If you fail to be a skeptic of people telling you what you want to hear, you make it all too easy for those who disagree with you to distract everyone from the meat of your argument by pointing out problems you failed to see.

I've read that article, and have heard those criticisms of the 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 statistics before, and I think those crticisms have real merit. However the study's authors acknowledge the limitations of their numbers (even if Jezebel and other groups do not) and they suggest that what is needed would be a…

Perhaps, though my point is moreso that intellectually dishonest skepticism that finds a problem with the story still finds a problem with the story.

Yes, but that's what happens when you promote a story as the lynchpin for a piece suggesting that society needs to change, I don't think that's unique to rape accusations in the slightest. It's going to be subjected to mountains of skepticism that comes from an intellectually dishonest place, so if you are someone…

But ultimately to use a specific story as the centerpiece for a broader discussion about rape on campus, the facts as you report them need to be accurate. Not because we should need stories to acknowledge the macro statistics that indicate there is clearly a huge problem, but because for most of the broader public to…

It's because there's a problem here, even if Jackie proves to be the wrong person to represent it.

No, because she's unelectable in a general election.

Does anyone actually know any Bill Cosby fans who are dejected?

Can anyone come up with something about Nina Hartley that isn't awesome?

So basically was he like his character in Edmond or like his character in Wild Hogs.

But these companies have done such a good job of creating a demand, marketing fantasy to everyone and attaching some kind of social worth to owning it, that you really can't blame anyone for falling into it and wanting to floss a label like their favorite movie star, for example

Will was a gigantic stale dingleberry long before his stupidity about rape.

Because I'm not a dirty pinko commie and cottage cheese + peaches = win?

You're wrong. Wrong about everything.

I think if she had divorced Pitt because he cheated on her with some model that he only slept with a few times it would be different. The issue is that he went with another actress and has been living large with said actress for years that makes people pity her.

I really should look into getting a rack or installing some hooks. We live in a rental that I don't think is going to be a long term situation, so I'm not too excited about having to replaster/repaint the walls when we move, but the hooks or racks you can hang from the ceilings look convenient enough that it might be…

The only thing I hate about cast iron cookware is the heft. My cabinet space sucks right now, so I have to stack pans on pans on pans on pans in them. Shuffling around the few cast iron pieces I have is always such a pain.

It doesn't? He was talking about non-stick pans. Scratching them ruins it because ingesting Teflon will make you sick and kill any pet birds you have.

Except the first is required by law and unless you live in a cabin on land your family has owned since before the American Revolution that you never leave you probably benefit from it. I couldn't agree more on the 2nd however.
