"Queer" as an adjective has been recovered for some time. It generally means someone whose sexuality or gender behavior does not fit traditional norms, often intentionally (thus a man who is straight but just naturally effeminate would not use the term "queer" to describe himself, but a man who is straight and is…

I'd always been under the impression his was a fairly liberal guy. Guess not. Funny, when I read the headline, I couldn't tell if "politically correct fucker" was meant as an insult or a tough-guy compliment.

Thank you!

You don't want to leave anyone out, but, yeah, it gets muddled. We rival alphabet soup in terms of the letters we can now (potentially) encompass.

I've always wondered if the title Star Wars (originally The Star Wars) is referencing the Death Star specifically. It doesn't make sense, as there are not wars, not even a war, only a battle. But it makes a little more sense than a war between multiple stars—which can't be inhabited and don't have human…

Rather than focusing on the interruption, I'd like to focus on the symbolism: Trump may intrude, but his time is short, and the LGBT community will have the last word.

You're angry at me, so that makes me a "pedo apologist." Nothing I've said makes me such. Hard to see from the post I responded to that you're defending me.

So often, the powerful people in Hollywood forget about the performers who made their networks great in the first place. I'm so glad CBS is celebrating a woman who brought the network such large audiences for so many decades. I wonder if Letterman, with his Carson-like clout, is behind this. He certainly adored her.

I agree, and it's quite possible that this projected season will satisfy the people who disliked season four even less. But the majority of the cast works regularly and scheduling is tough. It's a mistake, I think, to insist the fourth season or any future ones provide the same dynamic as the first three. That simply…

Go ahead and point out where I've said the charges to be dropped. You can have no problem with the charges and still see the incident and the people involved more complexly.

She didn't just "make peace" with it, though. She says, and you can read this in the interviews, that it was wrong but it was never any big deal. She was always surprised he was even arrested.
And in any event, the punishment is not the issue for me. I don't care whether Polanski has to stay out of the country…

I am not, seriously I am not, diminishing your experience or the pain it has caused you. But Polanski wasn't your assailant, and there's the whole man's live as well as the girl herself not feeling terribly victimized by it, that mitigates turning him into the devil's son.

Why on earth is he "a flaming bag of shit" because of one incredibly awful thing he did—that in fact the person who it was done to forgives him for and does not feel hurt by? Is that the deepest level of complex though you are capable of?

Yes!

A marvelously talented woman. Thank you, Mary, for sharing your gifts with us, comic and dramatic, over the years. RIP.

It's really about people having an act to grind and not being able to get over something that happened, and they'd just better adjust to (not the same as "supporting"—I despise the man). Rather than having to virtue-signal every day that they didn't vote for him and they don't like what he's doing. It's very…

This is, in fact, my biggest worry.

It's about as relevant as whether you forgive O.J. Simpson or any other perpetrator of a crime that does not involve you. I'm sure you think it's entirely your business. I'm sure you think you are the one to judge the situation accurately. It's one of the big problems with our society, and online discussion boards…

Of course you don't see the relevance.

Look at my other comment of the subject. It's fine by me if the man is pursued for the rest of his life. I just think the whole story deserves to be told.
