It’s easy to feel super, super brave hiding behind a massive ocean instead of sharing a sizeable land-border with a heavily militarized fascist regime. Were Americans still ever so brave when nuclear weapons came on the scene and those oceans suddenly weren’t so fireproof and they immediately tore any semblance of…

There’s no such thing as members of the professional class who are demographically static to a jurisdiction. There’s already more than enough justice system bias in favor of defendants/victims from the professional classes and against working-class defendants/victims.

Legality varies by jurisdiction, and law wasn’t what I was referencing by “exploitation and wage theft”.

Yeah. Even on salary, you agree (in writing or verbally or via email or whatever) to certain hours and demanding hours outside of those hours is exploitation and wage theft.

It sounds like she was expected to work unpaid overtime (several hours in the office on week-ends, weeks of nighttime work on hiring, regular non-urgent 7am work calls etc.) and that was part of her decision to work from home when her bosses were on vacation. She didn’t deal with it properly but her bosses’ behaviour…

It’s bad form to dismiss accurate, civil comments just because they point out disagree with you. (Or point out your errors–it’s not an opinion that the UUP’s voting record isn’t moderate.)

Other responses you’ve received have been misrepresentative. The SDLP, Alliance and Labour aren’t moderates, they’re much further left of centre than that. Sinn Féin, setting aside their stance on anti-colonialism and its tactics, are incredibly moderate (at least) on almost all other issues compared to the hardline…

That’s misrepresentative. The SDLP, Alliance and Labour aren’t moderates, they’re much further left of centre than that. Sinn Fein, whatever you think about their stance on anti-colonialism and its tactics, are incredibly moderate (at least) on almost all other issues compared to the DUP and the UUP (who also aren’t…

If you’re not trolling, steer away from “did you just assume their gender” in future. It’s ridiculous.

If you can’t comprehend “what in the hell” people are talking about, there are a number of free adult-education reading comprehension courses available to you.

Yeah, I do. And, yes, people’s genders are apparent from their names, appearances, and self-descriptions, and their sexualities are apparent from their relationships and self-description. I’m assuming you’re a troll and dismissing so, if you are a troll, you need to try harder to avoid being summarily dismissed. If…

The fact that people can be awful doesn’t excuse homophobia, especially lesbophobia. Your self-conception as an “awful” gay man has no bearing on that. Reconsider who you chose to argue against and when.

Pathetic. Can’t even answer criticisms directly.

If you don’t know what “corrective rape” is, google it. There are types of rape which, shocker, don’t mean they’re not rape. It’s not on me to explain to you, or anyone else, what anti-lesbian violence is. Get lost.

Guess what, it’s still hateful and bigoted to cast lesbians as “awful” even though you consider yourself a liberal or whatever. No-one cares who shops at what grocery store, anti-lesbian violence and corrective rape is still rife in the US and not something to be brushed aways for laughs.

Just being gay or (more likely) a bisexual in a heterosexual relationship doesn’t give you the right to refer to women who are in relationships with women as “lesbos”. You know that isn’t a preferred term. You know that’s a slur. The term is lesbian.

“it wasn’t until the late 20th century that American consent laws even began to consider the possibility that young men might need legal protection from sexual exploitation and abuse”

Okay, if you “neither believe or disbelieve” in the existence of internal organ makeup that isn’t eliminated by hormone treatments, we’re done here. Issues of that magnitude isn’t addressed by debate, they’re addressed in, to put it delicately, other ways. I hope your unwellness is corrected soon so that you feel…

Don’t worry, I didn’t “grey” you, you’re just already grey so your images don’t show up unless someone clicks on them to unblur them.

I have no idea what you’re talking about with the photos and supposed puns and I have no interest in finding out. You know what graphic insults you’ve used and I won’t sink to repeating them. It’s a good thing you’re grey so I don’t have to unblur any images you keep on with.
