I wouldn’t work there for twenty million dollars and the gate to heaven.

Do you have a link to the article? It sounds really interesting.

I’m dismissing this comment only because I don't want to derail the thread. Everything you say is spot-on, though.

If this was in a paper you wrote, I’d love to read it.

I don’t think the irony is defeated, even though what you say is true.

I will stick my neck out and say that it *is* inevitable that even with proper oversight, evil, abusive thugs will worm their way into organizations and will proceed to act out their pathological desires. My jaw drops when people suggest that the innocent person’s presence was the problematic factor, and THEIR removal…

I’ll admit, that’s really the rub, isn’t it? How do you staff an organization of people whose job is to kill people to further the aims of a nation-state, and keep out the people who are inherently violent? I suppose you can’t really leave it up to the honor system. You need a crap-ton of oversight and discipline to…

It’s one of the world’s great ironies that a woman in the military is more likely to be raped by her commander than an enemy combatant. And it’s funny, in the blackest, most twisted gallows-humor sense of the word “funny”, that a lot of people hear about this, scratch their hollow pates, node sagely and say: “Well,…

Abusers are often paranoid and controlling as hell. No way one of them wouldn’t notice that dot!

That was the most wrongheaded aspect of it.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Considering it’s really rare for her to be in a picture where she isn’t sticking her tongue out, I’m surprised I didn’t notice it before now either.

I don’t know why someone would hate “black names”. Some black people have so damned little that the only agency they even have is what they name their kid. Shaniqua isn't any harder on the mouth than Evalynne.

I wasn't here for the first time this was posted, so thank you for posting it again. I bought a book by a guy who does this sort of thing all the time. He just likes exploring buildings and places you aren't allowed into. Excellent read. http://www.amazon.ca/Access-All-Are…

That is the smile of someone who can’t hide how happy they are to be getting so much attention.

You just reminded me of something the Silver surfer said once:

I’ve been in situations like this.

Well, she’s sugared her pockets pretty nicely by holding those views. If hypothetically, Stepin Fetchit were to turn down an opportunity to portray George Washington Carver I’d understand his decision, too. Caracatures always know what side their bread is buttered on.
