I think Tanq tastes cleaner! Bombay and Sapphire both have a slight sweetness to them that I don't like nearly as much, whereas Tanqueray is a much better gin with soda water (which is how I take mine at the bar). So much more refreshing and clean without the weird aftertaste.

I'm not real clear on why we are putting the onus on the NFL to handle this instead of the criminal justice system.

I was in a D/s relationship a few years ago, and yes, in my opinion this guy was a true sadist. He wasn't hurting her because she got arousal or pleasure from it, he was hurting her to cause genuine pain and suffering that pleased himself. There can be a fine line in these types of relationships, that's why being…

Likely the contract is a set of guidelines and justifications for getting what he wants.

You're focusing on the wrong thing, but I appreciate your attitude and snap judgement. Really helpful towards furthering the discussion there. I'm asking what the terms of the contract were - not whether or not they were acceptable, signed under duress, or broken.

Yeah, I'm not excusing any of his behavior and I do feel she was forced to sign the contract under duress. I'm just curious as to what the terms of the contract were. It sounds like a horribly dangerous contract. I appreciate your comment.

I just want to know what was in the contract. I have no doubt that she was pressured into signing and was then abused beyond the terms of the agreement. But my curiosity is based on the fact that a slave contract would have to be extremely specific and limited for me to agree to it. Because so many things can go wrong…

Asses are really having a moment. Minaj, J.Lo, Putin.

Let me watch it a few more times and I'll get back to you on that...

LOL my bf saw me watching this and went "You have problems."

Is EDM music the new ATM machine?

Agreed. One of my ex-flatmates told me a "funny story" about having this done to her, she thought it was hilarious, except for the week of burning pain. I couldn't see the humor.

If the accounts I've read are correct, Pierce originally only posted this on his own Facebook page, presumably to share with people he knew about the awful thing that had just happened to him. People reacted very strongly, obviously. Pierce's boyfriend then posted the video to Youtube, whence it promptly went viral,…

Yeah, as someone who's POS mother disinherited her for finding out that she's bisexual, I just ugly cried at watching the video.

YAY! That poor kid, I could not watch the video. My heart was broken just reading about it.

That's how my mom uses them. "Emma, you'll never believe it. I just heard the most interesting study on NPR about how 64 percent of girls your age have graduated from law school and are starting families with a nice Jewish boy."

I think most of the press is still running with the novelty, from their perspective, of Burning Man. Anything that happens there is interesting to them. Plenty of potential for injury or death there and always amazed at how well people self-regulate there most of the time.

SURFBOART!

Yea, I found that part kinda lame. It's all OK & funny when it's gross... but when it starts to become mean and cruel, then that shit sucks.

The tabloids cater to the lowest common denominator of sentient, reading, life on Earth.
