But you can't change insane people. All you can change is what weapons you say it's okay for them to have.

...the dangers of egging a friend's car? Are you really suggesting that one of the rational assumptions one should make when deciding to prank a friend by egging is that one might be murdered?

Exactly. People subscribe to the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" school of thought here. But the thing is, you can't control who is crazy. You can't control who has a temper. All you can control is the dissemination of guns.

I read a great comment about female comedians on Jez a while back, about how men are put off by them because women are meant to be ornamental while men are instrumental. I think the same theory carries through here - it's okay for a women to be coerced into sex by a man and be there for his pleasure. But as soon as…

Right, but this woman's website is pro patriarchy. Patriarchy is about a social, political, and economic system. Systems don't apply to one person, which is the whole point of them.

Exactly. Women that have kids aren't suddenly passive beings with no preferences or desires. All that matters is she worked hard for a goal because she wanted it.

No one is telling you how to feel. I don't subscribe to the belief that now that she has a baby, nothing she ever wanted or worked for matters, but I don't have children so it's just not how I look at motherhood (from the outside). I also don't think of "including" a father in a baby's life to set an expectation that…

The only thing wrong is that they aren't the school she wanted to go to - who knows why she wanted to go to Columbia. I went to school in CA so I personally think it's fine, but I wouldn't have gone to a "better" school in the northeast if you had paid me to go because I just didn't want to.

Whaaaat? If someone (besides the bank) had tried to stop me from going to college, something my entire life until that point was spent working towards, it would have been a way bigger deal than anything else. She got into Columbia, so she obviously put in a lot of hard work and to have some epicly entitled douche bag…

I think you misunderstood my tone as rhetoric questions. That's fine - I know it's a common tone to take so I should have clarified more than I did. I didn't mean, "HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!!" I mean, "How can you, as in, what evidence to do you weigh and how?". I said I wasn't be rhetorical, so I'm not sure a better way I…

Love the Victorian-ness, hate the torture porn. It's too much for me! I tried to watch American Horror Story, but I thought the torture and gore (particularly of the slaves and women) was too much to handle. All my favorite channels have just gotten SO violent and they just show everything! I watched Rome the other…

HAHAHA how you can be PRO patriarchy? Mercy.

Well, it makes sense when you realize sex and your vagina are only there for men. And men are only there for marriage. I mean, there's no way you're be fucking your dude because you enjoy it or it feels good. There's no way to be with a man besides being married or having shameful "free" sex that isn't contingent on a…

Like how easy has your life been that this qualifies as a violation?

LOL this is the most negging apology ever

It is so funny how everything thinks about this differently, because those statistics make ME say, why NOT make it an across the board law that you don't need a cut off date if all the cases getting the procedure done are for those reasonable reasons? Two sides of the same coin, I guess :)

You're the only one called yourself evil or saying we hate you. Look, an enormous tenant of your party is maintaining the status quo. The status quo in this country values a white, male supremacy that give primacy to the wealthy and well-educated. So anyone that doesn't fit into that narrow population is someone, I…
