You do realize that social issues are far more complex than poverty, don't you? Have you considered the other myriad of issues like disabilities ranging from the mild to the extreme? Imagine how much it would cost to care for just one person and multiply it by thousands. Charity is not going to cover every social and…

My high school years occurred during the late 90s and early 2000s, so I rocked the wob for purely practical reasons as my hair is a crazy mix of curly/wavy/oddly straight in some places. Overloading on hair gel and mousse may have been sticky and crunchy with too much headache-inducing scent going on, but at the time…

Oh, no doubt - I've seen a lot of comments here talking about both systems in an impartial way and saying that both have their flaws (actually, I'm sure that all countries do).

Fucking hell! Getting equal pay is not being treated as a 'special class of citizen' - its being treated as an equal class!

I don't know if you're familiar with the Lindy Chamberlain case - commonly referred to as 'dingo ate my baby', but in high school we watched a movie called Evil Angels (or A Cry in the Dark depending on which country you're in) starring Meryl Streep as Lindy, and it really focused on the dangers of trial by media and…

I'm honestly not trying to pit the American justice system against the Italian one (I'm neither American nor Italian if that helps determine my impartiality in this discussion*), but prosecutors in the West Memphis 3 trial used the whole 'satanic ritual' argument and even called in an 'expert' who claimed he could…

Just because Western countries don't execute gay people does not mean that we excuse homophobia and homophobic laws. It can be really dangerous to hold certain Middle Eastern and African countries as some kind of threshold for human rights that as long as a country doesn't practice execution or public flogging then…

'It's actually just Shawn Crahan from Slipknot'

I'll tell you what I do judge politicians on - having affairs when they go around talking about 'family values' which is (their) speak for 'married heterosexual Christian couple with 2.5 children'.

Its certainly true that its not a novel concept but I think the OP was pointing it out while still recognizing how horrific the crime was. I also think its still worth looking at and discussing since it continues to happen.

I'm loving cobalt blue at the moment! And I've been really into navy tones for the past year and now I'm delving into an orange obsession haha.

A balance is definitely the key. I still like wide belts but not the super wide ones (on me, they can look really good on other women). And too thin can be a little flimsy with certain outfits. It totally depends on what you're wearing and as you said - the looseness or tightness of an outfit.

I think its actually quite valid. Susan Smith claimed that she had been carjacked by a black man who drove off with her sons in the back seat when she had actually drowned them:

Definitely would have worked better as a full dress with a belt.

Kim Kardashian and I have a similar issue in that we both have a short waist. While I do like the current crop top trend, a limited number of crop tops are suited to the short waist (as well as wide hip) body type which also depends on what skirt/shorts/pants you pair it with. I think cutting that Dior dress the way…

Wow - thank you so much! Yeah, the Kotaku one really took it out of me! It's quite apparent that the person on the Kotaku thread was semi-trolling on top of being genuinely anti-feminist based on the way they kept going around in circles and nitpicking on words irrelevant to the discussion, but I'm way too stubborn to…

Okay, I promised myself that whatever your response, I was done with you. I’m not going to address the majority of the stuff you wrote because you really are an exhausting person to deal with. But there is one thing that I will not let go because you deliberately highlighted the part that would suit your need to…

I never said that all women are feminists. You stated that in a relationship, you like to be the one to kill the spiders and change the flat tires and see your girlfriend all dressed up.

I’m going to attempt to address as many of your comments/answer as many of your questions as I can and then I’m done because it is exhausting going around in circles with you.
