Can’t they just subpoena and depose the therapist?

For me it depends on the likelihood of the defendant doing something similar again. If she’s shown a tendency to be violent in the past, try her as an adult because she poses a clear threat to others. If this was a one time thing where teenage melodrama got way out of control, try her as a juvenile because she likely…

Liang at least had the excuse that it was an accident. This was an execution.

I think the problem is with expectations that are set for officers as well as poor training. It’s harder for cops to misbehave if they’re actually going to be held accountable. Even if a cop is an asshole, he’ll have to keep his asshole behavior in check on the job if he knows he’s going to be held accountable. So I…

Because courts have decided that cops shouldn’t be prosecuted if they fear their life is in danger. In this case, the victim was running away when he was shot, so the cop can’t make the “I feared for my life argument.” Ray Tensing shot a man who was driving away and has also been charged with murder. I think there…

It’s kind of how rape doesn’t really happen and women are making it all up. Until it’s immigrants or refuges committing the rapes. Then it’s a real thing and women must be protected at all costs.

The best way to reduce abortion is to reduce poverty. The problem is the “pro-life” crowd keeps electing politician that want to cut assistance to the poor. So, the “pro-life” crowd actually helps to create the conditions that increase the likelihood that women will choose to have an abortion over giving birth. Of…

She has a song about him called Dancing with the Devil. But she wrote it in early 2012 and it’s about how she’ll never be able to escape him and she’s accepting her fate.

I actually didn’t watch that because I felt it would depress me too much knowing she’s still trapped in that situation. I also can’t listen to her song Dancing with the Devil, that she wrote about Luke, even though it’s a fantastic song.

The tour is a festival that was started by Diplo. So she’ll be touring with a bunch of acts.

This site believes in supporting victims, which is an extremely important thing to do. It doesn’t believe in people using their own victimization as an excuse to victimize others.

Well now we know what actually goes on inside Pat Robertson’s head.

My husband used to be one of those people. It didn’t matter who we sat next to, he always struck up a conversation. Once we were sitting next to a 19 year old girl and I thought surely he wouldn’t start a conversation with her. How interesting could someone so young actually be? Well he did start a conversation with…

I thought it was this kind of behavior that made her irrelevant. A lot of her fans turned against her.

No is the one song that I know of hers that I don’t think is terrible lyrically. I actually like the point it’s making. I just don’t like the overall sound of the song. I don’t see it as immature though. A lot of songs use mockery to make a point and that seems to be what she’s going for. Songs that use mockery can be…

I don’t know if I agree about her being a mean girl. I don’t know much about her to judge. But I think overweight girls have a lot of negative experiences that impact how they think and see the world. So while she’s said problematic things, she’s likely had many negative experiences that make her feel that way.

I don’t care for her music but I understand people have different taste and would never bash anyone for liking it. But some of her lyrics have been questionable from a feminist perspective. I don’t like her song No because of how it’s delivered but lyrically I like what she’s saying in it. It’s a more feminist…

After starting out huge Meghan’s career has slowed down quite a bit. So I think the label is trying to focus people’s attention on her with a bit of manufactured scandal. It’s a smart move tbh.

Good music is subjective and people with refined taste only listen to genres like classical or jazz. All pop, rock, folk, electronic, and country music is low brow. It’s kind of ridiculous to claim a love for these genres puts someone on the mental level of a middle school kid.

Photoshop has now unofficially become a verb to describe digitally altering something whether Photoshop is used or not. It’s like how people say they’ll xerox something instead of photocopy. This is how language evolves and words take on new meaning.
