Seriously? Microsoft’s pricing might be confusing, but it doesn’t justify outright theft. There are free alternatives if you don’t want pay.

It’s a shame, you know? This judge had such a bright judiciary career in front of him, it is just a shame that this one little verdict will mess up his entire future.

That discussion is for the consideration of non-violent offenders. Not for rapists. Is your comment a joke? Am I missing something?

What a thoughtful and well-written response. I’ve said this a lot in conversations with friends, but this juror’s statement is another example of how this was a “good” case - as in, there were eye witnesses, the police did what they should have done, the jury did what they should have done - and yet the punishment…

Yes....and because you don’t, then no one else ever does either, right?

The older I get, the more I believe in “an eye for an eye” especially for the abuse of the weakest in society, especially children or animals.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with us that makes us destroy ourselves, often by targeting the most vulnerable among us?

A culture in which a mother burns her own daughter alive should’t be criticized? Fuck off with that moral relativism bullshit...

Or you know - we could hold both Islam and Christianity accountable. It’s not an either-or situation. And Islam is not connected to race, so there’s that too.

Well, feeling entitled to anything/anyone you want probably makes you pretty happy. It’s easy to be happy-go-lucky if you’ve never had to admit any wrongdoing or suffer any consequences for your actions. I’d be happy-go-lucky too if I thought I was untouchable and didn’t give a fuck about hurting others.

But how!?!???? Almost like you are responsible for your own actions!?!??

Women who drink are asking for it. Men who drink can’t help themselves.

I was just thinking the same thing! What if someone stole his identity with a few keystrokes and voided his bank account in a matter of seconds? What if someone stalked around his house and took things of value in 15 minutes? What if a gun was fired and shot him in the head in a matter of seconds? 20 minutes can be…

“By having people like Brock educating others on college campuses is how society can begin to break the cycle of binge drinking and its unfortunate results.” - holy shit, does he really think the only lesson anyone should take away from this is not to binge drink??? How about DON’T RAPE

Was coming here to say the same thing. Seriously, he’s talking about how his poor, precious pumpkin won’t ever enjoy steak again?

There are, of course, people who are forever judged by 4 seconds of their lives. 20 minutes is time enough to enjoy a sitcom, a quick meal, a short walking of a dog, a shower, a bombing, an earthquake, a nap... 20 minutes is more than enough to be both influential and insignificant. 20 years can go to rot in 4…

Yet his supporters don’t see themselves as “racist.” They talk about how “PC culture” means that they can’t say anything without being called “racist.” They just see Trump as a straight shooter.

Calling the guy who just demanded the families of his enemies to be murdered a “relative moderate” should really tell you everything you need to know about american politics.

Looking back on it, he was kind of right about, like, everything...

It will have to.
