I was really enjoying this until the blatant and ignorant criticism of Islam under the guise of criticizing sexism. In France there is a huge amount of racism against Muslims, and it is not uncommon for people to claim that the religion is inherently sexist and thus primitive while using the hijab as an example of how…

Yeah, that was really the part that made me chuckle. And how he didn't think to look, because that's not unusual.

Also, wasn't there a section of the London ceremony about industrialization? You know, that thing where we hadn't put any safety regulations in place, payed very low wages, and used child labor? But of course, that wasn't used to make fun of Britain. I mean, fuck Communism! Who cares about space?!

I couldn't agree more. So many things I am reading bother me so much—especially the tone of "look at these silly Russians har har har." You could make a case for every single country hosting the Olympics to have violated human rights—Vancouver's Olympics took place on unceded Native lands, for example. And as far as…

Thank you. This isn't the fault of the Russian people.

I guess it depends on what people you ask. Of course a lot of people are dead - anywhere between 100,000 and over 1,000,000 directly due to us bombing the shit out of their country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualtie… I'm sure those thousands of people with cancer and gross birth defects probably didn't…

This is what winning looks like. :(

If you read through the link, it's a little less dismissive than the Jez article makes it sound:

"Yes, we lost two friends, two ideological fellow member, but the world has acquired two brave, interesting, controversial human rights defenders," the letter reads. "We appreciate their choice and sincerely wish them well…

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.

can she take back the epilogue too?

here.

Ginny was Harry's way into the Weasley family. He always wanted Ron's family and now he's got it. Ginny is a Harry Potter fan-girl. This is like how Katie Holmes ended up supposedly married to Tom Cruise.

Only bleak if you think taking companies public—and therefore making them first and foremost profit-making enterprises beholden to shareholders—is necessarily a good thing.

Did you know that the Asia Pacific region ranks higher in the number of women CEOs that Europe and North America? In Thailand, for exemple, 30% of companies are ran by women, in China 19%. By comparison, 9% of companies in the EU and 5% in North America have female chief executives. We can learn a lot from them I…

Yes! And more variations in age, as well. And middle-aged and old people (men and women) are shown having sex. What will those crazy Brits do next?

I don't think that American actresses are cast solely on the basis of their looks—they do have to be able to act as well. But I don't believe that only the supremely beautiful can act. And what was so interesting was that they were asking for average looking men, but hot, sexy women. So that is what they are…

"...a guy who puts the time in to be your friend and then eventually wants it to become physical as an expression of his feelings for you, is really feeling ENTITLED."

I agree that IF we are going to discuss these issues (and I'm talking about this site, specifically), then we need to have nuanced discussion.
