Agree except with the bit about settling, And the “cunt” bit... Settlements are always about the lesser of two evils. Lawyers settle if the calculus favors it. As for mochadevilgirl, this person may be a troll, but the argument has some basis n reality. It doesnt *at all* fit in this case Though. As others have…

@RandomGuySomewhere, I partly understand your reasoning here. I certainly agree that the prosecutor and Ms Consrant would approve of immunity if her case was the only one within the statute of limitations, since an immunity deal would be likely her only hope for some semblance of justice, but IIRC her case wasn’t…

It’s almost as if reasoned, well thought out rules of engagement lead to a peaceful resolution with everyone ON BOTH SIDES alive. Shooting it out with the Iranians cause “merica” and “these colors don’t run” or any other other bumper stickeresqe slogan thing, would have been reckless and stupid. Following the…

I don’t believe that a work strike by LeBron would accomplish anything except bring more visibility to the movement. While this is important and may even accomplish something, I can’t see how sacrificing the immeasurable good he can do by continuing on his current path is worth that. I disagree EMPHATICALLY that he…

I agree wholeheartedly with you in principle. Even mostly in practice, but expecting LeBron to throw his career away in a totally futile gesture which would potentially hurt his struggling city and those living there who are least able to bear that hurt is senseless. If the D.A. refuses to indict even with this video…

After I read the article title, I already started writing a long winded rebuttal in my head. After actually reading the article though... LeBron can’t solve all of our communities’ problems. NO ONE PERSON CAN. For me Muhammad Ali is the athlete against whom I measure all others when it comes to support of matters of…

Rereading this, It strikes me that I could be more clear. Brevity as a result of device I’ve chosen to use to comment hasn’t served me well in this case...

YES! And this point needs to be made again and again irl too. I get that it’s difficult to assume a janitor is on the same intellectual or cognitive level of a world class mathematician, but far too many people in a position of power have the same difficulty comparing an ivy league graduate to someone who graduated…

Because the movie allowed it to become tiresome? His first episode was shocking, but made sense cause the dark side was always supposed to be the emotional side as opposed the more regimented light side of the force. Vader often seemed somewhat close to losing control but he never did, I always assumed because losing…

That was my first reaction too, but I had to consider WHY. Partly it’s because I’m just numb to reports of athletes taking PEDS. It’s not as bad for an individual athlete when MANY athletes use them, right? There’s also the fact that Manning being a player who generally avoids rather than dealing punishment, AND he…

I’m sure we would if not for the prevalence of non guaranteed contracts. It is an absolute travesty that the biggest, richest, sports league in the U.S. won’t ensure its players the security of honoring a valid contract that the player MUST honor, but instead will cut them as soon as the pros and cons chart goes the…
