It gets drawn somewhere on THAT side of "14-year-old special needs student and his teacher".

No, I'm not. II just don't like the implication that making money taints whatever you are doing. "Do you get paid to be a pediatrician?" Does that make the Yoga Nerd a better or worse person? And then Yoga Nerd jumped back oh no! He/She only makes less than the average doctor and blah blah. Does his/her opinion have…

No, you probably don't "judge people on the street for not donating" (and where do you get off using quotation marks in a paraphrase? That's not what quotes mean) because that would be insane. That's my point. It would be insane to judge people for not donating; why is it okay to judge people for donating in a way…

But you implied that because Yoga nerd made actual money, he/she was unqualified to have an opinion on a celebrity, which is pure silliness. We all have opinions on celebrities!

Maybe not a humanitarian, but it means that you do good things with your life. Being compensated for them is only fair.

Oh come now! I disagree with the Yoga nerd, too, but whether he/she makes a good income is not relevant to how he/she views a celebrity.

Huh? Sorry, I guess you are too smart for me. Whoosh over my head.

I was asking, why do you reserve such ire for people who do good deeds for the wrong reasons? Surely they still do more good in the world than people who do nothing, which is the majority of people. Do you spend time fuming about at the majority of people?

We all have past... indiscretions. Celebrities just have a bigger platform and a bigger ego, so theirs are proportionally bigger. God forbid everyone judge me in my 40s for what I did in my 20s. Especially considering that her "indiscretions" were just acting weird and wannabe goth. She never hurt anyone or raped…

What about ordinary people who do NOT give lots of money? You've spent the last half hour or so being so annoyed by rich people who give money for ostensibly selfish reasons, but they do more good than people who give nothing... do you fume about at other people you see on the streets, most of whom give nothing?

I can see your point here, but tell me, if you were working in a third world hospital, would you rather have rich, privileged, pretty women show up, act annoying, and leave money behind, or would you rather not get the money? Which do you think your patients would prefer?

Whom did Angelina Jolie rape or abuse?

Travel to third-world disaster zones is not comfortable, even if you have oodles of money. Fistfuls of cash do not keep mosquitoes, flies, dirt, grime, heat, humidity, and malaria risk away from you. It doesn't matter if she has designer luggage and flies first class; these are still places that are far from…

You are awesome.

I would not be against an article of clothing that gave me a continuous stream of caffeine.

Thanks for the bare scrape of a pass! :)

Yeah, I'm not usually one to get my feminist hackles up easily, but it is very sexist to be okay with male villains, but feel the need to "explain" female villains. Especially if the "explanation" is that she had her heart broken by a dude.

I never knew the back story of Medusa until I just now Wikipedia'ed it. Now I feel sad. My heart breaks for the mythological girl. :(

Sorry it was poorly phrased. I had another reader explain it to me who is clearly brighter than I am. Do I get a pass since it was Monday morning?

Ah... Thanks! At least I can get on with my day now!
