The alerts seem to be slightly messed up, too.

You gotta admit though, for political talk it's very level-headed and civil.

And yet they fired the guy behind why the movies are so great and are depriving him of enjoying the growth the movies helped him experience.

I live in New England and we're supposed to have the best schools in the country, but we really screw up in regards to teaching history. When I was in school from the 1970s-1990, it was primarily memorization of dates and individual people and events that was required. Now that I have a son who...

My big questions are, how far is it going to escalate before change actually takes place, and will the change that does eventually happen mean we'll be better off.

See, this really, REALLY bothers me. False accusations and blowing details out of proportion is as harmful as the abuse is to begin with. EDIT: I'm tired today, lol. That should end with "especially for victims who are afraid to come forward."

Absolutely - if you read what I was writing when you commented, I feel very much that there's a revenge element here - and that's without even reading anything else.

Absolutely agree. As I said, I've been a victim of partner abuse myself (and isolated to the point that my own mother wanted me to ignore the abuse because she didn't believe it was abuse - she thought I was being dramatic), so I know the feelings she speaks about as well as a few she didn't...

I have many mixed opinions about this. EDIT: I'm not excusing the way he treated her. I've been a victim of partner abuse myself.

The petition has broken through the 300,000 mark.

And I really wish Disney would step back and reassess. This is just ridiculous.

So I had to Google that (yeah, I don't get out as much as I used to) and saw what it is, but apparently "starfish" is also a tool for students. :oops: They need to change that name.

I wonder if those tweets had come out in a month if it would have been a non-issue and Disney would have ignored them.

And this feeds into why I hate political parties. It's just another means to separate us into groups and feed into the widespread fear of "other". How many people have performed horrible acts in the name of their political party? TOO MANY. Objectivity, I feel, is dying. Too many people are...

I stopped watching the news on TV and in video form years ago. I find it easier to see biased statements in print. And yes - we're so divided, and the news outlets are owned by so few companies now that we're seeing the extreme from everyone. I really wish FB had a division specifically for...

I wonder what the chances are that it will go that far...people aren't exactly prone to giving up the status quo even when its proven to be disasterous.

They were. Which is why I was angry that they fired her, too. I had so many thoughts while I was writing that post...they got muddied. I was just as angry at the hypocrisy in firing her because they DID know. EVERYONE knew what they were getting...I was actually surprised there was so much...

Generally, where there's smoke there's fire, but again, Cernovich is making sure the rumor of a huge, pervasive pedophile ring stays in the collective consciousness and he's literally a snake in the grass waiting for someone to give him reason to bite. As I quoted earlier, he enjoys doing that...

Don't forget payoffs too. As much as we'd all like to hope that anyone under the employ of our judicial system is beyond reproach, it just isn't the case. I've also wondered if there should be limits to the number of years a judge can sit on the bench, and - as terrible as it sounds - age limits...
