Yes! It's a great argument, though it's impossible to settle once and for all. :)

Ah, I'm sorry. *hug*

He was not actually convicted of assault, but I suspect he's guilty.

What? WHAT?! ...I am starting to think I have good instincts, after all. When I don't like a celebrity (and I rarely take a dislike to any of them), it turns out they have done something horrible (I'm looking at you, Mr. Fassbender.)

I moderate according to the Jezebel guidelines. Just keep things civil and substantive. Clever is good too. [jezebel.com]

Actually, this is Jezebel.

OH MY GOD. This is FASCINATING. Awful, obviously, and I hope they get better for good. But also fascinating.

Agreed. It's not even subtle, in my opinion.

Let's keep debates civil rather than just insulting people. Thanks.

I don't know about "more," but I really think it's best to marry someone (if you feel like getting married) who is really, really, really crazy about you. That has worked out well for me, anyway.

Oh, that sounds really interesting!The books I've read back each other up rather than critiquing or contradicting each other, so I probably believed some things about which I should be skeptical.

Thanks! I had not thought about the small sample sizes AT ALL, and that makes sense. And yeah, I should have explained that I have no idea whether culture or socialization accounts for the differences...in fact it sort of makes sense to me that it would, and that seemingly "inborn" traits might be cultural because…

The aspect of it that DOES bother me, however, is the fact that in media, the black characters are there as these unofficial sages, that help with the growth and character development of white characters, but then they are presented as uncomplicated characters and people.

I've been doing so much reading lately about the brain and while there are real gender differences between women's and men's brains, I haven't seen that much research suggesting a difference regarding math equations specifically. Men seem to have an edge on visual and spatial relationships, and women have a…

This is so silly. I was going to type a long response to point out which statements are incoherent, which are generalizations too broad to be at all useful, and which are just plain wrong, but then I realized you would just type a long thing back with more numbers and more incoherent statements and wrongness and then…

Oh man, I could write a thesis on Martha Jones! I have thought about this a lot! ...But, I need to go to sleep...

Preface: I know I am not very smart about racial issues, and I am always willing to learn.

I wish this would happen on my flight so I could show off how I'm not scared of death.

Oh, but I haven't even done anything, yet, except donate one time through my church...I'll go do something right now! So there! :) And hearted.

I'm crying, too...but more because I hate someone as nice as you feeling so bad. There's no real reason to believe the worst happened. Your mind goes there because you loved her, and you didn't know what happened, and so you worry, don't you think? I hope you can overcome your feelings of guilt. And think of all the…
