You chose the perfect avatar for this post. I can't not read it in Sideshow Bob's voice.

As a child who was beaten, I wish there had been photos taken of me as proof. I have had many people in my life (close family and friends) who disbelieved what had happened to me because my dad seemed like such a "good guy". I think it needs to been shown what people do to their kids. His face isn't shown, he is…

I don't understand people complaining about this. Images of starving children with their faces showing are used all the time to compel people to donate to programs. They choose to use them because actually seeing a starving child, who's skeletal structure is visible, is much more moving than reading about one.

I disagree completely. There is nothing identifiable about the child in this picture and I wouldn't put it here if there was, trust me. But showing this photo adds a very powerful visual element to this story that hammers home the severity of the situation that words just would not be able to do. I say that as someone…

"Vindictive and mean spirited?" To factually recall an experience they had where they don't use the names of anyone involved? It's completely harmless.

you should've whipped out a calculator and done the math right then and there explaining each step of the way

If you don't have your shoes on, you are NOT ready!!!!!!!!*

But if you don't look both ways before crossing the street, and I hit you with my car, IT IS STILL MY FAULT. Whether or not it could have been avoided by you taking other precautions is more or less irrelevant since I HIT YOU WITH MY CAR.

I don't think that's sad at all. I hope these bigoted organizations continue to drive people away until they evaporate into nothing.

Confession time: when I was in high school, I called myself a masculinist, and thought that I was the smartest dude in the world for coming up with that. I reasoned that there are significant and serious issues facing men, and the women that fight for women are called feminists, and so we'd need a similar term for…

if you payed me 500,000 i would go to a dumb party with you. seems like an easy decision to me

Now now. Salsa is fantastic on eggs (as is sriracha) but sometimes nothing but ketchup will do.

Is it bad that I don't consider this that strange?

i adore ketchup, so clearly then, she is my soulmate and we must meet and create

He's a dual citizen, actually. But Canadian bred.

Her narrative is her narrative. It doesn't have to be most people's narrative.

I molded tin foil into "space clothes" for my Barbie and she explored alien planets. Johnny West piloted the ship, but stayed inside for the most part.

I was too young when I learned about the Holocaust. I shaved all my Barbies and placed them on a cookie sheet, just as my mother was walking into the kitchen. I can't imagine the look on her face when she learned that her little girl was "playing Shoah."

My Kens were subjected to left-leg amputation as soon as they…

I was a competitive figure skater for fifteen years. I competed under the new International Judging System fairly extensively. I cannot, for the life of me, tell you why Kim Yu-Na was not at the top of the podium. There is literally no reason. Sotnikova did not become a better skater overnight, and every justification…

LOLOLOL "even". Because an evangelical college - wherein their own doctrine basically teaches women are possessions and property - SHOCKINGLY has a sexual assault problem.
