Exactly. What happened to the idea that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? I'm only going to try to participate in the things I think are pretty or fun. I've done the Mexican Hat dance at just about every cinco de Mayo celebration and Mexican Independence day celebration our school had, and I'm not Mexican.…

Also a function of world wars. The ideas, music, methods of artistic expression, countless wonderful things that American soldiers brought back with them from the wars and that greatly enriched their lives and ours ... are people trying to say that all this was a matter of them saying, "Oh, this is nice. Let's take…

So what? Are people from one ethnic background forbidden from enjoying artifacts from cultures nowhere in their immediate lineage? Someone go tell all those little Asian kids being forced to take violin lessons — I'm sure they'll be thrilled to get their Saturday mornings back, although their parents might be kind…

People keep using the phrase "cultural appropriation" when it really doesn't apply. Cultural appropriation is not "person with ancestry from one part of the world wears/plays/sings/paints/likes things that are worn/played/sung/painted/liked by people with ancestors from another part of the world." That's just a…

So I bought some of these because they were on super sale at Target and I had friends coming into town for a weekend. I had to choose between the "Tribal", "Love", and "Standard" (or something) pack. I chose the standard one because it was things like chains and stripes and stars. I'm sure tons of Cochella…

Why?

I swear to god, "cultural appropriation" is just a new way of saying "I don't like what you're doing so I'll find a way of hating on it that makes me look good, too."

Totally agree, Squints. I really think this whole idea of cultural appropriation is just bizarre. We did all kinds of things in the 70's as a kid and it always done with nothing but respect and a desire to be in another cultures shoes (or jewelry, or turban) for a bit. It helped bridge the gap between Us and Them. How…

You're upset because the fake jewelry looks like real jewelry that people wear in other parts of the world? Who the hell cares? It's all just decorative.

As long as both parties are cool with it, I see no problem.

I think it's because 2/3 of Alzheimer's patients are women, maybe?

It takes years to master, and though it does have its rewards, the reward I seek is not a hot dog. Moose does tricks; I memorize lines, say words, even walk around and stuff. But I don't need a trainer standing off-camera, gesticulating wildly and waving around a piece of meat, to know where I'm supposed to look.

Do you realize how ridiculous this column is? We have to compare her to men, because there has never been a female fighting circuit that anyone has paid attention to on this level. Just like Lebron has to deal with MJ comparisons, she will have to deal with comparisons, and lacking any females to use as benchmarks,…

"INTERNET CODE TALK. WHAT ARE YOUR KIDS SAYING?"

Does this dopey looking fucker really think he's going to be president?

Death holds no bar to the Ess Jay Double-yew Agenda. Bringing her back, irregardless of how wicked sweet her costume is, is a blatant grab for the Feminazi audience and more invasion of our Safe Male Spaces.

Why is it that every news or blog story today has to go to Twitter to see what the internet's racist, dumb tweens think? I just feel like these are most always the very worst, ill-informed opinions out there rather than the norm.

Comment Redacted because I can't read.

i personally feel that one mesh shirt is an excessive amount of mesh shirts. two is outrageous.
