I always see it as the need to control others. Leftovers of religion as the dominant political system.

Exactly. "I don't want to bake/decorate a cake for you because you are x, but I will make the exact same cake for non-x people" is different than "I don't want to bake/decorate a cake with x message".

Saw her perform with Patty Schemel at a movie theater in NYC after the screening of Hit So Hard, it was pretty magic. She seemed totally fine in front of a small crowd.

Milo, amazing Milo- thank you.

There is nothing here to do with morals! Particularly when people are murdered over drawings. I'm sorry but that is NOT "moral" to declare speech should be limited over the threat of death.

Exactly- criticize it, don't kill the people who drew it.

There is a really touching and tragic backstory to Guardians, regarding the creator Bill Mantlo.

You are very right that the brass has in the past and can continue to ignore assaults. Which is exactly why we need to pass MJIA.

Freindship4u2 is in lala land. You don't have to go through the CoC to make an unrestricted report- but it will eventually make its way to the CoC and they can ensure the case doesn't go anywhere. Go to SAPRO and read the reports. Listen to victims actual, first hand accounts. Look at sexualassault.army.mil

You can't just "go around" your chain of command. The CoC controls the process. I'm basing this on actual sexual assaults, not your seemingly theoretical what is "supposed" to happen. Because in the real world the CoC can impede or stop an investigation. You also don't seem to understand the difference in the recent…

You are still confused, poor thing! But I guess ignoring the facts is easier? Also, please don't rely to me again, unless of course you discover a fact or two. I'll settle for just one fact though. ;)

you seem confused! The argument is to remove the chain of command from the military criminal trial process, in part because servicemembers do not have access to civil litigation. For colleges it is to strengthen the administrative punishment process- which is different from the criminal justice system, and the civil…

Not true! You can attempt to have a case investigated, but there is no guarantee and the chain of command can also decline to prosecute. The newest changes make this less likely, but still possible- which is exactly why people are trying to pass MJIA. Also, if the rape occurred prior to all the recent changes it was…

It says "How Obama Has Ignored"?

Bhagwati is right - which isn't surprising since she and SWAN have been one of the most persistent voices on this issue, thankfully. The lack of change on this issue can be traced DIRECTLY to the office of the President, Supreme Court (Feres Doctrine) and legislative inaction (Federal Tort Claims Act and lack of…

Except he is also the Commander in Chief, unlike most people.

I saw it! It was very, very good. Very beautiful. Full of questions and places to make it your own.

true- the DNA could just be from the shot, and the gun residue just from proximity. We do only have one side's account.

and Wilson is the one who pulled his car up to Brown, and likely grabbed him to pull him towards the car, and likely caused fear in Brown that Wilson would shoot Brown, which could easily suggest Brown only reached for the gun once Wilson began to menace Brown with it....

Look how much higher Stephanopoulos's chair is than Wilson's chair- in order to make them look of more equal size.
