I know this might bring up comments, but I’m going to post anyway. Why is it that some white women (#notallwhitewomen) wholeheartedly believe that being as thin as possible is the ONLY way to be? I’m black and in our culture, curves are celebrated (and yes, health issues are real when people abuse food and end up with

Forgot to take down or just plain don’t give a fuck?

SAD: The fine print reads: “You should probably just kill yourself.”

Oh for fuck’s sake. So basically having the children of the family molested by an older sibling is a big bummer? Well, we hope it won’t happen, but if it does, them’s the breaks and no biggie?

This is awful. Also consistent. This sect views any sexual interaction outside marriage as the same sin, so wanting to take off your clothes with someone you’re dating is the exact same as what Josh did.

Yep, it’s amazing how quickly teenage boys can become blubbering diaper-clad babies in the eyes of the public. To compare a 15-year-old boy preying on a 5-year-old girl to innocent little kids playing doctor is beyond bizarre and, as I have said before, a bit insulting to the average teenage boy.

Well-adjusted 14 year olds do not “play doctor” with younger siblings.

Well, seeing as I might have been (can't confirm but I vaguely remember and it's a running theory for some of my issues) molested by my second cousin while playing doctor, I wouldn’t call it that harmless.

Jessa Duggar’s father-in-law goes on to say that fans shouldn’t be shocked by Josh’s actions — he claims that many people would do the same thing if they didn’t fear the consequences of their behavior.

I actually would never make an argument that the Amish are a cult because Amish people encourage their children to go out and experience the secular world and all of its temptations during "Rumspringa." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumspringa

Teachable moment: Don't ever describe homosexuality as a preference. It is an orientation that is predetermined at birth. Thanks!

So... you used other books than A Beka and Bob Jones books because.... those books are terrible sources for things like history/biology? And you're defending them, why? The author was discussing those books in particular, not the entirety of home-schoolers. Those "cherry-picked" quotes weren't from some side

I don't think you're making a very compelling argument here. Because you didn't fully read your math text doesn't mean that other children won't. Just because you apparently didn't absorb the lies of your history books doesn't mean that these children won't. It's great that you're successful, but it seems that that

Their kids aren't allowed to read anything, interact with anyone, watch anything, or learn anything that is not parentally approved. That is clearly a whole 'nother level of crazy than being raised by fanatic Republicans. Obviously there is some tiny chance that one or two of the kids will get out and grow up into a

Sorry, you lost me at the idea that living in an ultra-religious household that considers homosexuality as worthy of death (yay Biblical morals!) isn't detrimental to the psyche of a gay kid.

I'm one of those people- I grew up in conservative Baptist churches in the south in the Bible Belt and my father is a very conservative Republican. However, I, unlike the Dugger children, also went to public school, had unrestricted access to the internet, read pretty much anything and everything I wanted, and watched

But they are TOTALLY SELF SUFFICIENT, right? And screw all those poor people who actually need public assistance for their totally reasonably-sized family of four, right? They should either have to be sick or bankrupt instead of having universal healthcare that would make the rest of us good Christians pay for birth

I have always been enraged that the Duggars have declared their HOME a church. Thus securing tax exempt status for it. They don't pay any property tax OR sales tax if they are buying something for their home. Wouldn't that be nice if the rest of us could do that? I read somewhere that they get about $66,000 in tax

On the hairstyle point, I remember episode in which the girls said that they all perm their naturally straight hair "because Dad likes curly hair." Am I the only one hoping for a "Breaking Duggar" spin-off?
