The problem is that now their insurance will probably lapse, and any planned vacation they may have already had will probably not be honored.

“Get your job done without being told.”

It’s a scale. Generally there’s a recognition that kid’s brains are developing, and it’s generally a scale about when and whether this person did develop enough to be cognizant than action was wrong and thus could be held culpable.

“He is clearly a candidate for not just college but probably for a good college,” Troiano reportedly said. According to the Times”

C’mon. We ALL know that if a sexual assault doesn’t happen:

Wonder how many “sexual assaults” (not rapes, obv) the judge committed in his good college days?

I just want to burn it all the fuck down.  

“Do not cause a scene or complain openly in the workspace” sounds WAY too close to an EEOC violation for comfort. 

Charges against the man who allegedly shot her in the stomach, Ebony Jamison, were filed and then dismissed.

Ugh, what a nightmare. I feel for Taylor, because while the music industry has always excelled at exploiting young artists at the beginning of their careers, selling their catalogs to their sworn enemy just seems like an extra dose of evil fuckery. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, comes out of her…

For dresses or skirts with really high slits...

Agreed. The pressure would absolutely come from outside the monarchy. For one thing, a lot of people who are interested in the monarchy are also deeply conservative. It’s hard enough when royals are straight, and it’s fairly obvious that public scrutiny made William and Harry miserable growing up. Paparazzi basically…

I’m not sure I get the snark over William’s comments (beyond the legitimate discussion about the word “decision”). He acknowledged that the issues would be the result of society’s failures and that’s something we all need to work to change. Given the scrutiny Meghan has faced, undoubtedly in large part because she is…

I just feel so awful for the majority of those child stars and what they’ve been through. After all we’ve heard about Nick and Dan Schneider, I can only imagine what she has experienced. It is a shame, because she has such great comedic timing, but a career outside the industry is likely the best way to stay healthy.…

This is slightly off-topic because there is a LOT to say about the Ks treatment of Jordyn, but was anyone else seriously disturbed (though not surprised, given the family’s intense dysfunction) that Tristan threatened to kill himself to get out of being accountable for his behavior, and that he apparently does this…

So is God.

God I am so sick of people.

Yeah, unless u believe most rapes are done by strangers, this doesn’t work.  Which is really the only type of rape conservatives actually believes happens. 

Sooooo ... trying to follow the logic how these heavy-duty assault weapons protect women.

Sorry but the day you need a gun for empowerment is the day you probably need to take a long introspection within. And yea, I talk men as well as women.
