That's ridiculous. Taxes serve a purpose, but that doesn't mean that we should just be taxing rich people willy-nilly to pay for bad economic policies. You imply that taxing the shit out of rich people leads to automatic social prosperity. That is hardly the case.

But taxing rich people to death isn't the way to ensure social prosperity. It's a way to ensure the government takes all of your money and most-likely wastes it. And really, it isn't for you to decide "who needs that kind of money". If you've earned it, you shouldn't be taxed to hell just because others think you…

Agreed, but I thought it didn't actually go through anyway? Maybe I got that wrong though.

What are you talking about? One would need a brain to be irrational as well, and we're all guilty of it from time to time. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

Hmm, interesting...

Likewise, for reals. You had me at the name. ;)

So confusing. Guinea pig in the still but you click on the video and it's bunny. In truth I'd kind of rather see the guinea pig video, looks even cuter.

I still live with my ex-boyfriend. It's not as uncommon as you think. (But can be awkward as hell sometimes, I admit.)

Oy, no worries. I've had my own bad weeks, I hope yours gets better.

That's your judgment, but who are you to tell others they "should know better" for wanting an extreme type of justice for this woman, simply because you dislike it? I don't agree with the death penalty but this is a response borne of passion, and it doesn't mean people are hypocrites. People are outraged, and not…

That. That is adorable.

Aw, I kinda want to smoke with both of you...

Oh please oh please just one example. Just a taste. I love parental language. Does he call them "doobies"?

Could it be that the staff was just interpreting his busted "Swedish" as farts? (Btw, I totally lol'd at this.)

The language makes me think it's Bourdain, but I've never seen him have his own Food Network special. Which sucks because that would AWESOME. But this smells (heh) more like Batali to me...

Holy awesomesauce, I didn't realize just how active he was, lol. Yet I can't get over the thought that smoking with him would probably be like smoking with my dad. Weird.

I apologize too if I implied that you weren't outraged, that wasn't my intention, and as it is something that you are personally connected with I understand why it hits so close to home. Just realize that not all of us are cut from the same cloth. It's a shame though - Jezebel used to be a much better site where…

Well first I want to point out that I am a brown person myself, so it's a bit off-putting when you are making a point about how you are treated while making generalizations about how we must all be white and middle-class and live in comfy Brooklyn walk-ups. It doesn't make me sympathize, is what I'm saying, because…

Just for saying that you are already worlds above the turds featured on that blog.

It seems like it's more of an 'eye for an eye' type reaction. People are angry, and the actions of these men resulted in this woman's death, so they want the men to suffer the same fate. It may not be a rational response, but I'm not sure why it means those who support it don't have brains?
