It's so hypocritical that all the anti-Christian writing and hand-wringing on Gawker Media sites is considered wonderful and hilarious, but anything anti-Muslim is Islamophobic. Why is nothing ever Christianophobic?

This family is so much more ethical and clean than the Khardashians or any of those gross Real Housewives clans.
Generation X is not high strung. We invented snark. We own it, and lend it out to you Millenials on occasion where you never get it quite right. It's a Dave thing, a novel thing, a newspaper under the boom box on the Jersey Shore thing. It's an it is what it is thing. And even though we've created some of the best…
No, you're right. But damn, money gives some people the ability to be so bizarre.
You either donate as much time as your family needs you in order to excel, or you donate as much time as your career needs you in order to excel. It is one, or it is the other. It is not both. Never both. I've learned this the hard way, from different sides. In a sense it is tragic. We bring it on ourselves, but it is…
He should give all his money away to good causes. He'd be much less of an asshole and he'd be helping out those in need instead of just exploiting third-world fabric workers for his third-rate orgasms and weird fantasies.
Tell him he needs to find somewhere else to live as soon as possible. The living together thing is not working. Tell him you two need a break, too, he just needs to get his life together without you right now. If he refuses to leave, then you need to leave and go live somewhere safe and warm, depending on your money…
I'm a guy and I will tell you that you need to make this break-up final. He calls you Horrible names, wants you to feel worse about who you are, about your personality, your character, your character, your inner core—notice that's what he goes for in an argument, not what the actual argument is about. He may never…
Call your mom's friends. Be kind and respectful of your mom and explain how hard it is for her to reach out, and all of them to keep your mom in their lives during this crisis. They need to reach out to her. If they are true friends, they will. And ask them all to tell your mom to seek professional help ASAP. No one…
The answer is "none of the above." Limited choice responses are not valid when asking a reader to decode the meaning of a poem. The meaning of a poem, painting, piece of music, work of fiction, dance or sculpture rests with the relationship between the text itself and the reader/viewer of that text. The artist and all…
Yes, beloved loved alma mater—that would be the good, old University of Pittsburgh—played in that thing last year. I think they may have even won it. Didn't do Jack Shit for them this year, as they are now only one day from their patented First Round Swoon to a Lower Seed and get beat by Witchita State. Good luck to…
I like to think Jesus Christ would be recruited at a higher level than Iowa State. Anyone who can walk on water and raise the dead (which would argue for him going to Grambling), almost certainly be a one-and-done, blue-chip prospect. Possibly a Georgetown kid?
I hope so, and good for you. The best way to stop drinking is to grow up with alcoholic parents and other relatives. Thank you. I just get so worried about her growing up in this crazy world. All these other commenters are scaring me!
I've never heard of Beth Ditto. She seems like a typical drunk asshole out on amateur night. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are free to give away all their money, stop doing movies and move to Madison, Wisconsin. Within a year or two they'll be forgotten trivia answers. Those poor dears.
I don't think she will ever drink alcohol. She has a genetic pre-disposition to alcoholism. She's seen the damage alcohol can do in her extended family. I never drank, none of my friends did, either. We were messed up enough without adding fuel to our recklessness. Anyway, my son and his friends didn't drink. So, yes,…
Yes, too bad every mother of sons doesn't have the same expectations. This is how I taught my son, as well. Health classes need to get more graphic and precise. But, you are a great mom with high standards for your boys.
That's awful. I guess I'm naive because I don't see it with my group of friends. But, that pisses me off so much that you have to live that way. And, yeah, it makes me ashamed to be a man if you can't even live your basic life without being grabbed. We need to educate men better in society. All I can do is talk to the…
Yes, I have taught him that. We've talked about exactly that. Uncomfortable as hell for old dad here, but a necessary conversation. I told him make sure his friends know all this, too. And, yes, when I was a teacher, I made sure my male students knew all this. I was an English teacher, not a health teacher, but so…
That's a good point. Those boys should have known better. It's disgusting. When I was a teacher, I also talked to my male students about it. Maybe it went in one ear and out the other for most of them, but hopefully even one kid thought about it and changed behavior.
That's just a batshit insane comment. I was a high school teacher for a long time. And I was the newspaper advisor/journalism teacher for many of those years in four different schools. Trust me, my newspaper editors and reporters were not the cool kids of the school. They were more nerdy than the average kid for the…
