This is absurd, but it is the same kind of logic applied to justify many of these shootings. The law of justification has never embraced the idea that someone taking an action that could conceivably lead to deadly force being used against you allows you to use deadly force. If that were true, police could shoot anyone…

It’s really not that hard a debate. Speech is speech. You have the right to free speech. Once you call something treatment and administer it as a professional, it is no longer just speech (even if the treatment involves you making words with your mouth). It’s proper to prohibit harmful treatments. It’s proper to…
That's too simplistic a narrative about police officers. There aren't just good and bad cops. Obviously, there are some thoroughly bad cops.
Actually, both men served in the Coast Guard. Guess how many stories mention that the victim served compared to those mentioning the murderer served?
I'm glad you cherish your right to question how other people dress. A great way to spend your time. And good made up story about the hazards of wearing crosses in a noncontact sport.
I don't know what the weather was a week ago in Guiyang, but it's 56 degrees there now. So, I doubt heat stroke was a big issue for a trained runner from Egypt.
Because if the "goddamn customer" gets ill halfway between Honolulu and San Jose, the problem may create an issue for the whole plane? In this case, there didn't seem to be a good reason for keeping her off the plane, but a wholesale policy of "let everybody fly if they feel like it regardless of their medical…
I'm glad that this woman gets to do what she evidently wants to do (run). I have no idea whether she does or does not want to wear traditional dress while doing it. I'd rather celebrate that she gets to do something she wants to do than guess about whether she does or doesn't want to wear traditional dress.
Definitely, the way to empower women and help them feel powerful is to tell them what to wear.
174,995 are North Korean spambots to make him feel important, though.
Perhaps she is making the philosophical point that I don’t, actually, know what it’s like to be 17 anymore. I only know what it’s like to be a 30-something with fractured, selective recollections of what it was like to be 17. Which is actually quite a bit different from being 17.
Swine flu was the worst.
All things considered, a tuchus was one of the less sensitive things that could have encountered that wine glass!
It is so important to remember to swim across the riptide, parallel to the beach, but so very difficult to remember when you start swimming harder and the beach is getting farther away OH GOD I'M GOING OUT TO SEA TO DROWN.
Clearly we need "Ask a Clean Person: How to Clean and Disinfect a Whole Goddamn Airplane Before Takeoff."
Good job assuming Reno has no basic grasp on sanitation.
It’s not at all over, but I do think the increased attention to police shootings (and increased availability of video) has led to a higher level of accountability.
I’ve flown through Frankfurt, but by far the most confusing, annoying experience I’ve had was Toronto. Getting in at one terminal, picking up your baggage, trying to get it to the next terminal, taking a stupid tram to another terminal. What a hectic mess.
Midway has the aesthetic appeal of a 1970’s junior high school, but it’s terribly convenient from central Chicago.
