Actually, that's not true. People had television and radio behind the iron curtain, too, and antennae who could pick up West German channels. They knew what was happening. When Günter Schabowski announced that people would be allowed to travel to West Germany, effective immediately, Berlin wasn't the only place were…

Obviously I added the emphasis because that sentence is a perfect embodiment of politiglam pop culture. While I do think that Madonna gets dibs on this gig as she was, you know, relevant in 1989 whereas Lady Gaga was not, where the shit is German post-punk/glam/reggae/Neue Deutsche Welle sensation Nina Hagen? Or…

you know, people say this so often, but more often than not it's in response to a really tame, innocuous thread, like we have here. you said something stupid and were called out on it — calmly, with neither ALLCAPS nor excessive punctuation — and yet still lament 'the angry Jezebel horde.' so what is it? are you…

We don't like assholes.

Write a stupid comment and that is the answer you get. You deserved nothing more.

Walking outside for long distances is actually one of the healthiest things a person with PTSD can do, and it is recommended by doctors. There is no unique prescription for curing PTSD. She's not hurting anybody and she doesn't have weapons to harm herself or others. Leave her be.

She's bisexual. She has stated this many times. That means you can be attracted to both men and women— which seems like it may be a hard concept for you to grasp. "Acting straight" has little to do with it.

Well aware. I've had a few hookups myself. But people are allowed to change their minds after the fact. If I sleep with a guy and decide he's not the one for me, it doesn't make me evil, it means we're not dating anymore. This guy is just acting like he DESERVES to keep her BECAUSE they had sex. It doesn't work that…

Clearly, she did not have this amazing awesome world-altering soul-bonding sexual experience he keeps raving about, or she would have kept him. Just sayin'.

Brilliant. It's like watching a toddler enthusiastically trying to follow along with dancing Teletubbies on the TV. He's so earnestly happy, I could just weep. It's the ninja turtle kicks and punches that really sell it.

I am obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio's recreational time. Have you seen the video of him dancing to MGMT at Coachella?

I approve of Leo's reaction to this series of events. Only because I feel Leo looks kind of sad a lot.

I honestly believe that it's more about controlling women than saving children. If they gave a shit about saving children, they might not be working so hard to cut programs that help the ones that are already living.

I have such mixed feelings about this. Don't get me wrong, rights are awesome. But gay marriage fits really, really well into the conservative idea that the nuclear family is the basic building block of society. There's going to be a lot of people who are ok with you being gay, but only so long as you get married and…

The trouble is...they whine about how we should respect those beliefs, because they're deeply held religious values. But they completely fail to comprehend that whatever they happen to think about a fetus, a lot of people have pretty strongly held beliefs of the opposite.

They see me trollin', they hatin'

Who would have thought we'd get to a point where Republicans were ok with same sex marriage but still suppressing women's reproductive choices?

Plenty of citizens don't pay taxes. I believe in having a social safety net.

And my point is ILLEGALS CAN'T FUCKING GET WELFARE. Does being a racist and being willfully ignorant go hand-in-hand?

LOL you never applied? Brilliant.
