WOW how unproductive is it for this site to be publishing people’s texts?! I’m not even a Bezos “supporter” if it can be called that, but sheesh. This is ridiculous - I understand that it’s more about the fact that people will click on the article and therefore a reflection of our society but Jezebel should take a…

Jez: Here’s a study that shows men should be more ok with opening up about their emotions

He’s been married for an eternity, it’s ok to be a little rusty at flirting. It’s cruel to mock him when he’s just trying to be sweet. I’m the least poetic person on the planet, if you think hos texts are bad, my lovey dovey texts would probably make you implode with embarrassment. 

Also, I’m kind of inspired, I mean, how old is he? To meet and connect with someone who makes you feel like writing these wonderfully heartfelt clumsy corny things is so hard. The fact that he was still married aside, I’m happy for him?! And impressed with anyone who lets themselves be vulnerable—a hearty clap on…

Seriously. And if it were Chris Pine texting, “I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight.… I want to kiss your lips…. I love you. I am in love with you.” We would all be swooning.

I agree. He’s expressing love, not that wants to jump her bones. People can dog him for cheating, but I wouldn’t criticize him for the texts. Are they corny? Absolutely. Is it almost impossible to write a text expressing love that is not on some level corny? Absolutely.

I’m with Bezos on this one. I think it’s sweet, it expresses deep passion and emotion and isn’t really about sex, it is about love. He’s offering to caress her and stare deeply into her eyes. I mean, he is married so that part is gross, but you’re not criticizing that. You are conflating romantic texts with sexts an…

Yes. Why is this so fucking hard to do ?

Here’s the thing — I get this. I really do. I get it because it’s how, as a Jewish person, I feel about Israel. For Jews, Israel is a bit like your dad; embarrassing, possibly not totally emotionally rational, definitely has some good qualities, some bad ones, you guys disagree on stuff, possibly lots of stuff, but at…

What bothers me about that statement is that you could apply it word-for-word and it sounds like what any Republican politician would say while wagging a finger and now-now-ing at Trump’s “unprofessional” rhetoric/behavior, as they vote in his favor 99.9% of the time. We know it’s bullshit, you know it’s bullshit.…

Yes, there are an awful lot of words in this article, and yet they never actually form the important point, which is the one that you make here: Anti-Semitism is evil and wrong, Farrakhan is and always has been a horrible anti-Semite, and Farrakhan should thus be condemned for that.

That’s not hard to do.
