Plead guilty to something other than murder =/= convicted or guilty of murder.

Just out of curiosity... how long should we labor on about Lewis' guilt for a crime he was never convicted of? I mean I know this Deadspin guy can't stop bringing it up, but why are we supposed to act as though Ray Lewis killed someone when he was never convicted of killing someone? If I had a friend who killed…

"Niceness, they make clear over and over again, is a mere tactic, a tool that they were promised would work to give them access to women's bodies."

A much more important question: Why the fuck is Chuck Klosterman the Ethicist?

I do remember seeing one article about the revenge site. Not sure it compares to the recent barrage of Reddit articles though.

Really? The second link is to an article about pictures sent from one private person, a young women, to a man. Not model shots with consent forms. The picture at the top of the third link sure look like gonewild or creepshot pics to me. Are they models? How do you know, there's no photo credit at the end of the…

Sure, but it is a little hard to take the criticism seriously when A) Gawker Media will post naked pictures of women who obviously don't want their pictures posted... as long as those women are celebrities. B) Their only target ever seems to be Reddit... which, in case you didn't know, is one of their main competitors…

I'd also like to point out that, in its battle against American Apparel, Jezebel and Gawker took every chance they could to head an article with pictures of very young, barely clothed women supplied by the very people they were hating on.

If the users want to go someplace else because of the objectionable content then that is their choice. I encourage them to make it. That would probably change Reddit's mind pretty quick. But to argue that only Reddit must police themselves on top of the actual policing that police do is ridiculous.

"Or something along those line." I'd like slightly more precision in the censorship rules than that.

So Reddit should hire people to police their site and seek out this negative material and get rid of it? Katie J.M. Baker, do you police your own neighborhood looking for objectionable things happening in it, or do you leave that us to the actual police. If you don't do it yourself then what is wrong with you? Why are…

That's odd, I studied it for a long time.

My point, which you missed, is that your questions are ridiculous. We first have to admit we want to do something about the problem AND THEN draw lines that we think will fix it. And we can draw lines. We do draw lines. So asking

"The doctors are responding to an unintended consequence of the success of in vitro fertilization — that it is often too successful. Since 1980, when the technique became available in the United States, the rate of twins in all births has climbed 70 percent, to 3.2 percent of births in 2004.

I'm Canadian, I can't vote in America.

Its not tainted by views about genetic material. We could, as a suggestion, stop pushing to increase the age at which women and men can reproduce. We could let biology take its course instead of working to let women who are 50 or 60 have kids. Or we could not. Smallest ice caps ever in the arctic this year, just so…

"Why do we continue to treat the elderly, try to extend their life spans, and try to increase the functionality they have in their retirement ages? Why do we treat any illness or disease? Why do we thwart nature's attempt to kill us all off when we are past our reproductive prime?"

Hand wringing... how horrible... thinking things through before acting on them, asking other people people what they think, asking them if they have any solutions to a problem... what an inhuman monster I am. Have fun at your pity party, sorry I was so very very mean to you with my not doing anything.

Non sequitur.

I didn't even imply that no one should intentionally have kids.
