  1. This gives unhappy marriage worse than I suspected.

  2.  @Eerielai  Yeah. Any sort of "equality" where erotic love is concerned is senseless and bizarre. When it comes to the very basics of sustaining life and ensuring equal opportunity to develop one's talents, for oneself and for the good of all, that is quite a different matter.

  3.  @michaeltadrous9234  He was caught in a flagrant and self-serving, but very human, contradiction. Just like any ordinary guy might be. Rogan spotted it right away, and didn't lord over him for it. It was't bad, it was funny.

  4. Yeah, that is how much he was disliked. Speaks volumes.

  5.  @brwi1  Because lovemaking is neither fungible, nor absolutely necessary for life. But Marxism frees you so that you can actually pursue a pure relationship, instead of, say, marrying for money. And frees you from not having enough time to have a real relationship at all.

  6.  @darrengillesdarrengilles8336  That's not what happened in this segment. Peterson was caught in a flagrant contradiction. I will say, society is in a sorry state when thousands of people need someone like Peterson to help them. I will also say that at least he is not some meritless charlatan, like so many others clearly are. The basic "prosperity gospel" huckster comes to mind as an example of the latter. Peterson is without a doubt a cut above that.

  7.  @brwi1  I mean, you won't die without it. That's all I meant. But okay.

  8.  @brwi1  I guess you already forgot the post before the post you're responding to. Hope it's the eggnog.

  9.  @brwi1  Who suggested it did? No hint in my posts.

  10.  @brwi1  Asked and answered.

  11.  @brennam954  It's not "textbook sexual harassment." I suggest you look up Title VII. A crass, inappropriate joke from an employee to someone above them, for which they apologized and promised never to repeat, all in writing, is NOT "sexual harassment" under the law. Stop scaring people with nonsense. Stop pushing the false narrative that we have crazy sex discrimination laws. We don't.

  12.  @brennam954  You didn't look up Title VII. Your choice.

  13.  @brennam954  Not surprised you didn't. "Soft skills?"

  14.  @brennam954  Miss F-bomb will now give us morality lessons and legal lessons. Manners, too, apparently.

  15.  @PersonalPariah  You were there, seven years ago when it actually happened? Do you put your apologies in writing, so that they can be used against you years later?

  16.  @PersonalPariah  Y'mean trying to defend himself against people who want to deprive him of his current livelihood, while he can't book live performances? That is usually not pretty.
    1
  17.  @PersonalPariah  And?
    1
  18.  @PersonalPariah  Okay. Let's suppose he's wrong. We can: 1. Tell people not to watch his show; or 2. Remove his show from YouTube. What did this crowd suggest? Banning his show, based on the fact that, he claims, people laughed at the joke at the time, which he also admits made it worse for Ana. So, what is it you want? You don't want to talk about Syria and Ana's smear of Aaron Mate, that I can see. Mate just reported from there. Can you find it on a map?

  19. There are psychopaths everywhere. Ted Bundy got into law school on a Republican politician's recommendation. No reason to know at the time.

  20. @prague7706  Yup, false flag level bad. Who in their right mind could be impressed? (And how did they find a French woman who doesn't tend her hair for the camera? Unless it's stunningly Bardot messy?)

  21. Dr. West was just on. Did your uncle like him? I love Dr. West.

  22. Ana could have had him reprimanded or fired at the time. Instead, she only brings it up after she and Cenk smeared Aaron Mate, and Dore defended him. And takes a swipe at Jimmy's wife. You missed that part?
    1
  23.  @janeryan2709  I certainly do. Do you?
    1
  24.  @janeryan2709  By the way, that tasteless joke, standing alone, and asking where someone got their jeans so that he could buy a pair as a gift for his wife, do not meet the legal definition of sexual harassment. But Ana could have fired him or reprimanded him. Employers can do that. They don't have to wait for matters to escalate, or for actionable harassment under the law to occur. SHE had the upper hand.

  25. Cross your fingers and fold your arms. Be nice.
    1
  26.  @janeryan2709  The joke Ana cited, and the question about where she gets her jeans, do not rise to the level of workplace sexual harassment. Not legally. But Ana could have had him fired anyway, or stopped praising him after he left to do his own show. She was his boss. She had the upper hand. So, what happened?

  27. ​ @MZBS639 Did they attack the athlete or the Olympic Committee that authorized the match? Attacks on the Olympic Committee should be free speech everywhere. We hear an interview from her, but not the actual words used against her or against allowing her to box by Rowling or Musk. So we don't know from this video what was said by these defendants. Doesn't that bother you? With this mentality, our First Amendment won't survive. It's already being attacked by partisans of Netanyahu, and university presidents are having to resign over it. It didn't take long for the actual left to be denied freedom of speech.

