My husband has managed to forget my assault story, and when I reminded him of it, he asked me not to remind him again. I understand where he is coming from, but at the same time, it's part of my story, and it's one that affects both of us. It's hard.

hm, lets see. girl is high on drugs. guy is not. he is sober enough to drive back to her place. guy knows she really out of it. guy continues to have brutal sex with her that leaves her with bleeding and pain in the pelvic region for more than 3 days.
yep. sounds like rape to me.

I'm not sure what the situation is like in Germany, but all the English people I know just can't really comprehend how police could shoot anyone and not at least face a very serious inquiry. Because of the way stricter gun laws, cops shooting people is a very rare occurrence, and when it does happen, they don't just…

I believe you all! The royal family wasn't responsible for that statement, and it wasn't current, and I'm sorry I thought otherwise. However, I stand by my statement that the royal family is not worth dressing up for, and that all of them - with the exception of Prince William (who is apparently a mensch who saves…

I know. Something about it just rubs me the wrong way. It's one thing to say that journalists ought to dress up for a White House event (technicians ought to be permitted to wear clean, appropriate work clothes like jeans, however), but it's rather exasperating if one is being told to do so in order to please some…

I would love to be an inbred buffoon so I could dictate how people dress when I walk into a room.

This is the first time in recent memory I've been proud of my country. Never worked a day in your life and you're trying to tell working people how to dress? Eat an inbred dick. If I ever met the royal family I would show up wearing nothing but a soiled diaper and an American flag pin. For freedom. (Not really, I'm…

Okay, I'm a SoCal guy who wears flip flops year round. But still. A White House dinner? Dress the hell up!

Question: If Prince William got hair plugs, do you think the world would hold it against him and ridicule him for doing it?

I don't know. I need to think about it. I'm leaning towards yes, but "driven" is such a vague term.

Yep his daughter was pretty much persona non grata for awhile. No idea what her deal is now. Funny thing is that that's an appropriate way for parents to deal with their kids' drug issues, but it makes me wonder what her side of the story is. Like if something or someone drove her to addiction.

That's a really good point. It'd turn into a white wine and cheese club pretty fast....and I admit that sounds fun.

Those are totally different. They're rich people making fun of poor people and they're tacky as hell.

I think this is it exactly. A lot of white people have never heard of "white privilege" and don't recognize it for what it is. I distinctly remember my first experience with someone pointing it out to me (Driving in Philly, rough neighborhood with bad registration, no license and a black friend in the passenger seat.…

I guess I don't really understand how it's "piggybacking" when it is the same issue- but I can appreciate that some people might see it that way, and will not be using the hashtag.

My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

Thanks, appreciate it, that seemed really fucked up! I disagree with you guys sometimes but I'm usually pretty supportive. If I can't be a salty beeyatch here every now and then, I'll gladly take my queefs elsewhere :-D

Isn't the whole point of satire is to point out how fucked up something is? I doubt Kara really wants anyone to get a Black friend just to be diverse.

True story: when I came out, a guy I had known for about a decade exclaimed "that's great, I don't have a lesbian friend!" Well you still don't, asshole
