It's taken me a long time to figure out why I hate being catcalled in almost every scenario but I think it's a combination of factors. For many women, when wanted/unwanted male attention starts, you're pretty young – a pre-teen or teenager. At that age, I didn't understand my own sexuality or really any one elses. I…

IDs are not free. This policy creates a poll tax that's thinly disguised as a deterrent to voter fraud. If IDs were issued to everyone at age 16 (or 18) and paid through by taxes so that the indigent could get them easily (SOCIALISM!!1), I would agree with you that it's not that big a deal to get one. State ID systems…

Well, in Oregon an official State ID costs $45. However the application requires that you have supporting documents for proof of citizenship like a birth certificate and/or passport. If you don't have either of those on hand you have to add the cost of getting them ($135 for a first time passport application or up to…

They cost $25 in both states that I have personal experience getting state IDs in, and the places you could get them in both those states would have been 100% inaccessible to me if I didn't have a car and the ability to take an entire day off work. One was rural, one urban; one in New England, one in the Deep South. …

Because id's cost money. Sometimes a lot — $50 plus lost wages standing in line at the DMV. This is equivalent to a poll tax, which is unconstitutional.

Its not that easy to acquire a state ID. Especially if you live in a rural area and its very hard / impossible for you to take any amount of time off work in order to go to a facility where acquiring an ID is possible (Insane waits at the DMV, etc) especially when you taking time off work may cost you your job.

The problem is that this was never how it was before. Before around 2012, no states really required ID at the ballot. I didn't need anything except my voter card (not photo id) when I cast my first presidential vote in 2008. Those laws were put out there after Obama won, in a pretty obvious attempt to keep the…

I think it's very relevant to talk about the number of ways that the system is designed to strip power away and prevent actual democracy from happening. My point here is that even had she cast her vote the system is built up in such a way that it is amazingly easy to massage results and marginalize…

Well, the rape part surely deserves its own article; it changes the discussion from one purely discussing a mod's features to something involving questioning the ethics of it and having it available.

Uh, dude, there's a pretty fucking gigantic difference between the consensual sex depicted in "hot coffee" and this, which is a depiction of rape.

I don't know who to be embarrassed/ashamed of more;
The people who developed this mod or the people who think this kind of childish shit is hilarious.

Another reason to nominate Rihanna.

this cat is B.O.R.E.D. anybody who's watched even half an episode of "my cat from hell" can tell this cat is just trying to play with her because he doesn't have an appropriate outlet for his energy.

I have a feeling she is a major part of the problem.

It's pretty hard to beat the Nickelodeon TMNT show right now. It has really clever writing, great animation and voice acting and great characterizations. They epidomized the teenagers aspect of the turtles while staying true to all their other great personality traits. My kids have already become TMNT obsessed due to…

I kind of assumed that's where you were going. It really doesn't work for me, but it seems to work for you, so that's good.

There are many definitions of love.

PLEASE I WANT IT I NEED IT PLEASE

I do not feel it is about the female body. I feel it is about a pretty darn graphic photo of a butt on the cover of an album. Out of curiosity, are there any male performers that have done a similar shot for their albums? I will never forget the Stones "Sticky Fingers" album. But it doesn't come close, really.
