Wow, I quickly made the assumption that your friend had at the very least had intercourse. I now am assuming that your friend is young (<25), actually, I hope for her sake she is young. With that said, anyone who has not even had sex is still a child when it comes to sexual issues. Children often regurgitate rote,…

Wow, you are more patient than most. I think it is revealing to see how strong the human element in people can be. I think it is interesting when people write absolutes for others, and then make exceptions. I do often find people like that are religious, taught that a good life is only white and black, but often find…

"...when some people try and say that a person who was sexually assaulted and gets pregnant should carry the baby to term and then "just" put it up for adoption."

As far as my limited understanding is based, an at will state can fire an at will employee for any reason, and the only way the employee has protections is if 1.) the employer explicitly states a reason that is unlawful 2.) The employee (and or labor board possibly) can reasonably demonstrate bias (this places the…

You are still saying the same thing, even with your poor explaination. Also You should have dismissed the first comment if you arent able to handle a two way discussion. Dismiss away, you just give futher proof of your ignorance.

Yeah, Wilson really got beat up by brown, his face looked like he got hit with a...pillow? Who knew that was what happened when one got attacked by a 300lb "Demon."

Great points. I think the potential issue is easier to see in that light. For example Wilson didn't shoot Mike because he was black, but he would have thought twice about shooting him if he was white. Yeah its racism, and the hardest kind to get rid of because its easy to miss.

"What exactly is your point?"

"...implies that half black is really as good as all black."

"You would have pulled the trigger too or you'd be dead right now."

They think it is their right to live the same life they did before having children. Forgetting all the reasons many chose not to have kids. They seem to miss the reason being a "good parent" is considered some kind of badge of honor for many is because to truly be one, one must be ready for a high level of sacrifice…

Just to add to this, bars can allow children but can also ban them. I think it is a poor business choice to allow children in a bar (especially a stand-alone bar vs one attached to in the middle of a restaurant. If its a really bad situation, but you like the bar, you may want to ask the manager if it is policy to…

The person that didn't have a child, never needs to pay a sitter, they also dont get the pluses or the minuses of parenthood. However you do.

A private bar, or club, or restaurant is not a public area, this is why an employee can as you to leave, and ban you from a location. Also a store can mandate no recording devices. A bar is allowed to (and many do) ban minors, and under 21.

Edit: I SAY that as, not "I saw that as...""

Who fabricated the orbital bone being broken? I mean if that came from the department as some kind of official statement, how is no one accountable? Or was that "skillfully leaked" to a reporter?

"The focus is on activism, not identity."

If your partner dies first, you will also "die alone." The fear is understandable, but it is not the issue. Live life, feel, enjoy its moments, be ready to share and connect with others, be satisfied with you life, death simply comes. It is not who you are around, but who you are that dictates how you will experience…

I can agree wholeheartedly with this statement. I just dont know how it is best applied, it addresses the ideals, and demonstrates the reality. Since no ideal is truly owned, it can only be shared, but ideals are created and developed by their membership and promotion. How should groups based on ideals handle bad…

"There is sometimes a double standard applied, but it should be pointed out that the stereotypes of men being more sexually aggressive are backed up by actual data. The vast majority of rapes and other forms of sexual abuse are perpetrated by men. "
