I wrote this as a member of the minority group I am discussing, pointed out that people don't mean it badly and suggested that it might be time to retire the term. If you're part of the same minority group and disagree, fine. But if you're not, how is this post not appropriate?

Referring to a member of a minority group as if they represent all members of said group is dehumanizing.

Excellent. I have been waiting for the Ed Gein collection to be released. I have some lamp shades I crafted myself, but I could never get enough "material" for a full pouf.

Woah now, I am chill. I was just saying that by your logic as long as he was holding the baby correctly, pointing a gun at its head would be a non-story. It seems to me that what you're really saying is that you don't care about it because it's an animal. It's totally within your rights not to give a shit, but based…

The only thing that stops a fucking dumbass no-nuts with a gun, is a sharpshooting cat with a gun.

The solution is to arm the cat.

I saw John Bradley (Sam Tarly) at a fan event not long ago. Someone asked him to say what was the best part of being on GoT in five words or less. Without missing a beat he replied "Kit Barrington's. Big. Brown. Eyes."

It's not the kids I dislike, it's the parents of those dislikable kids

I have always known kids were not for me, even when I was little, I couldn't stand them.

I'm in the 'sans kids' camp. I've just never had a paternal instinct, never wanted kids, and I'm not really comfortable around kids younger than about 10-12ish, especially not babies.

I'd never presume to say what the overall best choice would be, but for me, no kids is the way. I have two stepsons, and while they are cool kids, I do not generally like children. Actually, "generally" doesn't quite cut it. I can't bloody stand 99% of the children I encounter, but this is just my life choice and I'd…

I'm pretty sure Mayor McCheese is the only one in McDonaldland with the authority to officiate weddings.
