Right? Maybe the actual problem lies in why people need to escape so much... Don’t touch on that tho, 50-hr workweeks for all.

Meanwhile, in real Australian news, our absolute prick of a Prime Minister put his foot down last night, effectively banning members of his party from voting on their conscience regarding Gay Marriage. Instead they have to vote ‘along party lines’, which is anti-Gay Marriage. Australia is the last English speaking…

That explains this headline...

On a trip to Australia, a girlfriend and I landed in Sydney and through a mix-up, were dropped off at the wrong hotel. As it wasn’t too far, we decided to just schlep our luggage to the correct place. Three different groups asked us what happened and if we wanted to go for a drink (guys & girls). It was 830 in the…

Fosters is not a thing here. Nobody drinks it. Stop perpetuating this myth. The rest is true though.

Absolutely. What critics of the Amnesty position advocate for is the ‘Nordic Model’, which does precisely what you’ve asked about. It’s the law in Sweden. You can read about it here: http://www.equalitynow.org/sites/default/…

It’s is about time people start listening to sex workers. It makes no sense to prosecute them in any capacity, for the sake of “protecting” them, because it doesn’t. Also, Shut up Lena and Ann, and listen to these women in the thick of it for once, instead of hiding behind your holier-than-thou, rich, white chick…

Especially since the Supreme Court found that laws like SC’s VIOLATE the US Constitution.

This is rape.

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

Heehee!

Are all the musicians supposed to pony up for their own studio time and engineers? Pay their own promotional fees? Because I don’t see much music being produced if everyone does it Prince’s way. I’m sure that once you are a big success, giving up a huge percentage to your recording company must seem unfair, but they…

I want to get behind a woman for president, and she talks a good game, but... Yeah. No. What sort of scandals have the Republicans Conservatives Zealots managed to drag out of the closet on the Obamas? None. Yet there are still mentally challenged people on the internet still claiming he’s a Kenyan.

The Clinton’s have…

Oh my god I’m so glad there’s a space for me to express how stupid this article is. It’s literally the exact same article papers have been writing about rich white kids in Manhattan since the 1920s, updated each year to include the new technology and trend.

There are so many confounding factors. The idea that these white male directors and actors are making the money mostly based on market demands as opposed to their access to the market and the support of studios doesn't really seem that well proven.

If I am pregnant and you force me to carry it to term, you are impacting my health care, whether the pregnancy is “safe” or not. A full-term pregnancy has a mental, physical, and emotional cost that women who want to give birth sign on for. If I do not want to pay those costs, having an abortion is in fact a matter of…

If it involves a medical doctor and my body, it’s fucking healthcare.

One time my husband and I were at Bdubs, and while our server was taking our order, the lady at the table behind our server legit starts snapping her fingers and tapping him on the arm. I would never actually, but I leaned sideways in my chair and with a totally straight face said, “I will fight you.” She was so taken…

Parenting classes, amirite? As a teacher, it really grinds my gears when a parent acts like I don‘t know shit about children. Don’t get me wrong, most parents are wonderful. For those who seem to think I’m a 12 yr old babysitter, I’d love to remind them that in order to get the privilege of teaching their child I did…
