Are you trying to defend underage sex? That’s...not a good hill to die on.

I mean, this entire article is about them cancelling the show exactly because of that major breach in ethics. So, yeah, you’re not the only one who found this FUBAR. Apparently, the network did, too.

I read it because I wanted a deeper insight into the issue.

The interview with the woman who had the abortion was one of the best things I read all year - on any site - and I’m so glad it reached that many people.

I wonder if some of these pastors are aware that Jesus was a middle-eastern Jew and not northern European?

A pastor in California is part of a faction of Christians upset about Octavia Spencer’s role as God in the movie adaptation of William P. Young’s controversial 2007 novel The Shack. Spencer is black, you see, and God is a white man.

“Whiteness” is a construct designed by a particular group of people in order to exclude particular other groups and deny them their rights. It has been used to mean or to exclude a variety of people of varying skin tones and ethnic backgrounds, depending on what was convenient at the time. “Blackness” is also a social…

I can’t decide if you are very young or just very weird.

I have smoked weed since I was 15 and never had an issue, but less than a year after taking oxy for the first time I was scoring dope in the streets. Been off that shit for 4 years but still get scared over what might have become of me.

Congratulations on your sobriety. My partner took prescribed opioids for about 4 months and it nearly wrecked our marriage (and plumbing) the personality changes and mood swings were hell. He luckily got surgery and was able to wean off. He says he’ll never take them again

Fuck this.

Unbelievable. If I recall correctly, from what I’ve read the whole “opiophobia” bullshit was used in the US in the 90s and is part of what got us into this whole disaster currently.

Fucking evil bastards haven’t killed enough people here?
