So she identifies as black? What's wrong with that? If she would have identified as a man, or a chipmunk or toaster everyone would think she's brave, but she identifies as black and she's wrong?

She's doing her part to dismantle white privilege.

yeah I'm not really weighing in here on whether or not the law is good or bad. it's more about whether it's being equally applied.

you claimed homosexuals were getting some additional latitude legally; that's just false. this bill is to give judges the ability to make the same considerations for "gay" sex as for straight. @bobeph is probably on board.

in terms of the law, I don't actually think it's even that bad. you're letting a judge decide. if some 19 year old dude bangs his 17 year old girlfriend (or boyfriend), it's technically illegal but should the guy really have to register as a sex offender? I don't think so. 

if a judge looks at a 15-year-old girl who was banged anally by a 25-year-old man, the judge still has the latitude to classify the guy as a sex offender.

I think giving judges the ability to decide on the merits of the individual cases makes some sense here. the 10 year number seems a bit arbitrary and maybe higher than I'd want it - I think 5 years would be better - but this isn't exactly as you presented it.

Really glad you changed this number from your original post.  

 

Sorta sad about this.  Great movie will now be owned by one political party.

  this is the best the dems can do to save the world from trump huh?  No word comes to mind to describe how incompetent they are.  And to be honest i think this borders elderly abuse trying to push biden through a presidential election campaign 
 

And while we all know that they will rig the debates to get joe through in one piece (just like they did with hillary) trump is still going to destroy him.  Biden will strike out even with the slow pitch softballs they pitch him.  
 

And as funny as bidens goofs are, at some point someone who cares for him needs to step in and stop this because he obviously has no clue how Lost he is.  
 

god help us all

Can't help but think of this scene:

EA added Kaepernick to Madden '21 and apparently has him as the 15th ranked QB.

Stunning and brave.

The Oscars make inclusion a requirement for best picture consideration beginning in 2024

(CNN)Five years after the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag triggered controversy, the group behind the awards has made inclusion a requirement to be considered to win them.

In what represents the most direct link between the movie industry's top prize and efforts to promote diversity and address systemic issues, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday that movies must meet certain criteria in terms of representation in order to be eligible for the Academy Award for best picture beginning in 2024.
Introduced under an initiative called Aperture 2025, the organization said the goal was to "encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience."
Films must meet at least two of four benchmarks. They include featuring actors from underrepresented groups in significant roles or accounting for at least 30% of the cast; similar criteria in terms of those working on the film behind the scenes; a significant commitment to paid apprenticeships, internships and career development; and significant representation among the teams devoted to marketing, publicity and distribution.
During the Oscar campaigns in 2022 and 2023, movies will have to submit a confidential "inclusion standards" form, but that won't prevent eligibility until the 96th Academy Awards. Next year's awards, encompassing movies released in 2020, have already been delayed by two months due to the disruptions to film distribution caused by the coronavirus.
The change was made in consultation with the Producers Guild of America, and adapted from standards developed by the British Film Institute that must be met to earn funding for certain projects in the U.K.
The latest announcement follows a concerted push by the Academy to expand its membership ranks, admitting more women and people of color. In June, an additional 819 new members were invited into the group, 45% of them women and 36% people of color. Representation among the latter has more than doubled since the membership initiative began in 2016.
The Oscars made history earlier this year when "Parasite" was anointed best picture, becoming the first non-English-language film and first South Korean film to receive that prize.

 

I guess if you want to make a movie focused on an Irish family you'll have to shoe horn Shaq in if you want an Oscar.

I think it's fair to say racism is now over.

Man, liberals are completely psychotic. Just over the top mental illness:

Rufo's been great at uncovering this tax-payer funded insanity. It's almost too stupid to believe.
