https://www.chronicle.com/article/3-Revelations-From-the/244887 Judging from this article, the most serious thing I see here is the groping. The other stuff (others witnessing him and a colleague apparently kissing consensually and "sexual comments") doesn't seem all that serious to me. T...

They [Islamists] have been decapitating non-believers [especially Jews] since 1400 years ago as directed from the core texts of Islam i.e. the Quran. America got its independent in 1776, i.e. relative only 343 years ago. Since Muhammad is the Muslims' exemplar, the Islamists would look forward to t...

This is the consequence of Fuckin' PC - this barbaric murder by Islamist terrorists; I am very certain the above terrible evil and violent acts carried out by Islamist terrorists will continue in the future and one of the main reason they will continue is that frigging Fuckin' PC in relation to Mus...

This is the consequence of Fuckin' PC - this barbaric murder by Islamist terrorists; Backpackers beheaded: Chilling new details of their horrific murders. It was the barbaric nature of their deaths that shocked the world. On Dec. 17, the mutilated bodies of two Scandinavian backpackers were found h...

Now I see careers ruined over sexual improprieties which some go into an absolute FRENZY over. Yes, there is some overreaction but there is in response there are some who irrationality assume that all allegations must be false, that it is nothing more than mass hysteria. It think it is reasonable t...

not sure how Israel showed up in an PC thread (I hate PC - but do also today's Israel - so had to post seeing you mentioned the latter) Israel is a tiny country, all alone and surrounded by trouble. Israel has right to exist (or at this point had?) - no seriously, if you are an honest Humanist and ...

What is your reaction to this video of Ariana Grande having a priest put an arm around her? Do you think this is sexual misconduct? It looked innocent enough until the end where it got into questionable territory. It may have just been the way she is built and it may have looked different from a di...

Indeed. If someone tries to grope me and I don't want them to, I tell them. I'm all growed up This may be the closest you get to sex with another person but how you might act is irrelevant to the question of whether this type of behavior should be condoned. If you are all growed up as you imagine y...

If you want to talk 'legal' then yes, he was 'allowed'. I think what we are talking about here is hypocrisy. Hypocrisy on the part of Asia Argento. You are abusing the term 'teacher student' which implies a teacher and a vulnerable child, or very young adult. Universities are not the same environme...

Actually if I ask what is a an obese person? 1. A person that is obese. 2. Person is x 3. Obese is y. 4. X is x1 with x1 existing through a further progression of definition. 5. Y is y1 with y1 existing through a further progression of definition. 6. A person as x = x1 that is obese as y = y1. 7. S...

Actually it isn't we are not all stuck in your head. So it's not a supernatural being you were asking about then? If someone asked 'what is an obese person?' The only answer you can really give is 'a person who is obese' (or any appropriate synonyms). Actually if I ask what is a an obese person? 1....

Is 'inappropriate' a legal term? If so, then what does it mean in a legal sense? My opinion is that it's far worse for a teacher to have sex with a pupil ('consensual' or not) or some other authority figure (eg. a psychiatrist and their patient), with a vulnerable person (the young often get crushe...

Apparently he claims to be disgusted and feels he was abused. It's not really about what you consider to be inappropriate is it? I believe sex with a 17 year old used to be called 'statutory rape' in the United States (where you are from?). Perhaps it still is. I'm surprised at such double standard...

And what is a supernatural being? the name is self explanatory-- FNS Actually it isn't we are not all stuck in your head. So it's not a supernatural being you were asking about then? If someone asked 'what is an obese person?' The only answer you can really give is 'a person who is obese' (or any a...

Who is "she"? He has apparently been doing this for a long time to a lot of women. Attractiveness should not be a liability. Have you heard of Asia Argento? She is a leader in the #MeToo movement and has been accused of having inappropriate sexual relations with a 17 year old when she was...
