Fair. It wasn't Dubai... yet more rich and not as westernized as Dubai. I suppose I was just suggesting that places can still be considered shitholes yet have things other people would consider luxuries. It takes considerable sums of money to renovate and add luxuries such as rooftop pools to buildings that are much…

We had two roof top pools in a shitty apartment complex in one of the mid eastern countries.

I would have starred this...

A very good friend of mine accused her abusive ex boyfriend of rape/imprisonment. He trapped her in the apartment, was holding a knife and repeatedly threatened to hurt her for leaving him. After a couple of hours she just wanted to get out so she tried 'seducing' (even typing that word in this context makes me want…

This is a messy argument and I don't really want to get into it. I don't agree with everything you write but I don't think you're completely wrong either. These situations are messy. Years ago, a boyfriend and I had been out drinking and when we got back home we slept together. We never slept in clothes anyway so…

Furthermore, I think even Cersei recalls the whole sex play between her and Jamie. She would always act as if she didn't want it and it was a 'game' to both of them but she always got off more on the idea of being desirable and what her beauty could get her. Which is why I'm annoyed that HBO makes Jamie seem so rapey.…

No, Cersei realizes her allies are falling left and right and tries to manipulate Jamie into sleeping with her because that's how she's always controlled him in the past. Cersei has always held power over Jamie. Always. Lena Headley does wonders to make show Cersei both sympathetic and badass but book Cersei is a…

I was working at a department store in highschool and would tend to wear skirts and heels. Nothing flashy as I was 16 and still pretty shy about my body. Anyway, I had a couple wander into my section and spend a good amount of time just browsing. That's not weird... what's weird is that they approached me and the…

Yeah, if memory serves correctly then Cersei tries to seduce Jamie to gain control over him again and he turns away disgusted. They are hardly on speaking terms at this point in the books and Tyrion had already told Jamie about Cersei seducing other men to do her bidding. So Jamie realizes that's what she's trying to…

Yes. Because clearly rational discourse is something to be scorned at around here.

Ha! So it's totally cool for you to assume and make statements about me because... duh, white people. But any thought I have is racism?

Assumptions on top of more assumptions. I enlisted in the US military at 19. Any 'white hierarchy' is not only thrown out the window but burned upon sight if people are ignorant enough to advocate any supremacist ideals. I've fought for and respected more minority leaders than not.

False. That wasn't the argument or had anything to do with this conversation.

Why such hatred?

Oh, this isn't my first exposure to your statements... You have a chip on your shoulder and you can go ahead and rock that but must understand that not everyone else will see things exactly through your eyes.

While we can agree on the harmful effects of gentrification all day long... your statement is no different than me saying 'Why are all of the Mexicans coming up I5 and setting up shops, and crowding ten of themselves into cars and creepily calling me out as I walk home from school?' My neighborhood changed and went…

I'm confused... not discounting your story but I have never received an inappropriate message on this site. I'm kinda single but kinda taken and I'm honest with anyone about it. My sister is a pro online dater and has never been approached in such a way either.

Just watched it. I couldn't agree more.

It's... disappointing.

Ehhh... he was much sexier when I didn't know who it was.
