I have gotten out of two tickets using the "Chip method", one for making an illegal turn on red right in front of a cop car, and the other for going the wrong way down a one-way street. I forget exactly what I said, but both times, it more or less boiled down to "I'm sorry Officer...I didn't know I couldn't do that". …

Because there aren't that many wealthy black people who commit (sloppy) murder. If you'd like a more recent example, I'd go with Bill Cosby - man's been raping his way up & down the country for decades and won't see a second in jail because of it. Even if someone did come forward with a complaint that happened within…

Weeeeellll, now... an 82-pound advantage is nothing to sneeze at, be it fat or muscle. I'm guessing you haven't battle-grappled much.

you don't need a lot of muscle when you have an 80+ pound weight advantage to throw around. you understand why they have weight classes in boxing, wrestling, ufc, etc, right?

Yet, here's why this type of narrative is dangerous. You're taking a handful of instances in a 20 year time frame and making it sound like an epidemic. Are there bad, racist cops? Yes. Are there people in the system who don't necessarily work towards justice? Yes.

Sure, each of the instances you mention is unfair,…

I'm not really concerned about the "slippery slope" here.

"This sounds like a road map for threatening a spouse and getting away with it," Justice Alito said. "You put it in rhyme and you put some stuff about the Internet on it and you say, 'I'm an aspiring rap artist.' And so then you are free from prosecution."

Well, Elonis's ex specifically got a restraining order against him, and he posted these rings to her and her sister's Facebook pages, if I remember correctly. I don't know if Eminem was subject to a no contact order, but it seems different to say awful things about someone in a setting with people who do not know them…

I've been on the other end of that joke before. We were not on a date, but a group of work people went for a drink and a few of their other friends came and I wound sitting next to some lady I barely knew.

Yes. Maybe.

I won't watch it. I don't want to spend 90 minutes yelling "get a job you bum!" to my tv.

Its great that you love your family! But that doesn't mean that its actually remotely healthy for you to still be living with them.

My parents loaned me the money to start my own business and it changed my life. I refuse to feel bad about it and would never want to date someone who looked down on me for it.

when I was fifteen, he was the HOTTEST. Now I realize WHY fifteen year olds legally can't marry.

Hoda Kotb declared catcalling to be inoffensive and quite complimentary this morning, and Matt Fucking Lauer had to set her straight. Today meets the Twilight Zone.

I'm just glad all these kids were straight. If one of them had been gay this might be a distraction.

I met my fiance on OK Cupid. Online dating in general seemed very strange to me at first, but I got used to it fairly quickly once I got over my initial fear of meeting men I talked to online in person.

Hopefully 17 trillion. Beyonce is fucking terrible.
