That's why it's awesome living in a country where the corporations are the government! None of that pesky living wage legislation! Yay.

How do I somehow understand Courtney Stodden but get just shake my head when Miley speaks?

I almost have to coax him out of his walls. But it gets frustrating when I always have to pull information from him even though I have worked so hard to be more thoughtful, and am very open with my insecurities.

This is almost exactly like my relationship except I'm the stonewaller so maybe it will help? I started going to therapy this year to sort out some emotional baggage — both from my upbringing as well as rather irreperable family drama that has forced me to cope with being excommunicated with 65% of my family for an…

Not only do I know the precise character you're describing, I think this reference is fitting...

I can't hear you over all of my slutting about.

Aaaaannndd the world comes full circle because Evan Peters just so happens to look like Harry Styles. *swoooooon*

I know the monogramed LV bags have become super cheesy, but hot damn if I haven't lusted after this bag for years...

I agree with everything you said.

I will absolutely flat out say I do not have an eating disorder. My defense of Maria's statement is only that I truly don't believe she mean't "you have no excuse for not looking like me." Based on her other posts, it seems as though she herself feels happy and fit and her statement was meant more as a, hey, I have…

You don't "starve yourself" to get the look she has. She has muscle, which needs to be fed. You eat right and do lots and lots of proper and varied exercise and training for your body. You can look outwardly fit and healthy and not be anorexic...it is absolutely possible. Also, I'd like to know where you got your…

That's why I love this.

I agree with that. I'm not advocating throwing our hands up and giving in to the entire situation, I'm just saying there may be another, better solution? Forgive me for not understanding just how lax our gun control policies are right now, I should educate myself more as to how easy it is to get ahold of and maintain…

I don't know the solution. I wish I did.

Thanks for the stats. I truly always appreciate gaining more insight. I do think gun laws are valuable, but what I was trying to get across, as you may see in some of my replies to others, is that I don't want to downplay the other factors that often come into play with senseless gun crimes.

Noooooooooo. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying just legalize all guns and give them out with your McD's meal. I'm saying it probably isn't the fix-all that people think it is. I want a focus on other factors that can cause people to resort to crimes like this. I don't even own a gun and don't care to, I just…

Seriously, even my idiot brother thinks you lot are crazy and he keeps a list of who he would shoot first if he got a gun.

We should. It shouldn't be a criminalization issue, it should be a social and medical issue. It would greatly diminish the illegal marketplace, and perhaps we can focus on fixing the issues that prelude a lot of hard drug use. Throwing someone in jail for possessing a substance is doing no good for our social…

Ok. yeah, I guess I didn't think through what I was trying to say well enough. Zimmerman should not have his gun back. I just don't know how gun laws will cut down on gang violence, which most shootings in Chicago are. I really don't think they follow the rules.
