You need to learn a little bit about Scientology before posting that. Read some biographies of people who have left to see the difference. To support Scientology is to support rampant physical abuse, kidnapping, and the "disappearing" of people. You support paying workers less than 30 dollars a week, forcing them to…

Honestly, she shouldn't go back there. No American women should study abroad in Perugia until Mignini is removed as prosecutor.

Yeah,....NO.

The difference between a cult and a religion is that you can choose to join/leave a religion and they won't stalk you or harrass you to try to change your mind into staying.

Scientology is a cult. I both dislike the higher up 'celebrities' and worry about everyone in general. They have very, very strong koolaid, it's hard to break away once they suck you in.

Lost all respect for Laura Prepon now that she's a looney.

Actually she's single, as she often mentions on twitter. Usually in the context of posting something about a fart, followed by "Can you believe I'm single?".

LOLOLOLOL @ Neko Case being autotuned.

Neko Case is a goddamn inspiration. For real, I don't know that I can relate to you if hearing her music/reading her thoughts doesn't make you feel 100% stronger and more ready to kick ass.

North Dakota's unusual in that they got Mossad agents before they got any Jews.

North Dakota is just crawling with Mossad agents

For people confused about the constitutional implications of this, or how one form of discrimination is prohibited but others seemingly aren't, here's the important bit of information missing from the piece: New Mexico has a Human Rights Act that specifically prohibits refusing services to someone on grounds of their…

The male bodybuilding community— by which I mean the types of fellas who use the word 'swole' without irony or awareness— has to be one of the absolute saddest groups of people on the internet. Like truly deserving of pity. Thats not to say that all bodybuilders are pathetic— there are lots of badass bodybuilders,…

When did this become such a huge issue for women? And how did it ever become a question of mutilation and trauma for god's sake? I've never heard any male, circumcised or not, talk about it as any such thing. It's just not a big deal, and to go on about it being some kind of horrific religious mutilation is completely…

As someone who has been circumcised and also completely okay with it, it really confuses me why there's such a big hubbub about this. One word that needs to really be used less often in this argument is mutilation.

I love the wool/silk combo. Warm! Silky! Who needs more?

My souvenir from my once-in-a-lifetime, big-city trip to Manhattan (Country Girl here!) was a $40 black wool-and-silk shawl/scarf from the big Macy's. 10 years on, still looks perfect, and great memories! Who needs Hermes??

Before I went to Paris the first time, a coworker told me that my "must" souvenir was a Hermes scarf. Something I could look back on and remind myself of Paris. Yeah, but no. At the time the scarf cost more than my airfare. For sure it does now.
