The Jian Ghomeshi saga

[CountDeMoney]

60 Minutes had a piece last night on genetic engineering and the future ability to map out pathways for eliminating potential genetic dispositions to birth defects, etc.;  the scientist even said that we'd eventually arrive at procreation without intercourse, as having sex would simply be too dangerous.

Too dangerous for what?

To risk the potential in birth defects.  Everybody is a carrier of bad genetic material for something;  it's when two people who carry the same bad genetic material procreate that bad shit can happen.  It's all X and Y stuff.

That doesn't mean sex is too dangerous - just "too dangerous" for procreative purposes.

I kinda thought you guys would be able to figure that out on your own, without having to type shit twice without having to type shit twice.

Hmmmm. Genetically pure children?

I'll put in a order for a dozen.

That's enough out of you, Mengele.

Sure maybe they can work on sentence structure.

Oddly enough, I've been lambasted here for over punctuation as well. Oh well.

I just had beer with a buddy who knows a couple of people who work at CBC Radio in Vancouver (where Ghomeshi is based). I know them as well, but as acquaintances only. My buddy says that the friends know Ghomeshi well in a professional context, at have regularly talked about how the guy is a total sleazeball to the point that this is totally not an "unbelievable surprise" or anything like that.

He also opined that that Ghomeshi is (or was) CBC Radio's number one money maker, and the way the CBC is run they would never get rid of Ghomeshi unless they had to. Their bottom line is way too important. So again, he is inclined to believe they had good reason to fire him.

It's third hand anecdotes and all, so not worth much, but hey it's one of the things we talked about and it's relevant to the thread so I posted it here.

Salon posits a similar argument about the necessity of saying the women were educated and employed...among other things,

Sex can be dangerous if you don't have safewords.

What if your safeword is "harder"?
