@John_Richard_LeMar: Excellent point, and well made. But we don't refer to a gay man as "a homosexual". That's not PC bullshit, it's a reference to right wing bigots who want to reduce gay men to a clinical condition rather than an actual human being.

I'm so #fuckinstunned by the fact that this is not a typical glazy-eyed, half-assed Gawker report of a police officer doing something incorrect/unskilled/amoral (which intentionally leaves out details that make the officer's action a LOT more clear) that I am simply going to sit here, enjoy the moment, and enjoy…

@Anne McGill: Simple. Ton.

@allyzay: Being both bitter and dim is not working out very well for you, is it?

@FunParty1101: Probably.

@FunParty1101: Tee. Hee.

@Federov: Right. Lindsay can't hurt YOU, personally, which makes the way her case was handled not your problem. I get it.

@ijustwritebooks: Oh, poor you! It's ever so much more responsible to publish Lindsay's behavior as defensible because she is a woman and Sheen is a man, than it is to show the consequences of what Lindsay likes to do. Theoretical discussions of feminist theory at Smith never show things like a young lady's head…

@Federov: Sorry, but I've clearly said that they are both assholes. the problem is that Sheen shows up to court, uses the legal system and gets away with (attempted) murder. Lindsay does not care about court, does not show up, and runs around like DWI should be consequence-free. That is why she is an asshole. He…

@helechoanarquista: Funny, she got away with it a couple of times and is a high risk repeat offender, and you think it's ok because she didn't actually kill someone.

@Dancingfrog: No compromises. No exceptions. Not for Lindsay or anyone who does what she did and has a cavalier attitude towards it. Here's why: [www.cafemom.com]

The people who are going on about this being a sexist White Male Privilege issue and whining that poor sad Linds is being persecuted unjustly are ignoring something.

@Dancingfrog: [www.cafemom.com]

@Mekklesack: Yes.

@Mekklesack: What the FUCK are you talking about?

@scarletwoman: OMG I'm so glad you cleared up that it wasn't an imperative! That might have been triggering! An exercise of White Female Privilege! A ... a ... rejection of babaganoush as a form of sustenance!

@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: Enjoy your perpetual victimhood. It is a delightful - though ineffective - way to deflect responsibility for one's own poor choices onto others.

@Mekklesack: Working non-stop? Really? Um, no: [en.wikipedia.org]

@Mekklesack: It can't be society's fault when you're an adult. Society is responsible when it gives you a rotten start, but sooner or later a person figures out that "when I do X, Y happens".

@andregwest: Does it sound like I'm defending Sheen - or as though I think his behavior is acceptable? Um, no.
