I believe that many people who attempt to define bullying have never actually experienced the real thing. it is not just something that happens to everybody at one time or another, like a cold or flue, To be a genuine bullying victim is to endure a chronic condition. Jia’s explanation of bullying as strictly a power…

The word that you are looking for is “insolent.” Also try indecent, indecorous, disrespectful or impertinent.

It’s part of his “brand.” Seriously.

She said a “cabinet that looks like America” and “America” includes Black men, so, imaginary problem: solved.

Slavery in antiquity was not necessarily the race-based version that ultimately defined the African slave trade. I think that singling out a specific race of people had to have contributed to the cruel conditions experienced by enslaved Africans, in contrast to enslaved peoples who might have benefited by being very…

Without reading too much into it, the Pope visit did very effectively bury news of the released tax return which occurred during the same news period.

Here is the problem with Lomina’s justification: as an eyewitness to the attack, she didn’t need to “gather evidence” because witness testimony is evidence. Most rape victims don’t have eyewitnesses with them in the room to support their claim of rape which means they can then expect the defense to use a he said/she…

Nope. disagree. If you can’t find a reason to choose one candidate over the other, your participation in a primary is not essential. The general election, however, is, and that is the vote which certain progressive voters are threatening to sit out. I’m looking forward to the coming opinion pieces outlining the pro’s…

Oh I thought you said I could own Marilyn Manson’s fishnets. Now I understand.

I took it to mean she (Garner) won’t allow herself to get “burned” by others.

I remember a second wave feminist argument that drag queens were insulting to woman and that it was essentially a hateful expression. Jezebel feminists, if consistent in outrage, would not celebrate drag as much as they do. That is to say, not every damn thing has to be interpreted with outrage. She put a mustache on…

Now get out there and be the best voter you can be!

I think one of Hillary’s problems is she is not a great campaigner, she know this, she said so herself. But campaigning is what must be done in order to be president, and she wants to be president really, really bad. I think her nerves wind her up and she becomes tight and unnatural.

Depends on whether they made it with cream cheese or ricotta.

I don’t have an answer for you, but if you are young perhaps a look back at early Hillary is in order? I believe she was punished for being herself, learned her lessons the hard way and became extremely guarded as a result. I don’t think she is a focus-group creation, though.

You are unfit to be president.

If that isn’t a show of strength I don’t know what is.

Damn, you go way back in time with that one.

When you think about it, gendered bathrooms traditionally have been self-policed anyway, in the sense that people tend to use their own judgement. For example, when there is a line to the woman’s room some woman will just go into the men’s room and be done with it. Men have reason to be more cautious, but still, there…

But she wasn’t talking about ordinary “juvenile delinquents.” Super-predators refers to violent criminals terrorizing their own communities.
