Horrible. I get so angry when I learn about incidents that could have been avoided with a proper background check. While I understand wanting to give a chance to people and allowing them to redeem themselves from incidents in their past, I have too much experience with repeat offenders doing terrible things…

I don’t think they did. I know they were talking about it, but my roommate never really followed up about it, and was very dismissive of the incident as being disturbing but not worth delving into.

My roommate and her two friends were slipped something by the bartender at the bar they went to recently. The only person who touched their beers was the bartender, and yet they were all disgustingly sick in the morning and couldn’t remember the rest of the night after the first beer. Luckily they were with another…

The NYC private school network is very small and insular. If you have family spread at different schools or who work in fields that interact with a lot of clients and people, that aspect of the city is very, very small.

As far as I am aware it was the show and not Avery. I do know that Avery had friends who appeared on the first season who she apparently began to alienate and act cruel towards as the show continued. However, I’m pretty sure they were in middle school at the time (Avery was the friend of one of my close friend’s…

The school is very, very private about media attention. Ramona was asked to quit the show or send Avery somewhere else.

Dorinda.

The school is very, very private about media attention. Ramona was asked to quit the show or send Avery somewhere else.

I can’t stand Ramona. And last night I was actually taken aback by how horribly she behaved.

A friend of mine was friends with her stepdaughter. Because of that (and because her daughter went to the same school I went to and that Ramona’s daughter went to before they asked her to leave), I have heard some gossip. From what I have heard, which should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, she’s actually…

What... what does it matter? The piece itself is the focus, so why are you wasting multiple posts on the logistics of the illustration?

I watched this show last night for the first time with my mother because she asked me too, and I was home with my parents for the weekend.

I think in this case it might be in the sense that body image is so intrinsic to the way that the media portrays self-worth that saying someone’s whole face needs to be fixed is a pretty heavy attack. I would prefer if she had mentioned bullying in the broader sense, or just shaming in general - that by “fixing”…

That’s pretty presumptive - just because the kids are light-skinned doesn’t mean they’re not biologically related. Genetics are really, really weird.

The one, ONE thing I will say to his defense - speaking in front of the Supreme Court is pretty much the epitome of your career as a lawyer if you’re a litigator. I can’t even imagine the nerves and anxiety he was feeling, assuming he’s a normal guy and not some smug ass. I saw SCOTUS arguments in January with one of…

You know her foreign affairs policy lines up almost exactly with Obama’s, right? Your first paragraph not only makes no sense, it’s patently false. She, and the Clinton Foundation, have done some incredible things.

I’m reaching the end of my first year of law school and I am so burnt out I can barely stand it. I have finals starting Tuesday and I have barely studied, know very few things, feel like I’m drowning. I also can’t figure out if law is the right profession for me, even though I originally chose to go back to school…

It’s not where I’m coming from - it’s the literal Constitution. The President controls who becomes Secretary of State, as that is an Executive power. That’s my point - she is literally the only candidate who has any experience in that field, including being the most recent Secretary of State not currently in power. I…

He has no foreign policy experience, which the only thing the President actually has complete control over. I like him, but I don’t like the his mouthpieces have been making sexist comments lately and I think Hillary is one hundred times more qualified (and actually she seems more intelligent too, when watching them…

Foreign Affairs is really the ONLY thing the President has complete power over as far as the enumerated powers in the constitution goes. Everything else gets vetted in checks and balances. Hands down, she is the ONLY candidate period with foreign policy experience, and that is why I believe we need her.
