Plus models are not who you're thinking of. Plus models are usually below the average American woman's weight.

It's also just fucking annoying for people from the UK (and other nations, and even some from the US) to get all smug because "oh didn't you guys want to get rid of this whole monarchy show?" when clearly it's just celebrity culture. It has very little to do with the monarchy, just the fame of the people. It's mostly…

I have a feeling she's going to die sooner than your average rich white lady.

Even if a black man holds a gun to your head you don't start treating all black people like that and spouting racial slurs and jokes left and right.

Reminds me of the comments yesterday on that article about the wounded dolphin in China. So many comments were decrying the racism in a quote from the article, about some…

I still don't think that washes. Kids are cunning. Did you never hoodwink your parents and get drunk, or do any other sort of "bad shit" at this age? If it had gone wrong, would it have been at all fair to blame your parents for not having telepathic powers, or for not imprisoning their child in the basement until…

You know what would be superfun? If a journalist turned the tables and sued an interview subject for slander for questioning their professional integrity by fucking lying about their participation in the interview. It's fair when it happens the other way around, but the journo arguably has more professional cred to…

I agree with rach-hell. In my view (I speak for myself, not the Gawker commentariat, nor my employer or fellow countrymen) the problem is in expressing the "victim blame," not actually holding the reasonable thought. For a fairly parallel comparison, it's perfectly fair and logical to think that your friend shouldn't…

Is this even so uncommon? In the trashy mid-size city I went to school in, there were quite a feer beer-hole crap bars that had pretenses of being fancy night-out spots and had similar dress codes. Related: no man could carry any sort of bag. I was refused with a messenger bag. Worse still, they *wouldn't even let us…

Aaand this is why I support abortions for absolutely every single fucking pregnancy that is not wonderful, joyous, oh-so-desired news for the parents. Abortions for (most) everyone! Safe abortions are a wonderful, revolutionary invention and I can't wait until the world comes to see them as such. It will not be soon.

Does the adoption option not play into this at all?

Clearly it's not a great option and I can't imagine it would be an easy choice for any parent/mother, but it does seem like your argument is presupposing that there are women who absolutely have to raise children they do not want.

Most people consider, these days, that their waist is roughly halfway between their navel and top of their pubic.. area. Of course, pants rises can go lower or higher than that. It seems like if you asked a 10 year old (or someone completely oblivious to the concept of a "natural waist") to measure their waist, they…

Maybe they're talking about actual waist, and not the natural waist which hasn't been considered a "waist" by any living person in 2 generations. My jeans are 30" and my waist is 36"

Yes! Contraception and education are certainly the best options to start with. And yeah, your assumption is still pretty valid. :)

Is it me or does that slogan, out of context, sound more like a pro-choice thing? It would imply to me that we should care for the mother, too, not just the baby. Because DUH we love babies. Everyone loves babies.

It took me a moment to realize those were pro-lifers (because the sign distracted me from their stupid…

I try not to assert my views in here and damage the argument of "my side," but I am totally fucking in favor of more abortions. Way more abortions.

You don't want a kid more than fucking anything on the planet? You aren't at a time in your life where you're prepared to raise a well-adjusted child? Please consider an…

AH! They are unholy! I renounce you I renounce you!

It surprises me she's so little known, especially considering the fame of Eva Braun. More than likely that has something to do with Uncle Winston, but even then it doesn't make sense because their .. uh.. dalliance.. was so famous in England at the time. I think a movie focusing loosely on the stories of Unity and…

The only thing I think is weird for moms to wear is 4"+ heels while pushing a stroller. I somehow see this all the time and I can't explain why it looks so damn bizarre. Not inappropriate, just absurd.

Other than that, please dress as irreverently cool as you can muster. The general public, milf-lovers, and your…

Listen here, Disney - Ever After is the be-all-end-all Cinderella adaptation so you best step off or you're going to get a face full of glass shoe.

There's not a huge gulf in offensiveness with these words, when used by a little white boy. But for these purposes, there is a world of difference between "N*gga" and "N*gger," particularly when the latter is joined with the word "killer."
