. err... I can totally see your point, and I do believe this is where Margaret is getting at. However, you may feel that you have done a great deal for your group, but it is a very different thing how this group views your efforts. It is a very big mistake to think that ethnic groups are monolithic. There are a lot of…

This pretty much. The whole case was full of vices, tainted evidence and hearsay. She was acquitted not because she was found to be innocent; there was just no sufficient evidence to prove her guilty. I won't get behind her innocence. I do believe she is/was hiding something and the whole "the black guy did it"…

Oh, how I would love to be a ginger! My mom is a natural ginger and she used to have the most beautiful hair color I have seen in my life. So red! So shinny! Then, one day, she went to the beauty salon and came back as a bottle blonde. BLASPHEMY! I still haven't forgiven her for that. I am a brunette and my husband is…

This is by far the best argument I have heard in favor of these kids being tried as minors. Indeed, prison will do nothing to dismantle rape culture among teenagers. However, I still feel that the sentences do not fit the crime. How can you reconcile a fair punishment with true rehabilitation in cases like this one?

I believe this. Talking about sleaze - he kinda looks like Hugo Schwyzer without the glasses.

I know - it is like she just needs to say something about... well, everything and nothing at the same time. I really don't get the "funny" in any of her tweets. Meh, I just don't get it.

Uff. I have the impression that this won't last long. Weight loss magazine cover in 5, 4, 3...

Of course, it is hard to disagree with Dodai here. It is never ok to fat shame anyone, especially a pregnant lady! BUT - we also have to analyze Kim's role in this whole debacle a little deeper.

Gameboy is winning?! We are talking about 90210 here people... Dylan McKay! 90210 MADE the 90's! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!

"a) Laugh it off

Boo! We already know who is going to win that one #TeamCocaine? #Sads

Oh no, I am not saying that at all. I travelled alone for several months in Southeast Asia back in 2006 and in South America last year. They are not all that woman friendly areas - I knew that from the beginning. I took all my precautions, I avoided certain dangerous areas/places, etc. Nothing happened to me until I…

This. And add clowns and mimes to that list.

It is not related at all to this story, but it reminded me of something that happened when I was living in Mexico City a few years ago.

Over a foreign woman? A British citizen? I don't think many people are counting on the inmense privilege that a white tourist has in a foreign country. Like in the case of the Swiss woman that was gang raped, authorities will react this fast to catch anyone involved. That would likely never happen if the victim was a…

Well, that attitude IS pretty dumb. But like the OP said, you as a tourist have the responsibility of informing yourself on the region that you are supposed to visit. Not all India is dangerous - some are probably even safer than most cities or towns in America. However, some other regions are total no-go areas. Every…

90210 or Grunge... OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!

Normally, I would agree with this, but to be honest with you, I have never heard of her prior to this film. I did know Harmony Korine though. So, it was good to find out a) her name b) that she is an actress c) that she is his wife and not a sister or his daughter.

Best answer so far. I'm 30 now and this is my lesson so far. Right person at the right time. I've seen it happen a thousand times.

Ugh. All the people thinking: "It is so sad, poor kids, their lives are ruined!"
