Christianity is a death cult. And if not kept in check it can become a violent death cult.

I'm so angry, I don't know where to begin.

Nice to see that the good old practice of killing women for religious reasons is still going strong in the world, I was kinda worried we would only have to be scared of secular crazy people.

I cannot imagine, to any degree, what it feels to not feel what you're told you are. All my life struggles (real ones that exist, yes) are confined to problems with life, death, and the shock of death (at ages and familial connections where it is genuinely disruptive to "normal" life) that are still "relatively" (and…

I loved the book. Jonathan Tropper is a great writer. Fortunately he also wrote the screenplay, and I think casting Bateman as Judd was a great move. I'm hoping for good things.

Best way ever to describe Caribou Coffee.

the ideology behind the mindset of the nice guy movement is so transparently pathetic that you feel the most compassionate thing you could ever do for one of the people who subscribes to it is to punch them in the gut and tell them to wake the Fuck up.

Imagine a campaign to get cars to look twice for motorcycles before changing lanes. What if a car driver got upset by that and said "NOT ALL CARS HIT MOTORCYCLES!!!1!" Like, duh, but it's still an important message, and your reaction makes absolutely no sense.

'Why does your husband need to go to the club right now?'"

SO true. I definitely had times when I was younger where I let peer pressure lead me away from relationships that probably would've been fulfilling purely because of societal expectations and fears. Of all the mistakes I've made in my life, those are the ones I'm most ashamed of.

He actually confronted that bit on his own show. It leads to a pretty interesting discussion.

Yeah, I don't think this is commentary on forcing yourself to be attracted to someone who you're not attracted to. It's about letting societal pressure bully you out of being attracted to someone who you ARE attracted to.

No wonder he was so good in american hustle, he was being himself. Man looks good, but as the old saying goes never judge a book by it's cover.

Obligatory! ETA: totally irrelevant, but I love it.

Seems like a few people would happier if they'd just waited a few years longer. Now that I'm in my 30s, I see people having kids and they seem much more on board with the idea than when they were in their 20s.

I occasionally think about whether I should try to have children before it's too late (37 on Monday), then I read stuff like this and I'm all NOPE.

I'll probably get flamed to death over this, but I really don't think fraternities and sororities are the devil as people here seem to think. People act like Greek life is the only thing causing rape on campus. The fact is, the same guys in frats will still get together and have parties and potentially roofie girls.…

Please. Just look at any poll ever and you will see it. Also, it is not surprising that the people who benefit from the patriarchy want to maintain the patriarchy. It is purely logical.

Down Syndrome makes me uncomfortable, I'll admit. Mostly because it brings about these horrible feelings and thoughts. I'll share them because my comment is unlikely to be seen. I think in the future (think 100 years from now) we'll have reached a consensus and realize that no matter what happy feelings or feelings of…

It's a lovely video, and, as a person with a family member with Down Syndrome, I can attest that people with it can live a good life. But, it is completely disingenuous to brush aside the very wide range of abnormalities that come with the syndrome and pretend that it's not that big of a deal. It is a big deal. For…
