It fills my cold, dead heart with warmness whenever someone is correctly informed about the Hot Coffee case. Like aside from McDonald’s bullshit, the media just had a field day at that poor lady’s expense

I’m not the one who brought up the coffee, I’m not the one who spoke in ignorance, and I’m not the one who condescendingly shit all over a victim here. That’s where your precious derailing happened. In the very first post of the thread, making it less “a conversation,” per se, than “an ignorant person being rude.”

What surprises me is that person is otherwise a decent commenter. There are a few people I’ve wanted to call raging assholes in here today. Ugh.

Beautifully said!!

Okay. So, just so I get it straight on who we are mean girls to:

Oh for eff sakes, calm down. There are a bajillion free apps that count calories and all that shit if youre so worried about it. Comments like yours make me wonder how anybody got anything accomplished before apps. And besides, these people are only making their weightloss more difficult by freaking out over a…

But it’s not ‘legal’, there for it is by definition illegal. Being illegal and being a crime are not synonymous.

since it’s just factually inaccurate for the 40% of the undocumented population who came here with legal visas and then overstayed them, which is not “illegal.”

You really are conflating “criminal” and “illegal,” and no,the distinction is not a colloquial one. Check your Black’s.

It’s still fraud. But then I guess that isn’t a big deal in the U.S. (see banks for reference). Just because their is little or “no” harm doesn’t make it okay.

The definition is only circular if the person using the term also defined it to make it a proper term. The term was defined by others before the conversation began. Therefore, using the definition isn’t circular logic at all. In your point of view, it might be inaccurate, but you saying it is and thus shouldn’t be…

As an alleged lawyer, I will grant you that your day-to-day job is to spin semantics until people’s heads explode, however, as the definition of “Illegal” is noted above, you sir are wrong.

That makes literally no sense.

It's interesting that you left off the fact that INA 237(a)(1)(b) classifies this particular group of deportable aliens as "Present in Violation of Law".

Yes, they can. It is called traditional surrogacy. See here, here, and here.

It doesn’t matter, she is still responsible for the birth, just as a man can’t stop a woman from carrying a fetus to term after knocking her up. To most her responsibility is more clear because she specifically set out to cause a birth, there was no “OOPS” in this case.

He didn’t. It’s just a clickbait headline.

Carnival for bowing to your whining.

Exactly. I don’t know how this is so confusing she consented to be penetrated by a man whom she trusted. Whether it was a biological male or transgendered/sexually reassigned. Not by a foreign freaking object how horrible is that? How horrible is it that people are saying “what’s the big deal?” have someone shove a…

I never worked security, but I needed to take an exam normally given to security professionals. One of the questions concerned just what happened here, and essentially the message is you do not leave your post, step out of your venue or get involved. Period.
