Great point. I think a lot of people fail to see the complex ways in which religion affects peoples lives and just default to the "religion is stupid" end. You can't help somebody simply by telling them they're stupid.

Let me be super clear about this: I think everyone should be allow to love whomever they want and be a religious person. I don't think that religious sect of any kind should discriminate against gay people. With that being said, I understand how and why a person might decide they want to live within their communities

No, Spelman said that the current recipients would just have the name changed to "Spelman Distinguished Scholars" or something similar. The people who have it now won't lose their jobs.

On some level I didn't want to believe either. This really hit me like "I mean...I KNOW he did this, but DAMN he REALLY did this shit!"

Yeah, this is the first one that the part of my brain that doesn't want to believe that Cosby could have done all of these terrible things while convincing America he was the opposite wasn't able to rationalize.

There is something so deeply deeply disturbing about reading these accounts...how calculated it all was. This is a man who knew EXACTLY what he was doing, had time to think about his actions, but instead made actual plans to rape women.

Whoah there. In the words of a very wise woman, "this is some real life heavy people for real died" type shit" so let's pull the brakes on implicating Mayweather's influence or involvement in this admittedly horrific situation. Mayweather is not a good man, but by all accounts ( I am only going off of this article)

You have a really low bar for "evil," don't you? Unless you're going to blame the headline on the editor, nothing in the article really argues that Rodman is evil in any real sense. Clueless, desperate for attention, and unreasonably entitled, sure, but evil? I'm not seeing it.

Wouldn't surprise me if this event had been deliberately orchestrated to prove that point, too.

I know.. my views are hated here....but...really.. come on. Can common sense please play a factor at all? Society should move forward. The creep should be prosecuted, but honestly.. you put 150 18-30 year old guys in a tube underwater for 6 months and you don't expect something like this to occur? There should be

Why is drinking Vodka alone while watching Futurama not an option?
