You think that driver is "FedEx"? He's a wage slave like most of us. But, you're absolutely right in that he should not have been fired. The assholes who reported him for tossing their package full of FABRICS are truly symptoms of what's wrong with America. Jeebus.

The Beasties' letter was not a threat, but an inquiry—and GoldieBlox DID strike first—and second. First, they stole a song, then they sued. IMO, their case against the Beasties is an attempt to sway public favor from those whose self-righteousness blinds them to fairness.

Also, the lyrics to GIRLS were a parody, to…

I was quoting from THE BREAKFAST CLUB. But, yeah, California works, too!

See, also: Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens, Theodore Geisel...

I've laid lotsa times. You wouldn't know her, she's from Canada.

Howdy, neighbor! You may be wondering why there is frozen egg all over your windows—well, I just wanted to send a message to you that just 'cause everybody is out there, expressing opinions and such, you really shouldn't. I'm hoping you step up and ration your words this lifetime, and not allow yourself to continue…

You assume that the RR driver felt confident that the bikers would have left him alone if he pulled over. If a biker group like this had surrounded me, and tried to bring me to a stop with me not knowing why? I would FLOOR it. But I'd never get off at 178th street—that's a parking lot. WSH to HH to CCP to Sprain…

I'd like to take this time to point out that the Jets are from New Jersey.

To your first point, agreed. I DID move the goalpost, in the same way servicemen and women are represented by the armed forces. Honor is THEIR word, not mine. I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy of those asked-for expectations. And, over the past couple of years, it's clear that THAT body is rotting from the…

The questions you are positing are not the questions I did. Non-consensual sex is rape. If the alleged victim did not consent, it's rape. It's not up to the victim to define rape—that's already been done. It's up to the alleged victim and alleged perp to state what they know, and for the court to decide. Sexual…

That's true. But, WHY can't she remember? In any case, it seems that honor is a virtue ignored by too many of our servicemen.

Really only two questions are ever required:

People have ALWAYS had sex, but my generation—the AIDS generation—literally risked our lives, if we weren't careful. Nothing cools a hookup like fear of death.

And then, they lay THIS on their kids. I FUCKING HATE RELIGION!

I came here to get an MRS, but all I got was an STD :/ (headline, if this were published when it was *apparently* written - c. 1962)

Anyone who thinks that weddings are a profit center are clearly assholes. Now, RENT parties, at least, are on the up and up.

Your response is welcome—thank you. I was raised in a bullying environment, and learned, the hard way, how to fight. I lived in near-constant fear, until I realized that I COULD fight back. But once I did realize that, and did, I also realized that I HATE fighting, even though I became very good at it. So,…

You are right, and I am sorry. I've been thinking about my response for a few hours now, but had no access to the internet. Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt, by acknowledging that my response does come from a place of compassion, sympathy, and empathy.

The type of victimization your story addresses is…

And THAT is a clear example of rape culture. And it makes my head explode. NOBODY should be allowed to invade your space.
