Stop them? No. But sometimes it keeps things from getting worse.

LOL I love Agents of SHIELD, but I meant the part where Phil is a fellow subject of "Operation: Rebirth" because even then he was the biggest fanboy to ever fan.

Or, because rape is about power, not sex, now they have another way to exert control over their victim. "Don't want me to touch her? Then this time you do exactly what I say and we keep this between us."
NOW IT'S EVEN *EASIER* FOR THEM TO KEEP RAPING! WELL FUDGING DONE! Who wants a sticker?

No. No, no, no, no, no. And just to make sure we're clear on this? NO.
I'm all for giving people second chances, except for the part where it's detrimental to the recovery of the survivor. How much progress is she going to be making with that weekly reminder of what happened? The answer is "little to none". This can extend her recovery by *years*, and it's not exactly a short process anyway. Can we say "PTSD"?
Or if he sues for and *gets* full custody? Now she has to live with the idea that she can't even protect her kid and she may have to ask *her rapist* for permission just to see her own son or daughter.
No, you know what? If you can't respect someone's right to say no because you're tired of going it alone with porn or because "she was asking for it, dressed like that" then too bad, so sad, try again with someone else—and this time do it *all* right.

Okay true, but not in nearly the numbers they used to. In addition, there are many other diseases that have also been severely curtailed because of vaccines—which were borne of this idea, if not from this man specifically. Smallpox *has* been eradicated, to the point where almost no one even gets the vaccine anymore. Either way, the guest has certainly benefited from Dr. Salk's discovery, via herd immunity if nothing else.

Not what I said or meant. The insecurity and incorrect understanding of homosexuality are the personal problems.

Our library does that at Valentine's Day. They call it "Blind Date with a Book" and they wrap the books in butcher paper so you can't see the title or open the book. On the front is written the genre, like "Mystery" or "Romance".

It was then that I knew what I had to do: I had to stop all the ghosts that were coming through!

They said *this* cat was pretty and nobody mentioned wanting to fuck it. I think we're all doing just fine here.

It could technically be either. Depends on whether the wife and the girlfriend are also together or it's just the guy who is with each of them.

It's not perfect, but considering how many morons use "password" or "football" or "ILoveYou" it's decent.
