What was the political nature of this bombing? I haven't heard anything about this in the news yet. You must have a direct line to the FBI because you know more than the rest of us. So far, the press is speculating that their Chechen background played into their decision to commit the bombings, but nothing has been…

You can commit a heinous act against soft targets without being a terrorist. See: any number of school shootings (Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Newtown to name a few); the Aurora shootings; or the DC Sniper.

Technically, terms like "Caucasian" don't mean shit because race is a human construct and race has been a fluid line in the sand that we draw between Us and Them. It wasn't too long ago that the Irish were not considered white. That just goes to prove that the idea of "race" is arbitrary and self-serving.

You're right. Holmes shot people in a movie theatre for no good reason other than he is crazy. These two set up bombs, and we don't know their motives yet. What we do know is that they were born somewhere else and have hard to pronounce last names.

You can do modified pushups on your knees, and planks on your knees. There's sit ups, and you could do pelvic thrusts or donkey kicks, too. Lots of stuff to do while keeping off your toes. You could even do squats since your weight is supposed to be in your heels and off your toes anyway.

You say this like it's a bad thing. Staying inside never killed anyone...unless you put up an air-tight sealer around your windows and doors.

I've had friends ask me if I knew of any men I could set them up with and I honestly don't. If you are the friend being asked to play match maker, you really don't want to accept that position unless you are positive two individuals would make a phenomenal couple. Just imagine the fall out you'd be in for if one or…

Try to keep it simple. Europeans are so much classier than us. Buy a few staples, like the chambray shirt you were talking about, a white button in a sexy fit, a little black dress, and make sure you bring the accessories, e.g. a statement necklace, cool sunglasses, maybe a hat for the beach, some kick ass pumps,…

Hello fellow "bitch". It's taken me about 15 years to figure out how to deal with this, and here is the answer to every problem you will ever have in your life: bake. Any time I think someone is mad at me or I want to extend an olive branch, I will bake something. This doesn't work with strangers, but it is a big…

That's not racist. /sarcasm

P.S. If you want my dumb advice, I would abort if I were you. You're only 24 and you have PLENTY of time to have a kid later on. You mentioned you want to travel, and I think you should. At 24, you have just finished your bachelor's two years ago. Maybe you are just finishing your master's? Maybe you are taking…

You have to do what you feel is the right thing for you. Do you want a baby? Are you prepared for a baby? Don't worry about what your friends will think or how you'll measure up to them. Just think about what you want. If we were having this conversation 70 years ago you'd be considered an old maid for being 24…

I don't like this at all. This sounds like she's advocating burying your head in the sand because reality is tough and ugly. Looking at gruesome pictures isn't "using people". Life happens, and you need to put on your big girl panties and deal with it. It isn't comfortable, and it isn't fun, but it's truth and…

Farrah got her Associate's degree in restaurant management. I think her parents have enough money to open up a restaurant in her poduk hometown if they wanted. I'm guess Farrah and her mom were on the outs when she decided that this porn tape was her last viable career option. What's really interesting about this…

Let's face it; they wouldn't be 16 *and* pregnant if they didn't have mental/emotional problems.

Can I get an abridged version of why Farrah felt compelled to do a porn?

When I first read this, I read this as "Lindy, you should get behind a camera and make your "Fuck That" column a weekly feature, like how they do on local TV news shows," but then I got to the part about "Chechnya as a have of potential American terrorists". :/

I thought he was more of an Asian Elvis Presley because all his dance moves involve a lot of hips.

There's nothing wrong with being the submissive person in a relationship, but there is something VERY wrong in assuming that because you are the woman you have to be submissive one. I don't want that kind of public discourse. I don't want people to assume because I don't cook and clean I'm some kind of broken women,…

I see why people would find this assignment upsetting. Moving forward, what would be a good writing prompt for persuasive writing? The criteria being that it has to be a position that no reasonable person would back.
