The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice. Mr. King. FCC.
Bert is a very smart guy and he'll figure that out. He obviously hasn't gathered all the facts just yet. This is just me but I wish folks wouldn't be so hard on one another. Rodney King said it best.
I think Ms. Andrews might get more than 75 million. That's just my little pea brain thinking. FCC.
Several things here:So a woman, gets photographed against her will, and you think its stupid? What if it was your wife or daughter in law? Would you think it was stupid then? Last time I checked, it made her the victim.
Pretty sure UKGrad explained the liability from the hotel, i.e. by giving access to room next store via requests and breaking confidentiality records.
The video was seen at least 17 million times. So actually, Bert, it is worth money. Not $75 million obviously, but from having her image, loss of work, emotional scarring, etc. Its not like she begged to have it taken. But easily 10s of millions.
This isnt rocket science.
I don't agree with the $75 million at all. The dude only served 2.5 years in prison for a crime that she feels is worth $75 million? If I ever sue anyone I am asking for a Bazillion dollars.
Hey Willy, my man. Please remember me if successful. FCC.
Me: "Yes, your honor, that is no error. I am asking for 1 bazillion dollars."
Judge: "How much is a Bazillion dollars"
Me: "If you have to ask, then you prolly can't afford it. I will take that Bazllion in million dollar bills".
Lawyer to Willy: Willy, as my client, I must ask, when you sniffed those red panties, did you notice an immediate nasal burn or was it delayed?
Willy: Which answer will get me quicker to a Bazillion dollars?
Lawyer: Oh yeah! FCC.

"pfffttttt" sounds come out from under the gown with a hefty shit smell following.
Idk, really. There is a prized historic painting depicting slavery on UK's campus. People got upset about it last year. They demanded Capilutou do something. He covered it up, assigned a "task force" to come up with a solution. They did not. People still upset. Then it turned into an entire racism on campus thing. Special groups were formed. Demands were made, and UK is expected to adhere to some or all of these demands.
They had a town hall meeting last night about it. UK basically has more quotas to meet, and they most stop racist micro aggressions....I still don't know what these are, but from what I gather, they gotta stop being so white, and make sure black people feel more comfortable. A poll revealed last night the overwhelming majority of black students on campus (70+%) do not feel comfortable on campus, and it's largely due to racist micro aggressions. A sense that not all are welcome, not all are equal.
I can see both sides. I never ever saw blatant racism till I went to UK. Micro aggressions, I guess. I'm just not sure what all these demands are about as of now. UK said today they are working towards building a "center for social justice" - a place where faculty can come and work on social equality and justice - which they say is already in place - this is just a new gathering place for them to operate and educate.
Not trying to get political. Just had a question about primaries and stuff.
So let's say Trump messes around and wins the nomination. Then suddenly the big cats realize "OH CRAP. NONONONONONONONONO"
Is there legal recourse to just nominate another guy instead? I'm sure it would be lawsuit on top of lawsuit until November, but something tells me that could happen.
Okay.We have stayed apolitical in this thread for a while now. Keeps the relative peace.
Afternoon Bastards of Knowledge.
Do whaaaaaa?
YEAH WELL MICRO-AGGRESSION IS FOR PUSSIES SO I'M ALL ABOUT MACRO-AGGRESSION AND WE DON'T NEED NO F#%KIN' POLITICS IN THE D CAUSE WE AIN'T GOT NO GODDAMNED BAND AND THAT GOES FOR COCKSUCKERS AND RETARDS
I agree with most of that, Bert, but I also cringe while reading it because I am a product of society, and society don't play that shit....as much as I hate to say it. You go saying something like that on a college campus and you'd be on the news.
People need to mind their own damn business. Period. The amount of feelings that people catch today over trivial bullshit and opinions from complete strangers is troubling.
The ironic thing, imo, is these type of "social justice" warrior types are all about being worldly, and being like Europe, or whoever. Welp, we're headed there, you fn idiots. You do not know what you're asking for, but you're gonna get it.
Mash, I really don't understand what you just said.

I love when white people decide its time for black people to stop being so sensitive.More and less that today's millennials are self narcissists POSs.

I hope that is what he means.
There are some things that we learned in the last 10,000 years. I just don't understand why we have to forget what we have learned to get along in today's society.
2055. That's the year when racial sensitivity leaves our beloved earth for good......
I hope that is true.
Too much of our energy is used up over absurd stuff like racism.
I am not racist as I love and hate, all, equally. But race is used against all of us.
