I mean what Atticus Finch stands for is his profound devotion and belief in the rule of law. That’s why he couldn’t morally tolerate this attempt to frame Tom Robinson for rape and the town’s thirst to lynch him. At the same time, To Kill a Mockingbird was set in 1930’s Alabama. The “rule of law” there incorporated…

Yea, this makes perfect sense given how white people age. They get more conservative and more racist as they get older. I don’t know why people are shocked at this.

Well you know what Winston Churchill (definitely didn’t) say:

I haven’t even read the pre-release chapters, but based on this, I wonder whether there is some lesson about how people often get more conservative as they get older? How fear plays a part in that change, and people are vulnerable to influence? How there was a rise of protectionism as civil rights were recognized for…

Saldana wasn’t saying that appearance shouldn’t have been a factor in her casting. She was saying that her creative input shouldn’t have been rudely dismissed by her boss on the basis of her being a woman and of her appearance having been a factor in her casting. That’s not sexualization like Jezebel posts about…

“Congratulation [sic] to the glowing bride and groom.. And to my daughter Alexa, who has a wonderful friend in Alexis! Wishing the growing family every happiness!”

No man has ever complimented me on the things that really matter, like my impeccable eyebrow game or the fact that I’ve found the perfect shade of red lipstick for my skin tone. Hubs does this. And it is awesome. However the inverse is that he is also aware of the times that my brow game is hurting and my red lipstick…

That back pat would have been meaningless if Serena hadn’t already won 3463165 straight against her. That’s what you do to your little brother when he finally scores on you in basketball.

The sporting world really does breed shade experts.

Please tell us more about judging styling choices.

Never mind telling her sisters to back off of guys with girlfriends already, Kim should have been telling a grown man to back the hell off of her underage sister.

They do. However, to do it to the chick you just beat for the 17th time, the chick who is supposed to be your biggest rival even though you’ve been whooping her ass for 11 years, and the chick has said all kinds of sideways shit about you— that makes it shady.

i have never seen such a perfect example of “bless her heart” personified than in that serena williams bat pat.

Yes, why her? I’m guessing most of the other players have selfies up.

In the first seven years of the Iraq war 4400 US soldiers were killed. That many people are killed every seven weeks in the US with guns.

At this point maybe this should be the new flag

Wait help I’m confused. I thought originally we were told he’d been given the gun by the uncle?

Well this was the gun nuts wet dream. The system didn’t work with a 100% perfection rate and someone fell through and committed a crime. But rather than look at what went wrong and try to fix it, now the gun nuts can stand on the roof and scream about how the gun hating anti-American liberals background check system…

And this is the problem with gun laws. They are not enforced and are not followed because there are not enough resources. The NRA has spent millions of dollars ensuring that agencies like the ATF do not have the resources necessary to enforce these laws. I have no problem with the idea of stricter guns laws or new gun…

The NRA will use this to say background checks are ineffective and don't matter. What should really happen is the background check system needs to be made stronger, and more reliable.
