we've already got Shar'ia law powers for employers in this country, thanks to last year's Hobby Lobby Supreme Court ruling. :/

Thanks for listening to commenters! I was the one that asked for a "What's up with..." on microbeads! I feel famous!

No it's excuse making. You're trying to imply that black people wouldn't think that what happened HERE was so bad if we knew that slavery was a regular practice there.

What the fuck does any of that have to do with the horrors that are involved in the institution of slavery in the United States.

"When will the white community leaders stand up and condemn this epidemic of serial killers?"

Just got a pair of Sorels this year! They're amazing and I love them.

I started to read, and then realized that this is not directed at people who live in northern Canada where it is well below -20C (-4 F) for 6-8 months a year.

"To put up a fight," but not if he wants to drive. Got it.

UG...I hate this fucking song...and I had to use it in a slideshow for a friends wedding at her damned request! (I'm a cheap photographer/etc for hire for friends weddings). It was the wrong time to be an anally retentive perfectionist, I tell you....I heard that song exactly 4 billion trillion kajillion times as I…

Someone needs to teach her better taste in both shoes and men if she is looking for and dating men who are as worthless and need as much help as she describes.
