If the third point is verified, McGregor would lose some of my support, but just the flight from Iceland to NY alone would be a massive disruption of his routine. My dislike for McGregor is on record here another places, but I think he’s right here.

I’m convinced that you don’t have more stars either because people are too dense to grasp that what you say is absolutely true or because they truly believe that bootstraps remedy *everything*.

Do you realize that your proposed solution - fewer or no kids - would be more realistic if sex ed wasn’t restricted to abstinence only, if birth control were freely or cheaply available to all, and if DAMN near every state wasn’t severly limiting access to abortions to the point that they are impossible to get in big…

Right. Our education system is a joke, so let’s pay teachers MORE.

Honest question since I haven’t found anything supporting Kesha or dr Luke, is there a primer somewhere which outlines this case including some sort of evidence that he is guilty? We all know record execs and producers can be creeps. We all know that people in general are hesitant to make reports which go against…

More important like working crazy hours and/or multiple jobs in order to keep ones children Fed, clothed, and sheltered? More important like trying to improve ones circumstances by going back to school and/or by taking advantage of any number of industry or on the job training or networking opportunities? These things…

I read this cause Beth looks interesting, and pleasant in the photo. The post shows her to be interesting, pleasant, AND witty. I’m finding that this series is really full of useful tips,tricks, and tools. Thanks for that.

OMG, me TOO. K. Lemar isn’t my favorite rapper, but the message, the lyrics, the pure depth of emotion in his songs....

Did you miss the part where she moved on with her life until Peyton and Archie Manning disparaged her in their book, IN VIOLATION OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT SHE FAITHFULLY OBSERVED?

While I am generally speaking fully in support of charging reckless firearm use, I’m curious about what specifically triggered these charges. Is it because *ANY* accidental discharge is by definition, reckless? Was there something that he said which revealed recklessness on his part? Does this signal a crackdown on…

BULLSHIT. I am under zero obligation to risk my life, depriving my family, friends, and coworkers of my presence to prevent harm to someone else. I’d definitely feel guilty if someone was hurt and I felt it was likely that I could have prevented it, but I ain’t dying for the *possibility* that I may have been able to…

I think it’s probably reasonable to expect the hotel to give employees some training for how to respond to issues which require a hotel security or police response.Not sure how likely it is that that training would be centered on avoiding liability rather than guest safety, probably quite likely.

Not trying to pick a fight...genuinely interested in understanding your viewpoint. Where has he not acknowledged “being late to the party”? As the piece mentions, he’s said that he joined an already formed movement. He’s done so more than once.

I understand that sentiment, I really do, but when I saw him on the Daily Show he acknowledges that he joined an already organized movement. Naming every person who helped organize seems excessive.

I so fucking tired of this weak argument. It is demonstrably untrue yet it persists. I suppose because people of color working within the community mentoring and educating children, and countless anti gang, anti crime, and antipoverty efforts simply aren’t sexy enough to make the news.

Don’t do that. Don’t derail what is a much needed discussion by suggesting he is invoking male privilege to put himself in a gubmint job instead of women who were at the forefront of this movement. The piece mentioned that one of those women is one of his advisors, and no where does anyone suggest that those strong…

Given that there is a near ZERO possibility that Cosby is *not* a serial rapist, it pains me to say this, but... this ain’t right.

So much THIS. I found that I needed to be an expert on *everything* and only after buying did I realize that this is impossible. I didn’t catch the leaky windows, improperly slopped shower, poorly done drywall repair, persistent cigar smell in one room (how the hell did I miss that???!?!?!), already worn contractor…

More to it than “...see someone with whom you had a relationship move on and especially not with someone who was your friend...” that is mildly irritating to moderately anger inducing. What really pushes this into rage is imagining all the possibilities. This dude was a frequent visitor to his house when he was still…

“I guarantee you that when Latinos, African-Americans and Asians constitute a majority in twenty years, they’ll turn on whatever group wants to emigrate here too.”
