I’ve had friends and family members miscarry and receive a certificate of birth or baptism from the church. That was more than enough to give them some degree of closure and make them feel like their child’s existence, however brief, was acknowledged. I’m leery of the government interfering with this process in any…

I bet there was constituent demand. I had a friend who had a stillbirth, (not the same, but for many women it is similar) and getting the birth certificate was really important to their family. I definitely also understand the concern here, don’t get me wrong, but hopefully the wording and that it’s optional will…

Especially younger women who have no idea what age is going to do to them.

Yeah, I’m not so sure that is true. Before I became disabled, I worked out at our local rec center. There were lots of women checking each other’s bodies out. You could overhear the whispered conversations and sometimes stifled giggling. Not all women are as enlightened as we wish they were. Especially, those with…

Show us on the doll where the apple hurt you.

It definitely is when you are hammered. Also, who gives a shit about the orientation of video in 2017, fuck sake.

Just think this is civilized compared to the old “Show Us Your Boobs” days at Indy.

True, but that particular Denny’s is a total shithole. It’s next to a flop house motel full of hookers and drug dealers, and the Denny’s clientele to match. Someone got stabbed there last year the night before the 500.

There is a Denny’s open late on Crawfordsville Road near the track. Listen to me as I tell you all this: NEVER GO THERE!

This Taco Bell slagging needs to stop.

IT SHALL NOT STAND

While Indycar drivers are getting robbed, engineers in NASCAR country have fully operational Waffle House technology.

I suspect she felt protected under the assumption that a man wouldn’t hit a woman. In fact, it appears she felt that assumption gave her license to say whatever she wanted. If it was a black woman, she might have not said anything. She is taking advantage of the appropriate social understanding that a man should not…

I kind of think people can change if they want to. If I hadn’t changed, I’d probably be on the road to divorce. I realized last year that my anxiety was slowly eroding my relationship, so I’ve spent this past year working on me. My husband similarly realized that I was never going to be anxiety-free, so he’s been…

This just proves what I’ve always believed: bicyclists are history’s greatest monsters.

Not one person in this thread has significant knowledge of what occurred, but false accusations are fairly uncommon.

Has anyone heard anything more about the allegations against Michael Gira of Swans? As far as I can tell, nothing came of it. As a music fan, I tend to just take the wait and see approach when things like this happen. Shit will either continue to come out about them if they’re truly awful people, or it won’t. PWR…

“give the victim the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise?”

Yeah if you’re trying to get an honest answer about that question from Super Serious Internet People who have always acted within the lines of acceptable morality all of the time and never do anything because they never leave their houses, you’re not gonna get much traction on the “everybody makes mistakes” front.

What does that even mean? Bye Facebook. You’re not very smart, Instagram!

Stop pretending you have any knowledge of what occurred and admit your viewpoint is based on activism and ideology and not evidence.
