There are two rules for the 1st Amendment: It "prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a…

So let me get this straight...this high school principal believes the 1st Amendment obligates the school newspaper to print a racial slur instead of an abbreviated form of that word, but does not protect the newspaper's decision to make a choice in which word they print? Dafuck? Do any of these assholes understand how…

What a bizarre reaction (I hesitate to call it overreaction - because that implies a negative reaction was warranted). Why, given the concerns of multiple students and faculty members, wouldn't ol' Bobby McGee even consider changing the team name? And moreover, if their refusal to use the R word is somehow an attack…

I wonder if his ass gets jealous of all the shit coming out of his mouth?

I like to point out that if everyone had the same level of IT knowledge as them then they would be out of a job.

And invading your house to do it? In a lot of states, the nephew would have been legally justified in shooting her dead.

This argument is meaningless unless what you actually are advocating is "let's tie employers' hands and legally prevent them from firing employees who commit domestic violence", because these employers are firing these assholes out of self-interest.

Hear hear! The dark times are gone EDIT: GOD, I thought goatze was recent...jesus, how time flies.

shit, it shouldn't even be honorary imo. it should "count", so to speak. TUFTS should be expelled from tufts. they are the real failures.

I favor a real discussion on the topic and a realization that violence against others, regardless of relationship, is to be discouraged in our celebrities, of which professional athletes certainly rate.

Both situations are similar and, in fact, equivalent. Hitting/abusing someone who is a family member.

Yup, probably that.

Families argue... When families physically fight, it is called "domestic violence." That's exactly part of the definition. Some incidences are more egregious than others, but none should be deemed acceptable.

And to me, this case doesn't seem too grey. She is a grown woman who also happens to be quite strong arrested…

Erin, you're going to confuse the MRAs.

Can you be specific about how it's different? And explain the moral calculus that says it's ok for families to smack each other around?

And your point about Solo is?

If that is the only thing you took away from this, it's safe to say that you have no idea what you're talking about.

It's really tiresome to have first graders wander into adult conversation to tell us all about what a word really means by reciting the truncated definition that came off the spelling assignment for the week. There's actually an alternative word to homophobia that better captures the issue presented, but the fact that…

Just to add on, things she could have said:
