why would a person need to establish a different 'degree' of rape? A person who rapes a 14 year old girl is just as evil as one who rapes a 5 year old girl and their punishments should be equal. To suggest otherwise introduces an element of "Well you can see why they'd do it... they look almost grown... cut them some slack". That's what it is.

This was released earlier this year but not available to stream until now. Given the recent R&R HOF induction it seems relevant. I heard it's going to only be on YouTube for a week. I saw clips over the months but yesterday I got to watch the whole thing. Check it out.

and before you end it early as she sort of trails away and starts to say "but it's bad, blah blah blah" she closes it with somethin really horrific. So, no this wasn't an original misquote or mistakenly saying the wrong thing. She summed up her point quite well with the final statement in this clip. And it's really bad.

they don't get paid to bunt. they get paid to drive in runs

Imagine voting for this guy. How can one look themselves in the mirror defending a pedo?

She cashed out and pulled the ladder up behind her. the best part about the C word is it has meaning. She’s one.

Republicans - 15 is 'barely legal'.. which to our uneducated friends means that Ms. Kelly is saying that it's ok, despite her claims that it's disgusting.

To many of them statutory rape is just a legal construct... not a moral one. That includes the Christian fundamentalists.

Surprised we didn't see a "He won the Cy Young Award for the second consecutive year in a row" tweet. The editor in me gets flabbergasted sometimes for what I see from "reporter"

and ozzie didn't necessarily "take him out" drinking. Miggy met up with them at the team hotel which was probably walking distance from his house in Birmingham.

yeah I thought it was fake to be honest. I don't know what that means.

Massie's point about how will you answer the question in 2028 is a good one. I'm still suspicious that it will mean much though. So far nobody has been able to slice through Trump's hold on the GOP. Vance is a snake and I don't doubt he'd seize an opening if he saw one. I'm not being contrarian... just been burned too many times. Maybe a Dem house can impeach him again and Vance makes his move with GOP Senators to convict.

I do remember. And a friend of mine got hit on by a player in the early 2010's in Royal Oak, she showed me the video of him standing outside her car. We all know who he is. But that was back then. Today I think it's different. That's not to say they never go out but I think the local bar scene has zero effect into their decision on where to sign a contract.

“The jerk store called….”

I don’t thjnky baseball players “go out to the club” after games. Maybe in other sports where they don’t play every day they would be more likely. Of course I had a friend who would shuffle baseballl players from the Ritz Carlton to strip clubs back in the 90s but I have a feeling that doesn’t happen as much today. Too many people with cameras and the guys are healthier today. Baseball is a grind.

The fruitless point of all of this is to a not insignificant number of GOP voters, this kind of stuff is a feature not a bug.

Unless they already play in Florida or AZ or even CA, I suspect most players 'commute' so the city itself is kind of irrelevant. Especially those that command the types of salaries a FA would get. I don't think a city, during the season, matters to them. They are always working anyway.

What I like about this thread is, despite what we may bitch about day to day during the season... it was much much worse. We evolved to first world problems.

We started it earlier this year, about halfway through season 2. After 45 minutes I was ready to give up but then the closing of the first episode got me hooked. This is definitely a show you go back and watch again to pick up on things you missed. I'd have dreams about it.

I thought of you on Friday and Monday when I drove by the windmills near Findlay and the Whirlpool factory. That came up in a convo a while back somewhere around here

I saw that one today too

What does the law say they do? Should the FDA ignore things if the person inspecting that day is in a good mood?

Barack Obama’s middle name was Hussein. That’s all they needed to make conclusions about his mid east policy.

All you need to know about Mcafee is he helped spread anonymous internet rumors about an ole miss student for which he later reached a settlement.
