There seems to be a misunderstanding here. Yes, Quentin Tarantino is a scumbag for pressuring his actress to do a scene she wasnt comfortable with. No, we are not entirely sympathetic to said actress because the decision was ultimately hers to make.

If you have ever worked, you know there are always going to be risks at a job site. Some risks carry more severe consequences than others. Its up to you, as an employee, to decide if that risk is worth whatever you are being paid or whatever the other benefits are of going through with your choice. This is the basics of risk-rewards analysis, and it is not limited to physical risks and financial rewards.

Funny how CE didn't call him out for anything.
No "Why not come forward sooner."
No "You didn't complain when you got the part!"

Wonder why that is...

because he's pressing charges

I dont really give a shit because it happened to a man, and ultimately there was no sex involved. Yeah, im aware of my double standard. Oh, well. Terry Crews is also a huge dude who could have turned his assailant into a pretzel. But he didnt. So I dont care as much.

Why is Weinstein in "therapy" anyway? Considering the sheer number of accusations you would think he would have been arrested already and a court case would be underway.

I believe its just damage control. People get to think that Weinstein is receiving some kind of rehabilitation, which implies he is being held accountable and will eventually not be a danger.

Btw, I heard Bill Cosby has been doing stand-up comedy again. Maybe Weinstein should try that instead.

That does kinda bug me, but then it also bugged me when Back to the Future said a white kid was responsible for Chuck Berry's success.

That only worked because (one) it was played for laughs as a joke and (two) Marty didnt invent that particular rock and roll sound; he learned it in his own timeline then used it where (and when) other people wouldnt know the difference. Marty did the same thing earlier when he disguised himself and said he was Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan.

Yea I'm sure Isaac Newton wasn't the only ever living person fascinated on the issue or gravity.

What is calculus? The laws of motion? Light as a mix of colors that can be separated? Advancing telescopes through the use of mirrors?

Those are like half of the genius-level innovations or discoveries that Newton is credited for. Just one would have been enough to secure his place in history.

Isolationists should either deal with their own problems or just accept their fates if she is truly going to get bad instead of being hypocritical assholes about it.

Yeah, that's one way. Isolationists don't have to engage in zero interaction with the world, though. Black Panther is an isolationist, but he works with the Avengers from time to time, for example. They could also help other countries with their tech, if they wanted.

Yes, Wakanda is ultra-nationalistic and isolationist. They literally hide their location from the rest of the world, to the point that most people think it's a myth. And of course they've got all that sweet vibranium and high-tech advancements, but don't want to share it with other countries. That's privilege on a massive scale. But that is Ok. Wakanda is a sovereign nation and Black Panther is a sovereign ruler. If Wakanda was a real place and its citizens wanted to be left alone, then I would support that.

Yeah it's quite the thing that I see about 10x more people complaining about pushy vegans than I see pushy vegans

You make a good point. But to be fair, it might be mostly true because of the population imbalance. There are very few vegans in the world. Vegetariantimes.com claims there is less than one percent of US adults, for example, who are vegan. If vegans were half or more of our family, friends and neighbors... I seriously doubt they'd be quiet about their disdain for meat eaters.

We must remember that while such a perversion of human innovation could prevent social deviancy, it could also encourage it when such units of society decide that a mere toy is no longer enough.

Banning such an item might be Ok if you can prove that this negitive outcome actually exists. Right now, I think most people are just offering their emotional reactions (e.g. disgust) as proof. But we need more than that, if you want the government to start telling businesses what they can or can't sell to willing customers.

I wish there was more discussion on modern-day African nations. Most students (and adults, including myself) don't seem to know much about Africa, even though it's such a huge continent with various cultures.

Regarding Black History Month, it can be very good for students. I've seen speakers teach about the meaning of old negro spirituals and the kids even learned to sing them! Of course there are a lot of other things to learn about, so it doesn't have to be just a specific month.

What do you find disgusting about them?

