This is a dangerous place to make gender generalizations, but VERY ROUGHLY IN GENERAL BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE DO UNCONSCIOUSLY ADHERE TO STEREOTYPES (was that enough disclaimers?), guys are less clingy in their friendships, partly because we're conditioned to aspire to be 'tough' and self-reliant, and partly because if…

Fortunately, the existence of Facebook has made breaking up with friends far easier. A de-friending is the simplest and least messy way of doing it. If the person has any dignity or sanity, they'll get the hint (not as much a hint as a pretty clear message). If not, and they contact you asking why you defriended them,…

Yes, but only if you're a billionaire asshole with a naive and simplistic political ideology.

The best part of this comment is that I can totally see Ray saying it.

Well, making the mainstream media draw attention to it for the first time in decades, for starters. And making Obama propose things like taxing financial transactions.

Surprise, surprise - people care the most about what directly affects them and their immediate group. So why are you setting higher moral standards of selflessness for the suburban white kids than you are for people of color, when you're guilty of the same thing?

But that's the point - there are a-holes on all sides and representing all views, and just as there are some people among the protesters who are harboring racial biases and ignorance of privilege, there are also some people among the racial awareness crowd who are more driven by racial animus and the desire to stoke…

Funny how you KNOW what the protesters would do. You must be psychic.

Replying to promote.

I never understood this kind of logic. You're pissed that people are caring about it now when they didn't care about it before...so the solution is to stop caring about it?

Except that debt slavery is an actual thing that has existed throughout human history and is very likely the most common form of slavery you'll find today.

I believe this is what's commonly referred to as "cutting off your nose to spite your face". What exactly are you doing to address the wealth gap?

Too lazy to find the Orson Welles clapping gif (and it's been used in these comments already), so just imagine that this is a verbal expression of the same sentiment.

I remember reading an article that analyzed how Batman is pretty much a right-wing wet dream: his enemies are mostly members of the fringe and downtrodden elements of society as well as the mentally ill, and the message is that the police and government are too corrupt to solve problems that can only be handled by a…

Shouldn't the first one have been Cinderella's stepbrothers mutilating their feet?

You're welcome.

The fact that this quiz considers Sarah Palin to be a 'leader' in any way, shape, or form tells me all I need to know about it.

It's funny, when my ex and I talked about marriage, I wanted to take her Chinese name because it sounded much cooler than my Jewish name.

What a lovely and delicious-looking meat snake.

It's not convenient, it's exactly what happened. A whole generation was sold a false bill of goods and bullshit promises and got screwed by it, so now they're fighting back. What's your fucking brilliant point?
