Oh thank you! I love a good false equivalency! Are you kidding? This a forum for debate and discussion and sometimes that discussion gets heated. If you're going to leave ridiculous, rude comments directed at writers or your fellow commenters, you probably are going to have to face some blowback. Them's the breaks! I…

A girlfriend of mine was involved in a terrible car accident that could have claimed her life. Instead, she walked away with only a few scratches. In talking about it, she confessed to feeling deep shame that her first thought after getting out of her car was that her beloved convertible was a write-off.

Geez; calm down, junior.

Although we did do a henna crown for a patient with brain cancer after her surgery :)

Sheesh woman, that's terrible for you and your family :(. It's not weird to think about losing something you identify with so closely. I will sound completely selfish and dumb when I say that the thought of cutting my hair off (or worse, going to a salon and having 5 inches taken off instead of 2) drives me nuts. In…

Yes! I found I could no longer stomach the show but I continued to read and relish Julie's recaps. All hail DJ Soft Batch!

Why doesn't Mara Wilson ever recommend my Jezebel comments?

It's not that he's male and shirtless. It's that he's male, shirtless, above the age of consent, and appearing in a photograph lounging on a bed with a 13 year old girl. Not only is your post hyperbolic, it's disingenuous.

This doesn't have anything to do with the age of consent (which is already 17 in most states, including Texas, and 16 in some others). This has to do with teachers breaking the law and abusing positions of power.

I teach high school and every time I see stories like this I just... are you fucking kidding me?!

I neither need nor accept a lecture on the sanctity of life from somebody who revels in the virtues of gun ownership.
