This is something I was thinking about as well. Although I understand the need to take pride in your own culture and religion and that this phrase means something far more beautiful to the people who use it for their prayers, or just general speech (in arabic speaking places in the world).

A dutch haunting story, yay! I’ve never heard scary stories that happened in my country, it’s always US or UK :P

..sorry you were haunted by your grandpa though..

Could it also be because the US/World is experiencing a lot of shit and the public is using their time and money protesting and standing up for what they believe in if/when they can?

How SCARY was Fairuza Balk, for real. Also Skeet Ulrich scared the crap out of me when he was going all obsessive over Sarah. And I found Sarah, who of course starts off as a blank sheet of paper (in what might now be considered Twilight fashion, but instead of bad, is actually a good thing) and becomes a total badass…

I think what makes Cindy more uncomfortable is the way the costume is handled. She's presented as a tomboyish girl with a rough jacket that is opened in such an insane way that it's obvious the only point was to bring out her boobs. Realistically she should be pulling it open every few minutes to keep that view.

You and compassionate have sent me down a succesful internet-hole about this meme. I didn't know it and I'm laughing my ass of at work! :P

Making sense =/ proof or fact, hear hear.

I can't even count the times that I've heard someone proudly announce that we get wrinkly fingers and toes because it creates better grip. Only to have to tell them that actually, although it makes sense, that study has been disproven and we actually have no idea why that…

That is glorious.

All of these were great! What an awesome website :D

But what if you love BOTH? What then??

William's post made me shake my head in sad disbelief. Your post gave me goosebumps, the good kind. That's EXACTLY how some of these people act. Damn good writing.

You perfectly explained how I feel about feminism with this :

This is exactly what I thought right after clicking on it :(

I agree! In fact our school is one of the only schools (to my knowledge) which actually gives a design ethics class, encouraging students to think about these sorts of things. Off course many students were of the "if they pay me I'll do it" variety, but it did stick with some of us. Like me, two years later I still…

May I, oh writer if the oath, redistribute your message amongst my fellow designers and may I, if it pleases the gods of adobe, hang this oath upon our walls. Forever to remind us of the oath we didnt (but really should) swear to.

Thinking about the most recent movies I actually went to see were all with my female friends. And I see many girls and women around me going to the movies, less so of men. I realise that a lot of men are in fact going to the movies, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that women aren't creating demand at all. At least…

I'm so sorry to hear that your sweetheart passed. And I understand why you couldn't quite enjoy the same ritual with a new feline friend. Hopefully the two of you wil be able to get some completely new rituals that belong to just the two of you. Not better, but different.

My cat. Also Pixel. ;p

Me too. But I do think, or I can imagine, that this kind of thinking contributes to the whole 'I'll settle because I don't want to die alone'- decisionmaking. And alternatively, what if you spend the first 20/30 years of your life living in ways that don't really make you happy and don't start finding your own way…

That's a very interesting concept. I would love to see that done. Maybe the brilliant people who created this video might like to do it! Although men generally don't talk about how this kind of upbringing hurts or damages them (they are 'tough' after all) I do feel that it's a very serious problem that needs…
