If you’re not from Brazil, it’s hard to understand the magnitude of this tragedy.

so now we can’t make dirty jokes or say awful things in private? This is embarrassing. As a liberal, this language policing and witchhunting is part of the reason people bailing on the party.

And this is the school’s business why again? Policing private conversations? Remember when progressives claimed to try to defend unpopular opinions? I mean, sure it was bullshit then and it’s bullshit now, but the lack of consistency is startling...

Oh my god! College boys talking a bunch of dumb shit privately, amongst themselves!!!! Burn them!!

If that’s the case, then why have a problem saying “All Lives Matter” instead?

From a legal standpoint, what did you expect? I understand a lot of people think he is guilty, which is fine. But I’m not sure why people are shocked that he skirted talking about a pending legal matter. He could have just been a dick and declined to comment, would that have been better or worse?

I’m not really sure how it works it Florida or with public entities involved, but that’s not uncommon with settlements. FSU could genuinely believe that they were in the right and would have won the case, but it comes down to cost. 950,000 to end this now, 2,000,000 to fight it and win, 2,950,000 to fight it and lose.…

Look, this all begins and ends with Ridley’s quote on the subject. The movies about Egyptian gods and Biblical stories wouldn’t get made with Mohamed Saad Ahmed or Gila Almagor in the leads.

In college, I had a finance professor tell me that “if you have a client who wants to invest in social responsibility, tell them that you’d be breaking the law managing their money that way.”

“Socially responsible” mutual funds have not only underperformed the S&P since their inception but have badly underperformed the…

Why? Do non-whites have some other way of drying their hair quickly?

Micro-aggression? The only aggression I see is in your article. IBM is clearly trying to help and get women involved - clearly you’re not the target audience (an existing engineer). Could they have created a better campaign - of course. Until proven otherwise, it may be helpful if you go through life assuming good…

I don’t see IBM saying that women can ONLY be interested in science as long as pink stuff is included. They use the color pink and hairdryers because those are items generally associated with women in our society. Everyone knows guys can wear pink shirts and use hairdryers but it just isn’t that common.

Stop whining about people or companies trying to make a difference. I think you are missing the point.

Isn’t he Chaldean?

You made the assertion, so the burden of proof is on you. That’s how logic works.

I’m not lying. Provide a link proving the SA, Willie Meggs, accused FSU and the police of conspiring to suppress evidence, or admit you’re wrong.

All the witnesses. She had friends who made statements as well, which weren’t consistent with some versions of her story. Casher was found guilty of a student code of conduct violation for making a video. Insuring it couldn’t be viewed by others made sense. You can speculate but it’s impossible to conclude what it…

I’m very familiar with this story. Weigh the actual evidence, the full stories from all witnesses, the toxicology and medical reports, all the different versions of the story told by the accuser. Mistakes by the cops don’t equal guilt, or some conspiracy to hide the truth. A highly competent, independent, eminently…

The problem isn't that stupid people (again, read: poor) are having too many children.
