+1! While I was watching this, I could hear my mother’s voice in my head saying, “That’s why we put things away when we’re done with them,” in a very smug tone. Finally, she’d think, the bears have come to prove me right.

That’s how school in Germany is. We have “oral marks” that make up a part of every class (besides PE). I was such a shy and awkward kid that my overall grades were always 1/4 worse than my test grades.

It’s a terrible system. Yes, students need practice in group work, and in taking part in discussions, but there is a better way. My high school English teacher did a really great job of making sure we all took part in class—part of which was telling the bossy know-it-all types (yours truly) to shut up, because other…

What I saw on this video segment was an experienced, thoughtful politician telling a young black man that our racial problems will linger on and on into the future if he’s willing to do nothing more than demonize white people. She suggested to him, to his face, that he supplant his rants with workable plans that…

Maybe she came off as a rich white lady wagging her finger at these people. And maybe the Democratic candidates’ inability to respond to questions reveals a strange lack of coaching. But notice that only the left requires this coaching nowadays. The GOP can provide literally any answer to these questions, without…

I really liked the part where she bluntly said “I don’t think you can change people’s hearts. What you can change is the law.” I mean, she’s right. It’s depressing beyond measure, but true. The people on the correct side of history have to put their backs into changing society’s infrastructure.

I guess I’m the odd Black girl out who actually liked that idea that Hillary was asking them for a plan as opposed to thinking that she as a privileged white woman can just assume what she comes up with will work. Also, I don’t think she needs to apologize for supporting the messed up things Bill did in the past. I…

When I watched the video, uncut without commentary, I interpreted her part of the dialogue as “I’m listening to your community’s suggestions as to what to do about our obvious race problem, because I don’t want to be the privileged one dictating to the oppressed group, so please give me your suggestions because I’m…

I’m glad this brave man had the courage to stand up for such an important issue.

Child abuse? Pssssh. People who give participation trophies are LITERALLY Hitler! Also, I am totally not into hyperbole!

Universities should just not support these institutions and should limit their ability to throw parties on school property.

Thank you. This is White Privilege at its finest. White liberal also used to yell at MLK Jr. and others for criticizing LBJ. Before that, they yelled at black leaders who criticized FDR. Going back further than that, they mocked Frederick Douglass for being highly critical of Lincoln. Each time, the sentiment is the…

I’m 5’0” and look like I’m 14. I hate it when people ise that as an opportunity to be condescending to another adult for no reason. Screw you Wendy!

That shit is rude, Wendy. What do you expect Ariana to do about her height? Outside of risky surgical procedures, there ain’t much you can do.

That but what really makes me eye roll is these people are my age. We lived this! This was daily life. Girls played with trucks and Big Wheels as much as the boys. We all played with Legos, not the pink version for girls. It was so normal nobody thought twice about it yet these assholes act like the world is ending…

Their official statement is they will allow girls to sit on the bench? Like its some big favor they are giving?

The “hatchet wounds” were superficial bruising per the local news. The victim isn’t even expected to seek treatment. Something to point out the next time gun nuts say more gun control means attackers will just used knives. I’d sooner take my chances with a knife or hatchet than a bullet.

Force mother to work through pregnancy and immediately following, blame her for all parenting failures for requiring money for goods and services thus requiring her to be a working mother. Shame her for needing to feed her child using the sinful part of her body that evolved to produce milk.

We should not rest until we have done everything to protect the lives of unborn children.

NB4 the false equivalence arguments re: abortion, humans being murdered, any other kinds of suffering, meat eaters aren’t allowed to care, etc.

The point this entire time has been: RICH ASSHOLES NEED TO STOP POACHING ENDANGERED ANIMALS.
