It doesn’t have to be a matter of “believe” anyway. We support the accuser and his right to be heard. If it turns out to be a lie, we’ll support the next accuser anyway.

YUP. Here’s the thing, people aren’t completely good or bad. A charming, funny person can be a rapist. A pedophile can make enjoyable music or films. Their ability to be funny over twitter does not mean you know them.

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

Armchair psychology incoming. If I had to guess, she felt alone in that the only female people who actually”knew” her were electronic contacts. The harassment was a method of binding the people to her as a support during a mental health crisis. Not saying that excuses it - it’s basically domestic abuse behavior and…

Was Shirley Temple a Nazi? Probably not but Hitler was known to have a collection of her movies at his private residence. There is a very good chance that Hitler would have never gained the charisma and charm to assume power of the Third Reich without Temple’s movies. But is it fair to blame the holocaust on Shirley…

Lol you’re trying too hard with this one. Idgaf about Taylor Swift, but to suggest she’s in the wrong for having her team reach out to a blog to tell them to stop publishing stories about her being a Nazi sympathizer based off some completely ridiculous analysis of some fluff pop song, is patently absurd. Your issue…

You’ll notice, if you ever look, that the scholars who brand the Roman cities as leeches tend to be conservative. Whether they are Whig “Back to the Land” Brits, or modern American red-staters....they usually either are consciously looking for parallels between the ancient empire that founded the West and the current…

It’s an EVERYTHING cooker. I can cook a whole 5 lb chicken in 34 minutes, carve the chicken, add a bit more water, put the bones back and then make like 6 cups of stock in 30 minutes time while never needing to turn on a burner or dirty multiple pans. I can do the same with my dutch oven IN the oven but I would have…

Cosby has been drugging and raping women for a good four decades and still has yet to be convicted of anything. That is power.

I’m 40 years old and no one has ever told me where I should and should not put my pasta water. I guess we’re not all pipe geniuses.

The terrible thing is that modern plumbing doesn’t support the actual ways that people use their sinks. If you make pasta, you’re going to pour boiling water down the sink no matter how grumpy plumbers are about it. Pipes should be ok with that.

I made a burner account just to mock the idiots that took your comment seriously. This is why our country is circling the toilet - we’re not even smart enough to get incredibly, incredibly obvious sarcasm anymore, let alone fix our myriad national problems.

he doesn’t want a partner - he wants an accessory, a bauble, a thing he can look at other people and say, look at this thing that i have and you don’t. 

I think OP is implying that Wall may have been following a new, possibly juicy lead that could have gotten her killed. Not that she should be blamed for deciding to board the sub.

Tough crowd, lol. You’re like, something in this story doesn’t check out... why did she get on the sub w/ that played-out creep? And they are collectively like BURN THE MURDER/RAPE APOLOGIST

I was thinking about his civil rights activism. To me, it seems that it all worked to serve men. He fought for sexual freedom (for men to freely enjoy women), he fought for women to get the pill (so that pregnancies wouldn’t hinder men’s sexual activities with women and men wouldn’t have to worry about being…

I didn’t think humanitarian aid after a massive disaster was “political bullshit”, but apparently even helping other human beings is now partisan.

That is a terrible misuse of snake oil. It’s for FRYING snakes. For curing snakes you want snake salts.

What does the reason the Democratic Party supports DACA have to do with this though? Every political party does what they do to get votes. The problem is that 1 party is doing something that most people find reprehensible and immoral to get the votes, while the other is not.

True, but it feels nice to be on the side of attempts at manipulation not founded in malicious sociopathy and eugenic nativism.
