These days, pointing out racism is equivalent to “making everything about race,” which somehow causes everyone to be more racist. Apparently, if we’d all just pretend racism didn’t exist, it wouldn’t.

It’s more like “We’re not racist, we just think that there are a few ‘good’ brown people that can stay, and a lot of ‘bad’ brown people that need to be kicked out! Since we like some of them, we can’t be racist because racists dislike all of them!”

It's the dry heat.

Forget it, My_Life_Is_a_Fart_Joke; it’s JezebelTown.

Not to be disagreeable, but I keep saying exactly the opposite of that: that the conduct your describe SHOULD be a crime. All I’m saying (and I’m surprised that this has become so controversial) is that I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a crime that consists of breaking into someone’s home with the intent to…

As long as all levels of escalation are crimes, think it’s appropriate for the offense targeting the higher level of escalation to be a greater crime

That’s an ethical obligation that would apply to other attorneys and not the press. For example, if I receive an email from opposing counsel and it appears that the email was accidentally sent to me and contains attorney/client privileged information, then I have an ethical obligation to erase said email and not use…

Yeah, but “pretentious” and “derivative” aren’t particularly forceful criticism. We know it’s derivative because its inspirations are splashed across the screen. Refn never set out to make an original work of art. Pretentious, as a critique, is just a lazy way of accusing somebody of ambition. If one argued that the…

I am a woman. I have a fantasy of being a little newspaper barker boy from the 1920's, wearing a jaunty hat and shouting “Papahs! Get ya papahs right heayah folks! Today’s headline is a real whoppah, see?”

If it makes you feel any better (it probably won’t — sorry in advance), people who say stupid shit like this about Lolita have rarely read the book. So Refn is pontificating about a book that he likely never read — I would bet my heart-shaped sunglasses on it

Like Lars Von Trier but even more tiresome.

“Earlier you said all men have a fantasy of being teenage girls. Do you still have that fantasy?”

Buzzfeed Quiz. If he were an ice cream he’d be a Dilly Bar.

That would be hideous if it were the case. As long as EVERYONE is reckless, NO ONE is reckless.

Fuck everything.

He intended to bully and intimidate and hurt a suspect, didn’t he? He may not have intended for him to die, but since when does that matter? Vehicular manslaughter is a crime without intent, so is criminal negligence.

Can a lawyer please explain to me how lack of intent impacts a negligence charge?
