It’s swanky, but not as intimidating as you’d think. It’s the perfect blend of privacy and proximity to the best parts of the city

Not an Islamic Center. THE Islamic Center. It's gorgeous massive. Everything in that neighborhood is beautiful

I was just thinking that! Nevermind that there are also like three churches in the area... But you know SOMEONE is going to say something

So I'm gonna live two blocks away from Obama. Sweet!

And that’s my entire point. Her fault in the matter and the fault of the student are mutually exclusive. So her negligence does not justify in any way the malicious actions taken against her. But she was negligent in her duties as a teacher, and therefore the reprimand against her was justified (given what we know…

Well, yes. Insofar as it is a teacher’s job to prevent students from accessing pornography and other illicit things on the internet while school is in session. That’s why school computers block illicit websites, and why teachers ban phones in their classrooms.

I noticed that. I also noticed that most of Marco Rubio’s takedown of Trump in last night’s debate was ALSO lifted from the John Oliver clip. He even said “I watched a video the other day...” when launching into a tirade about Trump University and the other collapsed properties/businesses Trump oversaw. Its amazing…

It doesn’t, but I’m assuming it wasn’t locked/the student saw her put in her password/she gave the student her password. In any of those cases, she by negligence allowed the student access to her phone, which had pornography on it. Again, I’m not saying the student isn’t entirely to blame for his reprehensible…

If I were investigating this, these would be the questions I would have asked. All I’m saying in the above post is that I can understand the rationale behind holding her partially accountable for the events that transpired. She had an obligation to prevent her students from being exposed to pornography. Did she have…

You’re right, she had no reason to expect that her phone would be taken and used that way. That doesn’t stop the issue of liability. I don’t expect my office to be broken into, but I still lock the door every time I leave. That doesn’t mean a thief is any less at fault for stealing what’s inside, but I’m still liable…

Exactly. Saying that she is accountable for the image falling into the hands of her students is not saying that she invited this harassment upon herself, nor is it saying that the student is not entirely at fault for his reprehensible actions. But as a teacher, it is her responsibility to keep her students from…

You’re right, but I’m going by the information that “It became a regular piece of equipment that they used in that classroom” and they were able to gain access to it. I’m assuming that if her phone was password protected, and no one knew her password, they would not have been able to access the phone. So from that…

While I agree that there is an unacceptable amount of victim blaming associated with this decision, I can’t fault at least some of the logic employed here. She allowed students access to her personal cell phone which contained pornography. Yes, it was an unacceptable invasion of her privacy, but they’re right to…

I’m not completely unconvinced that Ben Carson wasn’t just looking for the bathroom one day and stumbled onto a podium, where he accidentally announced he was running for president. I’m also not unconvinced that he didn’t just go “Well, it could be fun” at that point, having just the most delightful time being a…

Spike Lee had nothing to do with how much the American Oldboy sucked. He basically disowned the film, because the studio cut over thirty minutes from the final version and basically ruined it.

Not to invalidate this, but this is an issue in America in general. Male or female, you are more likely to get shot in America than in any other developed country.

It really surprises me that British TV is seen as not as diverse. Every british show I’ve ever watched had many women and people of color, of all nationalities. But if Idris Elba says it, it must be a bigger issue than I realized.

They said that about Fantastic Four. Having a huge fanbase doesn’t guarantee that a movie will do well. The movie has to also be good.

Everyone did. I was afraid he wouldn't make it out because he went on a rampage and blew himself up. Luckily, that didn't happen

Serious question: Is this autocannibalism?
