Punching someone in the nuts in self-defense is not sexual assault.

Damn, back in the day you had to wait to SMOKE until the seat-belt signs were off. Can you even imagine??

It’s not about a ghost in the sky. It’s about finding strength, cleaning house, and helping others. If you do those things, however you find them, you can get better. (And I, for one, put my higher power in a couple of pill bottles - do they make me feel better? Yes. Do I fully understand them? No. Do they make it…

I’m an atheist in AA who goes to meetings that are principally filled with other atheists and agnostics who have very figurative and unique conceptions of their higher powers not founded in any sort of dogmatic religion. Different programs and different solutions work for different people. I’m happy people no matter…

Ok, white people as a monolith don’t have a culture. Neither do any other color people. You may be tempted to say black culture or Native American culture, etc - but those are just as problematic. NA culture depends on tribal nation, etc. just as a lot of European culture is based on ethnicity. etc.

I’m just here to say I think it’s kind of adorable that you think hipster-ism is a new thing from only the past 20 yrs. /nosnark

I have a big problem with women going after married men. I have a big problem with married men going with it. I have a big problem with married men initiating with unmarried women, and those women going with it. It’s the ‘innocent party’ who gets screwed he most in these situations. And no one is thinking about THAT…

Oh, it’s not! She’s had a lot of work done - her cheekbones, her nose, and her lips, too. Which is why her being lauded as one of the most beautiful women in the world is so fucking annoying. Stop pushing these surgically-altered beauty standards on us!

I think she wants to cut him out so she can drag those poor kids all over the world without having to run it by dad. Also, I think cutting people out of her life is just something she does. She seems like a complete nut case.

Or she’d rather be able to talk about it openly without being made to feel that her feelings are wrong. There’s nothing worse than trying to be honest with someone and they dismiss your feelings because they don’t line up with what they think you should feel. I really think she’s looking for understanding and…

I don’t think there’s an epidemic of pedophiles as much as there is an epidemic of people who don’t want to rock the boat and so let a small number of serial predators escape justice time and time again.

Only women have a gender

Meanwhile I don’t see any vigilantes lining up to self-investigate these actual cases of children being violated.

The game isn’t to shit on uninformed voters, it’s to inform them. You can hang out on Mount Pious or make the most of any future encounter you have.

This is not a generational war. I’m 55, disabled and can barely get any healthcare. You don’t want to know my monthly income. I have 12 years of college education, taught in college for 7 years, got sick and everything I’d worked for was gone. Seriously, too many people stereotype with the broadest strokes I’ve ever…

This is off topic but the Social Security changes really worry me. My children all receive Social Security Survivor Benefits (my husband passed away). We depend on that money to replace his income. It’s been a huge part of why I’ve continued to be able to give my kids some stability and keep them in the same school…

Of course it’s wrong. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Yes. Prison conditions are uniformly fucking terrible. They are often worse for black inmates, but prison reform should be a universal cause.

I’m sure his parents got a very good lawyer that dragged it out as long as humanly possible. It’s all about that. Though prosecutors do it too.... my partner served two months in county jail (He’s a recovering addict, and also an idiot, but that’s a story for another day), said there were guys there who had been…
