Nope nope nope. HIV is no longer the death sentence it was. It is now more treatable than diabetes. Folks need to be responsible for their own sexual health. Prosecuting HIV+ people for having sex is a slippery slope — what if someone’s partner turns against them and claims they did not know? We need to STOP the witch…

It’s disputed whether he did so without their consent. He argued that he told everyone he was HIV positive. The reason the case was reversed was because the court improperly admitted a jailhouse tape where he said he was only “pretty sure” he told them.

Thank you, Neville Chamberlain.

There are moments in the day when I blissfully forget, and then the full horror of “President-elect Trump” roars back into my consciousness.

I’m starting to get sick of the nice guy Obama bs. He wasted most of his first year trying to kumbaya with the right and now he’s being nice again. Just stop! No one who hates you is changing their minds. You know this IS the apocalypse. He needs to be trying to fuck this guy up during the next 2 months. Get a special…

Democrats play by the rules, it’s our biggest weakness.

Is it a coincidence that this also falls on World Toilet Day?

I don’t know that I would automatically assume he’s mentally ill, but I also don’t see a reason to mock him. He isn’t hurting anyone. Some people just do weird things. It disturbs me that people are treating this like there is an agreed-upon and strict threshold that you can cross in going from normal to abnormal,…

Those people should have been violently ejected from the premises.

By the conclusion of Ms. Novic’s tweet saga, all my sympathy for her had evaporated as I arrived to the conclusion that she’s kind of an ass for putting this man & his eccentric doll on blast.

Yes. To me it’s a matter of practicality. If my assumption, flawed or not, leads me to behave with greater compassion, I don’t feel like it matters all that much if I’m wrong.

See my comment below re: diagnosing mental illness in massacre gunmen.

I think generally there’s less harm in erring on the side of compassion. Even people who are just ‘a little off’ can use a little kindness--it’s not easy being different.

Mmm...yeah. I hear you, but...my feeling is, if you wouldn’t mock someone for having cancer, don’t mock someone for being mentally ill.

Let’s be honest. Her writing’s about mocking the unwell uncool kid for laughs. It’s not about how ‘scared’ she is or anything like that.

Ride public transit and get over yourself, lady. There are all kinds of people out there, and...that’s fine.

At least it wasnt hot food.

She deserves to be punished, but she will be the only one. The men will get off and probably get raises.

Yes, I understand the facts. I’m saying I don’t think the situation would be the same if she weren’t female. I think her department would cover her murderous ass if she were a man. People seem to take this to mean that I don’t think she should she prosecuted. What I actually mean is that I don’t view this police…

Yeah, maybe let’s not view this young woman’s murder through the eyes of some imaginary dude who also wanted to bang her?

Man, maybe we should declare a day of mourning for Texas men who will never get to kiss on her :(

This person sounds more concerned with what men lose by her being murdered and taken out of the hook up/dating/marriage pool.
