It should also be mentioned that after 28 years of marriage to her ex- husband, she couldn't remember what university he went to. All she knew was it wasn't Princeton. She sure could remember what sororities she pledged though. All 11 of them, in total detail. Clearly we should take marital advice from this…

I'm a teacher, and every year, I have a student refuse to stand and say the pledge. All I ask of them is that they write me a handwritten, one page explanation of why they are choosing to do so. It's an exercise in freedom. When they actually care, they write it. If they were just tired and being lazy, they do…

Some people forget how much Freedom the soldiers harvest for us. When they head off to foreign nations that have no means to attack us or change our laws, they're actually harvesting massive quantities of Freedom which we all need to thank them for, every day actually. The giant tanker ships full of Freedom come at…

Exactly. Our soldiers arent dying on foreign shores so this kid can stand up and recite some indoctrination.

RAGE. (I'm Native, and I'm from Oklahoma, and that state is full of ignorant dicks like that)

Dear Mother: You performed the basic tasks of feeding, clothing, and making sure I got to school adequately. The police were never called on you. Congratulations. Here's your fucking card. Please don't call me again until your birthday.

I had a roommate my senior year in college (someone I'd chosen to live with, no less—I had no idea how crazy she was before moving in with her) whose entire goal in life was to busier and more put upon than anyone else in the world. This was terribly difficult for her living with me, because I was overloading on…

The one about the parent hating their son could have been written by my father. He was so hell-bent on not having a girl, he made my mother have an abortion. Twice. When she found out she was having me, she hid my gender until the day I was born hoping he'd come around. He didn't.

Mother's Day is always hard for me. The cards that say "you were always there for me!" "you always knew what to say" "you always had time for me". Not my reality. Instead I get my mom a funny card. I love her, but she was a shitty, self-centered mother.

I get it and I agree that lots of men (most men?) who claim not to watch porn are probably lying. But I do know some very earnest, strongly feminist men who claim to have arrived at the decision that porn is damaging to their sexuality and relationships, so they don't partake. I don't doubt them, it's not my place to.

My parents separated when I was 8. My mom moved out, leaving me with my dad. She got an apartment and set about...inventing a fake boyfriend. See, she left my dad for a coworker, and everyone and their dog knew she had been having an affair. They weren't subtle. Even I had picked up on the whispers and I was in…

It's not just that it's not a specific photo of one of them missing girls, and not only that it wasn't correctly attributed. It's that they took a photo that was intended to show the joy and resilience of women in another country, PHOTOSHOPPED IN A TEAR, and made it represent something completely different. Not to…

Anything that comes out of a cat is apparently food.

"Actively critical" as in you went around and found people to criticize for light reading for fun? I find that rather odd and unnecessary. Why bother?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK every single dipshit who dismissed the word of podiatrists and physical therapists the world over, preached the benefits of these things like they weren't the victims of a successful marketing scam and thought they'd just somehow stumbled onto the…

"I was actively critical of my then high school and college peers for wasting their reading level on books written for children."

What about Sirius?! I was crushed for years after reading the end of that book.

But seriously she could have saved an entire character. And the obvious choice is Fred Weasley.

It bothers me how people all hail Clinton as such a nice guy and great President but still say Lewinsky's name with a sneer.

Actually, no. It doesn't fall between those things, because that guy's behavior, and the fact that you cannot be bothered to see the situation from any angle but your own, is indicative of a problem.
