I’m sorry I really have no idea what you’re going on about. I need to do work do I?! I’ve read everything you posted and the corresponding links. They do not answer my question. I’m not sure you even understand what my question is.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand. You’re obviously implying that her response to the backlash was inappropriate or dismissive. What are you suggesting she should have done? Not apologise? Anyway, me saying she should perhaps apologise is not the point of my comment, which you seem to have missed or ignored.

“Instead spent recent days trashing UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn” - Why is that presented as though it’s a ridiculous thing for her to be doing instead of apologising? Perhaps she should apologise, but why should her engagement with politics be used against her as though it’s further proof of her being a bad person?…

Not really... think it’s more that the law aligns with parents’ natural limit for what they feel is appropriate physical punishment. I.e. he’s been hitting him to the extent that he feels is appropriate and in hindsight that matches up with the law because he’s not abusive? I don’t really believe in physical…

Maybe I’ve only seen the PG version.

Am I the only person in the world not overly bothered by the donut-licking incident? In terms of dumb shit people do when they’re high/drunk at the age of 20 this does not rank highly on my outrage-o-meter.

She’s an Oscar-nominated actress who’s been in a long list of critically-acclaimed films. If you’re ignorant of that and incapable of googling then it’s not a reflection on her. Yes, her parents are rich. So are Taylor’s. Both women have made their own money too, and Rooney Mara doesn’t need any of Taylor’s.

Ahh I was wondering if anyone here had seen Blackpool! Such a bizarre show. I’m going to have to watch it all again now that I’ve been reminded of it.

Freedom of religion doesn’t mean never having to hear someone challenge your views.

But there’s absolutely no reason to think it’s the latter... we can’t just go around assuming anyone who references sex ever is actually a sexual predator.

It’s bad that sometimes men want to have casual sex with women, and bad that sometimes women want to have casual sex with men. That’s all I can take from this waste-of-time article...

It’s strange - it does seem like it should be super trivial comparatively but it really, really creeped me out too. Calling her a ‘girl’ would have been eyebrow raising, but ‘little girl’? Why?!

I don’t think anyone’s said someone’s name correlates indefinitely to how they look. But I really think it’s the least bizarre concept ever that a person’s name would give you a good indication of their appearance... Are you saying that you don’t believe the results of the study, or that the black applicants were…

Ballet dancers are incredibly elitist. I can’t imagine that the imitation of any other profession/hobby would cause so much of a fuss.

It is an absolute joke. What if a teenager who’d never done ballet before decided they wanted to take it up as a hobby? And took a picture of themselves practising? Would that be appropriation? Or is it jsut because this is a photoshoot? By that logic eventually the pages of Vogue will be filled with models in beige…

Why are you saying that? Do you think it’s irrelevant that she assaulted him multiple times while he tried to get her to leave the apartment, with rocks and with a telescope? It’s obviously of huge importance for the case. Not ‘apologism’

Not by anyone’s definition is he a b-list nobody. He’s been nominated for two Oscars in the past three years.

Same. While I voted to remain, and wish that had been the outcome, there are legitimate reasons to vote for Brexit which I can understand, which are not related to racism (not denying some were motivated by racism but it’s wrong to think that’s the sole reason, which seems to be many Americans’ conclusion).

Richard Ayoade’s amazing. I’d really recommend his film Submarine too. I was just watching his interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy today as well, before seeing this article, which is hilarious. I really, really can’t imagine him wanting to host GBBO though... but who knows.

You’re really going to use Lindsay Lohan as an example of someone who’s had an easy ride in the public eye?