  28.  @peterschaeffer  So, this is on the IOC. The athlete didn't choose to have this disorder.
    1
  29. @peterschaeffer  Well, I disagree. And in any event, a person with a medical condition should not be coddled, or given special privileges over others, agreed -- but nor should they suffer any abuse, ever. If you cannot be kind, then leave them alone. She applied like everyone else. She did not rule on her own application. There is nothing more to add to that.
    1
  30. @peterschaeffer  Would you stop? And how could that possibly justify harassing Khelif? On the contrary, any medical condition is a reason to take care not to say anything unkind, especially to a young athlete, but really not to anyone. The IOC should not allow biological males to compete with females. The general rule. Applying it is THEIR job. There ya go.
    1
  31. @peterschaeffer  I've made it clear that I disagree. Eligibility is determined not by the athlete but strictly by the IOC and its divisions. When do highly paid authorities have to work? By the way? Blocked.

  33.  @pragersmasher5788  When did I attack him personally, as distinct from his ideas? Or the ideas he claims to have. I'd love to see Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, etc., etc., etc., in positions to influence US policy, especially foreign policy in this hemisphere. Jimmy is the working class person in this picture, as is his wife. And you know exactly zero about me.

  34.  @pragersmasher5788  Isn't Biden president now? When do we get to start asking him for things? When do we "push left?" Still not a good time? And Nancy? We better be nice to Nancy? I don't get the rest of your innuendo, insider slang, etc. Tedious.

  35.  @pragersmasher5788  I think this pandemic could be worse than we think, and I think that events on that scale are life changing for hundreds of millions. You're the sheltered one if you don't perceive that possibility. But I have no interest in substantive discussions with people who malign others, rather than oppose their positions and arguments. The only thing I'm wondering about was why your previous post suggested someone here is anti-Semitic. What made you think of that? Why would your mind go there? Couldn't have anything to do with me. One of my distant ancestors perished in the Holocaust (though I'm not Jewish -- but she was identified as such). My mother did consider converting, briefly, because of her war experience. So . . . it couldn't have anything to do with me. Or could it? Or is it simply that it worked against Corbyn? KISS principle? LOL Keep telling us who you are. Please.

  36.  @pragersmasher5788  Taking a larger view, I guess that's not so bad. Either we end the age discrimination in Medicare, like every civilized society, or US global prestige and hegemony take another hit. What's not to like? /s

  37.  @pragersmasher5788  That wasn't "the first thing I said," and screaming it doesn't truthify it. Who was I responding to? (Was that post removed?) Why do you think I said that? I explained precisely why. And how does Jewish figure in? I still don't see why it crossed your mind. What would it matter? EDIT: Richard Garcia. Still there. And you responded to it, too, as if it were normal to make a personal, and racial, attack. You're as truth-free as Trump. I guess he set the standard for you.

  38.  @pragersmasher5788  I'm not a product of any private schools, here or abroad, and most people didn't consider my father white. Keep telling the world who you are. I just noticed "fabricated anecdote!" Wow. T'es une ordure, une vraie. On rigole. Personne ne l'aurait cru, si tu ne l'avais pas ecrit. Aux EEUU, l'impossible est vrai. No one else on the planet acts like you do, that I can tell you. It's not an acquired taste, shall we say. Also, any idiot could see you act as a provocateur to get competent commentators to overreact and be banned.

  40.  @pragersmasher5788  I made no such accusation. You're just a liar. But it is STILL unclear why you brought up someone's Jewishness. It wasn't part of the discussion. So there is some reason you brought it up. I still don't know what that might be. Total non sequitur. But close to the surface of your thoughts. And I am not going to repeat what the post I responded to said, to point out that BJG does not have the "issues" that post maligned her with, because that post was racist. I don't amplify such discourse.

  41.  @pragersmasher5788  You don't think women lawyers from Harvard are generally smart, and don't need a man to make money for them, because they can do just fine? Really?

  43.  @pragersmasher5788  Great-grandmother. Distant. Oh, now I get it. No, my mother was profoundly gifted, as was her father. I wasn't claiming that. Didn't reach me. You need to temper your envy, bro.

  45.  Richard Garcia  You know what? At least I can appreciate that you are sincere. You had an actual event in life, something real, and maybe more than one, that made you feel as you do. I can respect that. But don't imagine that it's everyone and everywhere, or that certain "signs" are universal indicators of that kind of mind in a woman. It just isn't true.Thanks for participating again. Most people don't have a good love life these days. I do not know what happened. I know social media and the electronic landscape in general are not helping. I'm reading a book on PTSD by Francine Shapiro and I expected it to deal with combat veterans, or major accidents and health challenges, or serious crimes -- that sort of thing. Well, so far it talks about romance a lot, and how trauma can derail it. More interesting, actually. Also, and she's no wimp, she says that many so-called "ordinary" traumatic events in life can give rise to PTSD, and that such issues are simple and can be treated in a couple of sessions. She herself had cancer a long time ago, while in graduate school, apparently cured. I don't know if anything else traumatic happened to her. They told her at the time that her prognosis was "we don't know" and "good luck." (!!) I have to laugh, gallows humor. EDIT: Just found out she died last year at 71, and that during her childhood her sister died.

  50.  @halleffect5439  Based on worrying about whether he would say something inappropriate to her, of a sexual nature? That would worry you? Not me. Frankly, I don't think most men unrelated by blood or marriage are a wise first choice for babysitter, but that's a separate issue, no? I mean, why not ask if I would date Jimmy Dore if he were single? I don't know.
