@morninggloria: They also think owning pets is cruel, as animals should be autonomous. Their extreme views seem anti-animal at times.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Yes, I mean I'm aware it's not an actual cult, but aspects of it are very cultlike. I wasn't aware of their recruiting aspects until you told me, but what struck me most was the lack of critical thinking involved with PETA. It's almost like members are so in love with the cause, and promoting the…

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: That's why I don't understand PETA. Why try ,well I guess succeed would be more accurate, to gain publicity with ludricous stunts and sexy images with little or no substance behind them, if you want your campaigns to succeed. Most people love animals, and are aghast at animal cruelty,…

PETA is such an extremist organisation, I'd almost liken it to a cult. How else could one sign up to an organisation that promotes animal rights, and then be involved in 'rescuing' animals from a shelter, and then killing them. The disconnect is mindboggling. Not to mention their iffy ideas that owning pets is akin to…

Well, at least Charles knows one of his boys are his.

@ausdenbergen: I was only joking.

@LaFemme: Yes, a lot of people think that because of the Cameron quote that was posted here. I had just seen the film the day before, and couldn't believe no one pointed out that, no, they don't sport giant racks. In fact they fit the definition of a fit and muscular body type suited to their environment that people…

I think the problem lies with the motion itself. Obviously women have it better than they ever did before. Hell, men have it better than ever before. Technological advancements and the rise of universal education in the west has improved the lives of everyone. The question should have been framed in terms of whether…

@ausdenbergen: So, wait a minute, you're saying Shiloh is a lesbian? Goddamit, I knew US weekly was a credible news source. You're all just haters Jezebel.

@LaFemme: Yes definitely, I agree with you about the cheapness. I always feel Zara is a bit random with their clothes, often their stock, especially their dressy items, will look tacky and/or overpriced. Then you'll find the most perfect dress or top at a perfectly reasonable price. The one good thing about them…

@portia_sue: They're between an American 2-14, but I'd say most of their stock is S,M,L, or American 6-10. I'd also guess they don't vanity size. I buy clothes from America in a size 2, but in Mango I'm a small (American 6). I think a lot of European companies must use a more petite fit model than in America,…

How can someone look so chic in the rain?

International Kade scale: un-dix

Wow, with writing like that a Pulitzer is just a matter of when not if.

@msridiculous447: One of the reasons Haiti has a corrupt government, is because succesive corrupt dictatorships have been propped up by the US government. Also, the economic policy changes the IMF likes to call for involve making the free flow of capital easier and selling off state assets. By design they increase the…

The devil is Ned Flanders? Mmm...it all makes sense now.

In all fairness you can't expect a philosophy student to provide for themselves.

@Penny: I agree, and what happens when Haiti is no longer flavour of the month. Donating money is good, as it will at least be badly needed to provide medical care and rebuild the infrastructure of the nation, but it will do nothing long term to tackle the poverty faced by the Haitian people.

Unfortunately, while it's nice hollywood actors are donating time and money to help Haiti, it just smacks of the latest fashionable cause. I wish the media emphasis wasn't on what celebrities are going to do to help, but on what governments are going to do to help. Celebrities can donate money, they may also be able…

@Penny: Yeah, I mean I don't really like her stance on it, but I'm glad she mentioned the migrant workers picking the vegetables. I remember reading about the conditions, the mostly illegal workers face in the massive vegetable producing areas in Spain. They work in atrocious conditions for basically nothing, slavery…
