Lol! No of course I’m not ok with it. I realized a long time after my comment went up that the first sentence is missing somehow? I was saying that it’s not sexual assault. I’m not even sure I would call it groping. But yeah, of course it’s not right and I wonder what would hve happened if she did have something…

Ok hang on. I see the problem here. I went back to my original comment, which was a reply to someone else who said that this was a sexual assault in progress, and the very first sentence I wrote seems to be missing. It was a sentence where I said “I don’t think this counts as sexual assault.” I was writing from my…

No. I didn’t think I had to point out that the abuse of power was bad. The evidence is right there. I am pointing out that it is not sexual assault. For crying out loud, does anyone here know how to read?

Yes. You hit it right on the money, and was what I was clumsily trying to point out, so hopefully, you won't receive the same kind of crap I did for saying it.

You are totally correct. “Borderline harassment” I will not argue with. “Sexual assault,” though?

You are correct and I agree. I was takin issue with the term “sexual assault”

Sigh. I didn't say he had the right to touch her, I just said it wasn't sexual assault.

He didn’t “rub all over” her, though you are right that touching her was wrong. I am not a fan of hyperbole. It doesn’t help anyone’s argument.

The touching was unwarranted but not “creepy” or sexual. I read your comment before I saw the video and your comment didn’t really reflect what it shows. I’m sorry that’s happened to you, and it has certainly happened to me as well. Like you said, women’s bodies are often disrespected. But considering this guy’s lack…

Agreed. I was just saying it didn't look like sexual assault. Someone who's skirting the boundary of an appropriate search? Absolutely.

Actually, it looked like he thought he saw something in her pocket and was askin her what it was. He then guided her hands away from her pockets in case she was trying to hide it or get rid of it. He does sort of tap her pocket but that's it. However, I don't understand how is why he went all apeshit on the dude with…

I am somehow reminded of this:

Meh. She's got all those other kids to help look after her. I'm fed sing some of those siblings are going to be responsible for raising this new lot.

Picture it. 1993 on a charter bus coming back from a two-hour field trip. Me, an extremely awkward freshman with ravishing hair and a figure that said salad, an appetite that said chili cheese dogs, pizza, nachos and ice cream, and beady eyes that said miopia. My crush was sitting in the back of the bus. I couldn’t so…

Because it implies that Blacks aren’t usually well-spoken, or the more common code term: “articulate.” It’s used much more often as a way to say that it’s so much better when they sound “white” and discounts that someone can be well-spoken and not, in fact, have to sound like Martha Stewart.

Muchísima gracias. Te lo agradezco y te lo devuelvo. Estoy cansada de decir que seguiré rezando, pero que otra alternativa nos queda?

You know, honestly, I don't even know what there is to say. The fact is, a huge portion of the world has lived in this kind of perpetual misery for ages and we know about it and we still don't really do a thing. I think the tragedy of what's happened in my country is that this is so recent. We are an oil-rich nation.…

Not that I know of. There's tons of money (or there was) but it's all been stolen and everything mismanaged. The recent drop in oil prices hasn't helped, but honestly, I think it would have happened anyway. Anything that anyone would try to donate at this point would be either sold on the black market or hoarded.

I'm Venezuelan. You can't even buy an aspirin right now. Drug stores, grocery stores, you name it. All empty.

but at the same time, aren't you excited about the possibilities? Like, are they anticipating more lobster pussy stories to come?
