I think you are confused in a fairly serious way here.

Sure. I’d imagine a terribly common defense for many similar criminal defenses isn’t that different. There are many things that can be changed that will change how rape is treated in our criminal justice system that don’t involve telling the defendant that they can’t defend themselves. It needn’t be a kangaroo court.

Absolutely! I live in one of the few cities that have a J Crew bridal shop, and this last summer went with my best friend to try dresses on. I had looked 4 years ago and been happy, but we were just so disappointed with the price and the quality. I remember finding exceptional dresses in the 700-1200 price range. No…

I’m pretty sure the reason women don’t come forth when raped or assaulted is not because the rapist has a chance to defend themselves.

This just didn’t used to be true. It used to be that their clothes lasted fucking FOREVER. It was worth paying twice as much as the gap or whatever for clothes that lasted 100x as long. When did they start thinking that people weren’t buying their products BECAUSE they were made of great materials and lasted forever.…

This is true: never underestimate the sheer evilness and depravity of republican primary voters.

Basically my entire wardrobe was J Crew up until 2009-10 or so. The problem is the quality has gone way down while the price has skyrocketed. I could count on sweaters lasting for years and years; I have some that are in great shape that are easily 10-12 years old. Even the shoes were good! But going there now is just…

I agree, as much as it pains me to say it I would have a terrible time with my child marrying a republican. I mean, think how awful the in laws would be!

Um, sure? Not exactly clear what you are aiming for with that.

I agree, and I hope it doesn’t work, but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be used.

I agree, and I hope he is convicted and does serious time. But he does need to have a defense, and his lawyer has chosen to question the credibility of the witnesses which—I don’t know what else they could have chosen if they weren’t going to accept a plea deal.

You are just being rude to me now. I commented about George Washington in the other thread to extend an olive branch, and to hope that we could put whatever nastiness we have behind us and just chat occasionally like everyone else. Is that not possible?

You’re trying to hard. If you want to successfully act condescending it can’t come across just how desperate you are to to provoke a reaction.

Didn’t George Washington either ride in or show up as a dignitary to a hot air balloon ride/exposition while he was president?

And Bernie Sanders.

You are a delusional piece of shit with about the biggest persecution complex I’ve ever come across. Thanks for the response.

I always thought you were a person with a lot of integrity, even if I disagreed with you. Disappointing that you are not responding/apologizing.

Coward.

I guess you don’t reply when you know you’re wrong. You could just say you misread it or something.
