I believe it's spelled "Amuricah".

So, because the president spoke truthfully about race (only white people are allowed to do that, and approved Black conservatives when they are giving Blacks a tongue-lashing for not acting the way they should) he is playing the race card? No. Bullshit. Palin didn't need to know anything that he actually said to…

This is pretty much my reaction every time Palin opens her mouth. She's consistent, if nothing else.

Today would have been the sixth anniversary of Sarah Palin being sworn in as Vice President. I guess being a random, bitter facebook poster like millions of other people is the next best thing. Happy Anniversary Sarah!!!

Thanks for helping me decide whether or not to start drinking at 4pm on a Monday.

tl;dr, Sarah Palin has 51 cards at her disposal but the one card she doesn't hold is unfair to play.

That is not how caste works in India (or anywhere). You can be from a "low" caste and be very rich, like the dalit (untouchable) Indian diplomat busted for not paying her housekeeper in New York. Or you can be a Brahman and be homeless on the street. The way caste is spoken about in English is basically nonsense.

Speaking as someone who didn't want to be molested and wasn't "passed up" she can go die in a fire.

"do you take this man to be your lawful wedded rapist?"

This ad is wrong on two counts: that the girl is white, and that she is smiling near a picture of pizza.

This is actually quite sad.

The lingam is also a sacred object used in lots of (particularly) South Indian Hindu religious rituals.

"I know the jewelry store's door was locked, and I know the alarm went off when I broke the window, and I heard it going off the entire time I was taking the jewelry, but I didn't think they were serious."

Wow. This was a really mean-spirited piece.

I think maybe next time, simply be more careful about how you word things? I cannot have children, but I do have nieces, nephews, and god-children who I think of as my own, so stories like this hit me in the gut and haunt me, despite not having - and never being able to have - a biological child of my own.

It *does*…

Sorry, the fact that you have children does not give you greater empathic abilities than those without children.

Right? I understand the sentiment that it hits closer to home if you have a kid, but I have little nieces and nephews that if I lost any of them to something like this I would feel like a part of my soul died with them. Does everyone feel like this about their nieces/nephews? Maybe not, but personally since I've…

YES! Some women can't have children, some don't want to, and others just haven't yet. This doesn't make any of them any less sympathetic to this fucked up situation.

Personally I find it troubling that some people can't feel genuine love and empathy for children unless they're their own.

you don't need to have kids to have real, deep, human compassion and empathy.
