“As well Freedom of Speech protects you from the government no one said you’d be free of consequence”

He’s backing what he sees as freedom of speech; it’s pretty clear he does not agree with bigotry.

Don’t forget she helped desegregate women’s tennis.

The attorney is Samoan by ethnicity, so maybe his hair appearance is rooted in genetics and/or culture, so maybe it’s not appropriate for all of you to be mocking it.

Good points. Also, as admirable as getting a neuroscience PhD is, I don’t know if it automatically qualifies one as a “genius” without any further achievement. Or that it necessary indicates ability at calculus — there are many scientists who are very good scientists who have “studied calculus for many years” with…

Also for all the usual complaining about appearance policing here, there’s a lot of sneering at this guy’s appearance.

I think that might be a little uncharitable; he’s doing his job, and I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong about being a criminal defense attorney.

Eh, the thing is, he probably actually didn’t want to kill either one of them, just hurt them. Though I do agree that generally he appears to be a classic sociopath.

Full nudity would work even better.

“and for Shelley to have written Frankenstein at such young age, well it’s pretty impressive.”

The biggest problem that I’ve had with Law and Order is it has never used Ice T and Richard Belzer enough. They’re just a lot more fun to watch than the leads.

And forcing someone to go to their room is false imprisonment.

Yes you can stop your 10-year old child from getting their…

The weird thing is I’d bet most of them are from elsewhere; most of the people I grew up with in NYC moved to other places later, and it’s the recent transplants who seem so desperate to prove their cosmopolitanhood.

Let’s be fair here, us New Yorkers get plenty of criticism from places like Kentucky and (especially) Texas as liberal commie wimpy flag-sneering latte-swilling troop-hating terrorist-appeasers.

In my late, late 30’s I could totally outmaneuver someone only 10 years younger than me. The amount of Machiavellian maneuvering someone 40 years older than me could pull on me must be beyond even my comprehension.

The pool’s shrinking on both ends, unfortunately.

The human kidney is overengineered; you can get by with one with no shortened lifespan. If you have to lose an organ, it’s certainly the best one to go.

It’s an inverse hierarchy; she reports to the Junior Vice-Chancellor, who reports to the Junior Deputy Vice-Chancellor, and so on. The actual head of Oxford all the way at the top of that reporting hierarchy is the Third Assistant Deputy Groundskeeper.