That fact that they're sex toys based on prepubescent girls.

Right, and I think thats a perfectly normal response. I feel (or did feel) the same, but the more I contemplate it, the more I keep coming back to one unarguable fact: a doll that looks like a child, a man, a woman, an animal or anything else is still an artificial object that is not actually the thing that it looks like. I mean we (gamers at least) get angry at critics of video games who cant seem to tell the difference between a game character and a real life child or a real life adult, yet here we are with dolls, just assuming that an inanimate object should be viewed with disgust or outrage. It seems we might not be able to distinguish what is fantasy from reality, as well.

Read my post again. Never even came close to saying conservatives think that the US is perfect. I said if you don't pretend it is perfect then you're considered anti American.

Read my post again but really pay attention to the words I used and the comparisons I brought up. It gets old seeing people say "so what you're saying is..." And then go on to say something that isn't even close to what I actually said.

Youre full of shit. You took a swipe at conservatives for whatever reason and then added in that liberals love America, while claiming that people need to pretend the nation and its history is perfect. No one fucking believes that. You used the words perfect and never did anything wrong. There are all kinds of historical events, both big and small, that both conservatives and liberals acknowledge as being damaging, bloody and unfortunate. Conservatives dont pretend or expect you to pretend that slavery never happened, for example. They dont pretend native tribes werent massacred or relocated. They dont pretend that civilians havent been killed in Afghanistan and other locations. What you will definitely see is conservatives (and liberals) arguing about what to do about it now, as in after the fact. What you will also see is voters arguing whether or not there was a better, more right way that things should have been handled. If youre afraid of having your views being misrepresented, then do us a favor and dont misrepresent other peoples views as well.

Some people don't understand the difference between constructive criticism and hatred. See conservatives think that if you don't pretend America is perfect and never did anything wrong in history, then you're anti American.

Wait, you think conservatives believe the US is perfect and that they never did anything wrong? Thats dishonest. For sure, conservatives in general are nationalistic and like to think of their values as being ideal. But perfect? I think you might be thinking of some fringe element. And theres no way of avoiding Americas imperfect, brutal history because it constantly shows up in school lessons, documentaries, political speeches, etc. One could argue that maybe there should be even more emphasis placed on acknowledging these missteps, but to say conservatives think America is perfect and never did anything wrong in history is ridiculous.

Aww, man. Too soon. Phil Hartman did not deserve to go out the way he did.

Anyway, I dont understand the conflict going on here. A bunch of people, such as Asherlee10, claim that there will basically be no problems for women since sexdolls (the logical endgame being sexbots) will remove undesirable men from the dating pool. Ok, i can see that point. So what the fuck is the problem? Why is there a pushback and shaming, regarding these dolls? If its really a win-win, then why isnt everyone (i.e. men and women, gay or straight) pushing for more and more of these products to be sold and accepted by the mainstream?

maybe they'll stop be political when this country is a position where they no longer have to be political.

You might want to rethink that analogy.

A lot, if not all, private businesses will fire your ass pretty quick or reprimand you if you are their employee and you decide to argue politics, take a controversial political stance or similar while you are working at their job site. Hell, a lot of CEmen take it a step further and advocate punishing employees even if they did it on their personal time away from work, such as at home or just posting on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Putting aside the business angle, try pushing a vocal political agenda at work while you are a government employee outside of actual political office. It's not going to go well.

You guys are seriously looking at this the wrong way. A lot of those genders sound fucking cool, and I absolutely want to be one or two of them. Hell, maybe I already am and just don't know it. For example:

Vapogender: a gender that sort of feels like smoke; can be seen on a shallow level but once you go deeper, it disappears and you are left with no gender and only tiny wisps of what you thought it was
(That's some Ninja shit right there. Am I really the only one who learned how to throw shuriken stars and fight with nunchucks back in high school?)

Espigender: a gender that is related to being a spirit or exists on a higher or extradimensional plane
