So, grown adults getting married are mature enough to get married, but it should be ok to marry under the false pretense of religion? It has nothing to do with mobs and torches as you astutely pointed out, my guess is that people bow to OTHER people's religious beliefs to get financial backing for their wedding.

That word soup was not the best way to demonstrate your "brain power".

There's a huge difference between faking religious beliefs to avoid persecution and faking religious beliefs to appease family. HUGE. If your family is going to persecute you for marrying outside of the religion, your family is a bunch of dickwads. If your mommy and daddy would be happiest funding a religious…

Please elaborate on this statement. I would like to know what "brainpower" is and am curious as to how it is gauged. I find it rather curious as I quit my MBA program to pursue a Lib Studies Masters because I found MBA students to be, how do you say, illiterate?

Fuck you. Double fuck you. Hold up. You're trolling, nice work fucker. You almost had me.

Tell us a little bit about how you managed to become the successful and highly pleasant individual you are today. It's fine to own being an asshole as your personality, but I'm curious about what it took to make you the arrogant asshole you are today.

Keep your head up girl. As a relatively successful professional with "useless" degrees (BA in English and a Masters in Liberal Studies), my advice to you is don't apologize for calling an asshole an asshole. Fuck dat bitch.

What the fuck is "purchasing' money"?

Forgive me if this comes across as harsh, but are you really saying that you (an adult) and another adult faked religion to make your respective families happy? Seriously? If you're grown enough to make a lifetime commitment, you should be grown enough to have your own beliefs and act accordingly. Are you going to…

I commend your honesty. As a childfree person, I love being the "auntie" figure, but find childcare fucking exhausting and call bullshit on moms who feel compelled to project how fucking great the whole thing is...particularly on social media where it feels like so many moms are trying to convince themselves more than…

Ha, I read it that way too and my first thought was "yeah, people don't chew up all your electric cords, leaving trails of turdlets behind them."

Again, I take back the "dear" snark from this comment, but stand by the remainder of my observations. My bad toots. ;)

And I owe you an apology, it appears that ms. ellen may have started to the "dears" and "sweeties", I didn't pick up on it for a minute, so my bad. I understand the impulse to incorporate a "bless your heart" into that shit. Apologies on that front.

No, "dear"...how dare you defend Islam and then imply that EllenJane need to take her meds? Seriously, where the fuck do you get off? A) Low Blow B)Interesting how concerned how you are about respecting a really fucked up religion and then say something really insensitive about someone's [perceived] mental illness? …

Take your passive aggressive "bless your heart" shit somewhere else. I'm beyond over Southern passive aggressive phraseology that invokes both jesus and blessings to tell someone you disagree with them by being condescending in lieu of a straightforward "I disagree with you and this is why." EllenJane has not…

Why all the dog-piling on you? I'm not finding anything you've stated as intrinsically ignorant and agree with a number of your points. Is this spillover from another Jez article where you said "kill the sandniggers" or something like that? I'm not comprehending precisely why so much vitriol is being directed…

Go Ms. Jones, this white lady is not even going to throw her cards on the table because I believe you you it pretty much fucking covered. You're being very articulate. ;)

So, I've got to be fucking kidding you, but you delete my posts? It's incredibly sketchy that a customer would tip such a large amount and then ask the server to pay out of pocket $500 of it to another diner-FRAUD ALERT. This has nothing to do AT ALL with how evil waffle houses are or aren't or anything to do with…

doesn't matter, the fact that he wanted $500 in cash to go to a 3rd party is suspicious. It would have been really irresponsible to process a transaction of that nature.

Do we all need a lesson in credit card fraud 101? The tip was contingent on giving a random $500 cash from the total. huge red flag.
