The argument is (I assume) that a non-alcoholic chose to get drunk and so is fully liable for their actions while drunk. An alcoholic has a medically recognised condition that means they compelled to drink and so less liable.

I understand that having gender-equal laws doesn’t necessarily lead to gender-equal results, but flat out stating that inequality is enshrined in law is explicitly wrong. It’s a deliberately misleading statement. I know we don’t come to Jezebel for 100% journalistic excellence, but I expect it not to be quite as…

Japan is one of the few remaining industrialized countries to enshrine name inequality in marriage laws

I believe his argument isn’t that he fell into her and penetrated her, but that he never penetrated her at all and she pulled his hand between her legs which had sperm on it because he had just had sex with her friend.

I think there’s a bit of an ethical grey area with someone getting someone drunk in the hopes their inhibitions are lower and will sleep with you, but at the end of the day, being drunk does not absolve you of personal responsibility for your actions.

That was my take on it, it’s not a common phrase in the UK so when I see it on US sites I always assumed it meant unconscious. Not remembering the night before is just a common effect of alcohol for some people and for some people it doesn’t require a great deal of alcohol to get to this stage.

It’s cheap and cheerful. No-one’s name checking it like “check out my stylish Primark threads , yo!”

Wait, so blackout drunk means’won’t remember it in the morning’? How can you know if someone is blackout drunk rather than just drunk? If they are carrying on a normal conversation how could you know they were ‘blackout’ drunk?

Hunger Games: an inferior Battle Royale stretched over too many films.

If it’s any consolation (and I realise it probably isn’t). There are over 1100 schools in LA. Even if one of those schools were to disappear including everyone in it, there’s only a 0.1% chance that your child(ren) would be one of the victims.

So I told that teachin’ lady “The only letters I need to learn are U, S and A”

Christmas, albeit nominally about Christ, is the closest thing to an international multi-cultural holiday we have. It’s celebrated by Christians, Atheists, Jewish people, even a lot of moderate muslims. It’s so commercialised now even if some super powerful quasi-governmental agency spent billions on eradicating it,…

I’ve holidayed in Malta so many times :) A Maltese friend owned a bar in Buggiba and rented out apartments. Used to do tours around Comino and Gozo too.

I’m of the honest opinion, that, at this point there is exactly fuck all that can be done to decrease the rate of mass shootings in the US. So, armed, unarmed, it really doesn’t matter.

Well, the company already sponsors most 飲み会 (Business drinking). If you can get the government to sponsor your social drinking you may never have to be sober again. And you can rest easy (albeit dizzily) secure in the knowledge you did it for your country.

Well, the former isn’t required for the latter. Poor impulse control and half-price tequila on ladies’ nights is required for the latter.

Well the law as written is gender-neutral.

“anymore”

How is little Bottom these days?

There is only one acceptable answer: Lego
