Since you also appear to misunderstand what Due Process is, let me clarify. Due Process is a thing that the Government must give you when it takes an action that affects any of your rights.

Since you seem to also not really understand how Due Process works, let me clarify something for you:

Everywhere unfortunately. Now there are even more idiots who think the 1st amendment means all their verbal diarrhea is above scrutiny thanks to a document they’ve never bothered reading. Huzzah!

It pisses me off when people claim the right to free speech without actually knowing what it means. Free speech means you can express yourself in whatever manner you choose without the government punishing you. It does not mean you can say whatever you want without being questioned, without public backlash or civil…

On the palm of my hand so I can shove it in the face of everyone who cries about their free speech being violated when in reality we just got sick of listening to their shit.

I need to record myself saying this: “The right to free speech protects you from government imposed censorship. It does not protect you from criticism.”

(Just FYI, the BonMorte account in this thread is an imposter troll. Dismissing is almost certainly the best option.)

I didn’t intend for my post to be rude, but I guess I missed the mark. I still maintain that there is a significant difference between just “retarded” and “mentally retarded” and you are being disingenuous if you say otherwise, but consider me informed of the timeframes and evolution of that diagnosis.

That song irritated the shit out of me when it was popular. The fact that so many people thought it was some kind of feminist anthem pissed me off even more. Nothing feminist about body shaming other women and calling them “skinny bitches.” And who give a fuck about kind of booty men want to grab onto at night?

What has happened to Jezebel? It feels like 25% of coverage is on the Kardashians and other celebrity-watching. There are plenty of other sources for this stuff - why on a feminist website?

“Mistakes don’t define you”.....except when you continue to make the same “mistakes” over and over again. Then it’s not a mistake. Then it’s your character. And, yeah, that defines you. Have a seat, Difficult Brown.

Yeah, I’ve had similar support. I don’t think we need to feel bad about it, but we also shouldn’t pretend that “we built this” all by ourselves. That’s what’s frustrating, the silver spoon kids lecturing the rest of society about personal accountability. I’m thinking, in particular, of someone like Romney complaining…

What? You’re not in a position to do that yet? Are you thinking exclusively in terms of donating money? Donating money is one thing, but I’m also talking about things like: How do you vote? What do you buy? How do you live? What do you teach your children? What’s your relationship to your community? How do you offer…

Don’t feel bad about it. The most important thing is to acknowledge that you received the help rather than railing against assistance for other people who haven’t been as fortunate. There’s nothing worse than someone bragging about how they did everything on their own with no public assistance (bootstraps!) while…

It’s the people who don’t acknowledge or understand how much they’ve been helped that I just don’t understand. Do these people not have ANY friends of different economic backgrounds than themselves? I’ve seen friends struggle with crushing student loans, driving cars that cost more to repair than they would to…

You’re missing the point as usual gawker looking for outrage. Sheen is a story not because he has hiv, but because he knowingly risked the lives of his partners. He’s a disgusting excuse for a human being. You should really check out the interview with his then girlfriend on Howard Stern (bree Olson I think is her…

Oh, please! Let’s not suddenly start looking up to this guy and using him as a spokesman for anything. He’s a jerk who got a disease. That does not eradicate his previous behavior. As for not disclosing one’s HIV status to a partner, it should be criminalized. However, I feel that way about all STIs, not just HIV.…

Wait —- there are advocacy groups fighting against HIV disclosure laws because the “risk of transmission exists on a spectrum”? WTF? WHY would anyone advocate for non-disclosure? Non-disclosure could be a murder sentence, and even if the victim doesn’t contract HIV it’s still rape if there is sex without informed…

See, I don’t think he’s scum for having HIV - I think he’s scum for having unprotected sex with people he’d failed to inform that he had HIV.
Risking other people’s health just so he can get off - scum. Selfish, evil, worthless scum.

It’s weird how our leading voice in medicine seems uneducated in this area.
