Aren’t all actresses aging? The live ones, surely.

Yeah, I mean the Catholic Church never wins, right?

Sadly, these anti-abortion measures cause more pain and hardship to actual live children.

that was the best part of the story! The rest is sad.

There is a lot that can be done to reduce child abuse, and is no mystery to most “experts” on how to do that, but we keep voting for assholes who want to keep as many people poor and disenfranchised as possible. Meanwhile, what do we do for children who are living in dangerous conditions right now?

Human flaws do not excuse child abuse or neglect, just like they don’t excuse domestic violence or serial killing. There is always a reason someone does something, but that doesn’t mean we have to be okay with it. (It’s true that people are judged unfairly when they are poor or non-white and it’s also true that…

I understand people are poor parents for a reason, but if you neglect or abuse a child, it doesn’t really matter. The social welfare system does not always work, is badly funded/ badly governed, etc.. but not because children are taken away needlessly from good parents.

He needs money and some way to save face/ looks like he’s “the winner”. If this could happen quietly, he’d say yes immediately.

Whose country and military are you talking about (“our Country and Military”)? You don’t speak for me or every other N. American. You sound very threatened by POC participating in democracy, as if they aren’t truly citizens. Some advice: your outrage isn’t going to stop this protest, but your anger is going to…

Wouldn’t it be nice if gvt. would support secular churches? Neighbors could enjoy the sharing of tax free property, be a hub for information and support?

He’s a university president in Nashville. Come on, can he really be that ignorant? I doubt he personally chose the food and decorations himself, but once he knew/saw the menu, if he really cared, he would have cancelled the dinner if he had to. Racism definitely in play here and I can’t be convinced he or his…

I don’t think it’s very weird at all. I’m sure doing stupid interviews and playing the celebrity game gets really tired after a while and you don’t want to just give people the “blah blah blah. Great! Love it!” garbage talk that they need for their shows/papers. His ideas aren’t very off from many mainstream…

It’s really horrifying that all these adults are legally free to pimp out a 14 year old girl. I know she’s repulsive and tacky, but this still is a child who I think is being exploited. The music industry is a very dangerous place for a kid who most likely (I know.. I’m just making a guess) has already been…

Wow- that’s a great lesson for them! I doubt they’ll forget it. In my public middle school my teacher told us we didn’t have to do the pledge and could even leave the room if we found it distasteful. Although I think I did participate, I remember feeling respected as a person (not a just a child) when he reminded…

This rigid thinking you have is blinding you from seeing what is best for everyone. Why be a “rules are rules” guy when a program like DACA addresses the concerns of legal status while empathizing with people who only know the US as home?

Being opposed to abortion for yourself vs. being politically anti abortion is the distinction I make. If you are trying to take choice/bodily autonomy/rights from other women, you aren’t promoting equality.

What is a “true christian”? Isn’t it just someone who calls themselves one? Or is a true christian like a more spiritual version of a humanist? Why not just get rid of the religious part and just be a good person?

Great review! I hope to see more of his work. There’s a quiet and open endedness to the film that seemed “risky” in a competitive field of documentaries. I saw this at a film festival and don’t think it got as much buzz as it deserved.

Curious family member.

I don’t really think it’s that bad- just dumb.   This kind of “expose” isn’t very helpful. Perhaps it doesn’t make a difference, but I have close family members were holocaust survivors and I think his apology is perfectly fine/is a good explanation. The outrage here seems misdirected.
