You’re absolutely right that responsibility for cheating is on the cheater and no one else, but I’ve always regarded the Other Party in an affair as pretty stupid. Unless it’s a polyamorous relationship, a person screwing around on their partner is a POS and is showing you exactly how they would behave in a…

Except Anthony was saying it about his wife. As in “She’s married, but I don’t consider myself married, so I can fuck around all I want”.

Boarding schools have two separate lots of staff - teaching and house. Teaching staff teach, work normal school days and then go home. House staff look after the kids and work while the kids are out of school. The days when the same individuals did both jobs are long gone (except in the Harry Potter books). There…

I went to a boarding hostel in Australia; we boarded at the institution and went to the local public highschool. I got a much better education than I would have living at home, because I lived in a rural area that simply didn’t have a high school. The closest one was 45 minutes away by bus, and so small that it only…

I hope that child services are involved as well. Anyone who would do this to their own child is not a fit parent.

Absolutely not. It sounds like you have more knowledge/experience than me regarding whether or not the information would have been used to out and harass the students, but I had a different reading of the article. I understood that school administrators objected to the questions for “moral” reasons, and the…

I can see why you view suicide as a selfish act. My husband killed himself, and it was YEARS before I could view it as anything but selfish. He created a mountain of shit that I (and our children) had to clean up, while he was safely out of it and past caring. Hi ho.

What would happen if an ordinary citizen outright lied to the FBI on their goddamn security forms?? This is such bullshit.

OMG. You are absolutely, completely right!

I see your reasoning.

If you give oral sex to someone with HPV, it can give you mouth and/or throat cancer. If you have a dick...the same strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer, can also cause cancer of the penis.

And apparently no-one’s told him that kangaroos aren’t docile animals. When threatened, they balance on their tails and kick forward into their opponent’s belly. That roo might not be big enough to disembowel him, but its kick would be at a fine height for his genitals. Bad, bad idea.

What should I educate myself about? Religious practices of the ancient Celts? Helicopter engineering? Molecular biology? I must ask you to be more specific.

I’m adding “pointing out bullshit arguments” to this discussion. I’ll stop pointing out logical fallacies when you stop making them.

The French government isn’t banning the ads. They’re saying the ads can’t be shown in public places. They’ll still be available on the Internet, in fashion mags etc. Anyone who wants to see them will be able to. Anyone who doesn’t can opt out.

I say again - this is not what about what you can see, but where you see it. The ads have not been banned. Anyone can pull out their phone and look at them anywhere they like. They are now “opt in” rather than “impossible to avoid”. So those who want to look at them, can. Those who want to avoid them, can. This…

My instant thought...one (or more) of them have been raped by football players, the rest are willing to act as witnesses and this is an pre-emptive strike by the university to discredit them. Hope I’m wrong.

Oh honey. The only content of my post was regarding the logical fallacies in yours. Your reply is a Straw Man fallacy, arguing against definitions of sexism I did not make. You have achieved Logical Fallacy Inception. I am impressed.

It’s a balancing act. Keeping the ads up also dictates what people do; it means they have no choice but to see these images as they walk down the street. The images themselves have not been banned, and I imagine they’re still freely available on the Internet and on fashion magazines for those who want to see them. …

God, I get so sick of explaining to morons that “free speech” does not mean “Everyone has to like what I like and let me say it all the time, with no repercussions”. The French government is making sure that people are not being forced to look at images they may not want to, in public spaces. It’s actually increasing…
