"A waiter at a nice restaurant probably does the same amount work as the waiter at Cracker Barrel, yet gets paid far more handsomely, at least on a per table basis."

I had the same thought, but it says somewhere in there that she went to high school in America. I'm assuming that means her dad was not just of African origin, but actually an African-American.
As the plot thickens, the BBC reports that she "had been arguing with a mullah about his practice of selling charms to women at a shrine." The most recent reports make this sound like a story about money, not mental illness. It would be very easy to win any argument by declaring that your opponent had burned a Koran…
Afghanistan isn't culturally Arabic, so I don't know what relevance this question about Arabic cultural sensibilities has to do with this case.
I feel like half of all the grief I see on Twitter is conflicts between people with differing ideas about what Twitter is for. Somebody always wants to tell Keith Law or whomever that they don't want to read about his politics or what kind of pie he likes or what he thought of some new movie, because they think…
Also, everybody looks uncomfortable, scrunching their shoulders up because they're too close together. Why not do this in three or four rows to get everyone in the shot, so nobody is crushed together and so you can actually see people's faces?
I can't believe how utterly uncritical this interview is. I hope nobody strained a muscle tossing all these softballs.
I don't think that Plato was the first or only advocate for gender equality. The number of written documents that have survived for more than 2000 years are small and overwhelmingly written by men, so it's not surprising that some of the earliest recorded feminist advocacy would be from men. I would assume lots of…
If you ignore that modern Maya populations suffer from hideously high malnutrition and child mortality rates, you could draw that conclusion. I think those problems have less to do with vegan/non-vegan diets as much as abject poverty, but the Maya are a weird population of people to hold up as a population to emulate…

If you look at many of those Mayans today, they are horribly malnourished and have enormously high child mortality rates. So, yeah.
Wikipedia says Plato was an early advocate for complete social and political equality for women. Unfortunately, few of the remaining classical texts were written by women, and it's hard to identify early feminists. I don't know Sappho's work well enough to say whether she expressly embraced something like feminism.
you can lead a horse to water but sometimes that horse will continue to think straight-up insults are shade.
The markings on this ship match those of one that blasted its way out of Mos Eisley.
I read two things into it: the author may have failed to record the interview (which is really a must in this kind of story, for exactly this reason), and the Kardashians have a symbiotic relationship with tabloids. US Weekly doesn't want to be cut out of their loop and see scoops go to their competitors.
Or, you know, don't have sex with people close enough to the age of consent that you have to card them.
I love her.
I would think the more flagrantly bad, spectacularly-70s decision Hedren and Marshall made was to let a 14-year-old Melanie Griffith date Don Johnson and a 15-year-old Melanie Griffith move in with Don Johnson (age 23 at that time).
