But it doesn't change the evidence, which would be her bodily injuries and a recorded file (which for some reason, no one can find), but students have seen. It may "muddy" the waters, but it doesn't change the truth of the hard evidence they found.

PREACH!

I'm having the opposite reaction with my name. Lily. Super popular now, but not 30 years ago when Karens, Debbies, Jennifers, Nicoles, and Michelles ruled the day. I had the name everyone made fun of: "Lily Munster," or "Silly Lily."

Not wearing underwear means you're not wearing underwear.

I should read that; I thought it was in the Times.

The takeaway from this article is that no one in Steubenville learned anything at all about the incident and can't be bothered to feel remorse about it.

To me, the sentence about being from New York City is superfluous. I understand that Katie is painting a dichotomy that it's easy for all of us to sit in our ivory tower and judge, judge, judge. But, you have to write from somewhere. And, she did return to the town to get its perspective on the last year, and do you…

Katie mentioned an article from the Times, not the New Yorker. Did not fully read the Levy article, but the first two Times articles about the case in August 2012 were essential in blowing open this story to a national level. And those articles happened based on the work done by Goddard.

Yup. Katie took pains to give some townspeople a voice in this article, but the biggest point the article reveals is that, really, no one in the town learned anything at all from this entire tragedy.

Even though the town feels victimized and unfairly smeared by the press, many people of the town still feel the need to qualify the actions of those involved. Cody is the kindest kid, who made a mistake. Football players still get preferential treatment. The high school has assemblies about sexual conduct, but also…

I'm Chinese and everyone in my family has double eyelids too. I just saw the movie "Cloud Atlas" where some white actors played Asian parts, but Asians played white parts too, and men played women, etc. None of that bothered me, but what did bother me was how they made up the Causcasian men to look Asian. It was a…

Yeah, they took advantage of a $1.65 sandwich and milk. These sandwiches are already pre-made. They'd be wasted anyway. It's just a small amount of food to feed the kids who didn't have enough money that day.

I shouldn't be responding to you, and this will be my last post about this. You've missed the entire point of what I originally posted. I am not saying that the US has to accommodate the leaders of other nations and care about a Taliban leaders comfort when dealing with woman leaders.

Your reply is way out-of-line; I am not on the guy's side. I am saying that if he were smarter, he would have approached this as a discussion, not as quid pro quo.

I didn't see the clip, but in all fairness, his point is interesting. Not the "we can't have a woman president until Al Quaeda does," but the question of how would societies that don't value women react to a woman president in negotiations?" It seems that was the point of his crazy diatribe and it would have been…

And I don't even like pink myself! But my daughter does. She's not over-the-top about it, but she's got a few pink things here and there.

Agreed. Sometimes, I think this is Dodai Stewart's way of making an article out of something. Usually, I like her work, but now and then, there's this extension of observation that is annoying and literally, a stretch. Like the time she covered this new lingerie collection by some designer, but oops, it only goes…

Agree on the San Francisco tap water. The best, straight from Hetch Hetchy.
