Mine did, but it definitely caught me off guard.

This is why you don’t have your own show.

I usually try to duck when people start throwing them?

The spurned ex out to ruin his life by crying rape plays well among a certain segment of the population. That he's playing the, bitches be crazy card is no surprise. It's really the only one he has.

Guilty of being an asshole.

You don't know Florence and the machine? Because if not you are missing out, Florence welch is a fucking angel sent from the heavens to grace us with her brilliance

I think their actions qualify as “there’s more to this story than meets the eye.” I’m pretty sure when he turns 21 and gets out from under his parents, there will be an interview where we learn a LOT more about this kid’s father and the kinds of actions he did.
For instance, did you know that:
The father was a Sudanese…

Just got to say, though, that making this a big ado over civil rights - which it is - in America, and then moving to a place like Qatar (after being photographed with war criminal Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir) probably isn’t the best look. I’d have at least have passed on the latter. I get that his parents are…

“Your parents hated other people more than they loved you. Now go play!” So fucked up.

Not gonna lie, this is one of my fears as my only child, my son, is leaving for college this summer. I’ve been a SAHM, a decision my husband and I made before the kid was born, and I have zero regrets, but I’ve seen many changes just the past few months, as he has a full school schedule, plays in the jazz band so he…

I agree - this post is way over the top. Barring some dysfunctional family backstory, the adult child owes the parents polite behavior (returning calls, being nice) just as much as the parents owe the adult child polite behavior. Unless the adult child wants to break away from her parents entirely - including…

I don’t know the situation but I think you are reading a lot into this. It sounds like a frustrated mom dealing with a major transition period in the relationship. The rest is just projection. Eta: and to add, young people also have to learn to have a relationship as an adult with their parents. It’s usually a mutual…

OMFG. Pushing daisies!!! How did someone make a decision to cancel that show? It was a perfect show. Perfect cast, perfect storylines, right amount of humor. Ugh. I will forever hate ABC for that.

My (now) sister came out as transgender 3-4 years ago, and it has been a rough road, TBH. It was fucking HARD, and it being hard has felt terrible. The fact that I couldn’t just automatically be on-board and super supportive and get my pronouns right and call her by her new name and remember she’s my sister and not my…

I think you sound human. Change is hard (sorry for the cliche, but it’s TRUE) and this is a HUGE change. It would be weird if you didn’t feel confused and emotional. I think a support group is a good idea, not because you have a “problem” with it, but because they can tell you that what you’re feeling is normal and…

No suggestions, just hugs. You can be supportive and loving and also grieve for what is no more. We don’t live in a world that is entirely safe for the trans* community. It makes sense to have a heavy heart.

Hi Jezzies!

Fuck off with your reasoned logic, Spock! You know you’re on Kinja, right?

This is what my post above is all about. Statistically speaking, there is less chance of being involved any violent crime today, as there was in the 1960’s, but because there is 24 hour news coverage of just about EVERY unfortunate/crazy situation, it looks like the nation is an f’d up place to live.

No, he is not “innocent at this point.” He is, legally presumed innocent, not socially or personally or even in reality innocent, for all we know. The government must treat him as innocent at this point. This is only a legal concept.
