    As a tech blogger, I make it my business to keep up. To me, the tech industry is the ultimate job security—as long as you keep up, there's a place for you there. So no, I don't necessarily feel overwhelmed or overcome by the next generation. But then, I actively have been teaching my daughter to "game", and am pleased

    Wow, we can't even wait til Kesha actually proves she isn't a one hit wonder?

    Ahem, I'm sorry but what's this Dina is saying about Lindsay being "strong"? Is she talking about her daughter or all the drugs she's on?

    So relieved my fellow Jesbians see Leno for the unfunny hack that he is, and Conan for the comedy god that HE is.

    Huh, they must not be as wholesome and Christian as they think. What are they DOING teaching women science?!?

    I'm reading that crap and basically hearing,

    What baffles me about the entire thing is that from what I understand, there was some terminology in the original stories used to hint that Holmes was gay. I've read through them all, but since I'm not up on my late 1800s slang, I have no clue one way or another.

    @goldenmonkey: Yes, I feel your pain because I used to be overweight before going into physical therapy. Part of my anger comes from having seen both sides, and realizing how much better people treat me without the extra weight. They wouldn't even look at me, especially not in the eyes, when I was overweight. It

    @lilithmelpomene: Criticism isn't the same as insulting. Just because it ties into their culture and beliefs doesn't mean its acceptable, correct, or reasonable. Or untouchable.

    @lilithmelpomene: Ahem. That's exactly what I said my boyfriend said. And just because its their choice doesn't mean it isn't symbolic of an ideal that is very harmful to women and THAT is my point. The idea behind it is oppressive, and I really don't think I have to be a Muslim living in the Middle East to be able to

    @rowingrowingrowing: Oh no fucking kidding! One time, a dirty pharmacist in LA threw me a whole baggy of Xanax. Casually. Like it was nothing. I'm sure a part of him wanted me to get hooked so I'd have to come back for more...but then, with his clientele, he didn't need my business (not like I had much money or

    @EmpressZombie: I guess that's where we differ. You excuse it as "humanity" and I view it as socially conditioned superficiality. You're right, "it takes time", but if people don't speak up and hold ourselves to higher standards of behavior, then nothing ever changes. It'll never happen at all if someone doesn't come

    @Dirk Anger: Heh agreed. NH—"Not hetero", is only two letters while LGBTQ and so on and so forth is a lot more. As a B in the LGBT, I'm all for it.

    As a former fundamentalist may I just say that nothing in the world infuriates me more than "hate the sin, not the sinner"? It angers me to no end when my parents use it to this day. They say that about gay people, say they don't judge, say they don't think gay people are inequal...then they say "hate the sin, not the

    @EmpressZombie: That sounds like a cop out. Its much easier to say "its always going to be there until we evolve into something else" rather than expecting people to stop behaving like assholes. Evolution shouldn't be an excuse to not personally evolve in the here and now. No one said anything about "wishing" but I

    @k.trujillo8: So does the rest of South Park watchin' America!
