Or it could anger the fuck out of society that a fucking racist ended the death penalty, not like individuals on death row who ended up with over turned sentences.

*It’s only purpose is retribution.*
ok.
so?

whats the problem with that?
isn’t there a line where its kinda egoistic masturbation about how superior and compassionate “we” are that we wouldn’t kill for retribution even if there’s no doubt about guilt, ect?

some people do things that are so bad that they need to die.
…

As others have said, unquestionably yes. The process doesn’t just remove conscientious objectors — it removes anyone who isn’t willing to state that they have no qualms about the death penalty whatsoever, either in concept or application. Anyone who understands how heavy a factor the race of the defendant is or…

But what purpose does life without parole serve if not only for retribution? When someone is sentenced to LWOP there is no rehabilitation nor does it prevent the convicted from committing more crimes within the prison system. Deterrence effect within prisons should also be considered when analyzing effectiveness of…

This. And, more importantly, the internet means that these days, that conditioning starts really, really young. I have absolutely zero problem with adults enjoying any and all sorts of consensual sex acts and depictions thereof, but I do worry about the fact that, for a whole hell of a lot of kids, porn is their first…

I choked and almost vomited doing oral once, and I declared I was never doing it again and my partner said “okay, that’s a really reasonable response to such a bad experience.” It was the first time I realised I could—well, say no. I always thought you *had to do* whatever you were told you have to do, because if you…

It really is shitty. I remember shit like him wanting to choke me, and because I didn't want that he reacted like there was something wrong with me - like I must have some kind of traumatic past if I'm responding poorly to very aggressively dominant sexual behavior. I'm like - okay without getting all kink-shamey -…

Also, I am sorry you had a shitty bf with skewed expectations and I’m so sad that happened to you. I have also had a shitty bf with messed up ideas about what was expected of me sexually. It’s awful and it takes a while to realize what is truly right for you and the type of respect you deserve. Hugs to you.

Jezebel is a cool feminist blog and it’s not cool to be against porn here. Though some of us are anyway.

Porn encouraged some women to experiment and enjoy different sex acts, but it also pressured women to comply with certain sex acts that they find unpleasurable if not painful and degrading. We are all different. The problem is that porn teaches men and women that women should not be different and individual but…

I agree with you. It’s one thing for adults with maturity and developed sense of self and self worth for themselves and others to partake of porn, it’s another for an immature child to do so. And I’m talking about hardcore violent porn, not just vanilla sex or nudity.

Same. Not really impressed by second wave hand wringing about the sexualization of women. Sex has gotten better for women in the last 25 years, not worse. Anal and oral sex don’t represent some horrible explanation of women. They are fun things to do and if you don’t want to respect for consent is also much more…

I mean I’m having mixed feelings here because IDK who those women in the picture are but it seems like they’re probably starlets who’ve been carefully made over to fit a particular image (and thus make money for whoever their corporate handlers are), and there’s certainly a lot that’s weird and squicky about that…

Even the older of the animal movies? Because there was so much in the back catalogue that you still could have watched. The Fox and the Hound, Dumbo, The Rescuers, The Aristocats, 101 Dalmations...it's not always princess waiting on a man, sometimes it's we've got to save our kids, or I have to save my friend or we/I…

I wonder if it all just depends on the child. I was well immersed in Disney and princesses and barbies...but I never actually considered that being a princess was a good thing and all I did with barbies was pose them on my plastic horses. I think if a kid is raised with self confidence and certain values, movies and…

What you’re saying is that because she has a couple of policies you like, you’ll overlook what everyone else is proving to you is a problem about her.

I’m very liberal-leaning but I have to admit I worry about the impact of the flow of never-ending hardcore porn into the minds of adolescents who, yes, always had hormones driving curiosity, and always sought out Playboys or Playgirls from that curiosity, but now have a flow of the most esoteric and depraved acts…

Had you bothered to read the Wiki, you’d know they source their claims by linking to the party’s platform, which is about as objective as you can get for someone who doesn’t read Japanese.

I think that’s a really ignorant viewpoint from somebody that literally knows nothing about Japanese politics and just assumes that Liberal Democrats mean the same thing in Japan as they do in the US.
