Where's the hunger for justice for the hundreds of black kids who are murdered every year across the country? Gang bangers, peripheral gang bangers, kids who have nothing to do with gangs, kids who are killed sitting on their porches, kids who are killed lying in their beds—no black kids is safe anywhere in this…

Are these guys porn "stars" or are they porn "actors"? 'Cause I'm experiencing zero name recognition right now and seeing zero star quality.

That sounds rational except for the fact that dabbing paper—even soft toilet paper—on the tip of the penis can be excruciatingly uncomfortable. Think of nails screeching across a blackboard except, rather than sound, it's a sensation. Just the thought of it makes me cross my legs and kind of cringe a little.

"Racist" is a catch-all dismissal for any statement about culture that makes a bourgeois lefty feel uncomfortable. And in fairness, J.C.O. isn't exactly being crystal clear which makes her comments feel underhanded in the way that polite racists often are, but that's not racism. Questioning the values of a religion…

Strident, outlandish antics by an individual often indicate a break with reality; I'd say the same is true for organizations. PETA's executive board is composed of a grand total of 3 people: 2 long-term insiders plus the group's dogmatic founder, Ingrid Newkirk (who, if the New Yorker's 2004 biography is to be…

In the early 1860s most people never bathed more than once a week, if that, and didn't wear deodorant, and wore layers of clothes on hot days. So I have a feeling soldiers were only marginally more smelly than civilians. That said, reenactors who can't go three lousy days without bathing or (gag) using baby wipes have…

Goats are extremely cute, but wicked and devious as well. I was traumatized as a child by watching a baby sitter's delight turn to horror as a gaggle (bevy? flock?) of our baby goats surrounded her and began devouring her elegant, waist-length ironed hair. She escaped—hair intact—but I learned to never turn my back…

I think directness is best, if for no other reason than it lets you vocalize your own tensions and, hopefully, relieve them and move on. Though, they way she described this woman—coarse, crass, meddling, and insensitive—I glad that she doesn't seem to be planning on getting any apologies in return. I once expressed…

Am I the only one who sees a young Sally Struthers underneath all that mascara?

I'm all for it! Why should gay people be the only ones whose private sex lives are legislated and judged and degraded by puritanical public officials?—let everybody else see what it's like. In fact, I will gladly volunteer to perform Virginia's first citizen's arrest of a heterosexual, married, Republican couple for…

Normally I'm offended by the idea of expropriating the wealth of top wage earners and forcing them to work in sugar cane fields, but sometimes I'm not so sure....

Yet, some of this "purity" crap seems based in legitimate concerns about the sexualization of young girls (I'm thinking of "sexy" Halloween costumes, cleavage-baring Disney characters, and a host of other creepy innovations of the past decade or so). While I agree 100% with your statement, this issue makes me want to…

Meanwhile all the gays on the team are now experiencing total immersion in impure thoughts. Thanks, Coach!

I think the Vice piece was offensive because it was both poorly executed and in poor taste. Even if the images had been well crafted—which they weren't—I simply can't imagine a tasteful way to discuss suicide in the context of a fashion spread...

If you ever go out in public YOU ARE TOUCHING FECES. There's no escape. Even in a world filled with earnest, diligent little 20 second handwashers, poop is everywhere: on door knobs, movie theater seats, floors, etc. And not only do you regularly come into contact with other people's poop, you bring it back into your…

Yeah, if you're pushing an anti-gay agenda, you should be forcibly outed and publicly shamed. I'm 100% in favor of that. I just hope that he's cute so I can enjoy imagining his sex life.

Ok, so let's say the girl got drunk with a bunch of boys and then cut off their testicles with scissors —NOT ON PURPOSE, mind you, but, you know, like one of those stupid things that girls sometimes do when they're drunk. Then would the situation be so ambiguous? It wouldn't be castration-castration, like when a…

Juvenile, crude, and tacky. What's next—famous rapes as fashion spreads? —Not that I want to give the brilliant and creative staff at Vice any bright ideas...

The item in the "Smartphone Psychology Manifesto" should be YOU CAN'T UNTWEET.

Marrying a woman in a cynical bid to avoid extradition for a murder charge? A-OK with the church and the state. Marrying another man you're in love with? Well, no so easy.....
