People feel compelled to bend over backwards because of people like you who are so hypersensitive about not APPEARING to be racist, that they actually ignore the real, legitimate issues of race in this case. It's not about the kid's melanin levels. It's not about the parents not loving their kid as much. It's about…

Does Dongitol come with a free pair of outdoor bathtubs, though?

Waaaaaaait a minute. I can get a PRESCRIPTION?????

Frankly, even if it was a bottle in his pocket, if he's close enough that it's rubbing against someone repeatedly, that's still inappropriate. Keep your groin away from your patients.

Bottle fed.

YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE DRIBBLE!

NIU, you're being so weird. I have taken both undergrad and graduate-level courses that required participation in social media (hilariously, at the grad level it was Pinterest). This reminds me of 'back in the day' when teachers would prohibit using any online sources. Can you imagine that now? Of course traditional…

As long as I can still pirate shit on the intranet, I'm okay with this.

Or worse, a minimum wage job at a "friendly" company that wants to help your "reintegration into society" by exploiting you for labor while taking a tax break for being nice enough to employ an ex-con. Hello Whole Foods, IKEA, and Target!

It's like the same sort of fucked up racism as 'missing white women syndrome'.

Yup. For some reason we're all supposed to think that a pretty white woman in jail is like a purebred mini poodle at the dog shelter.

Maybe "on edge" is where we should all be. You are bang on.

I think that's an incredibly fair assessment.

" Nobody gives a shit about your' Bong(er) "

You have a really skewed concept of passive aggressive bullshit if you think that. He was checking on her, which was his responsibility as a driver who almost caused an accident, and he was recording it for the sake of possible liability issues. Nearly every insurance company and police tip sheet I have ever read…

I was rear ended at a stop light by a dude going 40 miles an hour. He totaled my car. I got out and exchanged insurance information with him. I didn't go on a racist tirade & threaten to kill him because I am not, in fact, clinically insane.
