Because college sexual assault involves alcohol like 95% of the time, is almost always bound up in lots of fairly complex social factors (the guy who assaulted you is really good friends with a bunch of your friends and you are worried they'll dump you as a friend if you publicly accuse him, etc.), and in very many…
The thing that is baffling is that these cases usually involve the standard of "more likely than not," as opposed to "beyond a reasonable doubt" in criminal cases. It could be that this college has a higher standard than "more likely than not," however, in which case the sanctions may actually match the findings. If…
The police file charges based on the criminal code, while colleges pursue charges based on violations of college policy. So the cops could put you in jail, whereas the school will expel you. Colleges are now expressly prohibited from telling victims (it's not just women!) that they should not file charges with the…
Gilbert went big—he broke out the Curlz MT font for this one.
Shouldn't you be out in Nevada protesting with Cliven Bundy?
I like how it takes most people a second to realize that this is a gif, not an image. SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SHITE OLYMPICS.
I am NOT beginning to doubt THEIR commitment to Sparkle Motion.
And you know that nobody raped her because.... ??? Note that "[Redacted] woke up in a hospital bed and doesn't remember how she got there or who transported her to the hospital" means that (a) she blacked out and lots of time is missing from the timeline, and (b) she got checked out at the hospital and DNA would have…
I don't really know what you're trying to say here. There are comparatively fewer mass casualty incidents with knives than there are with guns, mostly because it takes lots more effort to attack someone with a knife.
This is patently untrue. Colleges have any number of reasons to care about the safety of their students, and most do. This article talked about all of two colleges. You may think that colleges are cynical about the issue, or are motivated by the wrong things (fear of losing a lawsuit, for example), but the colleges…
BREAKING NEWS: Guy Who Never Watched a Show Does Not Understand Many of the References When He Finally Gets Around to Watching an Episode.
Oh, I totally get that. My wife and I always joked that the show was "How I (Banged Every Single Woman in NYC and then) Met Your Mother." But, in terms of the length of time the viewer had to adjust to these changes, the pacing was horrible, hence my suggestion in another thread that they should have introduced the…
No, she did get a name, she was "Number 31."
And the one time he forgot, how lucky that he would happen to bang some skank* who didn't mind relinquishing full custody of her daughter!
Seriously, I was expecting the kids to high-five each other when Ted picked up the phone to call Robin.
I get your point, but it requires that you believe that they *had* to kill the mother, which of course was a completely unnecessary plot device to get Ted and Robin together.
All of this could have been remedied had they (a) prepped the viewers for the Mother's death waaaaaay earlier, if not in season 7 or 8, then in the first episode of this season, and (b) told the later season writers, "you know, Ted and Robin wind up together in the end. Keep that in mind." But as it was, the writers…
I liked the finale to Cheers. It was from the older sitcom era, where every story has to be tied up and every character sent on his/her way, but it felt right to me.
