You don’t understand why the guy who said he could beat MJ any day in college despite averaging 2 points a game is insufferable? You don’t see how a helicopter parent domineering over his children and stealing their spotlight is a negative? You don’t see how costing his son a lucrative shoe deal was a totally…

Dylan Roof is one of the worst Americans to live in our time. He should rot in prison. But do you really think any prisoner should be held without food for an uncomfortable amount of time? The reality is that we can’t control what random people do, but we should require accountability from our government. I can’t let…

Why in the heck would you stay in contact with a married community college professor? Not a whole lot of upside on that dude.

As a white man I just want to tell this white supremist what a fuck up he is. Not only are his ideas devoid of any substance, but the idiot can’t even execute his own hatred. He tries to harass minorities and ends up killing more white people - what a clown. Sad that two people lost their lives, but I’m encouraged by…

Man. I’m lucky enough to have the time to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters in my area and have an amazing young man I’m working with. He’s four years older than this kid. I just can’t fathom what kind of people could do this. That poor child and what had to be a terrifying last few minutes. Life is so cruel for…

Well, to be fair, he wasn’t convicted of being brainwashed, but of killing a bunch of people.

Damn. What a sad story. I am a lawyer and my girlfriend is a prosecutor. Her father used to be and is now a judge. Only a few months ago, they had police outside their house for a few weeks because they found her father’s name on an inmate’s list inside a federal prison. Thankfully nothing has come of it, but it is a…

Good post, but since you are hitting people on semantics, the statues would be American history. The confederacy didn’t last long enough to erect monuments to themselves. So it was America after the Civil War that put up those statues. The history is as American as it comes. Just not very good history.

I think you’re right that the person you’re replying to is just a troll. But funnily enough, female guards getting seduced by male inmates is a real thing. Don’t you remember the story on this very network about the prisoner impregnating four guards?

Hey, be fair! Women generally don’t care about womens’ sports either.

You do understand that this was a subtle joke about overheating, right?

Cargo shorts and a t-shirt is your idea of “grown up”?

Fat people (and all people) do need healthcare! I agree, yo. There are plenty of things we can do to try to counteract weight gain though. What do you think happens at medical weight loss facilities? The doctors just make up all treatment as they go and nothing works?

Well, I am white. No inflated sense or knowledge, but on the internet we all can have an opinion. One of my undergrad degrees was biology which certainly makes me no expert, I agree, but I am able to retain and parrot much of the information I absorbed in that pursuit. The elective on nutrition I took for it was…

It’s a terrible answer, I agree. But it’s sadly a reality. We should spend less time trying to teach kids to retain information and more time teaching them to have the curiosity to explore the world around them.

Education is such an integral part, you’re right. Insurance companies benefit tremendously when their customers’ do more preventive care. They should encourage it in every way possible.

Could you not even be humored to read my entire comment? I address that very fact. And yes, muscle is heavier than fat. Most “overweight” people aren’t so because they are bodybuilders.

I didn’t really have any ultimately weight-related issues, but the writing was on the wall and some underlying concerns were exacerbated by the extra weight. You’re correct about your greater point though. Exercise is hugely important and there are a lot of “skinny” people who are very unhealthy also. But research…

What should Ivanka wear since she converted from Christianity to Judaism when she married her husband?

What? No. It’s the appropriate attire for the Vatican (if a little antiquated). Check out Michelle on her trips as she dons the same type of thing. I don’t think President Obama was trying to insult any nonas then either.
