I thought everyone on Group Think and TheSaladBowl had already determined you to be the root of all racism, Erin.

Well, I'm off to write personalized thank you notes to every guy I've ever dated, because, sure, some of them were selfish or stupid or controlling or still in love with their exes, but at least not a single one of them was a sisterfucker. And, for that, I am grateful.

Seems an abundantly obvious point, doesn't it? Judging by all the comments from offended librarians here, apparently not.

Didn't read the article. Just pointing out that Valerie Jarrett doesn't suck because she is a woman, she sucks because she is the awful Valerie Jarrett.

I got my MIS on the way to my PhD and one thing that struck me was that no other profession, not even academics with terminal degrees, obsessed over the stereotypes associated with being a librarian as much, hence all the ludicrous "tattooed librarian" calendars in lieu of meaningful gains, such as a union, for…

Keep Jarrett.

Her entire piece is based on second hand accounts of Valerie.

Oh stop being so nasty BonBon. Twelfie and I decided it was his grammar checker betraying him, and I urged him to disable it and trust his own instincts if you bother to read the whole chain. Misunderstandings abound on message boards, and I inadvertently fuel them sometimes, I guess. Give up on screenwriting? Not…

Oh yeah? Well maybe I don't want to be in your stupid smoky adventurers' club and drink expensive bourbon while you regale us with stories about the time you made love to a yeti. (I'm lying, I totally do, that sounds like so much fun! Please let me in, you stupid sexist adventurous men!)

Yep, I hear ya! The only difference between the dog and the kid scenario though is that dog owners are required to have a license and take their dog outside on a leash. Only service dogs allowed inside a store. Whereas the dumbass mother doesn't need a license to be a mom, and a terrible person that she is is the…

"really fucking white" is this an ok thing to say ? if the mom in this scenario was a minority who thinks it's ok to start fights around her child, punch and mount an attack on another person because of some words is it then ok to call her "really fucking black" ? or "really fucking brown" ?

No, contain your lousy yard ape. People think they deserve this medal because they fucking reproduced. No. You accomplished something the lowliest bacteria in the 6-month-old leftovers in my fridge can do. You made offspring. Congratulations. You ate a ham sandwich and nine months later, you took a human crap. Now…

And the parents also have to deal with the fact that they have produced children and are now responsible for their behavior and training.

I think that there should be a safe zone for jokes, where if something is a joke, it's ok.
