The more I learn about her, the more I see future President material.

Listen, you nerds, nobody pays 8 grand a semester to live in a closet that still smells like last year’s weed to NOT fuck. 

What are they supposed to do, just not have a gender reveal party? Or have one but not blow shit up? What kind of libtard gender reveal would that be? This was really the only reasonable choice.

mazel tov its a wildfire!

I feel like “don’t chop off pieces of people who can’t consent” is a generally good policy.

I didn’t say it was the same. I’m saying it’s a procedure done to someones reproductive organs, generally without their consent, motivated primarily by religious reasons, and neither one should be acceptable.

I would like to add that the results could very well be worse for women, but as long as we talking the ethics of one, I don’t see why you wouldn’t include both under the same umbrella.

I was wondering if anyone would throw this out there. Relieved it was only one person.

Maybe you’re right, but fortunately that’s not the standard by which we base punishments in our judicial system.

You can’t treat sociopathy.

A defining feature of mental illness, whether you’re talking about APD, schizophrenia, depression, or anything else, is that you can’t choose it.

Actually no. If you wanted to get at something that approximated a colloquial distinction between psychopaths and sociopaths, the closest you could get has nothing to do with a spectrums or violence.

Irrelevant. All kids are kids. We made a decision as a matter of policy, backed by sound science, that crimes committed by kids have to be treated differently. We decided that not only are kids presumed to be redeemable, we won’t even give ourselves the discretion to say that one isn’t. All kids should be given that…

I’m reasonably certain that if I asked 10 laymen for the distinction between the non-medical terms “psychopath” and “sociopath,” 1 would draw your distinction, 3 would say something completely different, and the remaining 6 would say they have no idea.

Yeah, good luck with the whole children deserve harsher punishment stance. Just when I thought I’ve read it all...

Charles Manson didn’t kill anyone. Graham Spanier and Lou Anna Simon didn’t molest anyone. Cardinal Law also didn’t molest any altar boys. Jerry Jones and Roger Goodell didn’t commit domestic violence.

Really?

You are almost the only voice of sanity in this entire damn comments section, so I’m going to reply to you.

Being ride or die for your friends, even when they’re accused of horrible things, is not a virtue. It’s the hallmark of rapey fraternities and crooked cops. I was never in the fraternity, so seeing men who are willing to turn on their friends when they behave badly is a sign that I might find some safety in a group.

Your rape apologizing is exactly why ALL of this happens. Society brushes sexual assault victims aside because it’s inconvenient.
