Still doesn't make it okay, but MIA's was a direct response to the French burqa ban. Considering that she comes from an area with a significant Muslim population, is a woman of color, and has referenced Muslim/Arab women several times in her career, it's not the same thing as what Gaga's doing.

But I'm American and it's my civic duty — nay, my patriotic obligation — to waste

I felt way less depressed when I became an atheist.

I think it's hilarious when people say that Zooey Deschanel is working against feminism because of how she dresses or talks. Like the entire point of the movement isn't that you as an individual can be a woman however you damn well please. I don't particularly like her, but I don't begrudge her dressing like she's…

I love that Rihanna brings so much attention to Barbados. I mean, because of her, today pictures of Kadooment are going to be all over the internet in mainstream media outlets, and perhaps people are going to do what you did and look it up and learn a little bit about our country and our culture. And that makes me…

And an education. That is what saved me- the knowledge that an education will get you out. And it will. You might be poor, and in a load of debt, but mentally you are free and that is worth it.

I'm a rancher so people's support keeps a roof over my head and food on my family's table. Factory farming is not sustainable, I agree with you on that, but small farms allow the money to go where it counts, right back into the communities they serve.

Those aren't just any kind of "slick-haired anime dudes." Those are bishounen!

Nothing quite says "appropriate wedding theme" like a story where a seemingly innocuous ring is to actually to blame for all of the evil and cruelty in the world.

I know Juror B37. I know her very well, actually.

PFFFT. They make you return it for repairs in the original packaging.

Paul Mooney pretty much sums up the truth behind people who aren't black who want to appropriate our culture, think they're "down," "feel like they're black on the inside," and do everything they think represents blackness.

I have a really good idea, it might be controversial, but here goes: Don't have such an expensive wedding, that a requirement for paying it off would be expecting each guest to gift you $200+. Because no one likes you that much.

This is the longest set up for an ARISTOCRATS joke ever.

Well played.
