I had a prof in university who dealt with sex offenders for her “ real job”, with a specialization in paedophilia. She mentioned a dude who came in to her office who came in, looked her in the eye, and said he was sexually attracted to children, but it was wrong, what could he do? Buddy had a developmental disorder,…

“Young people” absolutely see a difference between 14 and 23. Non pedos do anyway. I’ve been 23, the thought of being with a 14 year old at that point (when i was engaged, and in my third year of law school, by the way) was absolutely repellent.

Of course he is playing the victim. I’m so tired of these gross people trying to get sympathy after they get caught. A lot of people go through terrible things in life and manage not to commit sexual abuse of minors or sex crimes against anyone for that matter.

What I worry about is how many other youtubers might be doing something similar. I’ve heard things about Sam Pepper and Onision, maybe a few others I forgot about. There doesn’t seem to be much regulation on the youtube celebrity world and they tend to exploit their careers off of their underage fans :( I know it’s…

I’m an archaeologist that sometimes gets called in by the U.N. for favors. I’m an adjunct classics/art history prof at a couple of colleges, thus am poor and flexible.

Yes. Bosnia. I wish every human being could see what I saw, smelled, and felt. If people realized how fragile we are amidst so-called civilization, maybe we’d be a more enlightened species.

He literally told her to say “I’m only 14!” in the videos. Jesus christ.

God. What a creep.

Fucking gross. I ALWAYS think I know how horrible human beings are, and I am always wrong. This is coming from someone who has excavated mass graves.

Or to flip the narrative around:

Is he trying to say that since he is a man, he gets to decide what lives or dies? (Implying that women don’t have that power when it comes to abortion?) Maybe he thinks if people feel sorry for the chicken they should also feel sorry for the fetus? But then that wouldn’t make sense because if the two are equal in his…

This is it. It’s why there are far more anti-choice men than women, and why there are so few pro-choice men. They just want to be able to force women to have their kids. If a woman makes the ‘mistake’ of fucking one, then her pregnancy is the man’s prize (not my words, but the words of men online). They don’t care if…

God gave us man dominion over life. He allows us to raise animals properly and care for them and then process them for food so we can sustain life. And that’s what I’m doing here with this chicken.

You’re not wrong. I think what people generally mean is that “He’s unusually attractive for a billionaire.”

I’m with Tomuban. It’s obnoxious that anytime anyone calls bullshit on religion we get jumped on. Religion by default should not be sacrosanct and unquestionable in society (just as with any other philosophical stance or perspective). Secularism gives space in society for testing philosophies and practices that are…

If they were held to the same standard as civilians that would be an improvement over the status quo.

There’s a lot of public support for abortion. It has very little to do with religion now other than the influence of that institution on the status quo. Our politicians are cowards afraid of alienating anyone, even to do what they know to be right.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that abortion is something only women can have and oppressing women is the default position.

The mainstreaming of Alt-Med is my nightmare, because it fits so well with the rwing desire to cut costs and reserve care exclusively for elites. One day you’ll have cancer and Medicare will give you a baggie of herbs because “science isn’t a privileged narritive anymore!”

Go on Facebook and join all of the mom groups in Fairfield County — Westport Moms, New Canaan Moms, Weston moms, etc. Then pose the question, “where do you get your wheatgrass?” There’s your tribe.
