Because it appears either I understand common sense and cause and effect much better than the person that wrote that book, or you misunderstood the conclusions that were reached.

That’s all very interesting and worthwhile to do. It gives a great insight into the minds of people that have been through it. It also doesn’t change the fact that just because they couldn’t articulate why they cheated doesn’t mean there wasn’t a reason. People don’t do hurtful things to people they care about for no…

Where I disagree with you is the notion that cheating is some uncontrollable out-of-body experience, like somebody cast a spell specifically over your ability to be committed to the one you supposedly love. I know the urge to cheat is there, it’s always there. I mean, shit, I’m a 29 yr old man in south florida with a…

Ok but right now he’s tweeting about the importance of education and lowering textbook costs and paying teachers better, so like, what can I say? Those are good things to be tweeting about.

Scalia’s view on Roe v. Wade was that it should be overturned, because our founding fathers didn’t go around having abortions.

That was my thought too. I remember earlier this year, Kobe Bryant criticized one of his teammates for “going to the hole like a light-skinned dude.” I’ve seen other implications that the stereotype is darker-skinned black guys = tougher and more athletic. I wonder if biracial black men feel like they need to…

Haha! I think it’s more complicated than that where racial identity is concerned, but there’s some truth to the notion that men are not as good at describing physical traits in general. In my experience, if you ask a man to describe another man, he will say something like, “I don’t know. Tall- medium tall- with brown…

Probably something along the lines of “I’m glad National Signing Day was last week instead of next week”

It’s not about her not liking him. It’s actually not about him at all. It’s about Hollywood insisting that they can’t hire diverse actors because they need a huge star and then on the other hand putting white actors who aren’t that big in lead roles to try to force them on the public as big stars. It’s about people…

Not to me it doesn’t.

I mean is it possible in very few circumstances? Yeah. Will it ever be common for a white woman to tell an average black dude to check his privilege? Probs not.

Full Disclosure: I’m a oldish white woman.

It’s harder to be a white woman in Hollywood than a black person. Said some dumbass white woman a week or so ago.

Even then, wouldn’t the statement better be articulated as “people with multiple kids who don’t take care of them”? You’re needlessly gendering things, especially given that you admit that the difference in whether or not a situation is acceptable is the degree to which the parent is involved in the child’s life.

Their relationship may have not worked for any number of reasons that we, as outsiders, are not privy to. To say that it’s some fundamental property of him having children from other relationships is super weird. They made the informed decision to have a kid together, just as many people do who get married then later…

Honest question. What does it say about the women? How can it say anything about the men and not the women? I’m not exactly sure why it says more about him than the women he had the kids with.

That seems like a ridiculously shitty thing to say. Would you say the same about a single woman with multiple children with different fathers?

Who in their right mind would fuck with the lady that said the death of 500,000 Iraqi kids was worth it? Not me!

She was born in fucking 1938 in fucking Czechoslovakia until FUCKING HITLER forced her family into exile in England during the Holocaust (in which THREE of her Grandparents died). She lived through the blitz in London, hiding under a metal fucking table during Nazi bombings.

No they don’t. But he’s totally within his rights to speak on this. And what he’s saying is 100% true. He’s being supportive and coming from a place of marginalization himself as a black person in our society. The idea that he should just keep quiet on this strikes me as really counter-productive. A black actor can…

Maybe not, but I'm glad he brought it up. Made me stop and think.
