      Indeed. To be sure, Haiti hasn’t been the model of good post colonial governance. But they had 2 strikes against them to begin with.

        Ugh... What a horrible story. Shame on both the US and France. Especially France.

        I can't believe this isn't more well-known. Excellent reporting.

              A little back story; when I first started having sex I researched into ways to be better as I was a little stiff

                  • From the comments:

                    I’m laughing hysterically at him saying he finishes to this song and I’m imagining him doing it at the very end and just powering down like a robot.
                    I am losing it laughing.
