Yeah, I don't know about that. A "bullshit non-sequitur" is trying to shift discussion to the relevance of charity work when nobody - including you - seems able to support the very serious charge of "Sean Penn beats his romantic partners." You upvoted the statement "He allegedly beat Robin Wright throughout their…

If there's a ton, then a link would be easy to provide, right? A specific incident of Sean Penn abusing a woman.

"I am aware of the allegations that have surfaced over the years accusing Sean of incidents of physical assault and abuse against me. Specifically, I am aware of the allegations concerning an alleged incident that occurred in June, 1987, whereby (according to tabloid reports), Sean allegedly struck me with 'a baseball…

Contrast that with the former head of US military intelligence being interviewed on Al Jazeera.

Yeah, figured - sitting in a chair is pretty much the worst for that kind of disc problem, hence the importance of backwards yoga bends. Get into a class if you haven't.

Yo man, that could be a slipped sacral vertebrae disc. If you haven't had an MRI, you should. Also, upward facing dog FTW.

There already is a mechanism for limiting excessive civil litigation - they are called "citizen juries."

Corporate propaganda has managed to turn what's called "tort reform" (taking away the right to sue) into a populist issue.

People should watch Dirty Wars, the documentary from investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill. It's one of those that every US citizen should watch. Of course, Taxi To The Dark Side is also excellent, but I feel like more people have seen that one.

Yeah, that's just not true. I was at his camp in Pétionville a few months after the earthquakes. They were the real deal. If you have some dislike for Sean Penn, fine, but those camps were well-run and helpful.

Chapo reached out to Sean Penn, not the other way around. So you'd have to ask the druglord.

You know, I tried BooBerry again recently because I remembered really loving it as a kid. But it wasn't that great. I may have just liked it as a kid because it was only available around Halloween. I bought 3 boxes: BooBerry, Count Chocula, and FrankenBerry, in order to do a taste test. I actually liked Count Chocula…

Dan's response to PENSIVE was so arbitrarily contemptuous and condescending that I bet it made him jizz.

Hmm. Maybe I am missing why everyone calls him a creep? Because he answered the door in a towel? That sounds like something a not-very-intelligent person with a really straightforward thinking style would do if he'd just gotten out of the shower and the doorbell rang. He would walk over to the door and answer it. Is…

Yeah, I read it with an open mind and wasn't all that impressed. It's all stuff I would definitely talk about if I'm the prosecution, but nothing is remotely "damning." The item that the author was most impressed by was actually the weakest to me. He says they found non-blood DNA on the latch - OK, well first of all,…

I liked it a lot for what it is but related to your first question: Luke peaced out and became a hermit because he trained Solo's kid and Solo's kid (Kylo Ren) turned out bad. Solo's kid is clearly like 30 tops. Lets say he was fully trained and evil by the time he was 15. So, it only took 15 years of his being a…

I would bet money that Harrison Ford had built into his contract for this movie that he would only do it if the character Han Solo would be killed off. There is no way he wanted to keep getting called back for sequel after sequel.

And I think it was really, really bad that Andrew Jackson owned 150 human slaves as a private citizen and signed and executed the Indian Removal Act as president. I think those were bad things to do.

It's hard to deny though that the US spectrum has shifted rightward post-Reagan. Republican Nixon proposed genuinely universal healthcare and a guaranteed minimal income for all citizens. That's further left than any current Democrat candidate. Republican Eisenhower called it un-American to try and dismantle New Deal…

"When I was poor and I complained about inequality, people said I was bitter. Now I'm rich and I complain about inequality, they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm beginning to think they just don't want inequality on the agenda because it is a real problem that needs to be addressed."
-Russell Brand
