Because these people believe that's "socialism" and that "socialism" is bad.

If men got pregnant this wouldn't even be a debate.

Trust me, the crazy "abortion abolitionists" I know don't support any exceptions. (Well, maybe for fetuses with anencephaly, I haven't asked them.)

No, these people actually care about fetuses. They think fetuses are children.

Sorry, how are the death penalty and war "anti-woman"? That sounds more "anti-men" or just "anti-people."

I'm not sure if you're sarcastic or serious but that's not what "pro-life" means.

Regardless of whether these white southerners are racist or not or how racist they are, there is no way Holmes' statement is accurate.

I know a lot of people who LOVE the musical. I went to see it and loved it. Went out and bought the book and read it. It's not as overtly entertaining as the musical but has more substance and more interesting character development. I like the way Elphaba becomes sort of evil in the book but you understand it and…

Did Skeletor also play basketball?

This might be a really dumb question, but "12 Years a Slave" is literally about a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery and then escaped after 12 years.

I don't have to explain what rad-scum means to anyone.

You can tell your Canadian friends that with all due respect, I find their attitude annoying. If we're talking about national origin, "American" is the only name for me. They don't have to call themselves Americans because they can call themselves Canadians. Yeah, if you look in the dictionary technically "American"…

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.

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.
