You did describe it has happening prior to her being 10, but she described an incidents that occurred when she was 17. Yes, you are right it's entirely possible that it continued beyond that and very likely that she did more that she didn't share. So you're still wrong about 3. I believe you've edited your initial…

In this country, you gotta make the controversy first. Then when you get the controversy, you get the clicks. Then when you get the clicks, then you get the money.

You've created a strawman of people that think Lena Dunham is a child molester. So there is that.

You are wrong because Lena Dunham described herself molesting her sister at least until Dunham left for college. It's relevant because so many people came forward to defend her that even now people such as yourself describe it as a single incident that occurred as a pre-teen, instead of over a decade of such behavior…

I would disagree to a certain extent. I think there's rationalization in virtually every case, but that doesn't mean they don't know what they are doing. Like when people steal they know it's wrong, but they feel they deserve it for whatever reason, so it's okay.

It's what she wrote. As I recall she'd dress up her sister in skimpy outfits, brand it with "slut."

It's funny how people come out of the woodwork to defend her.

"As for vague assertions that violence has gone down, it certainly hasn't gone down enough"

Ever hear the expression "Don't discuss politics or religion at the table" between lectures?

So you're rebuttal is "Your right but not right enough" and then cite shootings in Chicago? So for the cause of all the shootings instead of the ready availability of guns and wide-spread poverty you blame, what? Violent cartoons? Videogames? It's incredible how divorced you can be from the reality that you feel…

It isn't something that comes up at parties. Have you never been?

And I'd argue that violence has been part of every single society since the dawn of society itself and that trying to blame a handful cultural forces is just seeing what you want.

Eh, I'd rather be loose with my language than a demanding pedant. Experience has which type ends up with more friends.

Speech as in communication, not soliloquy.

"No, I didn't say that."

Yes, that is what he was talking about. Good catch.
