  1. How about this, Brie? If we continue to support this cancelation move, innocent people will not be able to afford a decent lawyer. They had no reason to think they should have to plan for it in advance.

  2. ​ @lawfirmandshoerepair Sure, if he is first given a chance to face his accusers and defend himself.

  5. The reason private corporations removed alleged harassers from their jobs was because after an internal INVESTIGATION, they determined that the corporation could be held legally liable for not removing a perpetrator once they knew other employees were in fact harassed by that person in the workplace. In other words, the victim would be the one who would ultimately be unable to earn a living in that job unless the corporation took action, and failure to act would not be fair or legal under Title VII. Russell's case has nothing to do with any of that. Not one point applies: no investigation, none of these accusers have to work with Russell Brand, none of these accusers are even known, and Russell Brand does not work for YouTube. Where are people's heads??

  6. Lots of states have 16 as the age of consent, though the partner cannot be more than 5 years older in quite a few of them. But 16 without restrictions is common around the world. I am of two minds: it is too young BUT I don't want more criminalization of private conduct. That is even worse. I've had it.

  7.  @strongbad666  I agree. Morals are a personal matter, the law binds everyone -- and can land a person in jail and ruin their life for something that not everyone even agrees is morally wrong, much less wants to see criminalized.

  8. @renoirrandy7241  Dislike her? I'm one of her biggest fans. I never said she advocated for cancelation. She obviously does not, but the point she's making, while true as far as it goes, misses a more important aspect of the bigger picture. Maybe what is legal to do is not ethical, and should be discouraged rather than applauded. Is there something about this medium that makes people line up pro and con, rather than exchange ideas? 🤔

  9. @bebel1934  Boy did you get this wrong. Brie is probably my favorite independent journalist.

  10. @bebel1934  You two spun out a fantasy from one faulty premise. Do you always do this, or just on comment boards?

  11. I don't understand what either of you mean.
