I tried to have a discussion with a gun owner that criminalizing at a federal level gun trafficking would be a good law. I didn’t think that was controversial. I mean, we’re all anti-criminals having guns, right? So...making laws making it harder for criminals to illegally obtain guns (by criminalizing gun…

I was raped and I believe it was primarily about sex, only partially about power. I dislike discussions about rape that treat motivations as being exactly the same from one person to the next. Just like people murder or burglarize for different reasons, people rape for different reasons. Until we are honest about that…

Imagine if this quote was changed slightly and dealt with gun control... ““No issue is more deserving of our undivided attention than protecting the dignity of human life,” said full committee Vice Chairman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). “Over the past several weeks we have been asking serious and, frankly, troubling…

I have these in the thong. The elastic is VERY forgiving. Nothing to worry about

“Your” not “You’re”.
The statistic is one of the best available for a notoriously difficult to pinpoint number. Why are you so invested in making sure the rich and famous are coddled?

I’ll concede there is no way to know how many rapes are prosecuted because there is no definitive way to know how many rapes are prosecuted because we don’t know how many aren’t reported. And 10% is a figure that falls in the range of estimates. But if you think that number is wildly off base, you haven’t worked with…

Point taken

I see this as an educational opportunity for an angry person who doesn’t know how to google. Less than 10% of rape cases are prosecuted. There are 2 things I’m sure of in this country - all star athletes are not victims of public perception gone awry. Ever. And rape is underprosecuted because people like you don’t…

The NFL suspected Roethlesberger (sp?) when he raped the college woman btw. They said he didn’t befit the NFL’s image standards (which is obviously a very low bar to hurdle). So there is precedent to a degree, though I don’t know how the unions would view it.

The innocent until proven guilty standard doesn’t apply in life. Just the law. If someone says “I think that guy is a jerk”, do your respond with “I can’t believe you’d say that without a jury deciding the issue”. No. Of course you don’t. Because you are a normal human (presumably).
Here’s the thing about that…
