I feel like you've simplified the situations that these cases happen in. People are not reacting to the camera. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm willing to be, but I really don't think people are afraid of the camera or upset by the camera - at all. I think they are upset by the fact that some asshole behind the camera is…

Oh wait! You think everyone's reacting to the camera. Sweetie, it's not about the camera. Imagine the camera's a gun that's not going to kill you and now someone is pointing it at you. React.

Well, I'm sure each case is different. Speaking for myself: If I just discovered that someone was taking my picture/currently filming me I would be pissed. And not just a little bit. I would be really fucking angry. It is rude to take someone's picture or film them without consent. So I would be very angry and react…

I think people want to and have the right to control their image. We have no control over how we are perceived by others, but we can control how our images of us are used. I personally do not want people I don't know having an image of me and that is a result of the ease with which we can now manipulate images.

I know!

Where's Tina?

These little bastards really must breed like - oh wait.

When I was months old, my mother put me in a pair of denim pants. My great grandmother was very irritated by this and said that I would think I was a boy. My mother retorted, "She doesn't even know she's a girl yet."

The green states are the ones where women are allowed to go topless. However, police often get around the fact that it's not illegal by using a charge such as "public nuisance." And given the amount of outrage that some people have against even breastfeeding, well it's not hard to understand why more women don't…

Check your local laws, ladies! In Maine it is legal for a woman to go topless.

I would just like to say, every time there's an article about how Barbie is destroying the image girls have of themselves, I played with Barbies when I was a kid. And I really liked playing with them. They were fun, especially on rainy/cold days when I couldn't go outside and hunt down Bigfoot, make dog poop stew, and…

Commentary from the greyzone:

Samurai Song by Robert Pinsky

Amy's sending people off into new adventures a lot lately. And by a lot I mean three people, two occasions, in the last four days.

I spend about $150/month. I don't buy many snacks. I also have a month long food plan which significantly cuts down on what I buy and how much I buy. I really think planning out your meals for a month can help you cut waste and cut cost!

I have! And I liked it a lot. My gram's got Alzheimer's and it struck home. I wish I could get a Robot for her.

I concur. And I've noticed some of the commenters think that in order to formulate an opinion on a movie one has to watch it. Where the hell did that mindset come from? Is it a bit like judging a book by the cover? Yes, the back cover, with the synopsis on it. I don't read books I'm uninterested in. I don't watch…

Her, which I haven't seen, but I've seen trailers for, gives me the heebie-jeebies. The problem I have is that it completely removes the woman from the relationship and also makes it very evident that the reason this guy falls in love with her is because she's a female voice. Would he fall in love with a male AI?…

Jesus.

I'm currently in Maine where I woke up this morning and it currently "feels like" -20 outside. Last night was brutal. I also have family in the midwest (specifically Indiana); one thing I noticed over Christmas break was the large number of churches that Indiana has. They're everywhere. And, during the majority of the…
