We should keep Washington, an also Hamilton because he was kind of a babe

I grew up in a house where Reagan was a dirty word and my mom was so excited about Bill Clinton that she took two year old me into the voting booth with her - for the sake of her health I would politely request that they never put Reagan anywhere near the twenty until after she's dead

This leads to the question - why haven't they tried to brink back knickerbockers, mob caps, and tricorner hats? Not only would it be way less offensive than fake feather headdresses, but the Tea Party association would add an extra level of irony.

No, it was used in a neutral light, simply to signify a person, as it is often used. Also significant, he's a member of the group that the term has historically been used to denigrate, which is why he can use it in such a way. You can argue about whether or not such an appropriation of the n-word is positive or valid,…

Except people do get upset over that word, when it's used as an insult, or by people who arent a member of the group the word was histoically ised to denegrate. If mentally challenged people decided to appropriate retarded I'm pretty sure it would go much the same way.

assholes

It's not just that he called autistic people retarded, it's that he used autistic as an insult - I would think that should be kinda the headline of this? I guess "he called them a word" is easier to understand then "he helped perpetuate their status as an underclass by implying that being autistic makes one lesser" -…

I think that's ripped from Oscar Wilde - I seem to remember reading and essay of his on the subject.

She was in the movie version of Reefer Madness the Musical, along with Kirsten Bell and the guy from Wings (which I only know because when I watched it with my dad he pointed at the screen and said "hey, he was on Wings) It aired in some premium channel, I can't remember which one, but I do have it on DVD… and that's…

I think there actually is in this case, because gun laws in Florida are so effed up. You could take a position that he should have been convicted of something, but with the way the laws are set up you couldn't. So it's a case of these laws need to be changed - which they definitely need to be, an not just the stand…

I was 3 and picking out my own outfits, which were all mismatched atrocities - given that it was 1993 I was on the cutting edge of style. My parents truly didn't appreciate the extent of my sartorial skills.

I've said this several times before, but my hope is that Jesse survives the inevitably destruction, the lone survivor, and flees from the wreckage with baby Holly, using all that blood money to purchase new identities, and he raises her as his own and let me tell you he's a great dad and they live happily ever after
.I…

I'm not a big fan of Big Fish but I am a huge fan of Ewan McGreggor in that movie… and in other movies I don't particularly care for otherwise… I just really like Ewan McGeggor. It also gets points for not having "LOOK HOW TIM BURTONY THIS ALL IS" plastered all over everything while still being visually distinctive…

Excuse me, I forgot.

To the comments on the poll cited, not being willing to explicitly call yourself a rapist when asked is not the same as not recognizing that you're a rapist. Not consciously recognizing yourself as a rapist is not the same as not recognizing on a subconscious level that what you're doing might be a little fucking…

The difference with serial killing is that it has never been anywhere near as endemic or prolific a problem as sexual violence has always been throughout history. It is not entrenched in our culture the way rape is.

That's the inherent problem with rape jokes (unless theyre at te expense of the rapisit or the society that enables rapists) and others of its ilk - you might know that rape is wrong, you would never rape someone, but there is someone in the audience who would and has and when they hear you make that joke they think…

The cool kids aren't offended. You do want to be cool, don't you?

I like the beat, but the lyrics definitely make me uncomfortable. "I know you want it" is pretty much page one of the Creepers' Guide To Coercing Women Into Having Sex. It's also a common defense rapists use - she might not have consented, but he knew she wanted it so it wasn't really rape. Related, using the victims…

I was 7 when this came out and haven't seen it since I was something like 8, too young to grasp how bad it apparently was - all I remember about it today is that George Clooney was my favorite Bruce Wayne
