getting weed legal is like being happy your stepdad who rapes you every night buys you all the food you eat. and voting is like telling him you love him.

weed has always been legal in my living room where the laws don't apply until some criminal comes breaking into my house wearing a homoerotic uniform and a badge.

lol @ homoerotic uniform, but I wonder...would you still be so cavalier on this topic if you were sitting in a jail cell or serving an interminably long probation sentence because of said cannabis?

by definition, i have been sexually assaulted by multiple women...these assaults don't negatively affect me, but i could certainly MAKE UP ways in which they do based on my lifestyle and choices.

always sorry to hear of others being sexually assaulted.  what was your experience(s)?


not hambeasts, but would it matter either way?  sexual assault is sexual assault is sexual assault [unless you're a white male]


i actually don't mind me a thick woman, as long as she's fit and healthy.

We will never know the truth of what happened. Ford is a piece of shit and so is Kavanaugh. As far as I'm concerned they can go fuck each other and stay the fuck out of the news. If this supposedly happened 20 years ago or whatever, then why is she bringing it up now? .

All she can do is tarnish his reputation, which is already shit to me. This is what democrats do now. They are worse than the republicans to me, who are actually now more liberal than the democrats ever were. Democrats like big government so they can shift blame from one department to another, and continue this tactic so nobody gets in trouble.

I think it’s pretty funny Fox is trying to criticize Rosie O’Donnell for using if a “gay slur” against Graham,
It’s like, you all know she’s gay, right?

does her being gay give her permission to publicly use a gay slur against someone?

I guess I technically could be a victim of sexual assault on two occasions but having a drunk girl try to kiss my neck and one other girl try to give me head at a party relentlessly and somewhat succeeding despite my obviously not being a party to the situation.
The head girl said she would be fucking me if she wasn't on her rag. Thick latina girl. I was fucked up drank half a bottle of vodka and did a bunch of acid and mushrooms and didn't really feel drunk. All I knew was I was trying to get with the blonde chick not her.
We were all fucked up and drunk own up to it, play dumb games win dumb prizes.

I'm definitely not interested in being upset about it

There's bullshit sexual assault and real sexual assault. And yes I'm trying to downplay some people's tragedies.

If the girl in the head situation was running for SC sure I would be like woah. But the fact that I wouldn't bother to bring it up until that situation... Means it doesn't matter. Sorry it's a nothing burger.

There are certainly degrees of sexual assault,
at the age of 14-15 my best friend's sister, "K", kissed me
was in a relationship at the time so did not kiss her back
and proceeded to panic over the fact that she had damned my soul to hell for committing adultery
(was brought up with a pretty strict religious background)
she sexually assaulted me, despite my not comprehending (ie: having no frame of reference) what sexual assault was at the time

a year later, she was back over at my house while we were both single
we were cuddling in my bed, kissed her and this time she did not kiss back, went back to cuddling at her preference
so, in turn, sexually assaulted her the same way she had sexually assaulted me

in the same timeframe, knew a girl, we shall call her "R", who was raped by her boyfriend
she was dating a beefy wrestler who used to constantly ask her for sex, when she eventually just did not bother to say "No" one night he mounted her, fucked her and busted in her
R was a total wreck the next day, sobbing to me about what happened and over the fact she was now bleeding like crazy because she panicked and went out for Morning After contraceptives out of fear of having a rape baby
they dated a few more months after that with no further sexual contact, at which point he apparently got frustrated and dumped her for someone else

she knew my support was there if she took the issue to the police, she did not do so
if he had ended up an Olympic wrestler or something and seeing him in the news was ruining her life 15+ years later, would still support her in her reporting to the police
would it be vindictive of us to try and destroy a rapist's Olympic career?
well, that prolly depends on if your framing of the situation is that what he did was permissible or not in the first place

R's experience with sexual assault in that timeframe was far more dramatic and crippling than my own
but ultimately they both based in a lack of meaningful education for developing individuals
There is definitely an (un)fortunate truth that my being sexually assaulted by K could never reach the level of lasting trauma R took from her boyfriend, whom she had previously quite intimately trusted

that does not make me totally unable to relate to her tho
was myself sexually assaulted as a small child, manipulated and exploited
and left with mental scars that hound me to this day
did not even have an adequate frame of reference to comprehend what happened to me at the time
and still feel frustrated and powerless in the wake of the issue

for me, it 'should' be easier
my rapist died a few years later in a car accident
that 'should' give me comfort, protection from the fear that he could come after me again
but it doesn't -- instead his face flashes across the face of every male stranger in my day to day encounters
never feel safe, despite the logical fact that the abuser who had focused his energy on me is unable to touch me now

if he was alive and pursuing a career in the highest Canadian courts
would definitely bring my information forward
not as an attempt to destroy his life
but as an acknowledgement that he destroyed mine

with all that said
voted STAL on the poll
Shroomery is the vast majority of my exposure to the Ford case, and it predominately impacts the laws of a country that is not my own
