No, not at all obtuse. To spell it out for you, it seems that some people won't be satisfied until CB is dead and buried, which seems a bit much considering that he's apologized personally to Rihanna and apparently obtained some measure of forgiveness from her, admitted his guilt in a court of law, and adhered…

I think you're smart enough to know exactly the point I was making, which is why I graciously included the word, "willfully."

Thanks for being willfully obtuse.

I think some people need to examine how angry they are about a three-year old incident THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM. I don't think some people will be satisfied until they see CB beaten to a pulp, castrated, and disemboweled. Seriously, maybe they need to find other avenues for catharsis other than violence.

I've heard of it happening in car accidents. Sounds very unpleasant.

I do *not* see what people see in Ryan Gosling. He's just . . . regular. There is nothing outstanding about him at all.

Click bait.

I see what angle you're pulling for, but I can't give Romney a pass on this one. Yes, dogs did not have the cherished, almost-human like position that they enjoy now in our families, but generally, that meant that they were more likely to be off leash, to have table scraps or have to scrape for themselves for food, or…

The thing is, he committed a crime against the woman— if she wanted the child, and he knowingly beat her to make her lose it, he committed a crime against the woman, not the fetus, at least that's how the legislation *should* be written.

RAPE VIA MEDICAL INSTRUMENT. That should be the headline in every Virginia newspaper.

I always find it funny when people don't want to talk politics with their other-brained friends. I find the arguments stimulating since they usually can't back up their positions with logic.

The point I was making was not about pedophile feelings, it was about finding workable, realistic solutions that prevent re-offending. If being connected to society and able to easily reach his probation meetings and therapy makes him less likely to offend, doesn't it make more sense for him to be near those…

Yuck, indeed, but laws governing where pedophiles live won't affect those that choose not to comply, hence your situation. I live in a largish city, and the number of pedophiles and other sexual offenders who show up on a map would make your hair stand on end. There really isn't anywhere that they could live within…

They aren't "founders." They're "settlers." The Founders were generally religious (and some weren't), but not zealots which is how we got the First Amendment.

The next few months are going to be enormously entertaining.

It's not going to happen because your fear will motivate you to go door to door, make calls, and otherwise convince your fellow Americans to get off their butts and vote for Barack Obama. Don't get scared, get motivated.

Who are these religious zealots you speak of?

One thing that I don't understand is that statistic about "This number of pedophiles live within one mile of places where children are." Well, yeah. How about that? Pedophiles live in society, and societies have places where kids are. Pedophiles don't need schools, daycare centers, or playgrounds to re-offend. All…

If you understand that the primary mission of the Catholic Church is to preserve the Catholic Church, you'll be about 98% on your way to understanding why this happens.

Actually when you see pictures of her from before Newt's campaign, she looked a lot younger and more natural. This is her "I'm not a homewrecker" look.
