Yeah, it means "we're really nice to you, if you're white, straight, Christian and otherwise just like us. Everybody else can fuck off.".

Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I feel like Big Pharma must have my address wrong, bc I have yet to receive my check for BIG CASHall this cash I'm supposed entitled to

Right??????

Um. Can you not be raping me with the truth please? It hurts my braingina.

I saw him speak once as a kid and I've been in love ever since. He's one of my top 5 favorite people on Twitter because he has the kind of wit that is both hysterical AND effective when constrained to 140 characters.

Another close call story here. I had the whooping cough as a toddler. I'm lucky I wasn't younger. As an infant, it could have been devastating. Instead, I was sick for about a month, and my first memories are of being that sick. My poor parents, I can't imagine how worried they must've been. Every time a post like…

I also just don't understand. He is literally STATING FACTS. Horrific horrific things have been done in the name of religion. Like it happened. It actually did. So why shouldn't that be discussed?

The only thing I have learned from the backlash against the crusades comments is that Christians don't like to be reminded of all the shitty things they have done throughout history. I remember taking a history of the church class in HS and I was basically done with all of that noise. Christians have been both…

someone said something to me with a historical basis, but i didn't like it, so rape.

Bless you for this post Gaysian. I have worked with children with autism for 15 years and I can tell you with utter sincerity that some of the finest human beings with the most pure souls that I have ever met are those kids. We judge their happiness on what we think makes us, or should make us happy, instead of…
