1. Why the fuck would they give him a platform?

I didn’t say they were the same thing, but there are perfectly legitimate reasons that a man might want to have children earlier because there is a significant decrease in fertility (which, for some men, likely does become a complete inability at some point, though not for all) and in sperm quality that could lead to…

I wouldn’t get too jealous. He’s a slytherin you know.

What’s in the baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax?

The only thing I’ll note about your moral system is that there are lots of situations where the imperatives you’ve articulated will demand contradictory courses of action. Raising large amounts of cattle, for example, is terrible for the environment. On the one hand, yes, this is a man made problem, but on the other…

Jezebel’s best friend/Fox News correspondent Andrea Tantaros is dating Dave Navarro.

Yeah, if it was coming from, say, Louis CK that’s how I would read it. Granted, I don’t have a lot of context for Australian TV, but it seems reasonable to assume they’re not that provocative? Can any Australians confirm this?

The most generous possible explanation I’ve heard so far (and I’m not saying I buy this) is she meant something more along the lines of, “pale solidarity!” and it came off more like, “white pride!”

Oh yeah, that was definitely a “what the fuck?” His mouth is slightly open for the rest of the clip. He knows. He knows it’s bad.

Yeah, this story seems to boil down to: Utility closet exists in bar bathroom; bar owner maybe a prick

Yeah ... when the story first broke I thought it was in kind of poor taste to run with it since Paul is refreshingly progressive on policing and enforcement for a conservative (so there was no obvious hypocrisy that would make it newsworthy) ... but ... man ... this one he deserved.

Can’t unsee.

Yeah, I never saw it, so that’s not a comment on the quality of the movie, but just the perception of it since it got middling reviews and (though I think it did make back its money internationally) its domestic gross was a fraction of the budget.

I think Brad Pitt’s best as a producer though: the departed, tree of life, money ball, killing them softly, 12 years a slave, the normal heart, and selma.

Dude, I forgot about Intermission. He was great in that. As was everyone...

He was also great in In Bruges, The New World, and the half of Saving Mr Banks I saw (I was too drunk to watch the other half). He definitely has range and chooses some interesting stuff, but since he’s also in some high profile flops, his career has never felt consistent (Alexander, Miami Vice).

Yes. Which is a shame because he does do interesting work, but the inexplicable* fame tends to overshadow it.

So, just to pin down your moral system: morals have evolved to help us survive, and what helps us survive better is making love and not war, so that’s what (we all or just you?) should do, though it’s also the case that war has, in certain circumstances, also helped groups survive, which is why that impulse has…

I also went to public and Catholic Schools and depending on the location, sometimes one was better than the other. What I’ve found is it really depends on where you are and what the age group is. The public elementary school I went to was great and the Catholic middle school I went to was a joke, but the Catholic High…

And, further, doing that fuels a persecution complex that makes it harder to engage reasonably with moderate Christians or Catholics who might be more open to listening to ideas for reform from people like this author if they weren’t taking pot shots at them.
