At the risk of sounding like one of those assholes who looks at a Pollack and scoffs "I could do that!"*—can someone explain what makes Richardson's technique special/appealing/etc? Serious question to photographers and photography lovers/students. He's got a definite style, but it seems pretty uncomplicated,…

Jolie replied to me! Fuck my graduate thesis, nothing else can rival this accomplishment!

You destroyed your credibility by suggesting TotalBiscuit and decrying Sarkeesian, you complete walrus.

It would be easier to see China as the aggressor if they didn't have nuclear capable bomber wings flying straight at them and dozens of warships and submarines doing perpetual training exercises near them.

Well, obviously, any religion (or none of them) could be true. I assume that you were raised Catholic? Don't you think it's just such a lovely coincidence that you happened to be brought up in the One True Faith? A simple accident of birth and we'd be having this same discussion and you'd be telling me why Islam is…

Did you know that Jesus only ordained men from the Middle East to be his priests? Obviously He didn't want men from Africa, or Europe, or Asia to be priests. So today we really only should have Middle Eastern men as priests. Because Tradition.

I can think of several places where the Church has said that women are less valuable than everyone else and deserve to be beaten and demonized. The Magdalene laundaries, perhaps?

If the Church wants to keep as close to Jesus' original intentions as possible, why is it hoarding so much wealth in the Vatican instead of giving up all worldly possessions to the poor?

Why are Jezebel and so many of its readers so hateful of Catholicism anyways?

If women are good enough to lead the church, why can't they?

In 2009 in Brazil a man raped his 9 year old stepdaughter. She became pregnant with twins and needed an abortion to save her life.

I thought the pope was infallable. Are you saying that the previous one was fallable? How does all this work again?

I think you can sort of blame the Catholic church for what is in the Catholic teachings, which is what that dude is basing his bullshit on. He didn't just invent stuff like 'no sex before marriage', 'women obey husbands' and so on out of thin air. Most Catholics just seem to get by by ignoring the more openly…

I'm cool with Catholics working to help the poor and so on. I think that's a good use of time and resources. Basically, Jesus spent a hell of a lot of time talking hippie stuff about supporting the sick and the meek and not much time talking about sexual propriety. I'd like it if the various churches around the…
