I sort of agree with you, but I don't think that rationale justifies continuing to use a system to determine college eligibility that rewards money (to pay prep school tuition, to get a tutor, to take the test multiple times) over innate skill. If everyone just took the test cold, that would be a different story, but…

I don't know, it sounds to me that all the other entrance factors for your university leveled the playing field between you and your boyfriend before the SAT re-erected the status quo.

I think after Liz and Dick made it terribly clear that Lindsey's family wouldn't be able to rely on her acting skillz to make money, they decided to revert to the old gold standard of having her stay on the covers of tabloids to keep her famous. Her parents seem like terrible people, they probably just can't wait for…

For clarity's sake, I wish Lindy would have written "Jerramy [not sic] has NEVER treated me poorly!" because damn, Jerramy is a name now?

Ask Jeeves.

When I was a kid in the late 90's they only had 5 or so characters- all white except for Addy. Even though I looked more like Kirsten, I hated her because she had the lamest books and never did anything cool, and neither did most of the rest of the white dolls. Except Molly, she was pretty a-ok. I LOOVED Addy though,…

WHYYYYY???

I have to agree- both with the TayTay dislike and the sympathizing. I did the same thing at my uncle's house and I finally had to wake up my cousin to ask her. Turns out the lights were on a fucking REMOTE CONTROL! Who does that?!

I personally enjoy it in all its forms and severities, but only when I'm out with friends- I hate feeling drunk at home. But I don't much enjoy the feeling of being high. And I downright hated the time I tried hallucinogens.

Even better than her pronunciation was when she held the taco up to her mouth and sort of pushed the filling in with her fingers, using the shell like a food chute. I love me some Catherine Tate!

Like right after my friend's grandma died we went to see 50/50 to cheer her up a little. Needless to say, it did not work out as planned- I haven't cried like that in a theater since Simba's dad died.

I've never made a dating site profile, but I know that when I do my bio will say "Looking for a liberal dude who enjoys long walks on the beach, dissecting gender, race, and class constructs on television, and protesting anti-choice and anti-immigration legislation. Must love dogs." I don't know who will respond to…

Ha I'm glad I'm not the only one who confused His Dark Materials and Mortal Instruments! Of course, we might be better off without the sequels considering what a mess The Golden Compass was...

Hey, thanks! Back atcha, plaidchucks!

This is actually a really interesting topic to discuss, I think, because it seems like there's no right answer. If one side gets what they want, the other side loses. Also, there's a huge amount of misinformation out there regarding Israel/Palestine and a lot is unhelpfully colored by anti-Semitic stuff and…

Ugh my tongue is shriveling up in sympathy for him!

I was in middle school in the early 2000s and I recall a little bit of anti-bullying education (RESPECT days, holla!). It was immediately post-Columbine and in Colorado, though, so everyone was still freaking out over the incorrect belief that those kids were bullied and so therefore bullying must equal school…

Bummer, that guy totally should have been convicted.

Well I just spent wayyy too much time trying and failing to find out what episode this was/who the well-known actor might be. Sorry, guys.

OK, I was watching Law & Order the other day and I didn't get to see the end, but it was a super intriguing mystery. 1) How would this go down IRL? and 2) How did it ennnnddd????
