That’s a very stupid response.

I saw one strike during that clip that may meet that definition, but it wasn’t thrown by the drunken woman.

As the guy said, their “fucking jobs” are literally to deal with “shitty” people. I’m not sure why we all find it so difficult to say “hey, if a woman is sloppily flopping around and happens to smack you lightly on the face, you don’t get to knock the shit out of her while three of you have her restrained.”

Bruce Campbell could definitely pull of Tom Bombadil, right?

“I’d much rather they did The Silmarillion, which would benefit from the breathing space.”

“No way in hell”?? They literally already had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars making the other LotR movies, not to mention the budget HBO put into make GOT. I get what you’re saying, but the fact that the studios have already done it before shows that this remake isn’t some foregone conclusion. The success of…

For chrissakes, I LOVED the trilogy more than just about anyone, but there are hundreds of great, epic fantasy series just waiting to be turned into a big budget TV show. The mere fact that LotR and GOT have done so well should show executives that great source material combined with great talent and big budgets can…

I’m not sure it was hitting the canvas with back of his head that hard that knocked him out...

I would have agreed with you, but it turns out that preventing the look of early onset aging is actually THE most adult thing of all.

Tricky to get straight cuts while actually fucking. Better wait until you’re done, and then give the safety razor a try. You should get a remarkably clean and smooth butt cheek from the experience.

Wait...the fewer the blades the better, so FIVE blades should do the trick?! I have pretty sensitive skin, but I bought a safety razor from the art of shaving a few years ago and haven’t had any issues since. Virtually no razor burn/bumps, ingrown hairs, etc. Plus, it makes me feel like the kind of guy who chops his…

I’m a government lawyer. Literally nothing better to do all day.

And it’s impossible to argue that someone shouldn’t have known that violently shoving a victim into the ground could cause serious bodily harm, such as a concussion. His injury wasn’t fluky- it’s not like he HAPPENED to hit a rock that someone had JUST AT THAT MOMENT thrown by his head. He was violently hit and fell…

It doesn’t matter whether or not he KNEW that slamming into someone could have resulted in that SPECIFIC harm. He launched his body at a defenseless fan in what is obviously a cheap shot. Claiming he didn’t know that could cause serious harm is ludicrous. No judge is going to agree that doing this to the fan…

The first is state a mind question- intent to hit him. The second element is not a state of mind. He was undeniably reckless- throwing himself at the fan is reckless behavior. The infliction of substantial harm is an objective question, not a state of mind- did it inflict substantial harm? Having to go to the hospital…

No. Just no. Thousands of people storm fields every season without football players maliciously assaulting them. That’s an absurd argument. Nothing the VICTIM did LED to the football player assaulting him. He launches himself at the fan, clearly establishing intent to assault him. There is no excuse for what he did.

It’d be tough to get past the precedent set in the case of Harry v. Lloyd:

The first amendment is implicated by governmental action. Freedom of speech is broader. We can have a society that promotes freedom of speech without needing the government to do so, just like we can stifle freedom of speech without implicating the first amendment. So yes, anyone saying that this is a first amendment…

“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to tell you stop saying it”...?

It’s amazing to me how defensive people get about this fact. I mentioned it casually at lunch with some coworkers (“hey, you know you really don’t HAVE to guzzle 8 8-ounce glasses of water a day”) and two of them angrily argued with me about it for like 20 minutes. They were so incensed that they would literally point…
