Awkward story of the day...

Maybe something will now be done about the nonsensical rules about sexual assault on American campuses. Buzzfeed is reporting that a girl has been kicked out of college after having drunk sex with a guy who later regretted it.

More on the UVA rape case : Jackie's lawyers, in new court documents filed Tuesday, acknowledged that they had accessed an email account connected to the fake rapist in mid-March. The email account for "Haven Monahan," the name Jackie gave as her alleged rapist, had been created days after the alle...

I'd imagine it was SOP to shoot immediately. From a liability standpoint, that was the only prudent recourse for the zoo.

I’ve spent a lifetime with gorillas. Shooting them should be a last resort That's all good and well, but if I were a zoo director in the US of A, my first thought would be 'litigation'.

I do believe that some people deserve to be killed. I just don't think the justice system should be in the business of doing it. Everyone believes that some people deserve to be killed, but different people have different ideas about who deserves to be killed and who doesn't. For example many Musli...

James A. Lindsay and Peter Boghossian just published Privilege: the Left's original Sin .

Although Kir...

Seconded. I've never found the moral arguments against the death penalty persuasive. In war we murder people for far shakier reasons (and in far greater numbers) all the time, but nobody seems to make a fuss over it (this is one of the few points on which I radically diverge from Hitchens). The eco...

I am against the death penalty with some exceptions. Terrorists and spree killers I'm kinda fine with. I don't think the human race is losing anything there in terms of morals or humans who contribute to society. Just get rid of them. Most spree shooters end up killing themselves. I think in most c...

A story in the New York Post makes an interesting comparison between those who claim victimhood and e-beg on the basis of it, and Oral Roberts, the 80s televangelist. It's a connection I hadn't made.

I agree, and it sickens me how close this is to the virtue dynamics in a number of Christian denominiations: particularly those that emphasize faith over works. You can substitute applying "feminist" or "SJW" as a label for being "saved" or "forgiven". Instead of prayer and church services you have...
