I am very closely related to people in fashion retail. There is deeply rooted prejudice among designers about women over a size eight. They know very well that the market for designer clothes for bigger women is out there. They don't want to design for women with sizes in the double digits.

Let me clarify then:
I've been to the UK six times. My kid lived there for awhile. I am very familiar with the British attitude that they are free of racism and only Americans can be racist. I have encountered this attitude in France, Germany, Denmark and Italy. This kind of remark, by the way, has always come after I…

I'm done. You are actually implicitly arguing that the economic interests of the UK could not be influenced by racism. You just keep digging deeper.

Did my statement not suggest both discourse with and a familiarity with the the British?

Yes, and we all know the banning of slavery just cleans racism right up!

You really glossed over the moral dimensions of British support of the Confederacy.

I'm extremely familiar with the book and the movie, as, sadly, both were still quite popular in the '70s. Both are pretty much entirely racist. I cannot derive enjoyment from either.

Would to feel this way if the event was being held in the US? The British had a long history in the slave trade.

They can't possibly be racist. There is no racism in the UK. Or so I've been told. Over and over and over and over.

The way you think, it's pretty likely no woman will stick around long enough to care for you when you are an elderly misogynist. That way, you'll have few if any chances that your "golden years" will be infested by feminist bitches.

My sister was 48 and in perfect health. She has low blood pressure, is super fit and has great health insurance.

I was wondering the same thing. I'll bet an awful lot of people have no idea how the original story ends.

Please see my reply to annekatherine. The Gawker link downplays it.

It was worse, as she was being compared, quite negatively, to the Gore daughters. Then he said this (copy and paste job I did here);

Did you see it live? I did. Have you seen the clip? I remember when it happened. Myers and Carvey knew better. There was something extra vicious about it, because TV (and Myers) had greater power back then. That a comedian would pile on like that, on a child, in front of millions of viewers, felt more wrong. Limbaugh…

Mike Myers on SNL was every bit as bad as Limbaugh. I've never forgiven Myers for that. Limbaugh is beneath my concern.

The thing is, he's not bad at all. It's NOT a horrible lapse in taste to love him. I was just having fun about him. I don't get the insane love he inspires, but he's actually pretty cute.
You have my sympathies. My reaction to Idris Elba is the same as yours to Hiddleston. It's embarrassingly intense.

I'll give way on the smile. It is mighty cute.

Hhhmmm. Looks like a fabric wrinkle to me. But, a pretty damn big fabric wrinkle. Yes, indeed.

Penis? Is it his penis? Help me!
