Well it really depends. I have had these sorts of conversations with straight friends I am close to because we are all really rowdy. The thing about this sort of question to me is, if you're going to ask it you had better be ready to answer some really intense questions about your own sex life. And there a few…

That person doesn't understand what the First Amendment actually protects. There is such a thing as Publication of Private Facts in most states. Here's a brief write up on it:

In most states, you can be sued for publishing private facts about another person, even if those facts are true. The term "private facts" refers…

I was going to say. There is clean and then there is TV Commercial clean. I live like a divorcee even when coupled and any dude who made the mistake of pouting because I didn't Swiff the china cabinet is going to be single within days. Extremely clean people actually freak me out. Like, I don't entirely believe they…

So, basically:

This exact thing happened to me on the metro in San Francisco. I am White (probably? there's some wiggle room there due to two adoptions, so this conjecture is based on appearances) and actually do speak enough Spanish to understand what he was saying, but actually talking back wasn't something I could have pulled off…

Exactly. It wouldn't be worth anyone's time to prosecute because other than her statement there is nothing to link her to the crime. However if she gets busted in the future, or if she ever gets some kind of child custody battle, her admissions could come back to haunt her, maybe possibly.

I think the acting was terrible but the script/writing is razor sharp.

Wow. I'm sorry that happened. Was it a case of someone trying to be sensitive and it coming out completely wrong, or was she just being nasty?

The single best line I've gotten from a straight person is:

"It's impressive how much you've accomplished despite your disability."

Although she apologized immediately after and it is kind of LOL worthy.

By far most of the nasty things straight people have to say get said before they realize I'm gay. It's incredible the…

I am not a fan of either of them, but on the few occasions I have stumbled over them in the media, the one thing that does seem to stand out about them is that they seem to be in love. Neither of them is going to win a humanitarian award anytime soon but there is something to be said for that.

I have to admit I LOLed at the number of likes the "don't call him a boy" comment got. Throw him in jail without any facts... just make sure you don't call him a boy, because that would be racist! LMAO what a perfect, sad metaphor for the attitudes on this site.

Diet soda is not especially good for you, but it is loads better than regular soda. Congrats on your weight loss.

I once described Upworthy as a Hell House in reverse, because it puts the choice between the path of Heaven or Hell at the start and then ignores your answer.

Children's bed sheets + sew it yourself. Thrift stores are a great source for this sort of pattern.

Well just like I'm not planning to have an abortion (too male and too gay), or have a teen pregnancy (too old and see above), arguments about national policy extend beyond myself and into the realm of what "society in general" is doing. And society in general, while they might be persuaded to trade in sugar for an…

In the sense that the abortion, HIV, and teen pregnancy debates could be ended instantly if people just stopped having sex, absolutely.

Current attitudes about artificial sweeteners reflect a "new understanding" of the chemicals in the same way that Jenny McCarthy reflects a "new understanding" of vaccines. The only good news for consumers is that these chemicals are somewhat more avoidable than vaccines are, and can be avoided if you choose to.

Anyway…

S/he got it by making it up. Welcome to Jezebel, where culturally appropriating a scarf pattern means you're a racist, but railroading a black dude to jail without facts means you're a feminist social justice warrior.

Don't worry. In about 10 hours we'll get another article about Miley Cyrus' dancing or Michelle Williams' pigtails to prove they're not racists, while blatantly trying to railroad a Black guy into jail.

Saints = New Orleans.
