"In historical context, what's underway is an unprecedented social experiment; the past 20 or so years may well be the first generation of parents in Western history to collectively reject spanking as an acceptable way to discipline kids."

Kentucky was a Union state (though it certainly had split loyalties, and was a slave state), the eastern part of the state is very coal mining oriented, the western part including Louisville is a combination of urban, semi-southern and Midwestern. All in all, it isn't much of a southern state. No more than Maryland…

As an update, he did actually write he was wrong and that he's sorry about 1 minute after you wrote this.

Eh, I am far from being an expert, but I doubt Clay makes soooooooo much money that 5k is just a drop in a bucket. To me, getting upset over this gesture is simply refusing to back down from a position.

Clay actually owned up to the mistake and offered 5k to a charity of Cousin's choice. I think 5k from a sports writer is a proper retribution.

Causation and correlation. Learn the basics.

I'm actually terrified to even type the words into my address bar. I imagine my computer starts smoking and ten minutes later my life has been somehow ruined by a gang of hackers.

I like your commitment to an authoritarian and draconian society. Also citation needed.

Craigslist, backpage, any "escort service," strip clubs, certain "massage parlors," truck stops, and certain neighborhoods or streets in most medium to large-sized cities. Or......so I've heard.

Come on man, you can't just say an institution is allowed to do something because it is metaphysically possible. When you say, they can dismiss a student accused of rape that is read by any reasonable person as including the qualifier that they can do so without incurring civil liability.

Yes, colleges can dismiss students from school for being late to a single class, even if that tardiness was caused by the student being hit by a car. They can basically do what they want and deal with the backlash from students/alums/the public. If they want to deny basic due process to students they can do that. …

Well pretty simply unless you don't believe in due process the only acceptable avenue for punishing a rapist is through a judicial process. Creating a system whereby a person can initiate an extrajudicial punishment against someone else, without the accountability attached to a proper proceeding is fraught with…

Yes, they want extrajudicial punishments for men they call rapists, in a consequence-free environment. What the hell is wrong with that?

Not sure a discourse on rape prevention should be framed (seemingly arbitrarily) within the UVA fraternity system right now, just a timing thing that makes it seem nasty and dimwitted.

This nation was once great because it was improving and growing in all areas, including civil rights. It isn't great anymore because it is full of entitled assholes who want to be praised for their mere existence - who bitch and whine and point fingers instead of actually doing something. Case in point: me here on…

I said morality not morals. Here is the googled definition of morality: principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. Laws push people to "right" vs. "wrong" or "good" vs. "bad." Parking in the wrong spot is bad, so it is right that you don't park in the wrong spot and thus…

Alternatively, laws are by definition only based on "morality."

You don't understand why some people prefer a whore to jerking off?

It isn't entrapment. It might not qualify as solicitation, but they didn't induce a criminal act that was otherwise unlikely to occur. He got a whore through his own initiative and through a normal channel of acquiring a whore.

It isn't entrapment because Anthony went online looking for a prostitute. Had the prostitute approached him in a Denny's then it could be entrapment.
