“education for girls would have been far more of an efficient method of combating terrorism than the drone program”

Knowledge IS POWER. Yet, alas, the hubris-addled warHawks always dismiss and devalue this fact.

There are great statistics on the education of women and better well-being outcomes. All of those scenarios assume a little bit of culturally granted agency. I can’t imagine how education would have helped the these women.

I haven’t read the article. I don’t want to. The headline is shocking enough. I am very conflicted because I want America to do something about it, at the same time I do not want to send young men to die in the middle east. It is painful to say this but maybe we can’t fix the world (and yes I am aware that we have…

I never called it rape. I called it sexual assault. A university doesn’t pay $300,000 for a mooning. He shoved his ass, taint, balls and dick on her face and then wouldn’t let her move while others watched and laughed. I’m sure you're right though, he probably emerged from it as a better man

This isn’t a legitimate excuse. He violated the terms of the settlement twice long after he was out of college. Peyton Manning is a piece of shit.

If shit like that can be brushed off by “he was in college”, then maybe it’s time to reevaluate what the legal age of majority is.

Panton told Jezebel in an emailed statement. “Ted and I had many mutual friends who would usually stop by to watch movies, play video games, or even engage in long, fun discussions about politics, philosophy, and life.”

Did you just see “DC suburb” and assume “well to-do?” Because uh, Columbia is...not that.

They have enough to indict Snyder on. For now any Federal mandate that removes him from power would be sufficient in my mind, but an arrest should be forthcoming when a federal DA thinks they have enough ammo.

Plenty of other people have been arrested while due process takes its course.

An investigation has been conducted. Hence his release of the ridiculously redacted emails. He’s intentionally obfuscating his role in this and other people have brought forth evidence to show that this was known about years ago. I doubt it will happen, but I’m with Moore on this. Snyder deserves to be arrested.

I think Michael, you, and literally everyone sending bottled water are missing the incredibly obvious here.

The only similarities between those two situations is the fact that water is involved. Furthermore, you’re getting stuck on the fact that the EPA had a disaster on its hands. But you’re forgetting the many more occurrences of where the EPA successfully mitigated, or averted, disasters.

Can you really boycott a place no one wants to go to?

It was cold as fuck out there, and I say that as someone in the stands who was bundled up.

You, sir, have never been 20 minutes outside of downtown Seattle in any direction.

Land of ten thousand and one lakes. Need a place to put all those tears.

Still wish they’d gone with the outcome of the student vote — the Stanford Robber-Barons would have been too cool.

Can't blame her. This tweet could spring her into a 10th place finish.

China’s actually been moving much faster towards pollution reduction than anyone expected them to, because of the civil unrest in reaction to the smog and horrible air quality the cities have.
