He accidentally missed a clarifying denominator in the middle of an otherwise naturalistic sentence (the implication here is due to lack of detail, but it's not hard to read it as "[the continent of] Europe will always be THE CENTER," or even "[the countries in] Europe". Especially considering a continent is made up…

DIAF and comments of that ilk are troubling to me because they're similar to the "go kill yourself" messages I got when I was in the depths of my depression. Obviously, I have some personal issues with that type of phrasing, but I would argue we should avoid that type of language not because it hurts Ireland…

Ugh, I shuddered. Some people really could use psychological help.

Is there anything like this but with the roles reversed?

You're not sexist for not wanting to hit a woman. Hitting women is largely associated with brutal domestic violence in our culture perpetrated against women because 99.9% of the times a man is hitting a woman, it's a case of domestic violence where he'll probably proceed to un-consensually beat her to a pulp. Not…

"fragile and powerless" exactly the kind of women I find least appealing. I honestly like the thought of a woman who can keep her own such as in fighting. I have no interest in a "damsel in distress" who constantly needs protection. I'd much rather have a "knight" who can fight by my side and only needs my help if she…

This line of thinking seems problematic. . . I'm aware that most BDSM does not result in permanent mental or physical damage and that's totally ok. But if it does, like consensual mutilation, is it still morally acceptable?

I think you can insult Ireland Baldwin all day and all night (I'll start: She's an overprivileged little ninny who clearly doesn't know a thing about the Native American issues she claims to care about so much) without resorting to what's essentially a cutesy death threat. I'm not sure what the rarity of murder via…

Be still, my tell-tale heart.

This gets my

Never, whore.

Hmmm...no, that's not what I was saying. What I said was, and I quote: "I (as in me, myself, my personal opinion) would never hit a woman". I didn't say anything about hitting some dude, hell, I never hit someone! That's so fucked up man. That I say something as innocent as that and you call me a sexist without…

Wait. Ireland did something dumb. She's 18. You, who are likely far older than 18, are saying she should die in a fire —- and she's the gremlin?

Ireland!

I actually read about that here on Jezebel.

So my friend lived in this place about 4 or 5 years ago. It was kind of run down and old, but in a relatively safe neighborhood, and it was affordable and close to her college. One of the biggest draws for her was that it had a pretty big closet with shelves in it. (Having grown up in an older house, I can tell you…

HOW ABOUT A HAPPY ONE? Starring a PUPPY, of all things.
There, that should get some attention down in the greys.

Okay, so around February or so (I think), my first dog Bucky passed away. My mom had him put down after she found out his liver was littered with tumors beyond repair. For about a year he just hadn't been…

This isn't exactly scary, to me anyway, but it definitely changed the way I thought about life and death.

One more, not really a ghost story, just messed up.

This is my mother’s story. I don’t know what kind of story it is, exactly- only that it disturbed me as a child when she told it to me, and it disturbs me now.
