I think I explained exactly why I don't think either people using Ashley Madison to cheat, or the hackers who doxed them are on good ethical footing, and I did this without citing any Bible verses. That makes any talk about "sin" a red herring. No one here is talking about morality in religious ter...

When it comes to people's relationships I take a none of my business stance. Relationships are tough. People are complicated. I am willing to judge people on a lot of things. I think everyone does.

they shouldn't have signed up , even if he finds that sentiment naive as a justification for the release.

There's only one thing wrong with your analysis:

I would say honestly that transmen are probably easier targets than transwomen.

Rebecca Watson shows off her ability to reason and intelligently apply statistics to a real-world problem: A federal appeals court has just ruled that the use of a drug-sniffing dog was legal, despite the findings that the dog in question, Lex, signalled that he had found drugs 93% of the time he w...

At first glance, this might appear to suggest that anal is more conducive to orgasm. However, I expect it's more likely that those women open to anal are more likely to achieve orgasm in any given sexual encounter (whether anal is used or not).

Elyse,
The cops were klansmen when you sicced them on men, after regretting drunk sex.
And the cops are still klansmen when they came for you.
