Emily Yoffe?!?! Why is she proudly listed? Slate, you guys are terrible and you need to stop giving her a platform to spout her awful opinions on sexual assault. Psh. Like she belongs on the same list as Gloria Steinem.

Your not 5 he only taxpayer, selfish lib

WHEREBY the American taxpayer is a fragile creature that must be protected against any and all injustices,

I do not see a whistleblower. I see someone who released sensitive information after taking a pledge not to; the info released not uncovering wrongdoing at all.

I have a smart, mouthy four-year-old boy, and I do hit him when he does things like push, kick, or hit his little brother, because an eye for an eye. I always ask him, "how do you like that?"

No, I'm just pointing out that people only give a shit about this case because Manning is 'famous'. Kind of like how people freaked out about Kony in 2012 yet ignored the same problems in a half dozen other countries because there wasn't a popular documentary by a film group digging for donations about THOSE cases.

NO. You are completely misusing the term whistleblower. A whistleblower is someone that observes some kind of misconduct and then shares information to expose that misconduct.

Inmates get medical care to keep them at a basic level of health. If they need a surgery to save their lives, they get it, which is why death row inmates have gotten things like heart transplants and kidneys. Prisons are not [supposed to be] death camps where if you get locked up and happen to get sick will just be…

I have a different term than "man" or "woman" for this person:

She is but it's at a military facility at Fort Leavenworth, so military codes of conduct apply.

I don't care if she is transgender. I'll respect what he wants in regards to sexual identity, but...

the portrayal of female ejaculation is being banned because it's being confused with urolagnia (urine sex acts)

What racial slur? A dumb bunny is a stupid person.

Ack...VOLVO owners. When I was an advisor, I dreaded them. "be sure to align my car to the exact FACTORY specs, not just within the acceptable range...." like they knew a damn thing about a car.

it loosened me up quite a bit. And that was a good thing.

So... he's single now?

How about "Don't plug another hacker's computer directly into your spy organization's network"?
