No country is obliged to give a visa to anyone. Here is a very short list of some of the people who have been denied visas to enter the USA (some were subsequently readmitted): Amy Winehouse, Boy George, Nigella Lawson, Lily Allen, Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), etc.

I’m growing more and more uncomfortable with the seemingly increasing progressive notion that people’s backgrounds must be fully delved into and punishment doled out for things they did years and years ago, retroactive, permanent punishment. It strikes me as so anti-liberal.

Outside of the media, who’s talking about this?

If you get out of your race car on an active race track an walk INTO THE PATH of another race car with the intentions of starting a fight with the driver and you get hurt, it is YOUR fault and YOUR fault alone. YOU have no idea what stewart saw because you aren’t him. YOU have no idea how difficult a car like that can…

I think you misunderstand the job of street cops. They don’t solve crimes, they aren’t detectives and the requirements to be one are quite low seeing as it is entry level. They are law enforcement, usually meaning they get a call that you broke the law and they come to haul your ass to jail with sufficient evidence.…

The article said they were talking about this after ten minutes of baby talk with a dog. They were obviously just fucking around in the office. Obviously the way they talked about this woman was wrong, but I think there’s a pretty huge leap to be made between “shooting the shit at the office = unable to make logical…

And my arguments aren’t being made in regards to this case specifically, or even rape specifically, but to our criminal justice system in general. It really bugs me when I see people react to any criminal case like a bloodthirsty mob. And I understand that rape prosecution is a sensitive topic that has been ignored…

Women do this all of the time to both binary genders. So do men. People judge each other and make assumptions, that’s what they do.

Oh, fuck off. Everybody does or has done this in private. It’s called gossip, or “hot or not”, or whatever. This is ridiculously overblown.

I think that labeling our criminals as sociopaths and locking them away to “protect” society at large is not a civilized form of justice. Is this fucker a sociopath? Maybe. Is he a teenager who went to a school that had a history of rape culture that was presented to him as the norm and probably never faced any…

Yes, he committed a heinous act. Yes, he deserves some form of punishment. But seriously? You would have no moral qualms over killing a rapist, or sending a teenager to jail for a significant percentage of their life? Harsh punishment as a form of deterrence has been shown time and time again to not work. We need to…

It says that the new CEO has cut their wages in half and reneged on previous agreements for a XMas bonus. They have a right to be pissed.

I feel like this was an elabourate rouse by the Chinese government to show the population “they” are under “constant attack” by the “foreigners”. Otherwise, why would you admit to knowing its purpose and that they’re on alert?

- Splitting a check in an itemized fashion.

I am pretty sure it will just be a regurgitation of the buzzfeed piece. We already know that they horde information and use it to get better scoops. I don’t think that tmz is a model of integrity in journalism by ANY standard of the imagination, but I also don’t think that any other gossip media operates very much…

“Your people?”
These comments always crack me up. So you can stereotype an entire group of people, call them “your people” or “those people” and you see nothing wrong with it. It’s an embarrassment.

Her work is garbage, biased and low-brow. Take for instance her link to Serena and Venus Williams. She makes it sound like they were being booed for being black, when in reality, they were being booed because the crowd thought their father was fixing the matches.

Has Kara’s work helped convince you that it’s OK to fire guns at people and burn down buildings because institutional racism?

Amazing how almost every other country in the entire world manages paid maternity leave, and for longer periods of time than we do in the US, and yet some beaurocrat can always argue how it’ll kill businesses and jobs. What a load of steaming poo.
