That is a speciesist response though. I know I’m in the minority, but I truly don’t understand why we privilege human lives over all others. I get that the decision had to be made, but I think this animal’s life and death are all tragic examples of human hubris.

All Rainn Wilson said is that he’s pissed that shooting-killings of animals draw more press and sympathy than shooting-killings of people. So instead of writing faux-outrage ad hominems, understand that this zoo shooting death and human shooting deaths are both substantively but not equally tragic.

Doesn’t it sort of suggest self-lameness? As in, I am not the party — the party is next door? Also, that you haven’t been invited to the party next door, if you are telling people where said party is? I may be overthinking this.

PartyNextDoor?

I would imagine the French probably aren’t crazy about him either, because after living there for about 15 years he still refused to become a citizen, because he didn’t want to pay taxes there as well as in the U.S. And then he left Vanessa Paradis, one of the country’s most beloved icons since her childhood.

I read an interview once with a guy who runs men’s behaviour change programs. He said that without fail they would come in blaming their partner, saying “She just kept pushing my buttons and I lost control of my temper, I couldn’t help it.” And he would ask “So this anger problem that you have, do you ever get really…

It’ll be so easy to do damage control. Just send him to more hospitals to visit children with cancer dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow and done! Look, would a woman beater do that? Of course not. But let’s talk about Amber’s bohemian lesbian lovers and how much spousal support she was seeking, the money hungry whore.

Amber’s career is OVER. Johnny’s bros are all over Disney, Warner Brothers... Watch as they save his career while hers sustains the biggest damage. The court of public opinion already labeled her a whore, lesbian, sugar baby, gold digger, Gone Girl, opportunist, etc.

He is such a fucking idiot. Abusers are charming, social, friendly, popular. Ask Oscar Pistorius, Mel Gibson back in his good old days, Charlie Sheen.

People with a cruel side to their personality often have developed a game face they wear when in public. Most acquaintances take the synthetic game face at, well, face value and “can’t imagine” them behaving badly in private. But the charming, confident game face is fake. Sociopaths are especially good at this.

I recommend or give The Gift of Fear to all the women I know (who I haven’t already inflicted it on). It’s a good reminder.

Good for you. I think it was Maya Angelou who said “when someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

I just hope fucking Tim Burton keeps the little ounce of dignity in him and don’t try to make up apologies and defence for Johnny, even if they’re tight.

The only downside for both women is that, being older, if they were to come out and back up Heard, it would be spun (by Depp’s people) as two aging women desperately trying to make themselves relevant again to restart their careers. It’s bullshit, of course, but remember that it takes 50+ victims to equal the denials…

And now Mickey Rourke is defending Depp. Mickey FUCKING Rourke. Jesus fuck, it’s like the 80's decided to have the people who were famous then decide to say, “oh I’m sure my violent ass saying Depp is a good person will make people totally believe the story.”

Yeah, there’s who I want backing me up as a not drug-and-alcohol addled violent creep: Mickey fucking Rourke!!

I read Gavin de Becker’s “Gift of Fear” a few months later, and it literally changed my life.

It takes balls to stand up to one of Hollywood’s megastars.

If my husband smacked me in the face, having some lady time with my close friends the next day is EXACTLY what I’d be doing. This pic is proving practically the opposite of what Johnny thinks it proves.

I love that she is using her experience to comment and constructively criticize the rape culture we have all around us. She is SO bright and thoughtful, and I really am inspired by the way she took something so terrible in her life and is using it to help other people. I believe she can make a difference in the way…
