This seems to point to the husband as the aggressor, but the number of commenters stringently arguing that she is the shooter with really flimsy “logic” is disturbing. Maybe she is the shooter, but that still won't change that the logic in these comments is sorely lacking, or how the overwhelming majority of family…

In the event you’re proven right, enjoy the crow these commenters are going to have to eat. Some of the arguments people are having make such little sense. Like, “If the husband was responsible, we’d know by now” as proof that the wife did it. They aren’t coming right out and saying the wife did it, either; so how…

Basically this. Especially given that the execution of animals tells a pretty clear story about the mentality of the family annihilator. As someone else pointed out, family annihilators who kill pets are usually men. It tells a pretty powerful story as to the likely motivations, if nothing else.

Or suffering of plenty of black people of color MUCH closer to home...

You can blame that on the greedy-ass insurance companies, who face no real oversight or accountability under the ACA, and greedy-ass doctors who don’t want to have to deal with the hurdle involved with government-level managed care, for the children with “useless policies in their trembling hands”. Both of whom were…

I can somewhat relate to this. I struggle with significant thoughts of self-harm. I also hale from a dysfunctional family and my in-laws aren’t any better. Basically, from an objective viewpoint, if something happens to me, my daughter is truly in trouble. I somewhat resolved that issue by picking amazing godparents…

This, so this. As is often the case when you become a parent, I have entertained all kinds of scenarios. Privately, I must admit that I wrestled with the question of what I would do if my child was suffering from a terrific disease like Tay-Sachs, but I had the power to humanely end that suffering. Regardless of my…

What’s interesting is I think it was originally called “Mr. Fuzzypants,” so having it named “Nine Lives” is at least some marginal step up the ladder of film respectability.

Agreed; so this. Also, did you notice that they were ALL, ALWAYS terrible friends? Like Anthony and Stanley, as far as friends go, really weren’t any better.

Carrie got angry that Charlotte didn’t offer to help her out of the financial jam of having to pay Aidan for the apartment they were sharing. At the time, I identified and agreed with her points that Charlotte was rich, not working, and with no bills to pay, so she should at least offer to help. In the years since the…

What I consistently notice about the people (read: women) who defend SATC as Feminist: they all want to be Carrie. They think empowerment begins and ends with deciding to embrace typical elements of femininity shunned by the second wave—like wanting to get married and have cute shoes—and have good sex without hang-ups…

This. In my experience, the only women who insist that SATC is comprehensively empowering are generally well-off white women. Representation alone is not enough for something to be considered empowering. Like yes, women’s sexuality is important but shit, the episode where Samantha dated a black man was fucking…

Having just spent the better part of three hours arguing with a 27-year-old white men that he cannot be oppressed on either the basis of his race or his gender, I want to give you all the stars as to veracity of your comment.

What’s even more fucked up is how he screwed so many people over in the process, like Sondra Locke.

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I just think pointing out the school angle really rubs in for asshole racists what the impact of the older generation actually was.

Yes, but I generally need my shows about sex to at least attempt to have a plot, and shows about nostalgia to be worth remembering. “Cruel Intentions,” for me at least, fits neither bill.

I think maybe you should have tried 15 seconds, because:

He’s also from a generation that *murdered* *kids* for wanting to go to *school.*

Considering Clint Eastwood not only has several daughters, but I believe at least one of them is biracial, this shit is exceptionally fucked up. Way to be sensitive to the cultural needs of your kid, DAD.

Yeah, see Megan Fox and Michael Bay. Her public criticism of him almost destroyed her career. She said some seriously uncool things, so I’m not defending her, but it went down at a time when she was one of the most popular, highly paid actresses in the world to a few years of nothing. Her turn as April O’Neil wasn’t…
