That's where secular laws will run up against Islamic ones. Islam permits forgiveness and restitution in lieu of punishment for many crimes, killing included (although honor killings aren't condoned). I'm not sure sure how it works in intra-familial homicide, but any changes to the law will run up against…

Her dad? Does she know something?

Please say this was a shady dragging of Common for saying his home was the entire continent of Africa.

Rich coming once again from Gawker...how are you guys going to replace Jia, your token non-black WoC?

Nick cage stole the Declaration of Independence

Facebook needs plenty of janitors...until that is automated.

They are majority minority within their tech sector. There are undoubtedly many qualified Hispanic and black tech workers Facebook could hire. However, there are many, many more, similar white and Asian workers. Until education catches up for Hispanic and black students, any effort to hire more than a token amount…

I agree. That's why I don't think there should be any big response to the reveal in the movie, or a reveal even. In Rodenberry's Star Trek, it wouldn'tve mattered that he was gay, he would be accepted at first entrance to star fleet.

I agree, it how they handle it. If they just show sulu with a male companion, it flows better. If they make him come out, or have surprised reactions from crew members, then it destroys Rodenberry’s goal of depicting an idealized progressive future where something like homosexuality is not ostracized or seen as…

Eh, when you live on a ship traveling across the galaxy for years at a time, if no one knows you're gay, you're closeted.

I'm a very cool headed person. However, when I play FIFA, I turn into a monster. I've broken more than one controller after I've lost a game 2-1 and I outshot (on goal) the opponent 20-2. Everyone has a thing that sets them off; I don't play FIFA any more.

You see, society frowns on men having purses. We are stuck with either a backpack or briefcase. I choose backpack; others choose briefcase.

I have a friend who got a high five-figure inheritance from an aunt. He had an athletic scholarship, so not a lot of debt, and after graduating used the money to buy 3 houses in cash in the college town he lives (this was in the late 2000's). He spent the summer before his job started fixing/modernizing the houses and…

It’s unprecedented, so markets will suffer due to the uncertainty. Commodities like oil and gold will cost more because all currencies (besides the dollar) will be devalued (meaning people buy gold,etc, instead of keeping pounds in the bank) because of said uncertainty and for artificial reasons (like China wanting to…

Not trusting Poles is what got us here in the first place.

It is very disheartening that progressives on this site are so blindly for EU, especially considering it is really just a machine to serve big-business.

Too bad CA is a inhospitable hellscape if it were independent.

There's more than just Mexico south of the border.

I’ll bite. Amongst right-wing news sources, there is a heavy belief that news outlets and the authorities have hushed up actual crimes by refugees in order to prevent any backlash against pro-refugee policies. That belief is supported by the actions of the German media and police after the Cologne attacks on NYE. If…

Yea, most monsters are made, not born (at least I believe). The sad thing is that the culture that protected MJ allowed him to abuse dozens of children, children who might not have gotten support, and who someday may become a monster themselves. All because everyone loved MJ.
