Opting out of a contract isn’t remotely the same thing as quitting a job. Opting out is a normal and intended part of the labor market of professional sports.

The lawsuit was filed in 2006. He lost his teaching license in 2008.

Not getting your point. I never said there shouldn’t be prisons or prisoners. I’m saying it’s gross to pretend that a ‘ward’ of the state can righteously ‘volunteer’ and it’s more gross to say the program exists to help the inmates redeem themselves. It exists to use inmates as slave labor.

“The problem is that they’re being underpaid, and they’re not likely to get firefighting work once they’re out.”

Yeah, and white privilege is the only reason we’re still hearing about her even though her influence on the rap industry was exceedingly minor. At some point (i.e. a good several years after her career ended) it makes zero sense to continue boosting her name and giving her free publicity.

So why can’t you get them through an online doctor’s service, like we can with birth control pills and other medication?

Jezebel is the only media venue still doing thinkpieces on this has-been. She was a minor, flash-in-the-pan novelty act at best, and hasn’t released anything in years, so I’m not sure why she’s still a thing here with so many female MCs who actually need and deserve the publicity.

“It appears that he’s so focused on furthering his own self-interest, he’s making decisions from the seat that he’s sitting,”

The people who’re freaking out about this now don’t realize Scouting is over a century old and needs to change if it doesn’t want to die.

He really needs to stop. It’s so embarrassing.

Or you could stop having sex for money and get a job that is legal

The world would be a better place if everybody deleted their Facebook account.

Out of curiosity...did we ever actually get confirmation that it was The Rock and Vin Diesel that had beef on the set of the last movie? Because the way Tyrese has been acting lately I’m beginning to feel like he might have been the real problem.

It is tacky and gross that Tyrese keeps bringing up Paul Walker to justify his bitching about having to wait for his paycheck on the next F&F movie when he is really mad that The Rock is getting his own movie and he isn’t.

I had to stop after a minute or two - so gross - what a creep.

“Well, he never tried to touch me and I’m like, WAY hotter than all those other uggos, so they must be lying about him.”

I love your hatred for her. I can kind of only shake my head usually but the whole “she was asking for it” defense people espouse needs to fucking stop already. It took me a decade before I started to believe what happened to me was actually not my fault.

Monday morning after the shooting I heard a radio DJ joke that if we wanted to see real action on gun-control, we’d have to get every black man in America to legally purchase an AR15, and where legal, open carry in an organized, large-scale, show-of-arms.

“The places where our murder rates are the highest are places where there is intense poverty, and where the police are just not solving murders.”
