I never said it was the main reason, I simply replied to your “who cares”...the scholarship excuse is being used by parents. I never got a scholarship, my kid probably won’t earn one either. I only know what people *say* about how their kid paid for college. I am more than willing to agree that more than a few are…

Ah, you're just being an ass. 

100%, and I've known plenty of families here that were literal millionaires who had their sons get a free ride for their ability to throw a football.

Millions of dollars in Scholarships are on the line; It’s not just “high school sports” and hasn’t been since we allowed multimillion-dollar-stadiums for said high school sports teams. High school sports are a business, and these students are free money (here in Texas, football a multimillion dollar industry).

Nope- cigs, alcohol, and rental cars are legally denied to you in the US until you’re 21.

I read these books to my son to teach him socialism and environmentalism, and to stand against fascism... but yeah, as a (mixed) Korean-American raising a white-passing son, I realized how racist a lot of his stuff actually was 😒.

Several other celebrities have stated they endured the same treatment (Kat von D was one that I remember), and Hilton has spent the past few years advocating for justice for children that went t.i these types of schools. Paris Hilton recently championed a bill (which was passed unanimously after she testified to her…

Why are these assholes defending racist, misogynist, rich and White, DAVID FUCKING LETTERMAN, who was, what, 50? 60? and bullying a young woman (even though somehow her being in her late 20's justifies a goddamn thing)???

You’re defending an old, racist (he never had a POC as a writer on his show, both at CBS and NBC, and made an entire encyclopedia of racist jokes), misogynist (only 2 female writers in his entire stint) asshole, who routinely makes punchlines out of (primarily young) women with mental health and addiction issues. Fuck…

Ah, so you too side with misogynistic perverted assholes...there are dumbasses everywhere, I suppose.

She had been on several times before- it was written in the article- and so I understood you to be ignoring that and taking the “what did she expect” attitude simply because he’s a dick.

She absolutely should be held accountable for her racism, I’m not defending that behavior. I will defend her against shits like David Letterman who never had a POC, and only two (white) women, on his writing staff during his stints at CBS and NBC. Letterman is racist and misogynistic, and will use mental health,…

Didn’t you whine about “kink-shaming” men (who degrade and humiliate women for their misogynistic sexual pleasure)?

She’s fighting to close the schools that are STILL treating kids like this... and yes, I would say most of us have been victimized in one form or another because humans are generally really shitty to one another.

I guess at 37 I just don’t want that responsibility of being judgmental over how others choose to handle their trauma. Unlike Paris Hilton (a person I never thought I would be defending, ffs) I was never stripped and thrown into solitary confinement, or forced to shower with others watching, or force-fed tranquilizers…

She was also sent to a military reform school at 16 (around then, at least), where the abuse and humiliation she experienced warranted an appearance in court (it was in the news the past few weeks, front page of CNN and USA Today, as she was testifying for a bill https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities…

I hope you can look it at from the perspective that if she was willing to hurt you to get what she wanted, you’re far better off without her. Open yourself to truly trusting another person (which can be hard, and behaviors can trigger situations from your ex that can cloud your judgment), and you will find someone…

Well, even though he dated a 19 year old (for a month or so), the only jealousy from me is toward whomever gets to make out with Henry Cavill. That man is beautiful.

Can you call being sent to a militaristic reform school being “emotionally supportive”, though?

😂
