The woman who has alleged that ⁠she was drugged ⁠and raped by Cornell University students has been the target of threats, her lawyer said on Sunday.

    Remember, these rapists will likely go on to successful careers in politics and business.

            You must have had that loaded up and all ready to blast at someone because you read all that into my comment and then attacked what you read in. Namecaller. But please, tell me more about your damage.

                Because you are in a bad mood, that makes it okay to abuse strangers? Because you are in a bad mood, you can insult my mother’s memory? Because you are in a bad mood, you can say racist and sexist shit, and that is just okay? That’s bannable behaviour, to be polite about it. Fix yourself. You’re the problem you hate.
