Great points. I'd argue if I could, but I agree with it all.

I do completely understand your point. I don't have an issue with attacking all fronts, but I have an issue with the current proportions. I'm picking on Jezebel because we're here and I think it would be easier for them (plus IMO, the disproportions are due to laziness), but it's the media as a whole that is the…

About 25-30% of the US is Evangelical. Most are taught the end times this way. Almost none realize there have been numerous end times scenarios since the Bible was written, and that their premillenial version is only about 150 years old.

I'd guess he expected to be treated as respectfully as he was treating everyone else. The people calling him names would want that too. Instead they decided to be bullies. And he came out looking better than all of them.

I hear you, but I'd argue that the rape epidemic itself is not only the most integral part of rape culture, but is an emergency situation where we might directly lower rapes rather than relying on a host of smaller, indirect causes (and as I noted, to me they are symptoms rather than causes).

The endangerment really bothers me, specifically because there are parents who will let their kids die rather than receive proper medical treatment. I'd imagine medical issues would be the majority of cases, but it would also help people like the poor girl in Nebraska.

Yes, that's disturbing (and unfortunately widespead). The entire thing is disturbing and stupid.

You made a good devil's advocate argument, which got you vitriol and name calling in return.

I will admit, as a multiple cat owner and a guy, I'd definitely prefer that anyone with that view to tell me up front. Then I wouldn't end up wasting time or money on her. Anyone can question my masculinity anytime they want, but I'm not going to waste time on ignorance.

I'm not saying Miley is the first person they've seen be racy. I'm saying her, Kesha, and RiRi are the generation that's being racy as those kids are first exploring their sexuality.

It is most likely true according to most pitchers who were in the league in '94 and '95. It wasn't that they juiced the ball though. It wasn't tighter and didn't have the change to the core. The seams were lower, reducing movement. It could very well be accidental in the manufacturing process, but it's still a change.…

Overall, I think we can all agree that charity too often takes a back seat to costs. All of the typical high dollar events end up donating small portions to the charity, which further has its internal costs. That $5000 a plate becomes $200 by the time it reaches its destination. But is the NFL really worse than most?

True, but MLB isn't doing a PED suspension. To prove he was detrimental to the game, they're claiming to have a ton of evidence. If his lawyers can get evidence thrown out via due process, MLB might have to back down to a 50 game PED suspension.

It has been going on for decades, and as you said, it gets old when it has been done before.

Actually, our posts are both white despite the fact that nobody has recommended them yet.

You have to earn your white privilege. If you're one of the "good" grays, an author or moderator (and some other commenters, I believe...it doesn't seem to follow their explanations) can help you pass. Or, if you say something the whites think is of value to the discussion, you can be white for as long as that post.

The problem is that people don't go away like they used to. There are too many outlets. If she stops getting publicity for her music, she'll do movies. Plus, once she has a couple of fragrance lines and such going, she can always just be someone famous for being famous.

Heck yeah they can! Stands with shrimp, crab, and flounder from the Gulf. Texas Toast instead of sourdough. Put the sea lions in Barton Springs!

Yep. It's Hugo doing the thing he always did- trying to curry favor with feminists without realizing his viewpoint is potentially harmful to them too.
