That is so many kinds of fucked up.

Better to pretend to care about her so that she gives you Power of Attorney over all her legal, financial and health matters, then dump her in a shithole and clean out her bank accounts.

What the fuck?

I think US society will have to collapse and re-build itself first. Likely into several different nations. I personally think this is likely to happen, though not in the foreseeable future.

"She isn't a role model, but an example."

It's not her job to be a role model but it sure wouldn't hurt if girls and women followed her example.

You ask the same about any number of cosmetic surgery before-and-afters.

I was just wondering if this stuff even works. So, thanks.

I'd say fame is still only a small part of it. I say that because most mass shooters never get famous (there are a lot more than get covered by the national media, http://shootingtracker.com/wiki/Mass_Shoo…). That said, clearly the mass shooters who *are* widely covered set an example to follow. But then again,…

Is anyone asking the question: why do so many Americans want to shoot up a bunch of people?

Hold up. You MET Brian Moore? Jealous!!!!

True. It's such a mixed bag. Horrific abuse but also true dedication to helping the vulnerable. E.g. in some early resource-based communities (mining, forestry, etc) sometimes the church was the only organization doing anything positive like running a little school or health clinic or trying to stop the prostitution…

Wow. I didn't know that about Stewart or Dylan. Ugh.

I didn't shaft the server. He didn't need to reach across the table for plates (and since when is that a free pass to let them pile up anyway?), and it's already been pointed out that scraping and stacking your own plates at a restaurant is considered crass. What kinds of dumps have you been eating in where that…

Saw it. Horrifying. Fucking evil sick bitches, those nuns.

Nutjobs like Alex Jones and David Icke talk about "elites" who use various child protection networks to gain access to children for all manner of abuses. And they're right. There are SO many examples of public institutions, religious institutions, community leaders, etc using their position to abuse children. It's…

I didn't dismiss any replies, so that's weird. Oh well.

But her bathing suit is just terrible.

Yeah, this has been a weird inadvertent experiment.
