It's fine if you don't want a formal ceremony, but let's not pretend there aren't cultural, social, and religious customs that come with some weddings (read: people of different religions and cultures may value their traditional marital customs, even if you don't). Also, for a lot of people the wedding is really for…

this article just seems kinda mean. I wouldn't want to be compared to Malala either.

This is my beef with everything this commenter said. Many blacks have been in the US for several generations - even longer than many whites. We don't speak the language of our ancestors, have no awareness of their cultural mores or even the general location of our ancestral origins. So, we are AMERICAN. We aren't…

Did you really just attempt to teach a Jamaican about Jamaica?!

"western African heritage"? Um, no. I'm a black American, born and raised, of Jamaican descent. None of your questions prove that cultural appropriation is not real. "Blue jeans" is not part of one culture. Neither are weaves/hair extensions and marriage...

Guess *you* missed the part where he obviously made a point of holding the door, giving his "biggest smile" and talking to them SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE they were Muslim and he relished the idea of pissing them off.

So you decided to deliberately antagonize strangers who did nothing to bother you, just because the women were in traditional clothing? The fuck is wrong with you?

So you fucked over some people because you didnt agree with their fashion choices? Or was it because none of them sucked you off even though you held the door open for them?

I have a huge ass and I love my boy shorts.

I don't think this is a "women with flat asses" issue. I have a huge booty, and prefer hipster style.

You must not be very good at looking, since that name for that region dates to Ancient Greece.

Did you really just use the Blackfoot Nation as one of your examples? If you are trying to support the Israeli position, you might do better than citing the genocide of an indigenous population and the theft of their land by invading Caucasian marauders. Yes borders change over time, but some of your examples go to…

Regardless of your position on this mess, yours is the most ignorant statement in this entire comment thread. Where do you read your history? Fox.com? The Bible?

That's a never ending story though. I come from Strasbourg (France), and over the last 200 years, we've been French, German, French again, German again, and then finally French. And we're not killing each other for that.

Yes. Because, generally, pedophilia is a incurable disorder. The perp needs ongoing therapy (up to and including chemical castration to remove his/her sexual urges, because, for a pedophile, "sexual urges" = urge to hurt children). It's not like, Gee, I wanted to burglarize that house, I did it, I went to jail, now no…

Sounds like a good idea. They are never cured anyway.

Fine, so he didn't go to jail twice. Doesn't change the fact that he was convicted of 22 counts of child sex. He didn't just "do things." He did a helluva lot of things. He was abusing those two girls for years. And just because he hasn't had a conviction in 15 years, doesn't mean he hasn't done it again. It…

Not saying there aren't other reasons, but it's daft to pretend this new information is absolutely in no way relevant. Also I'm compelled to note that the ferocity with which you're choosing to defend a child abusing pedophile is curious.

The fact that a man who abandoned the male of a pair of twins and kept the female is completely unrelated to the fact that he has been convinced of sexually abusing little girls in the past? You don't do well on logic puzzles, do you?

omg right?!?!! IT'S A WITCH HUNT!!!!!! FALSE FLAG!!!!!!!11
