You're disgusting. See yourself out.

Ugh. Obviously it is a wonderful thing that this woman wasn't actually raped but for fuck's sake can't people use a different outlet to get attention? The people who make false accusations are a tiny tiny percentage of those who are actually assaulted and yet this shit is all people will reference.

It really doesn't take such blatant things to mess up a kid's self image. Being around a mom who makes a point of calling attention to smallness (she's been pretty open about suffering from eating disorders), especially in the context of comparing her size to the child, can really skew how kids see themselves. I've

Compulsive liars freak me out so much, but they are so fascinating!

I'm reading just to see if I can spot myself.

It was a green hunt- with a DART GUN, to stun the animals so they could do testing to HELP THE ANIMALS. Does no one know how to check their facts?

why don't people get this angry about defense spending? or government contracts? don't they see the obvious prejudice they are espousing?

I'm sorry BebeLush, but I really feel compelled to disagree with this type of comment. I can't stand this girl for a lot of reasons. She absolutely makes me sick to my stomach. Her actions are indefensible. But no woman (or man!!!!), no matter their political, social or religious views deserves to have people calling

THIS! The same argument is why I get so pissed when people complain about the food that SNAP recipients spend their funds on. "I don't even get to eat steak, but here's someone with food stamps eating like a king." When you're SO poor, when literally every dollar you make in your shitty job goes right back out the

It's a matter of perspective. I read the same paragraph (It's not easy. To qualify, you must be pregnant or up to six months postpartum....) and read it as her trying to educate the reader that's it's not so simple as walking in and saying "give me stuff". This article was addressed to people that haven't been on

And this is why the sanctimonious attachment parents who hue and cry about the damage of cry-it-out can eat my shorts. What can be worse for a baby than being in the back seat of a car with a completely sleep-deprived mom or dad at the wheel? How is a parent supposed to provide the appropriate amount of love and

The Mercedes is for me an example of the Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness, as explained by Terry Pratchett:

This study supports my belief that the windchimes should be banned outright and loud motorcycles should only be allowed on the streets between the hours of 10am and 8pm (if at all).

The Venn diagram here is problematic if you really want an accurate portrayal of poverty. The circles of 'people experiencing poverty' and 'people given a voice by the media' do not intersect often.

It is bullshit that Tatiana Maslany is not in this category. BULLSHIT I tell you!

They will have to introduce District 13, so maybe characters will get more fully drawn than they were in the novels. The last book was quite rushed and had so many set pieces that it's certainly conceivable as two movies.

"I am going nerd up and admit I absolutely loved Catching Fire and cannot wait to see this new movie."

I get that you're coming from a good place, but the idea of limiting what the media should or shouldn't cover gives me creepy censorship vibes. Also, I think it's a really good idea to cover police actions like this because then they have to be accountable for what they do. They idea of chasing off media cameras when

Are we reading the same comments? Did you miss where people are flipping out that they've threatened to use viagra to get him erect for more photos? (Just typing that makes me taste bile, ugh.) Did you miss the comments on how this is basically state sanctioned sexual assault? There are some milder "this is BS"
