Hi, Emily.

This comment isn’t very persuasive. Surely someone with creativity or imagination could have listed at least one reason to watch the parade. 

What if they’re really just bragging about how he never groped or harassed any of them?

“Hmmmm. [studies intently] I don’t know. It would help if I had a control group comparison without the pants.”

I’m unclear what the pronoun “this” refers to in your last sentence.

Is it weird that in their statement defending the use of the word, “fuck,” the Texas ACLU spelled it, “f@ck?” Their unwillingness to actually spell it out seems to undercut their argument a little. Maybe they’re only supporting it spelled as, “f@ck?”

Pilot/ brothel owner?That’s a diversified portfolio.

These are magnificent questions with well-explained reasoning behind them. Good job, Nicole.

The human nature (selfishness) is the common part. The comment I was refuting said (in effect) this behavior was not due to human nature. In my personal case (although I don’t know why you really care to make this about me) and in many others, the natural temptation is there, but the person exercises self control to…

A person could be empathetic and still be selfish. In fact, this story might be evidence of that - the guy used his understanding of the author’s feelings to get what he wanted.

Now you’ve become irrational. You’ve imagined a stranger on the internet said one thing they didn’t, and you’ve whipped yourself into a frenzy that justifies ranting, “fuck this” and “fuck that.”

No. Because even though my human nature might tempt me to do something like this, I have self control.

Wow. You don’t read carefully enough. The point I’m making is this behavior is 100% human nature. My original post was pointing out how the commenter claimed this behavior (selfishness) wasn’t human nature. That’s ridiculous. We can all override human nature with self control, but the natural urge towards selfishness…

Probably. Everyone is selfish. If someone wants something, they’re probably going to try to get it. That’s human nature. Self control is not human nature.

So it doesn’t strike me as particularly consistent with human nature for someone to ask that.

Yes. And the rights specifically protected in the Constitution are the toughest to revoke. It could be done, but it would be very tough.

You’d have to amend the Constitution to outlaw guns. That’s very difficult to do, especially when this is such a longstanding and foundational part of it.

Being a fucking moron hurts your credibility far, far more. If you think anyone other than the player is to blame you are dumb as a fucking rock.

You’re missing a nuance of the word, “result.” I’m not saying he didn’t mean to lower his shoulder. I’m saying he wouldn’t have done it if there was no collision.
