So much this!

My dead father was a racist shithead, but no, none of my relatives owned slaves, because none of them got to the US until the 20th century. Supporting segregation - entirely possible, in fact, for my father, even probable. I couldn’t say about my mother’s family, who were Holocaust refugees who got here just barely…

I live in DC, and my car (not a BMW) looks like crap because people hit you while parking all the time. The car wasn’t even 2 weeks old when someone sideswiped it while parallel parking. However, I would not under any circumstance destroy someone’s property.

The level of pompous assitude oozing from Mr. Fartman’s pen just knocks me over. And seriously, unless you are still nibbling or dunking bread or something from that plate, who wants a bunch of dirty plates cluttering the table?

I think about the contrast between this and music - The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” which had a small sample of a Rolling Stones song in it. They negotiated and had permission to use it, but after the song became a hit, the copyright holder sued claiming they used a larger sample than permitted, which they deny.…

I’ve never worked in a restaurant and even I know that’s wrong. Lots of restaurants have a time cut off for when they take orders. They may be open until 11, but they won’t seat new customers until 11 or they’ll be there all night.

You can always turn down a private client. Once you START representing a client in a court case, as in filing notice in court that you are their lawyer, getting out is harder, because you need court permission.

Someone should slice off this vet’s junk, stuff it in his mouth and sew his mouth shut.

She’s right. We absolutely need this. Court decisions and legislation can be changed and undone all too easily, while a constitutional amendment, once passed, is fucking HARD to undo. But I’m not optimistic that we’ll get far with this Congress on this.

Yeah, but it sucks that he’s trying to save his reputation by ruining the reputation of the women he assaulted.

Like, for example, a child molester once wanted to hire us to defend him. He was guilty. We declined the case, even though he could pay.

If you have the money to pay the fees and expenses, you can find a lawyer to represent you. He has the money, so he has a lawyer.

You must have been hiding under a rock for the last few days, Fox News, Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, and a bunch of others either called it an attack on religious freedom or claimed that the motive for the attack was “unclear” or “unknown.” Google is your friend.

I like it, I like it.

Magic markers and a pillowcase, voila! Instant confederate flag.

You don’t need an opening to transmit it. An opening increases the risk, but it isn’t required. Heterosexual intercourse is the commonest form of transmission. It isn’t the highest risk activity, but there’s no higher source of infection in the world. Admittedly the numbers are 8 infections per 10,000 unprotected sex…

You need to read up on HIV/AIDS. It is totally spread by PIV sex as well as anal sex - not to mention oral sex and sharing needles.

Nope. Nice try, but it sounds more like an alien than a pleasurable activity.
