Good.

What’s the “end-run” around defamation laws here? Have they published anything that isn’t truth? They aren’t trying to silence his speech, but report on the guy’s motives and history, which he claims to be so proud of that the monuments need to be preserved. His reputation is that he’s one of the guys fighting to…

“It is not right or necessary to kill the baby to save the mother,”Yeah brilliant idea, if the mother is in that serious condition I doubt the embryo is doing much better. And even if it did, hey kid, you killed your Mom! All of this absolutely awful and shows how little shits these people give about women. This guy…

A court ruled she was born in 1989. 

Along with the idea that a woman whose body was ruptured and hemorrhaging due to an ectopic pregnancy could be more effectively treated by a doctor who pumped her with her own filtered blood,

Because the Southern losers like to pretend their Confederate heritage is all about pretty houses, Southern hospitality, Southern belles, horse races, bourbon and brave war heroes, without any reference to what their side was fighting for (slavery) or the fact that they fucking lost and can’t seem to get over it.

If you read the entire story behind this, there is overwhelming medical evidence corroborating the assertion that she’s an adult. At the very least, the system of safety nets (both in the adoption process and the psychiatric community) have failed both the adoptive parents AND the person at the center of this whole…

I’m confused.....

Display that Confederate heritage loudly and proudly; except when it doesn’t work for you.

There was enough evidence for a court, and medical tests showed physiology consistent with and adult with dwarfism not a child.

“I HAVE GREAT PRIDE IN MY HERITAGE UNLESS YOU MENTION IT AT ALL.”

“There’s nothing crazy going on or anything...”

Hey, there were also tax benefits for that- if he did it right he didn’t have to claim any of that as income and got a write off for donating it. I don’t know exactly how it works, so hopefully someone else can explain it better, but he absolutely benefited in more ways than one.

Kids with way better credentials than that get turned down by the thousands every year.

Some people just like the thought of licking the boot of the ultra rich. The fact that we have Billionaires is a failure of public policy. It’s sickening really, the societal reality that we’ve created for ourselves.

You’re not bothered by it? I’m not pitchfork wielding bothered by it, but I am bothered by it. My first instinct was “Well at least his bribery is at least legal and will surely benefit many other students.” But its fucking bonkers that there is a system of legal bribery in this country! And it’s fucking bonkers that…

The best part is that the bribes are tax-deductible. Just kidding, I’m sure this man doesn’t actually pay any taxes

Right? And what does “excellent student” even mean? I’m sure there are numerous kids who score in the top 2% on their standardized tests and have 4.0 gpas who will not be admitted. These kids are getting in because of the name of their prep school and the donations made by their parents. Meritocracy my ass.

“And the article also states that Shaw’s kids, who were privately educated at an “elite prep school” and also had access to tutors, probably didn’t even need the help, as they were “by all accounts excellent students.”
