Three months? He’s gonna miss the whole summer. Man, rape just isn’t worth it.

The father’s letter: the voice of experience?

“We need to change our names, but I really wanna keep using all my monogrammed stuff...”

Are we allowed to be excited yet? I have a two year old daughter and this is just such a huge thing for her generation. She gets to grow up knowing you don’t have to be a white male to be president.

I’m not in favor of state sanctioned execution but oddly enough I’m cool with vigilante justice. Meaning if the dad had hit his target and managed to end this dude’s life, and I was on the jury, I’d let him walk in a heartbeat.

You know he should have thought of that before raping a child.

Yeah I was a combination runner/stripper. I would disappear and be found naked and diaperless in the center of those round clothing racks. Dancing, because of course.

Brazilian here. Although the article is factually correct, I think it would be useful to expand the information a bit, in order to get more context. Since I already sort of did that with my comment in the article about the Italian woman burnt alive by an ex-boyfriend, here it goes:

People don’t tend to be even about any of their emotions. They focus them on one or two or a handful of people.

I was just talking to my mom about this today. My father was never physically abusive towards me, but I do remember times where he was physically abusive towards my brother. He was emotionally abusive to both my brother and me, and I later learned how horrible he was to my mother when they were married. Luckily she…

Cool, so the security guard assaulted himself, the hotel room trashed itself, Winona Ryder misremembered things to Natalie Portman, Kate Moss ripped up photos of herself in a fit of jealousy, all those beers drank themselves and then went on television and drunkenly stumbled through that speech, the car drove itself…

While I've never run away, I did have a similar college experience. My third year I stopped leaving my room, stopped going to classes, and basically watched movies all the time. I had completely shut down and was having panic attacks. There was such an immense fear of the impending failure, yet I never realized how…

It was the cognitive dissonance that finally got to me. Like, there were just so many issues that left me feeling hypocritical, and having them kindly explained without being called an idiot in the process was helpful. Also, learning more about the world and finally meeting and talking to minorities and immigrants…

This.

I’m in my thirties now and working in legal aid. I would have to have an actual brain injury and total amnesia to see what I see every day in the lives of my clients and turn around and become conservative. If you open your eyes to the reality of the effects of politics on people’s lives, I don’t know how you can…

He was generally opposed to raising taxes, but mainly because he felt the revenues were already there, it was more a matter of making government more efficient to stretch the dollar’s value.

I’m from the NW originally, and I went to college and am now at a state medical school in the deep south with lots of young men and women like this. This attitude that you quote ‘“That is a privacy issue. Government has no business getting involved”’ is what bugs me the most about them, though. I get that everyone…

My best friend and college roommate for three years is a conservative, and was a member of the college Republicans. He was (and is) an exemplary conservative and one whom I wish the party was full of.

This seems to be a strawman, because even her fans would admit she’s flawed. This very story mentions that.

I’m a Jennifer born in the late 70's to a mother who SWORE she didn’t know anyone else who was naming their daughter Jennifer.
