Considering how alarmist they are about a simple petition, and the use of phrases like "rabid homosexual activists", I would say I agree that the Duggars are "fear mongering" and ignorant. I hope they realise that statistically at least one of their 19 kids horribly named children is probably gay.

I can't speak to what you are saying about your coworker, but the point about "stealing" a child really irked me. In an adoption case where a child has living parents, but is residing in the orphanage, the parents have to consent to giving up their parental rights for the child to be adopted. It's not like foreign

I used to work in an orphanage in an impoverished area of south India. Most of the children there had parents, and would even go stay with them on the weekends or go help for a few months if their parents had farms and needed help, but it was all really regulated. Full time a lot of these families couldn't afford to

Piers Morgan is a professional troll, as exemplified by these tweets. Stop feeding him and he will hopefully disappear.

um, the way that this woman spends her money is none of your business. If she wants to find her dog she can spend as much as she wants to get her family member back.

What is it about hot high school boys and DMB? I still know all the words to "Satellite" because it was my crush's favourite song, he used to play it on his acoustic guitar in the library during lunch break, like everyday. Sigh...

If we go by the really old school rules, i.e. the reason why the engagement ring exists as a thing, then the woman should always keep it if the couple had sex. From my understanding, the original concept of the engagement ring was that once a couple was betrothed no one really expected them to keep their pants on, so

I would point out that the only one of Mama June's children that isn't obese, is her daughter that she didn't raise; for reasons we all now know. You can't blame her children's size on genetics, this is purely a lifestyle problem. Obviously, the more important aspect of this story is the fact that her children have

Whom did they impact other than the president of the University? I would say $471 is a fair price for him to pay for not taking actions to protect his student population from sexual assault, to their detriment.

I don't think the implication was that the housekeepers clean it up for free, I think the reason people are offended is because a university with an incredibly large endowment have chosen to take punitive action against a rape survivor whom they revictimized by finding her rapist (who was also accused of raping two

Does that mean that Emma Sulkowicz has stopped carrying the mattress around campus? I thought that she was going to continue to carry it while she had to attend the same university as her rapist, does that mean that her rapist has graduated/ left the university? I'm just really curious, I've been following this story

I thought that it was one of those things that everybody knew but nobody talked about, sort of like Woody Allen (until recently). I think for a lot of people it came down to the fact that they watched Bill Cosby whilst they were growing up, and it's hard to believe that their pudding loving hero was a rapist. I will

It was a joke... hello?

I once flicked my husband in the balls, by accident, and he full on couldn't get up afterwards. I felt so guilty... but powerful.

Yikes, I just skimmed over that reddit. I think after reading all of this I will have permanent cringe face. When I opened this article I thought it was going to be about people cheating with their significant other's sibling, not their own.

That's probably the nicest thing to ever happen in Wigan, ever.

Not all men .... major eye roll.

I also live in Scotland, in Glasgow to be specific, and the street harassment here is worse than anywhere else I have experienced (I've lived in many different places over the past decade). It's pretty much all white men, they do more than just catcall, a lot of the men here think it's within their rights to touch and

I thought she was wearing a hat.

Haha, our teacher used to read us those in our after school program. Now that I think about it, it was probably wildly inappropriate, but we would beg her to read us them. They were so good, and so so scary!
