Seems like the non-homicide angle was more persuasive in the end, though.

I'm not sure the penalty is not the death penalty in the US because of concern for an escalation of violence against rape victims, but more because the death penalty is typically reserved for offenses that result in death.

Can't wait to see this. Kirby Dick did such a good job on The Invisible War.

I think that Ebola protocols were pretty firmly established before Duncan ever set foot in the hospital. They were definitely in a difficult position, but they can't plead ignorance if they were allowing nurses to treat him without proper equipment or training, even if those things were hard to come by.

Organ failure? Holy shit.

Of course there's no way I can prove that the adult men, who are probably all very nice, were throwing snowballs at the heads of their mortal enemies, but a part of me loves the fantasy of two monks hating each other and yet having to live side-by-side in harmony, only allowed to get their aggression out when it…

I hate clichés.

Oh, beautiful people can totally be kind and intelligent. But I hate them for it. Like, give me one thing beautiful people. You already took beautiful and "kind" and "good."

In what I've been reading, in the 70s kids seemed less likely to tell…

That Peter Dinklage one is my all time favortie gif.

Yeah, I don't mean to imply that abuse has disappeared or will disappear, and administrators won't still want to cover their asses, but, at least in the report I'm reading, you definitely see a difference in the way things are handled in the 70s vs. the 90s. And this change wasn't because the church suddenly decided…

It's pretty shocking how ignorant and just ... indifferent people were to childhood sexual abuse just a few decades ago. I'm in the middle of reading the Philadelphia Investigating Grand Jury Report into Allegations of Clergy Abuse in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia right now (because, why not?) and while a lot of the…
