Yeah because being raped is the same as this.

Probably it ends somewhere before lunchboxes.

And again. You're right, bullying is wrong. And there's nothing wrong with a lunchbox. But this is the response he's going to get if he keeps bringing it, regardless of how wrong that response is. He can harden his shell and soldier on, or his mom can get a bunch of internet people to sign a petition to make the…

Funny, that's actually not the argument I'm trying to make. Maybe what you meant is "what I massively misconstrued your argument to be" instead. What I'm saying, and what others have said, is that yeah, the bullies are wrong. Full stop. They are not being rewarded, and should be punished. But sometimes when you do…

Is carrying a My Little Pony seriously being elevated to the level of "asking someone to stop being who they are"? You're actually doing a lot of harm to the efforts to eliminate bullying against people for their sexual orientation/race/religion by trying to conflate a boy carrying a lunchbox to the struggle not to…

If this comes down to champagne and weed I am going to have a reeeaalllllyyyy hard time coming up with a final answer.

But being brown or gay is not at all the same thing as carrying a lunchbox to school. One you absolutely cannot claim is a choice in any way. The other you cannot in any way claim is not a choice. Your point is not really at all valid.

You're absolutely correct, it's a shame you'll just get piled on instead.

No Southern Princess would ever call it a "soda-pop" or any other such blasphemy. It's a coke. As in, "Do ya'll want a coke?" From that decision you may select an actual Coca-cola, 7-up, Dr. Pepper, etc.

Let me get this straight: you've been sniping at me for days now for calling posters here too serious, seemingly not only missing the point of the comment but amazingly proving it at the same time. But not only that, in your zeal to be the last word on the subject, you have to recycle material that ISNT EVEN YOUR OWN…

You're precious.

A "snowflake" and a "bless your heart". Are there any other condescending catchphrases you'd like to throw in while you continue to miss the fucking point?

Yeah clearly she was making fun of that instead of the psychotic religious beliefs that drive people to murder. Good catch!

I'm pretty sure it's because 95% of Jezzies are wayyy too serious all the time, not that the comment was insufficiently sarcastic.

That's awful, and clearly illustrates the point behind why inviting one half is just an awful thing to do. Sorry you had to go through that!

That's pretty much the point of etiquette though. The things you are supposed to do even though they aren't what you would rather do. The thing you should do is invite the shitty spouse and play nice. What you would rather do is tell the spouse to fuck off.

Nothing in etiquette is really ever described as being "mandatory", it's just what you do in order to be socially correct.

This is incorrect. A wedding thrower should always invite spouses / fiancees / partners of guests. Expecting your guests who have significant others to attend a social event without their significant other is incredibly rude.

You do not invite half of a couple to a wedding. Repeat: you do NOT invite half of a couple to a wedding. Every major wedding etiquette guide says this, repeatedly, Emily Post is the most readily accessible in case anyone doubts this. It is exceedingly rude, as the one getting married, to deprive a person of their…

You know how I know this article is bullshit? Nobody folds their fitted sheets. It's impossible. Checkmate.
