Well, you were speaking in absolutes. Which (if it were actually correct) would mean what I said wasn't a false equivalency. Obviously you can have one without the other - clearly the racial/cultural homogeneity helps.

Really? Any aggressive police states in, say, Scandinavia?

Goddammit, Shaquille O'Neal is magical.

Sigh. She is literally shitting bricks. Thank you Miz Woodley.

I saw it when perusing Instagram last night. (Shit, I just admitted to following Franco on Instagram. Anyway.)

Some reason we didn't get the dirt on Jason Priestley's 90210 Confessions from US?

I think a lot of people don't understand that when we talk about these issues—blackface, rape jokes, the appropriation of marginalized cultures, and so on—we are having an ethical conversation, not a legal one. There is no thought police. No one's coming to your house and carting you off to Insensitivity Prison. But…

Right, I get that. J.D. here. I absolutely agree with your concerns but this case defines the case *for* strict liability in this context.

Google Chrome incognito mode is your friend.

Mmmmm, I think "mansplainer extraordinaire who loves to 'just play devil's advocate for a minute here" describes the vast majority of libertarians. Except I'd also add racist. But that is a whole 'nother can of worms.

Don't respond to him - just a troll.

Respect. I do not think it means what you think means.

"A woman's sex drive goes right down when she's in a stable, committed relationship"

Jesus, you really think anyone believes that you're "an electrical engineer who volunteers at a middle school" with the level of maturity and utter lack of social competence you're demonstrating here? Adorable.

I am so over this trend of high school boys/young men trying putting female celebrities/athletes/etc on the spot to go on a date or prom. Jesus Christ. No.

LOL. Let's not get hasty here, recall that I'm shocked at having missed a celebrity death. This is an anomaly.

It's like these people have never seen NPH's instagram. He, his hubs, and the twins are like the gay Cleavers.

Poe's Law. Look it up! :)

What is it with right wing trolls and their randomly capitalizing words, sporadic use of punctuation, and awkward choices in syntax?
