Now, I want a GOT 80s Hair Band. A member could be gotten from every house and then play the Iron Prom. Dance battles, and disputes all worked out over some wicked punch.

Hey, why aren't the people who raise hell about minority actors playing white characters because it's "not true to the source material" not as upset in this instance where the "slight" is going in the reverse?

Good thing he's spent so much time trying to be reasonable with them, despite the fact that they came right out and said they wanted to make sure he never got anything through congress.

If all we do is make excuses for him there is little hope of getting better out of him and our very creaky, much abused system. It's not all his fault, but because Obama happens to be the president is an abysmal reason to let this all slide. If we do not demand better we won't get it.

Why?! So they can just fill these extra toilets full of tampons?! May as well have them get menstrual blood all over the Amurrican flag! They're taking out jobs and our bathrooms!! This is an outrage!

Hiya - So I'm from India (though I've lived in London and travelled extensively in Europe and visited the US once) and I agree with the point you're making about Indian women facing extensive harassment, but I wanted to add a few nuances because a lot of the discourse surrounding India's treatment of women misses a…

There are 600 million men in India. There are less gang rapes in Indian than there are in America. Also, that's just what we look like. Sorry for being fug.
