Hence, it’s a false equivalency - the comparison portrays them as equal, but in reality they aren’t. My comment pointed that out.

Is there a point hidden somewhere in here, or are you just noodling philosophical about how people should ignore statutory rape because sometimes laws are arbitrary?

You’re better off calling Ben and Jerry. Might even get a pint out of it too.

Agreed. Every website on traveling and if problem arise instructs you to captures names, tel#’s, emails addresses and whatever, the more documentation of a customer service problem, the better.

The victim, as far as I can tell, was simply asking for anonymity... not for the story to be kept secret.  If she didn’t want her story out, what would be the point of sending it to Feinstein?

That’s pretty much the line of 90% of the greys and I expect more to come streaming on in over the weekend, lol. Michael never fails to give folks a case of the vapors. He could and should be hired on by a university to teach a doctorate class on how to make hit dogs holler in under 1000 words.

“The massively multiplayer aspect of a massively multiplayer game is functionally ruining the game as a massively multiplayer experience.”

No one really cares what cops want to do, they care about what cops actually do.

Nobody should be banned for exploits unless those exploits are actively hurting or taking advantage of other players.

Freshman year of college me and my roommates went out trying to bond. 6 of us total and I was the only black girl, four of the girls are white and the other girl was EA trans racial adoptee w/ white parents.
