I missed whatever the guy said that was racist, but I’m not a huge fan of Papa John’s pizza to start with so whatever.

Hey you know what else? They go to a dance in the last episode and they kiss too.

I don’t know that said anonymous person is a hero. Yes, I’d like Trump’s account to be gone, but if you can’t make it stick you just did a halfass job.

“...and/or the knowledge that the vast majority of rapists reported to the cops end up walking free...”

I firmly believe that it’s the fame and power that gives these predators the courage to be so brazen about their disgusting behavior. The tendencies are there to begin with but they no longer feel like they have to hide or suppress it.

He is so long as they’re against him. The second they say anything supportive of him he’ll suddenly become a big fan of the news media. In fact he’ll be the biggest ever, I’m sure.

Everything in this article is spot-on. Dragon’s Lair was a pestilence.

I don’t think the media deserves the benefit of the doubt. Not one iota. I think the media needs hard scrutiny at all times because of the vast power it wields, and the fact that that power has been concentrated in the hands of a few mega-corporations.

The word “allegedly” is necessary even if you don’t like it. The reason is that until Weinstein is convicted of something in a court he is on the “innocent” end of the legal system. There’s a reason we have that system. In spite of how sure we are sometimes about someone’s guilt there is sometimes a chance we’re…

When he says ordinary Americans he is unifying all of those minorities he mentioned with the rest of their fellow citizens who are not wealthy or privileged. You know, like the majority of welfare and food stamp recipients who are actually white and not black or other people of color, the way many Republicans frame…

As far as I’m aware there is no criminal statute anywhere in this country that criminalizes “trace” amounts of any narcotic. It always has to be a useable amount. Given that the public statement explicitly claims it’s a trace amount and not more I am deeply suspicious that this is one of Weinstein’s moneyed…

I’m aware of where the numbers come from which people use to spread that specious “fact” as they call it. The person in question here at least acknowledges that suicide is a major component of the statistic and so I have less of a problem here. In this case he appears to simply believe that including suicide is…

I’m glad there’s someone like this guy who is enough of a stickler for detail that he and his well-documented complaints can push Tesla to improve. I don’t think I would care about the little details as much as he does. It’s a credit to Tesla IMO that they are willing to work on his problems for him.

That’s just completely fucked up. I’m only glad that it’s rare enough to make the news...somewhere. Haven’t seen it from MSNBC or CNN or Fox yet. Not holding my breath.

It’s starting to dehumanize anyone who works for those NFL team owners. It seems like a majority of them are black but the owners certainly don’t seem to think better of any of their “inmates” who happen to be something other than black.

I genuinely am having a great schadenfreude time as these various allegations of harassment, groping, or outright sexual assault against Hollywood personalities are getting attention again. So far there haven’t been any real NEW ones that I’ve seen, but it’s fun seeing them dig it all back up.

I think those are good points and examples. There are some important points that I disagree with you on elsewhere, but I really respect that you put thought into what you’re saying and aren’t just parroting some garbage from someone else. That makes it easy to have some kind of actual dialogue instead of just point…

So let me ask you a question that I already know is controversial, because even I think it is: Should we really be crafting any kind of legislation in order to protect people from self-harm? Is that a valid function of law, to swoop in and decide for a person what is best for them?

I think by making that statement you (rhetorical, not you specifically) are ascribing some totemic power to a gun. As if the object is just waiting to shoot you in the head or something, and you can’t help yourself. I don’t buy that magical thinking.

I disagree. Look at the suicide rates in Japan for example. Additionally it has nothing to do with self-defense, which is what this article and most of our comments are about. Citing a statistic that relies upon suicide as a means of saying “having a gun is likely to result in your death” is specious when having a…
