Have you actually read this case? Because I don’t think you know the full story here. I’m not defending internet trolls, but there’s no reason this man should be in jail whatsoever. These two women, however, should face repercussions (and I think they might with a civil suit for defamation of character).

You should actually look at the case. These women called this man a pedophile (with no proof), he lost his job (as a graphic designer) and these women were just as aggressive and in the wrong as he was. There’s absolutely no reason he should have been convicted of jail time. The transcripts show just how fucking…
Insightful and significant contribution. Thank you.
Yes, by other men. And when women are murdered it’s overwhelmingly also by men, not other women.
You guys need better protest culture. The fact that your streets aren’t constantly packed with people demanding gun reform is bonkers. France protests over everything - maybe take a page out of their book.
Woosh.
Pioneered by scientists years ago by.....cloning animals. Interesting.
It may not be pretty, but an absolute fuck ton of scientific research is done on animals and humans every day. We have to learn somehow.
Cloning could BE the research that helps lead to the cure or treatment of those diseases. But I suppose it isn’t the right kind of scientific endeavour, according to you, that 100k should be spent on.
How is it a stupid waste of money? They’ve contributed to a scientific endeavour that lead to the discovery of new information (they can successfully clone from DNA that is 12 days old).
You plebeians can talk about how foolish cloning is all you like. The fact of the matter is, this couple have contributed something significant to scientific research (it was the first dog cloned from DNA 12 days old) and their financial contribution has brought about new information about cloning that might have…
Having a spare 100k implies that this couple are likely very well off. OP has no facts about their lives. This couple very well could have donated millions of dollars to animal charities - and their successful cloning attempt could have very interesting ramifications for the advancement of scientific pursuits. They…
Drain your savings account and you could prevent the death of hundreds of dogs too. Bill Gates could probably prevent the deaths of all shelter dogs with his kind of wealth. I’m still not going to sit here and say “instead of investing in a machine that turns poop into water, Bill Gates should be rescuing every…
I’m actually extremely charitable - the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is one of my favourite charities. However, I would be completely annoyed and disgusted by someone who sees me spend a certain amount of money and then proceed to say “seriously? that could be better used elsewhere - do you know how many shelter…
Fair enough. But it seems so foolish to call out this couple when OP has zero facts. They could have donated millions of dollars and many hours of time already to animal causes. We have no idea who they are or what they’ve done in the past. They had 100k to throw at this - they could be very philanthropic. This…
It has been suggested that hunting with dogs gave modern humans a competitive edge against neanderthals:http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/m…
One hundred thousand dollars - if they have that kind of money to clone a dog who is to say they haven’t already donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to animal causes already? It is not your one hundred thousand dollars - you did not earn it. If Bill Gates decides to use 100k to renovate a room in his house, does…

If you want to stay tacky and gauche, stay tacky and gauche - that’s totally your choice.
