This is getting dangerous.

Interestingly, Bonjor Tristesse does come up in the Neapolitan novels though - if I remember correctly the first novel published by the narrator is compared to it - so I imagine it was an influence on Ferrante.
I think that when you start throwing around huge sums of money you lose the ability to remain in the shadows. We’re not talking about even most successful authors who live comfy middle-class lives. We’re talking about levels of wealth that have distinct and clear effects on political processes. That does triple for…
My response was basically, “Well, I wouldn’t be opposed to that if you wanted it, you just can’t expect me to ‘just do it’ without any interaction from you.”
I and my partner see RGB as our goal. Not sitting on the court, but me being her Marty.
I have a hard time with this since my partner, in anger, told me she wanted me to “Cook, Clean and be quiet”.
As long as our policing is biased and white supremacist we get nowhere. We need to disband police and create a new system that is based on intelligence and compassion.
You make the whole point I made.
Oh hey, looks like I finally ringed you for likes on a statement.
Awesome. Sounds like this is seriously meaningful. Thank you!
Rape culture... Black Americans being shot; Mentally ill people being killed; victims being told they aren’t victims...
I think that someone like Trump will “encourage” people to launch accusations in order to do things like prevent dems from voting on bills. Which only happens when we make stupid claims like an elected official should be removed from office because of an accusation.
Damn right I do. Thanks for realizing!
The point is that we can’t ignore the problem that is presented by law enforcement’s disinterest. All of these extra-legal measures are just ignoring the core issue that cops don’t care about much other than their overtime pay.
The bigger issue is the cops, themselves. Every bad-handling of sexual assault is forced on people like schools and communities because we’ve given up on reforming our police. If cops took rape seriously, college boards would be seen as the farce they are. If cops took rape seriously we wouldn’t have a liberal rep…
I agree with you aside from the police. They intentionally hire people of sub-par intelligence and are legally protected to reject high-IQ applicants for having a high-IQ.
Yep. Because he’s a rapist. But a liberal rep wanting to disenfranchise someone elected by the public is a problem. We need to stop calling for punitive action first.
Like it or not, removing an elected official from office or preventing them from taking elected office based on an accusation and not an investigation (though I think the intent is to obviously spark an investigation) is a seriously dangerous road to travel.
I think this is awful, but I also think we need to recommit to “innocent until proven guilty”. If we start preventing people from attaining elected office because of an accusation, do you not think the GOP will use the same tactic to essentially filibuster nominees? If all it takes is an accusation to prevent someone…
