Actually, we should be abhorred that Fox so willingly publishes “news” like this when they are probably the single most viewed news organization in the MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

No. He will find a way to associate this with Clinton or Obama and try to prosecute them.

I’m going to share this with my in-laws, and when they inevitably say it’s fake news I will link them to the Navy Times and ask them if they are saying the Navy is lying about the Navy.

It becomes a grey area. I can’t speak for everyone, but if I ever have any doubt I just hold back. If someone is stumbling around all over themselves, but you’ve only had a drink or two, it’s probably smart to proceed with caution. I’ve just seen too many people get hurt...

I mean, I basically agree with you, but would you not agree that it’s better to offend someone by implying they’d like to be with you than it is to just assume it’s okay and start touching? That’s the difference we are talking about in this situation. I agree that aggressively seeking consent can elevate to sexual…

This is true. It’s a more subtle thing. If you kiss someone and they pull away or don’t kiss back. Full stop. Back up. Ask if they’d like to see a movie or something. Also, a golden rule. Never so much as touch someone in that way who is drunk (I recognize drunk can be a grey area), high, SLEEPING, or otherwise…

I don’t think Tarentino is asking for cookies though. I think he is just saying he could have done better, and influential men like himself need to step up to the plate.

I am about the same age as “Chris”, and one thing that went through my mind as I read this is that they never really taught us about consent back then. In no way does that excuse him. I picked up on it on my own, and always assumed everyone did because it should be obvious.

Unfortunately, I think every white person goes through a phase where they are totally ignorant of all manner of prejudice and privilege. During this time we make racist jokes and think that as long as we don’t actually call a black person the n word it’s fine to use it among ourselves, not realizing the harm this…

It’s like we are becoming the North Korea of countries.

What Trump said was very callous, or stupid, or both. However, he could have mostly fixed it by saying one thing: “I’m sorry. I made a mistake. Please have my condolences.” He was the one who made this into such a big issue by getting defensive, not Rep. Wilson.

Agreed! I’m not even mad at the ones in this thread I’m arguing with a bit about blaming the school. I’m just happy so many people caught on and got outraged, them included. I work for a university and we have to allow demonstrators too, so events like this get me just a bit anxious.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t care if he ever sees my side of the argument. Once you reach a place where you think such an extreme ideology is justifiable I don’t know if you can be brought back, and I don’t care because I don’t want you back. This isn’t a policy disagreement, these are people who support…

I mean, you really could just look it up yourself if you feel that strongly about it. Legal stuff is complicated and differs from state to state.

Do you have any idea what he even said? I’m going to assume not. That’s my point. The counter protest to this event was so strong that it completely shut him down. That’s a win to me and I’m sorry if you feel otherwise. You will never be able to make these guys just go away, but if we always respond like this we’ll be…

I have already posted this twice in this thread, but I can’t restrain myself you’re making me do it again damn you:

Sorry, I have to:

That would actually be fantastic. These are the guys who tacitly support this nonsense while loudly proclaiming otherwise. If you make the rule that nazis can only speak when they get invited by republicans they will have an even harder time divorcing themselves from such hateful ideology.

If your institution accepts government funds, they are generally bound by all state and federal guidelines for government institutions regardless of who “owns” them. I’m no lawyer, so I can’t cite a source on that but I can tell you from experience the same is true at the university I work for. Thankfully, we do not…
