah, hard to know without hearing the sound, but if he’s not severely injured (say, an MCL sprain), I won’t be surprised.

This leads me to suspect he’s talking about some other poster? Like you say, there can be no “divided opinion” on this one, and it’s so incredibly galling that someone would try to say so - and not just a dry dick rando on the net - a person with a name and a position - that it simply can’t be true. Right? Right??

I’m fairly sensitive to free speech issues, but I think advocating that people commit suicide does not/should not be protected in that way. What is the CSU president thinking? I COMPLETELY understand the backlash to hyper-pc-isms on campus - but if no one will admit to putting the poster up (and god help them if they…

Shocker.

I was under the impression the Caspian Sea was a glorified nalgene bottle left at the bottom of a dry gully.

The jokes on them, the Caspian Sea doesn’t exist anymore!
