Did... did you find yourself thinking ‘well, Paul Ryan, that was actually pretty decent of you’ in spite of yourself? Because I did.

I, umm, that makes me feel a bit weird. I might need to sit down for a bit.

I’m just sad that they didn’t use this one:

suggest that as we don’t have the white suit, all testimony is anecdotal and unsubstantiated?

The blatant self-pity and inability to even say ‘I did something horribly wrong which affects someone other than me’ is the worst thing about it. He doesn’t even get that he isn’t the only participant in this drama.

To be fair, she’s just ‘not getting to play some shows.’ That’s not QUITE the same as being sent to prison and being put on the sex offenders’ list, it just means that her terrible band will have to end now, rather than in a few years’ time when the gigs dry up.

He should have received a harsher sentence, of course.…

‘There is literally no amount of drugs or alcohol that a person can take that makes it okay for you to rape them.’

I really wish more people understood that. Well said.

When you see the phrase ‘Political Correctness,’ substitute it for the phrase ‘trying to be nice to people.’ I find that makes things a lot easier to understand.

Also, I commend to you the words of Stewart Lee on the subject:

As the drummer in a rock band, I’d just like to say for the record that #notalldrummers are women-blaming rape-culture idiots. (sigh)

You know, there’s a way to disagree with them without being a jerk.

A parent loves their child unconditionally, yes.

If you really want to dwell on it, here’s what happened: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/woman…

Like everyone else who has replied to you, I am so sorry about happened to you.

I’m also grateful that you’ve chosen here to make your voice heard. It’s such an important thing that people understand the consequences of rape, and that it’s not just the voices of people like this misguided fool who get considered in…

He will never be his prior self? GOOD. His prior self raped someone.

Fuck his rapist son, fuck him, and fuck the fucking horse he rode in on.

Yeah, I got that too. I guess his inbox is full/broken.

A shame, as my email was small- just the words ‘Fuck you’ and a link to the ‘aint no Viet Cong ever called me nigger’ speech on Youtube.

I like the fact that there are occasional pauses in his delivery, because he is clearly making it up as he goes along. Just a remarkable quick wit.

I’m not sure anything he could have written would be enough to justify death threats. Seriously now.

NEEDS MORE BLEAK! GIVE US MORE BLEAK!

I think that troll wanted more people to be angry? Should someone pretend to get angry at him? Just so he isn’t sad?

You know who’s good with blowing shit up with fire? Tyrion. I seem to remember Stannis’ fleet not standing a chance at Blackwater Bay.

Oh, and the Dragons. They were pretty good too.
