Watching the video only made me realize how different the 1% is from the rest of us.

I agree. It makes sense to me that the records would be relevant given the allegations. Which sucks, but I would hope the judge would at least enter a protective order to ensure that they won’t be made public, just available to the defense.

Preach. I wish I was as skinny as my boobs think I am.

I’m small and I love these. But I also acknowledge that they are really just training bras that have been re-labelled. So, yes, I am wearing a training bra in my 30s.

It’s weird because it’s a contract claim. I mean, if she was suing him for emotional distress resulting from the sexual assault, then I think he would very clearly be entitled to these. You can’t make a claim for emotional distress, ask for all sorts of money, and then deny the other side the opportunity to determine…

But should you be punished as an adult (when you’re 16) and be charged with homicide? Or should you be charged as a minor (which you are) and be charged with assault?

Everything I have read is that it was an arranged fight. Also, the other two girls were filming it, but did not participate in the fight. It was a pre-arranged fight between two girls, one of whom died from an unknown heart condition. I’m not saying that it’s right. But I don’t know if it’s homicide.

Civil litigation. Not criminal. Not sure the same concept applies. Also, would assumption of the risk apply here? Or is that purely civil?

It’s also not like she jumped her. They agreed to fight. It was a mutual decision. The defendant could have just as easily been the one dead from some unanticipated complication of the fight. Stop pretending like this was some horrible situation where the victim got jumped, unaware. She arranged a location to fight…

Really? It’s pretty common to charge people when the victim agreed to fight? It’s pretty common to charge people when that victim who agreed to fight ends up with an unknown heart condition which kills her? It could have just as easily been the defendant here who died from some unknown condition. They were both…

I think what she means is that these teenagers arranged to fight. It’s not like the victim was jumped unanticipated. She chose to engage in this behavior. So did the defendant. One of them died due to an unknown heart condition. And 99% of teenage girls would have survived the fight. The defendant here had no…

No shit. I have yet to see a picture of him where he even looks sane.

Well, I think the person who is pretending she is a feminist here is Kirsten Stewart, who has many times said she is in fact a feminist. A feminist would not work with someone who has a history of sexually abusing other females. All that being said, you are right that it is not her job to somehow punish him.

Yeah, I figured she was probably using it as an excuse. But I also know that any disease can cause rare complications under the right circumstances. I bet, though, there are doctors everywhere cringing at her saying this.

Is this even true about Lyme disease? I have a friend who was diagnosed with it, and she was certainly mentally and physically exhausted for a long time before getting the correct diagnosis, but I don’t remember any crazy behavior.

Yeah, they are two different hooks for the federal government. Typically, when the federal government is on shaky legal grounds and cannot force a state to do something, they will get the state to comply by threatening to revoke funding in some way. For example, a state decides that it doesn’t want a speed limit.…

I don’t care how she did it. I’m just happy to see a female musician being that much more successful than men. You know how many times music executives have said that women don’t sell as well as men? Or radio stations refusing to play female artists because people just don’t like them? Good for her for making it in a…

Ditto. And any time one of my friends with kids tries to convince me to have some, I feel like they’re trying to drag me into some sort of miserable cult to validate their own life choices. There are, obviously, some that are very, very happy to have children. But it seems to be the small percentage.

That’s such bullshit and I’m sorry you had to go through that. I can’t understand why people are such assholes sometimes.

Any person who has struggled with anorexia is not surprised by this.
