Ah, I see. I misread, I thought it said the pictures WERE selfies. My mistake.

Think about how Renisha McBride's mother is feeling, having lost her child. Maybe that will help you get over feeling sorry for the man who killed her for no reason at all.

"But the site fired back that because some of the pictures weren't selfies, she didn't own copyright."

I was just thinking about this earlier this morning, but in reference to the Violent Acrez thing not this. In that situation, you had the same reaction—all of these scumbags from Reddit complaining about how Adrian Chen had violated that creeps' first amendment rights. What you say here is exactly what I thought then.…

Lady, you are my newest hero. Or should that be heroine?

"I'm talent too and I produce and will be in some upcoming projects as well but ushers sat me there."

Jeez, people are awful sometimes. I'm sorry you've got them living across from you.

This is interesting-it might be one of those situations where what people imagine is worse than what actually happened. When you said you'd done things you're ashamed of to feed your addiction, that's immediately where my mind went. I assumed you were talking about prostitution.

Ouch. Trying to wrap my head around that has given me a headache. This woman across the hall is black, right? And she's married. To someone who says "men don't want to date black women." But he presumably dated a black woman. Because he's married to a woman who is, in fact, black? I'm sorry, I just am trying to…

No, actually it's not okay. Yes, it was a religious symbol for many years before Hitler used it. But really—how ignorant do you have to be today to not know that that symbol has been desecrated and is no longer usable? Are you telling me that people in Taiwan, for example, don't know about the Holocaust? I find that…

Get psychiatric help at 17, don't wait until you are 19. So much could have been avoided, and so much would have been different if I had done this. :-(

"6) And finally, rebelling is so not worth it. Too much insanity at such a young age will make college feel tame... and that is a bad, bad thing."

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't think about specific circumstances where it might be preferable. Also, I'm 40—things may have been a little different when I was growing up, back when trilobites still scuttled across the earth.

I'm wondering how old you are? This isn't a slam against your for age, it's just that I suspect I'm older, because things were very different when I was growing up. No one would have dreamed of giving a 7 year old a relaxer. We (black girls) wore our hair natural, in a ponytail, braids, afro puffs, etc. until about…

Is encouragement from a fellow brown person acceptable? I'm fat and black and quite a long time ago I felt intimidated about going to the gym. It didn't help that some of the guys were jerks. But you know what kept me going back? Remembering that not one of them are doing anything for me. Are they paying my membership…

May you break your leg while running, have your thyroid cease working soon after, and gain a ton of weight while recovering from your injury. You awful, smug cretin.

Hearing people who do cleanses go on about it annoys me terribly. It's all this crap about "flushing toxins out of the body." Every time, I want to point out that your body has a way of ridding itself of toxins—it's called your kidneys and liver. And if those aren't working, you've got a big, big problem that no…

I found this interesting too, as that is my own experience. I pay $50/month for the gym and $110/month for the diet pills(phentermine). My gym membership used to be even cheaper ($35/month), but I moved closer to a branch of the gym that has a pool, so it's more.

I know when someone asks "Who?" everyone tells them to use Google. I did so and I still don't understand who this person is/why she is notable. Granted I only read the wikipedia entry, but from that I gathered she 1) comes from a suburb near Chicago 2) went to college at Georgetown and wrote for the college paper…

I'd forgotten too, when I saw that I thought "Who's Crystal Hefner?" That said, the outfit in the middle is the right choice.
