"Testimony from a witness is always subjective..." I guess what i am trying to say is that they are drawing conclusions of what they saw, not just stating the facts of what they saw. "...this isn't a criminal trial&qu

Both of the witnesses' testimonies seem to be subjective: "It was getting creepy, but Justine didn't move, or slap him. She was laughing..."[1]; "The executive's posture and actions aggressive; "no" w

It is very irritating that this article doesn't tell us the actual country this guy is from. "west Africa" is as far as they go.

Thanks. I use f.lux already and it's great (it makes my eyes feel a lot better) but hasn't really helped me fall asleep. I think I am going to try a no back-lit screens after 23:00 rule.

I have terrible sleep habits and often find it difficult to fall asleep before 5am. I have been considering trying melatonin but my major concern is that I will become dependent on it. I don't want my body to stop producing whatever sm

The bet is fine but writing a blog post about it on your company blog is in bad taste in my opinion.

"'you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into'?" Don't forget that this applies to you as much as anyone else. None of the rebuttals presented by the author of the &quot

I'll buy brainwashing in subjective areas like history, current events, economics, and literary analysis but not in science. Wow. I think the most important thing to teach children is to be open to ideas. The universe may be billions

This is disgusting. Which is the best country in the world to raise children? It needs to be safe, have little government interference, have exposure to "the real world", a culture of hard work, an open culture that is receptive t

I'd rather have a little state overreach than fundamentalists whose beliefs have solidified before they were ever even exposed to ideas that didn't fit their parents' version of reality. And I wouldn't.

With stories like this, I have found it to be the opposite. People that would usually question this, won't because they are terrified of being called sexist which is (exactly what you have done and) one of those things that hangs aroun

Regardless of where the responsibility lies, it is unacceptable. I agree that the actual police officer does not control policies but they do control their own actions and it is part of the job description to put their lives on the line for

If a policeman has access to body armor and machine guns to serve a warrant on some guy in a house, he will take them along. The cop has no idea who may be behind a door when they knock -- they may be intoxicated/high, have a vicious

This whole "all men are rapists" or "all men are potential rapists" message that is constantly being shoved down our throats must surely be hugely damaging to our society. This accusing video[1] stands out amongst my ear

One point I do still maintain is that there simply is a clear imbalance between sexual assault on females and males. Yes, that does not change the gravity of either, but it does suggest how the conversation about it ought to run. If it wer

I wonder if rape jokes targeting males will also be removed as I have found these much more common than rape jokes targeting females, particularly regarding the rape of suspected male criminals. An example: http://i.imgur.com/X8cjv2v.png
