Thanks for saying this. Not to mention he divorced Andrea—despite his religion supposedly not “permitting” it—and he married another woman. The Yates case is one example where I feel like the partner has as much responsibility as the actual murderer, and it’s gross he didn’t face any consequences. Especially when she…

Sensible gun control actually does remove a real cause of gun violence. As far as picking a fight, you responded to ME, cupcake, spouting off about Hillary Clinton and her gun policies like I identified myself as a Hillary Clintons supporter or give two shits about how you feel regarding her policies. The logic fail…

“Moronic” liberals have proposed gun restrictions so that innocent people stop getting killed by the culture which fetishizes the gun to the point of caring more about some hypothetical right to own it, versus the guaranteed, explicitly stated and morally codified right of others to be allowed to live. That’s hardly…

It probably is rape, and I know that I would likely label it so for anyone else. I think I get tripped up on the fact that I was fairly promiscuous then, and so if he hadn’t been so awful, the odds are, I would have had sex with him anyway. But it would have been very different circumstances and I am cognizant of that…

I’m sure he did know exactly what he was doing. All these years later, what sticks with me is the fact he could not seem to grasp that violence is a real threat to women—I wasn’t a terribly articulate or even critical feminist then, but I had a basic vocabulary I was working with—as well as the fact that he was…

As you said, it isn’t the same scope or motivation, and as long as that’s the case, it’s not oppression. It’s not even discrimination. It’s the public welfare being prioritized.

Whether or not the comparison is apt, it’s disingenuous to imply that gun owners face anything remotely like oppression.

I once went on a really horrific date with an acquaintance who was fascinated with guns. I had no idea he was so into guns until he pulled one out, while driving, and insisted on driving around with it on his lap. I was terrified. I’d never seen a gun up close before, but I had been a victim of violence in the past…

When “gun people” start being denied jobs, housing, and right to life—rather than being the ones who are responsible for denying others their right to life—we can talk about the rush to judgment in making such labeling statements.

Did someone make sure that the victim and the instructor did not previously date? Because men.

I think that’s intentional, at this point. :/

The only way their knowledge of the consequence matters is if they indeed robbed the warehouse, are charged for that crime, and ultimately convicted in a court of law. All three have to be present in order for your premise to hold true, and so far, none of them are. Without them, as is the case here, your argument is…

I’m gearing up for a three-week trip soon, and my husband and six-year-old daughter won’t be able to join me for the first two. It’s making me tear up because I’ve only been away from her a handful of times in her entire life. I could not imagine missing out on 30 days, especially the first 30.

And she has a fucking AWESOME name. I would cosplay the shit out of Amber Wolf.

I just made this same point. Glad to see someone else saw the nuance here!

Except that it isn’t, always. You’re talking about your hatred of blanket statements while totally ignoring the level of discretion that goes into the legal process, everything from how a defendant is charged to what sentence they face. Granted, some police officers, district attorneys, and judges are strictly by the…
