I just, you know . . . I don't really *mind* that you're Indian. I'd just like to hear your explanation as to why it's necessary. Cause I'm not seeing it.

seriously you should just stop, you're making us all like, really uncomfortable.

"That show is awkward because there's actually no reason for that character to be Indian."

Sanjay and Craig is a really good example, which funnily enough is written in part by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi from Pete & Pete. That show is awkward because there's actually no reason for that character to be Indian.

This is just conjecture on my part, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that older people may not be as comfortable and savvy with the modern world. By the time we are all old our grandchildren might be running around with iBrain and we'll rush to their aid when they tell us their operating system needs a…

How did you make it to your age with no heart?

Hey! You respect the senior citizens who will send thousands of dollars to a grandchild with a broken nose and a broken phone! They have so much wisdom to share.

For what little it's worth, I am at this moment cowering with shame. Looked at her photos when they leaked, thought it was a purely victimless crime as she would never know. Read her statement, and she's right. It hit like a gut-punch. I think there is value in her speaking out partially because, because even with…

The only one around here wrongly conflating anything is you. No one is saying this is as bad as forced prostitution or rape. No one needs to make comparisons of magnitude to prove anything. This can still be a sexual violation and a sex crime without softening the seriousness of crimes like rape.

fuck off. It's a sex crime. Stop minimizing it.

well I think our definition of sexual assault needs to change to suit technological advances. Attacks like this, revenge porn etc are used to exert power over women or shame them, very similar to sexual assault. Our definition needs to widen!

Good to know you think a woman's privacy and bodily autonomy is worth no more than a pack of gum.

How many times are you going to say this? Give it a rest.

But, but, but, Wikipedia says something different!

She never once said 'sexual assault'. She did say 'sex crime, sexual violation, sexually exploited and sexual offense'.

This. Another example- here in MO, a woman can walk around topless. The 'girls' can just hang out. However, there can be no sexual connotation to their freedom. Topless sunbathing in your front yard- fine. Dancing topless around a pole in your front yard (particularly in Lucite stilettos)- illegal. It's not…

The intention of the theft was to profit on the sale of images of a woman's naked body without her consent. The intent, the mens rea, is driven by the sale of sexual pleasure. The intention behind crimes matters - a lot - enough that we criminalize certain acts when they are done with different intentions. For…

I gotta hand it to her, she's rocking the mom haircut.

Great statement and I'm glad she decided not to apologize or say anything other than what she said here.

"In the piece, Lawrence said she considered releasing a statement, some sort of apology, when she found out about the photos getting out, but realized "I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to…
