Well, apparently if you do thousands of dollars of damage to someone's house, it's a felony. This is why you don't piss your neighbors off, especially in LA.
Can I get an example of how we take it for granted? Becauseeeee I'm a huge fan of this team and have never taken it for granted...
While I agree, the bottom line is I don't see any reason for them to go easy on him when he is guilty. He brings up how courts wouldn't hear the sort of evidence that was used against him and he is right, a legal court wouldn't, a civil court actually would allow a fair bit of them so I see no reason to not allow it…
Personally, I'm tired of people coming to the defence of a man whose reputation is tarnished beyond repair, and for good reason. Once a leader, over time, the man transformed into a villain and a poster boy for a conflict between what is right and what is ethically erroneous and misguided. His actions have not only…
These trademark guys are hard to please. They denied my application for my smoking cessation plan, "Beat the fags!" just a couple weeks ago.
Now I feel bad — you don't have to say that. We agree. That's good.
You know what? I've been thinking more about it, and now I'm about to do something you rarely see in comment sections on the internet:
The sanctions don't target the North Korean people. The reason they're starving is not because of sanctions. The sanctions are the reason it's hard for Kim Jong Un to get anyone fun to come to his birthday party.
Weird, because you kind of said the opposite.
Dennis Rodman and these basketball players, even if they don't know it, aren't doing it for the people of North Korea. This is all for Kim Jong Un. An extremely small portion of the population will get to experience this, probably people who are among North Korea's elite, to make it look like it is being performed for…
I don't excuse anything Rodman has done, but I do feel that it's important to point out that Rodman has a serious, serious substance abuse problem.
How is speaking proper English "selling out"?
Nothing annoys me more than people who don't get the simple concept of turn the channel if you don't like something. Especially if it's an established show and you know they sometimes do humor like this. How about you stop watching it with your kids?
Let's enjoy it while it lasts, Queen Liz is going to be the last female monarch of Great Britain we see in our lifetime. Unless we live very very verrrrrry long.
I fail to see how a single thing you wrote is even remotely inconsistent with "nobody wants to pick a fight with the local heroes of the football team." Of course she's been ambivalent about pressing charges, look how pressing charges turned out for her. Listen to any account from any rape victim about interaction…
Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I don't think she alluded to Johnson's case for any reason other than to say Meggs might be concerned on his own behalf for losing the case. I don't think she was trying to say Johnson was guilty, but rather that Meggs might consider avoiding the Winston case because of the beating he…
Innocent until proven guilty is a *legal standard* it doesn't, nor should it, stop people from looking at the evidence available and coming to their own conclusions. If you want to say this particular example is irresponsibly or unpersuasively doing that, then fine. I don't agree, but you could argue that. The idea…
Innocent until proven guilty only applies (sometimes, depending on the defendant) to criminal courts. In civil courts (and often in the court of public opinion), the standard is more commonly a preponderance (or more likely) outcome.
Was there a different title up there before? Because "Why I believe Jameis Winston's Accuser" doesn't seem out of bounds to me. Newspapers often publish editorials where the title is an opinion, and it's understood the opinion belongs to the author, not the paper as a whole. Since every Gawker site is designed to be…
