Ooh yeah, I would totally read a book about how he came to his new conclusions.

All he’s doing is moving the grift to a new crowd. Don’t ever be fooled by these types. Leave them to rot. 

Even though my parents were incredibly religious - I mean hell, my dad is an ordained southern baptist pastor - they *never* once pushed this stuff on me at all. It started gaining traction right when I was moving into my teen years and there was a big emphasis on the True Love Waits thing. But it’s like my parents…

I grew up (non-Mormon) in a predominately Mormon town, and allllllll those kids were doing butt stuff. The idea being that they were still preserving their virginity for marriage. So I guess “sodomy” is cool so long as it’s only the straights that do it.

not to be crass, but do you mean pooper? as in, butt stuff is ok?

Could be worse - he could’ve been in Brazil:

First, an incapciated person can’t give consent. Second, even if your argument is true, she is a CHILD and cannot consent. Third, it’s no one’s fault but the rapists. And fourth—why do you keep going on about mom, but not dad? Where the hell was dad? (extra bonus answer since you didn’t bother to read any of the…

Well, I can add this to the list of reason why you won’t ever see me on one of those damn boats. I’ll put it somewhere between “they are health and safety nightmares” and “my idea of hell is being trapped with other people and no way out.”

Probably. It may even attract people with that predation mindset. This was a coordinated attack. They found their victim, got her drunk then lured her to the room. They may even have done it before on another cruise ship or on land at a resort or something. Combine lax security, open waters and a system where the…

Is it that people think they can do things that they wouldn’t be able to do at home?

Sidestepping the whole legalisation-of-surrogacy thing, which is a topic that’s very interesting but which I am not qualified to speak on (except maybe to say those payments seem low for the work and risk, and that especially in the States the prospective parents should definitely have to pay for serious health…

Yeah, this dude should currently be protected like the crown jewels, dude has some serious dirt on powerful people that needs to get out.

I do if he doesn't name some very key names first.

Well sure, if you don’t mind them looking like this...

This. PR departments only need to convince their higher ups who likely are clueless that they are doing something. So what do they care if the influencers are real or not? Particularly since follower count is the only metric that their bosses understand and care about. PR social media “experts” are just as full of…

I wouldn’t be shocked if some of that is an MLM style scheme.

The challenge for brands/marketing departments is that influencers are nothing more than the latest attempt to bridge the gap between the marketing decision makers, who are invariably older than the audiences they desire, and the audiences they desire, who are invariably young and otherwise not interested in listening…

When my daughter was still a toddler, we told her something about how people have babies after they get married. When my sister-in-law got married shortly after, my daughter spent the wedding watching intently for the moment when the baby got made.

I don’t even need to look her up to know she is/was a communications / broadcast major.

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around that proud recognition that black people kill more black people than the police do as I don’t even know what the point there is supposed to be. Especially considering that it is comparing a group of people to a profession that is supposed to be protecting the community. There’s…
