I read it because I wanted a deeper insight into the issue.

And that’s what I don’t get about forgiveness. Why on earth would you forgive someone who isn’t sorry in the first place? The whole act is one sided for the victim. Why is it the victim’s responsibility to be a bigger person and show kindness? What about the jerk who started it all in the first place?

Bullshit. If Jama was a white women speaking French you wouldn’t give a shit. If she was a white women speaking Swahili you still probably wouldn’t have given a shit.

I am a world class grudge holder because I have to be. I spent many years forgiving and getting treated poorly again and again by the same people. I’m done. It also helps that not a single person that has ever been awful has apologized in any sincere fashion.

I am firmly in the “I’m not Jesus” camp, I rarely forgive anyone. I have forgiven exactly one person who has hurt me in the past. I only forgave them because I genuinely do believe that they have tried to be better to their children than they were to me when I was the same age (this was an older family member who was…

Yup. Burchard-Risch’s decision not to even apologize in court for her behavior seems to indicate she’s an asshole who also happens to be struggling with alcohol addiction.

My religion teaches me to forgive so that I can move on with my life. If I hold a grudge and I hold the hate you hold towards me against you, it’s not going to serve me well.

According to CBS, her attorney said that the woman isn’t a “lunatic” or a “racist,” but someone with an “alcohol problem.” Burchard-Risch, meanwhile, had nothing to say, either to Jama or to the court.

Can you simultaneously forgive someone and punch them in the face? Asking for an enemy...

So tell me again about how all the Muslims are dangerous? Ugh. Fucking people.

“But I just wanted to tell you in front of everybody today that I do forgive you. My religion teaches me to forgive so that I can move on with my life. If I hold a grudge and I hold the hate you hold towards me against you, it’s not going to serve me well. So in front of everybody here, I do forgive you, and I hope…

Psychology Today? Really? “Science!”

There’s no consideration for the child’s privacy here. His well-being is clearly secondary to the object lesson he can provide in the eyes of this department.

It’s worse than that. I think the cops are trying to say “Look at what we deal with every day, aren’t we heroes? Don’t you feel bad for us?” They are using a child’s circumstance to elevate themselves, that is highly cynical.

That’s fucked. Heroin is destroying lives and this is the response? Not advocating good rehab programs, not railing against a rehab industry that exists only to Hoover up government money by keeping people hooked for as long as possible and relapsing as often as possible...nope, let’s just post photos of people at…

It has always bugged the shit out of me that these cops stopped to take a picture instead of fucking helping them instantly. INSTANTLY. That child should have INSTANTLY been removed from that car and that situation and his grandparents should have been INSTANTLY assessed for overdose. Why in the fuck did they take…

20 Minutes. My rapist took only about 15. That was >40 years ago, and I’ve never forgotten. These rapists think they are blameless. It only took 20 minutes, why is the rest of my life in ruins. BECAUSE THE REST OF MINE IS RUINED. POS

“and that he will “never be his happy go lucky self [sic]” again.”

It’s not stupidity but a horrible lack of respect for women. It’s okay to find women attractive. It’s not okay to harass them with obscene pictures and repeated come-ons.

My wife once got an actual photograph of some guy’s boner slid under the apartment door. She and her roommate figured it was the creepy morning doorman of their building. She kept it because it was so comically large. Years later, I was trying to find a pen and I stumbled across it and she told me the story. This was…
