Yes.

That is not true. Limiting access to guns will affect those who have a short-term down turn by removing a method with a high perceived level of certainty and short planning stage, much like limiting access to lethal drugs does.

And of course (a big part of) the problem is that we have too many guns to begin with, and we really do need to talk about taking away people’s guns. There are over 300 million guns, that’s one for every man, woman, and child in this country. We do not need so many guns, and we need to actively work to reduce their…

why are you going around demanding people who are asking for justice somehow turn into members of Congress? I imagine it’s so when they don’t have a perfectly fleshed out answer for you, you can pounce on them as uninformed and reactionary. Just looking for that GOTCHA, instead of engaging in intelligent discourse.…

“Observe and replicate. The Hu-Man animal shows affection to its brood mate by clasping the extremities of the forelimb.”

Eminem used his bad upbringing and wrote songs about violently raping women. But he’s got an exalted status. He’s a ‘real artist’ who is just using his pain and we should forgive him for all the insane misogynistic lyrics he writes. And we should forgive him whenever he jokes about murdering/raping some woman, after…

Yeah, it’s serial monogamy. Most people (the ones who don’t marry young and aren’t poly or anti-commitment) do this for at least a decade or two. Some people never find someone to their liking and just do it until they die. I’m really not sure what the fuss is about.

If it were not for the songs and money, it would basically just be normal dating in your twenties.

So you mean she does what every other male musician does?

I am sitting here, at dawn, watching my country put worker’s rights, human rights, equality and protection for the disabled, and the UK economy on a bonfire, for the sake of some Union-jack-bunting “patriotism”, on the say-so of ghouls like Farage and Duncan-Smith. (Whatever happens next won’t touch them. They will…

Having lived in Florida for only a short time in my life, for most people, gators seem like a weird animal that exists somewhere else. It is really not commonly known how widespread the gator population is in Florida and even as far as southern Virginia.

Alligators are a fact of life in Florida. Disney should absolutely have had warnings posted - anyone who knows even the most basic things about life in FL knows that you never go inside freshwater ponds and lakes, even manmade ones, and especially not at night. There is no way for people from out of state to…

Everyone is focusing on what the abuser did wrong, but I don’t hear anyone talking about the important thing — how did the victim bring this on herself?

A woman murdered her fiancé?

but I know as a woman I am constitutionally of the same value as a foetus

In Ireland, if a woman becomes pregnant by rape and aborts the child she faces more prison time than her rapist.

She's not a murderer, just a paddlephile.

I canoe help you with that.

“Men are afraid women will take their canoe paddles. Women are afraid of losing their spirituality.”

I don’t think anyone should feel obligated to commiserate. I just think that it’s tempting to look at someone like Ferreira and say “well, she benefits from objectification, so what’s her problem?” But while that’s tempting, it also buys into the whole problem with objectification in the first place. It reinforces the…
