Agreed. There were 'signs'. But not hard evidence. Therefore sending him to jail for anything other than the offences for which there was substantive evidence, would have amounted to preventive incarceration and last time I checked, you need a little bit more than that to really convict someone.

LOL how is disagreeing "trolling"? Oh yeah, I forgot, this is Jezebel... Silly me.

You would think.

Same. People always try to be polite and qualify stories like these with #notallvegans but fuck that, I have yet to meet a single one that wasn't a judgy, insufferable bore. Never had that issue with vegetarians but vegans? They're the Taliban of food.

Yes, Piers Morgan is an insufferable twat. But had it been someone else making this argument, would your response have been the same? Personally, I don't believe in policing words and people should figure out who can and can't say what, and why, without anyone going tsk tsk don't say that. But anyway, my point is that…

I don't know, I'm not American, I've just lived here for the past few years.

This. And also to think you're probably taking unnecessary medical risks by having a home birth.

I am not comparing the act of sleeping with someone's spouse behind their back with the act of making racist comments, but rather the act of choosing not to say anything about either when your friend engages in them.

But again: why are you so hung up on the right vs. wrong aspect of this? I think a lot of the times discussions about adultery and cheating and why things happen, get derailed because people are obsessed with condemning the behaviour and refuse to discuss any other aspect of it. And I didn't see anyone saying that…

That's not what's happening here since illsettleforthis wasn't asking for anyone's organs - and if he/she was, I missed it. Of course it's their choice but I do think it's stupid that some people are so religious they take religious scripture literally rather than interpreting in order to adapt those beliefs to the…

Look, I don't know what your issue is but you've got a very simplistic, black and white view of the world and you're super moralising and judgy. First of all, your choice of words is fucking weird at best, because sleeping with a married man is not "knowingly victimising someone". It's a fucked up thing to do, yes,…

So does that mean that it's almost as if they'd shot your niece?

Well, except that those religious beliefs were written way before organ donation existed. And religious people should still be rational.

This.

People have the right to choose not to get involved in their friends'/acquaintances' personal lives. Racism and sexism are things that are wrong with society and that we all have a role in correcting/ending. Peoples' personal relationship involve only the people in that relationship and whoever they're cheating with…

Do you seriously think the friend doesn't already know that sleeping with a married man isn't cool? I guess that what I'm trying to understand is why you're so obsessed with everyone acknowledging that sleeping with a married is wrong. Yes, it's wrong. But being s friend involves a lot more than just saying, "hey, I…

No. It doesn't. Comparing issues like racism and sexism to the private, personal lives of individuals is misguided at best.

This. For a feminist blog, there sure is a lot of scarlet lettering going on.

According to the judgemental assholes in this thread, you're only allowed to be friends with perfect, morally superior people who never put a foot wrong. And if yiu don't cut her off well it's practically as bad as if you were the one sleeping with the married dude in question
