That's not just what we're talking about though. We're also talking about the fact that MLB apparently doesn't care if players have a drinking problem as long as they don't get DUIs.

Yes - Canadians, Mexicans, etc. could *technically* call themselves Americans, but that's unnecessary and confusing. Canadians can call themselves Canadians so why do they need to go around calling themselves Americans? We're Americans and we've only got the one name.

Your friend from Nicaragua is Central American but she is not American. American means "from the US." We are the the only country that has "America" right in the name. Also, there is no other word for us, really. There is no other single word to fill in the blank in "I am ________" that means "from the US." So we…

JLaw trips at the Oscars because of course she does.

So I liked Leto in "Requiem for a Dream" but haven't seen Dallas Buyers' Club yet.

I think it's kind of funny that in the span of 2 or 3 days we've had stories about backlash to the Boy Scouts' anti-gay policies (this article) as well as backlash to the Boy Scouts' pro-gay policies (fundie Christian boys joining Trail Life USA instead).

I went to school in Oklahoma, and there were PLENTY of girls looking to meet their husband in college. I'm 26.

Where are you from? That's crazy to require proof that the name causes you acute psychological distress before you're allowed to change it. "I like this name better and here's the small administrative fee" should be reason enough.

No, "swipe" is a reference to the dating/hookup app Tinder. You can swipe right or swipe left (by moving your figure on your touchscreen). One of them approves a person; the other rejects them. I forget which is which.

According to court documents, she has a history of "catfishing"—posing as a boy online, even passing herself off as a cancer patient. And while none of that has anything to do with rape allegations,

I know one guy who is an MRA. I don't really know what his personal life is like because he lives on a different continent and I haven't seen him in person since high school. He says some messed up stuff but not on the level of physically attacking women or anything like that; he's hard to debate because he reads more…

If the MRAs think that false rape accusations are as bad as rape, then doesn't flooding a college with false rape accusations make them as bad as rapists?

I didn't say that, buckaroo. I was treating them as a couple since they're in a happy long-term relationship and have a child together. I'm sure Ye probably pays for stuff when they do things together, but you're right, they're not married.

She is a powerful woman of means who chose to act like a woman who is not powerful and not a person of means.

Kanye West is worth well over $100 million on his own. I don't know what Kim herself pulls in but it's got to be something - she has a successful reality show and I believe gets paid to promote clubs and stuff like that.

You keep saying, "I've never heard anyone say 'She was asking to be raped.' "

Gay sex is not pegging.

Michael Sam is the black football player who came out. You know, as opposed to all of the white football players who have come out.

Oklahoma and Mississippi are probably the two reddest states. They would be the least likely to pass a law approving same-sex marriage if it came down to popular consensus. That said, Oklahoma has a lot of Indian tribes and at least one of them already allows same-sex marriage if both spouses have tribal citizenship.

No worries. :) I'm a cross-country skier but I've never done downhill skiing in my life, and I didn't understand the difference between all of these different Alpine skiing events until I looked them up this year during the Olympics. I just wanted to put that out there for clarity.
