That is the issue. But because no one has time to parent adults who make poor choices, my advice is for people not to partner with others who have obvious signs that commitment isn’t on the menu UNLESS they are COOL with that.

The vast majority of people are not saying “I told you so” or faulting Ciara.

YO. then also read what i said. nowhere did i say that partner selection isn’t crucial. nowhere. trust me, i get it. after choosing a man to get engaged to and then that man cheated on me and ended it, i get it. the man i chose after him is not, at his core, like my ex-fiance. thankfully, my ex and i had no children…

Eh, the big difference there is that single moms with children with different fathers are usually the ones raising those kids. Not so with men with multiple children. I’m with Mo on this. Men with multiple children with multiple mothers are a bad bet for everything expect fertility.

Agreed. I don’t want kids, but while I wouldn’t mind if someone I was seeing already had a couple kids, I WOULD mind if he weren’t an active part of their lives or otherwise obviously living it up while someone else is stuck raising his children. That shit ain’t cool. How can you respect someone who walks out on their…

I feel you Mo. I have no idea why people think you are blaming her. All you are saying is if dude has many kids with many women...don’t be surprised if you aren’t the one that changes him. It is cool if you like that sort of thing, but if you are actually looking for a family you might want to stay away from this…

Ever time I wonder why the over-the-top hatred for Coldplay exists, I remember the joy I get out of hating Nickelback.

Somewhere in the afterlife their must be a support group for people who did not outlive Keith Richards.

Obviously there should have been more guns lying around where kids can get them. Then maybe this girl would have been able to defend herself.

A glass vase and a gun are not the same. My toddler knows to be careful when I have a vase of flowers. It’s not fool proof, but he is reminded not to throw toys at windows for the same reason: so they don’t get broken.

Hi all — figured replying to myself was the best way to post this. I had a really great time! Much better than I thought... People actually don't suck as hard as I thought :)

I actually think it’s because white American audiences (and the reflective Academy voters) have no direct emotional connection to a movie set in another country *that doesn’t feature a white person’s experience*. They prefers ones like that movie about the tsunami that featured a white family surviving while all…

I don’t think she’s wrong about Beasts of No Nation really. I’ve heard a lot of people outright reject seeing it based on its premise and while Clover’s right that a lot of people see movies about terrible things, the Academy Awards do tend to lean towards uplifting tales about Kings learning to talk good, Nazis…

Yes, this. I heard an interview with him once, and he was a tantruming about the poor reviews he got for a movie, probably Jersey Girl. His response, “I’m a huge star. I could fuck that critic’s wife any time I wanted.” He kept repeating that, too. As if they critic’s wife was an object with no say in this revenge…

There are a LOT of people who really hate Kevin Smith. This requires putting one’s disappointment in Charlotte Rampling’s Academy Awards diversity comment aside, but several years ago he pissed off an entire gender when he bagged on Rampling, who had a recurring role on Dexter that season, for not maintaining the…

Vince Vaughn gives me the heebie jeebies. I feel like I need to scrub myself with sandpaper every time I think of him.

while simultaneously being immensely successful in several fields

I guess I’m a supermodel. I’ve been fighting a cold for the last month.

And that was with Vince Vaughn. Who CLEARLY ranks below Chris Pine and Tom Hardy.
