The same way that so many reasonable, empathetic liberals come from bigoted conservative families, probably. They found an ideological system that resonated with them and rejected their family’s input.

Especially if it means that I and my family are in physical danger? Fuck no. I’ll gladly take that ethical hit.

I am of the opinion that, in a conflict, both sides can be right. But usually one side is more right than the other.

No, not at all. Madonna fetishizes and appropriates that which she considers exotic. Black men, gay culture, Asian culture, Judaism. Everything she does is about performing, and he probably recognized that he was merely an accessory to give her some edge. 

Sometimes I really find it hard not to think that in sexual assault cases if an accused decides to plead not guilty and take the case to trial, they should be required to testify. None of this “no case to answer” bullshit. Your lawyer gets to cross-examine the complainant? That’s cool, the prosecution get to…

I’m actually so surprised at this verdict but elated for his family. She is evil.

Oh, so Mister “Colleges are too politically correct” feels uncomfortable when someone tries to hug him. Well maybe now he knows how it feels to hear a joke about race, to a person who looks around and doesnt see that many with a shared experience. Now he knows how the young woman, who was the victim of sexual assault …

My grandfather renamed himself Eugene after Eugene Debs, and I didn’t know that wasn’t his birth name until I was like 32. I can’t even really recall what his real name is.

...if you’re just tuning in, if you’re having a mental breakdown, you best keep that ish to yourself until you can get around people whom you can trust and pray they can get you some help because dialing 911 is like playing Russian Roulette with 4 bullets out 6 in the chamber 

Of course they’re outraged at the indictment.

I think the big problem is that native kids were forcibly removed from their families and put into those schools. So there wasn’t that element of choice. The admittedly little knowledge I have is also that the schools were incredibly abusive to those kids, physically and mentally.

but for minaj he’d be in jail awaiting trial, which would be a good thing considering who his victim was. but for minaj her lawyers could successfully get him out of this, there’s no excuse for that

She’s a scientologist! I still can’t get over that lol

Jia was right.

But...please promise you’d sue the bitch anyway. Because she has it coming.

I think there is also the problem of are you physically attracted to your subject. So, you would have the female gaze and the sexually invested female gaze. I would think those would be two fairly different things.

I got worried when the DNC went through with their plan to run Hillary unopposed. And no, O’Malley doesn’t count.

I am so glad she was arrested. I actually support graffiti, especially in cities as a way to take spaces back from advertisers and the aggressive marketing that confronts citizens in those spaces. Putting graffiti in a national park, in a natural setting is as offensive as putting a billboard there.

Well, there’s also this difference: Patients Cared For By Female Doctors Fare Better Than Those Treated By Men
