Exactly. The biggest punch in the gut is when I read such an account where a woman admitted that her dog was vicious towards black people but otherwise was the "kindest, sweetest thing ever". The fact that those two things weren't inherently mutually exclusive ("otherwise" notwithstanding) really showed what she…

I am completely unforgiving about racist dogs and their owners. Thats why I think dogs make it a point not to appear racist around me. Seriously, I've seen dogs barking viciously at other things and people but get calm and tolerant when I approach. So that's how you deal with it. Clearly give off the air of "I am not…

Sorry...

What is this "family member's health emergency" catch-all that's de rigueur? I've never understood it. Are we all on call doctors now? Is it just understood that it's important to know that your aunt had a heart-attack as soon as technologically possible?

That might be more the "elite college" than the generation.

I was born in '82, stayed in the big deal metropolis I went to college in, and I didn't understand ANYONE until the character of the young scene (and even online forums) started to be defined by other millennials. My entire early 20s are a complete fog, they're totally meaningless and forgettable since my relevant…

Thank God; this comment being the first one to show up on the article made my day. Thanks to the makeup of mainstream internet spaces it's impossible to find any criticism of this show, but I've felt the same thing you do. Caveat, the difference between Cartman and Archer is that Cartman is an idiot and loses all the…

Ew. He's not sexy.

She was a part of the bad thing, the bad thing that was pushed on our culture by a misguided authority, and then was flippant about being so, goodness, it's really not the twisty maze of faulty logic you're making it out to be.

I'm not a fanatic. I'm just letting you know that "following the wishes of the parents" isn't really the perception the fury is coming from.

Why are you certain it was the parents decision? Did you think that US moms simultaneously started asking for their sons to be circumcised en masse starting in the late 40s?

You're ignorant. Circumcision didn't become the norm because a whole bunch of parents suddenly wanted it; it was an institutional movement. From that POV she's a soldier making a kill.

Of course they can refuse, and parents don't request them, doctors suggested them.

We already know he wouldn't be the first gay player; and he's obviously not openly gay, so no, this line of rationalization doesn't work out.

I've seen plenty of gay rom-coms (because there are plenty, and I can't believe this is an actual question), and it still hasn't been topped in over a decade.

I can't believe this is a serious question if you've ever attempted to find either movies or books like that.

See what you did.

Shrug. I'll lick it off if you're worried.

Nice sneaky heartwarming V-day story.

They're 10 and 12.
