The grand jury doesn’t look at all the facts. They only look at the facts the prosecutor wants them to see. If the prosecutor wanted these cops to go to trial, they would. But if the prosecutor doesn’t want that, nothing happens. The problem is the grand jury never got to hear any arguments for why these cops should…

An employer always has to consider lawsuits and what could happen in the future. If he were to sexually harass someone in the future, the employer could be held responsible for keeping him in that position. It will be up to his party to decide if they feel firing is the best thing to do since they could face…

But if you’re an employer would you let that kind of “lack of professionalism” continue or would you discipline someone? I don’t think it’s wrong for employers or in this case a political party to set high expectations. He can sext 17 year olds all he wants. Just not one’s he comes into contact with through his job.

I see it this way. This girl contacts him about a job and he starts sending her sexually explicit messages. She seemed to be fine with that. However, it’s still wrong because other women may not be ok with that happening, if he were to try it with others. They may consider it sexual harassment. I think it’s more a…

I assume he’s getting disciplined because someone contacted him about a job and his response was to send sexually explicit messages.

I think she was very wrong in this as well. But it doesn’t change the fact that he was a potential employer and used his position in this way.

I think since she contacted him about a job he may be fired based on that. A young woman should be able to contact a man about a job without getting sexually explicit messages in response. It was definitely an abuse of his position.

That makes more sense. I love Led Zeppelin’s music and between allegations of plagiarism and child rape, I’m ashamed I do. But their music was just so good. The whole separating the art from the artist debate is very interesting.

A lot of the old guys were sleeping with 14 year olds, so things may actually be a bit better today.

Not just for dads. You just have to appeal to a high percentage of guys to be authentic. A lot of music festivals will keep the percentage of female acts at about 30% max even though women usually make up half of attendees. They don’t want to turn off guys by being too girly with too many women in the lineup. Like it…

That’s the problem with trying to create boybands aimed at very young girls. Guys that age aren’t exactly going to be a good example. Young girls obviously aren’t going to know that. The fact that parents often encourage that interest baffles me as well. Then those parents get upset when it turns out these guys aren’t…

I feel sorry for the fans. They’re mostly tween and early teen girls and it must really hurt to idolize these guys and then find out this how they feel about their “girl” fans. I can see how some would go into denial. But others are very upset and they’ve lost some fans over this.

Look at all the retweets and favorites teen actress Rowan Blanchard got when she tweeted about this.

He’s done songs with Pitbull and Nicki Minaj. His picture is on the front page of the Consequence of Sound website right now. His music is also prominently displayed for sale for use on Dance Central on the XBox. So, I’m always shocked when people are surprised he’s still big.

The thing is if he hadn’t fled I’m sure his lawyers would have easily got him off over the video. Now he’ll actually go to jail and probably his mom too.

the cop who shot white teenager Christopher Roupe when she mistook his Wii controller for a gun was never charged. Gilbert Collar, a white teen, was killed by a black cop in Alabama and the prosecutor made sure the cop didn’t face charges. It’s not always the case that white victims get justice.

Cindy Hahn is a middle class white woman who was beaten by cops in front of her kids in Carlsbad, CA. Her case has gotten little attention. It’s not that white people aren’t regularly victimized by police. They actually are. Half the unarmed people killed by police are white. It’s just that other white people don’t…

No, that’s not what he means. He means they won’t be seen as an authentic rock band if guys aren’t into them. Can you imagine a band saying “we’re trying to be a real band and not just one guys are into.” It would never happen. And many of their mostly tween girl fans are rightfully upset. Sure many male artists…

The Bieber/5SOS feud may be boring but 5SOS’s feelings about their female fans are pretty shocking.

It’s so hard to say what would happen in China. As women get more economic opportunities they may be less interested in having kids. Birth rates are below replacement in many countries because many women would rather focus on careers than have kids. I’d worry more about population growth in places like Pakistan and…
