Truth. My friends daughter is 2.5 years old and fucking RUDE to almost everyone (like rude to waitresses and people will smile because she's cute), but never gets reprimanded. She was being especially rude to me and I snapped, "Enough. You speak to me with respect or you don't speak at all, understand?" Her face went…

YES.

That doesnt work in this case. If the mom locked HERSELF in the car while the kids were allowed to go play in the store, sure, no more passing of the genes. But the kids were not at fault here.

I think whether its a child or a pet, there is no harm calling the police to make sure. Recently my husband and I moved across the country with our (not very pleased) cat. We stopped in a town, and I ran into a shop to grab two sandwiches while my husband sat in the car, and let the cat stretch out of his carrier. We…

Seriously, the first thing I would have done is called the cops. The fact that these bystanders just let her go without calling the cops first is baffling.

Very true. Also a reason to go slow and use plenty of lube. As if you needed another reason.

That's why I love Gawker sites. People leave well-informed comments and don't use generalizations.

No, you just know stupid people. I know plenty of country music fans who aren't like that. Maybe don't generalize across an entire genre?

I agree. The security guard was super patient & respectful - he didn't change his tone or get patronizing or short with her.

I actually think making this book into two movies will be a huge success, and a great idea. Mockingjay was PACKED with action, drama, the revolution, Katniss coming onto her own and becoming an adult, etc, etc. If it was only one movie, it would be super rushed and disjointed as a film.

Ahh yes, the false notion that the word nigger has no racial context and can be applied to anyone because it means "uneducated person". I think he was purposely being dense. He knows that word is meant for black people. Has he ever used that word towards a black person? Or does he only say it to white people because…

'Her sole contribution to [my wank fantasies] was being a hot, big-boobed blonde bimbo'.

I read it that way too... Not that the writer was being flip or funny, but that the writer was trying to emphasize that they left the woman in a ditch. It gives me the impression the writer is young-ish or informal. The use of "literally" often subs for "really" or "seriously!" these days. The editor obviously isn't…

... but he didn't use the word properly.

I think it has less to do with any genetic issues or ick-factor than it does the ick-factor of being intimate with your close relatives...like, idk if cousins don't hang in the UK, but I grew up with my cousins. I see them all the time. It seems the same as fucking your sibling to me. Too close. Don't shit where…

Ha! With that attitude, she/he was probably a great Kindergarten teacher!

I've seen this "logic" too, except the word used was "fag". Idiot tried to say that the word didn't actually refer to gay people. It just meant "something bad".

Wow. Homes took on an entire room of people to defend his privilege to use a word that he had no right to use. Impressive stupidity.
