Yes, we should all concede to your accepted definitions of public behaviour. Mine, theirs, unacceptable. Yours is the rule of law. Or how we should learn to understand context. Oh, context...it’s amazing how people trot that out when it suits their argument, and when it doesn’t, well, it’s irrelevant. Like here. Oh,…

You hold on to your white privilege and your male privilege when you’re dying at the age of 8, we’re told. It must make dying kind of cushier than the dying of other kids.

That is someone’s child.

Can you explain why you’re not donating every single dollar over your subsistence expenses to those kids in need?

How do you explain all the women who are opposed to abortion rights? According to polls for many years, women and men approve/disapprove of abortion rights at about the same level. Women are NOT more likely to be pro-choice. This is one of those politically-inconvenient facts some women prefer to ignore. [And…

I wonder how this will really play out. What I mean is that I wonder how much it will really do for access, and how much of a budget cut will come along with it (despite tuition not making up a majority of the budget at most public schools). I’m at CUNY (NYC’s public college system) and I’m watching my chair trying to…

I think you’re missing the fucking point. She is a woman who is doing what she can in her own life while making a point. At no time does she say everyone should do what she does.

Your diet sounds so incredibly boring. No oil? No butter? No dairy of any kind? Salmon and chicken almost every day with the same veg? Fuck man, there are way tastier ways to lose weight. You don’t have to eat like that, it just makes it harder because it’s so fucking boring.

I have no problem with the MLK Day tweet. I do have a problem with her ignorance with regards to the history of slavery, and her stupid remark that “all White people are Ben Affleck” with regards to their relationship with the past. White people did not stop immigrating to America during the era of slavery. Is a white…

Kara, I’ll thank you kindly not to report such blatant lies like this:

what’s wrong with the stems?

The labeling “organic” is a scam. They are taking your money for “healthier” food that isnt actually any healthier than the same food at any other store. These people are scamming the anti GMO ninny’s out of their money. Makes me point and laugh.

Nah, I am totally with you on this. It’s pretty fucked up that we feel entitled to know every detail about celebrities, most importantly the bad stuff. The internet is out for blood and we demand every shitty detail, even things people have no control over whatsoever. People are still mad at Cumberbatch. I think at…

As one simple counterpoint, I think some sort of registration system is a good idea. Obviously, this is a professional chef with a legitimate kitchen, but if some family with good intentions tries to do the same good deed and accidentally* gives a bunch of homeless people food poisoning, I think health officials…

Thank you for engaging with my actual comment.

I one hundred percent agree. Pro-ana attitudes are usually authored by anorexics. You can’t suppress the speech of people just because they reflect disordered thinking. If most anorexics were men we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

We are all so fortunate to live where and how we live. I often go to a central american country where most families live on $100 a week or less. I guess this would say that middle class is around $5000. That economy is "tightly controlled".

1) Because a lot of the commenters here are idiots who don't vote or even follow politics at all except when they can get super angry about something irrationally?

There's no way diminishing student tuition would allow the college to stay open without admitting new students each year. Cutting income by 1/4 every year would cause the college to be non functional by year 2 would be my guess.

Why talk to a doctor that knows nothing when I can ask the Internet that knows everything?
