How dare you question whether green intolerance is real? I used to eat green all the time, and I was always getting sick! But once I went on a green-free diet, I never felt better!

Or don't eat gmos, because autism.

you mean like local church organisations can be powerful in communities in the american south? and how they like to use that power to cover up sexual violence against women and children all the time?

Thank you. I’m not even Indian, but I’m well familiar with the Jez commentariat’s general xenophobia when discussing atrocities in other parts of the world. And yet you never hear them going “UGH, AMERICAN CULTURE, SO BACKWARDS AND EVIL” about any of the horrendous sex crimes this site reports on from the U.S.

And in…

But they aren’t sanctioned courts, even if locally they have the power to get away with it. Groups of white folks have been raping, torturing, and killing black folks in this country for centuries. It was still happening regularly and semi-officially in some American communities as recently as fifty years ago.

It’s all part of this effort to make words normative. To tell language how it’s supposed to behave, instead of just observing it and reporting on it. This slang already had a definition, but instead of learning what it was, uneasy white folk needed to make a new one. To control words, lest words control us.

As a Type 1 Diabetic who occasionally forgets that I, ME, MOST IMPORTANT ON MY LIST OF WHO’S FUCKING IMPORTANT, am a diabetic, I think Frazzled Mom of Tornado Children deserves a little fucking slack.

From the description, she was pretty clearly desperately exhausted and stressed out, and also suffering from a panic disorder, thus the shaking and crying and Xanax. Sleep deprivation will fuck you up as bad as alcohol, and in America nobody cares if a single mom with panic attacks has to work 60+ hours to support her…

You know what the appropriate response is when a server asks to bus your table but you don’t want them to?

How dare the server ask to take that empty plate away! It was his. He had it monogrammed to make a complete set of tableware.

It’s not enough to have:
The Howard degree in Africana Studies...
Her copies of Essence Magazine...
Her FB updates about “12 Years A Slave”...
No. It’s, “Not only do I know your hair texture scales, I’m the kinkiest.”

SHE SAID HER HAIR WAS A 4?

Forget the ridiculous third reason for a moment. Why do there seem to be so many otherwise intelligent people who don’t seem to understand that the vast majority of the time it’s not appropriate to act on your sexual impulses? Literally everyday of the week I work with and walk by women that I am attracted to,…

Jesus is a biscuit!

But did she have a good day, sir?

Honestly, I consider this behavior stealing. Consistently trying to force a restaurant to comp you meals is really shady.

I agree with Seinfeld and I don’t. None of of my favorite comedians or comedies could be considered totally P.C., and I think it’s very hard to be truly funny when you’re unwilling to take risks that might shock or offend someone. And I also agree that there’s a certain type of thinking that responds to politically…

For what it’s worth, I got out of ticket when the officer never submitted a supporting deposition. Most of the time, this is included in the ticket, but in this case, the officer either forgot or assumed it was included but it wasn’t. I requested one when I plead not guilty, never received one, presented that in…

That's actually closer to the original Irish spelling than any version with a K.

Omg! This is me!!! Thanks so much for spelling my name correctly.
