No, that's still an assumption. The article doesn't indicate that she even made a purchase at H&M after trying on clothes. Would you have more empathy if she lost her ring trying on locally sourced, all natural hemp dashiki's at the co-op?

Is there any indication the diamonds were mined by slaves? Did it ever occur to you that ethical diamonds might cost MORE than blood diamonds. Way to make a shitty assumption about someone based on no evidence though.

So, this story would be ok if an older woman left her expensive ring somewhere by mistake? It was a mistake. Amazing how a woman can leave her children in a 100 degree car to die and everyone rallies behind her as a fucking hero and another woman makes a thoughtless mistake and loses her ring and all the Jezzies…

Way to make assumptions about where the ring came from in order to further blame the victim. Was the ring dressed provocatively too?

Snarky without even being funny. Nothing in this story indicates this girl "deserved" to lose her ring, yet everyone is making comments that imply just because the ring was valuable and she did something thoughtless, she had it coming. Nice bunch of women supporting feminists we have here.

Let's address my "ignorance" about taxation first. Just because a business is a family business does not mean it is exempt from the tax laws that small businesses must adhere to. Your husband's employer is still required to track how much he pays his employees, report to the government, pay into unemployment etc. …

Sorry for the brief reply, but I think the poster outed herself as an asshole so this conversation is probably irrelevant. I do think it's completely unfair to have take incentives for anyone (not just "couples") with children. There are plenty of people who contribute to society in meaningful ways other than…

Yes, mentioning prison was hyperbolic. But her subsequent posts indicate there is more to the story than just her husband not paying income taxes. Personally, I would prefer no income tax and would gladly pay a higher sales tax. I do believe the children are the future, if you teach them well and let them learn the…

Are you serious? You said "tax free" and now you're saying he can't "reap benefits" of the taxes he hasn't paid yet because he's not a citizen? Get your story straight. And it's NOTHING like getting paid in tips as painters get an hourly wage and individuals like servers who make below minimum wage get their taxes…

I love her and she is rad. Forget the haters, cuz somebody loves her and it's me. Maybe we need to stop dissecting every single thing the girl does like she's running for office. She's a pop star doing pop star things, she's beautiful and young and doing her thing and we need to cut her some slack instead of…

Nope. As a child-free person, a good amount of my tax dollars go toward supporting things that benefit people with children. As noted in many of the posts above, having children is incredibly cost-prohibitive, and there seems to be a call for "society" to do something to support families. I already do support…

When you blatantly admit that your husband is not paying income tax because he is working under the table and not contributing income taxes like everyone else, it's pretty hard to feel sorry for you. How about you not have any children until you realize how fucked up it is to expect anyone in society to care about…

A $70 a month nail habit isn't "one hour of your life", it's an extravagance. Fringe shit like this makes for stereotypes and a community unwillingness to help a sister out. If you are on government assistance, you already have someone "taking care of you"...taxpayers. If your beauty indulgence isn't directly…

Um, no. $70 a month on NAILS? I take no issue with a woman needing a good cut/color every once in awhile, but NAILS? No. Nails are something a woman can handle on her own. The very idea of someone spending $70 a month on nails is just plain ignorant. Go buy a bottle of OPI and get your broke ass to tending to…

Something in me is so fiercely protective of Barbie, it seems like no matter what she does, there's people out there trying to take her down a notch. I'm here to say,I love her, I love her clothes and she did NOTHING to make me into the hot mess I am today. People need to stop projecting their issues onto a fucking…

Why? Your takeaway from this was that the price of these glasses was the "shameful" part? Is there a chart that you can provide that documents the price point shame thresholds for other people's purchases that in no way negatively affect you?

So, again, what precisely was weirwoodtreehugger so bitter about? I read what you wrote and understand that you chose to believe that physical attractiveness is not a factor to personal success despite all evidence to the contrary. Absolutely no one is saying that there aren't unattractive people who are successful…

What precisely is weirwoodtreehugger "bitter" about? We get it, you want attention for defining "success" as getting happily married and plenty of women can be happily married without being attractive. Since you're ignoring the well documented statistics indicating attractive women tend to be more financially…
