This post is about a single young woman in India whose family had the means to even put her in school to begin with (compulsory education in BRICS and developing nations is still sometimes prohibitively expensive). It's not par for the course in India and it doesn't provide a moral lesson for people in poverty in…

Thank you. that is exactly what I was saying. People are intelligent, beautiful and sometime both. And while they are qualities we all wish we had, it is those that bring joy to others and lessen suffering that hold a place of admiration in my mind. I admire people who meditate every day, who are at peace with life…

Maybe her parents are role models for sacrificing so much for their child. But someone is born with intelligence the same way that someone is born with good looks. It takes a lot of work to attain degrees, but so does staying attractive. Both are superficial things you get or not get in the lottery of dna.

Kudos to the current membership making a stink about this. It's the alums that are resisting change.

Bingo.

"Society" wanting to kill someone doesn't make it right.

And do all the cocaine! :D

Yes I suspect the numbers would be about the same here.

I don't really understand workings of chemical castration, but rendering rapists "incapable of sexual desire" seems like a dubious solution because rape isn't about "desire" it's about power. Does curbing sexual impulses really help? does it curb control and violence impulses as well? These men in India used a rod—you…

Cruelty — physical and mental torture, like castration — has no part in true justice. It redeems nothing. It brings nothing.

I wouldn't call Kiran Bedi a human rights activist. She's a politician who previously was warden of Delhi's Tihar Jail and did very good work reforming the jail. Human rights activists generally don't support the death penalty. Here's an anti-death penalty statement from a prominent Delhi human rights lawyer: http://…

If that's meant to troll the troll, you're doing a splendid job, username and all.

I have a completely unsupported theory: successful men in their 30s are at the closing end of their "living i up" phase and will soon be looking to settle down; and they want to settle down with a young fresh thing who will make a good wife and mother and a pretty accessory to show up with in their social circles.…

When I got divorced at age 33 I initially tried to date women my age and stopped fairly quickly when nearly every first date turned into an interrogation designed to figure out if I was going to want to settle down and get married again and start making babies. I felt like I was trying to date to have fun while women…

Who IS this? She is so, so deeply naive and aggressively ignorant, I just...!

head cannon accepted. i'll go get my tin foil..

(think about it. not ONE joke about his "art"? his college education that he slept through? [literally and figuratively] that's kind of unbelievable since that's the FIRST joke everyone goes to when you mention franco.)

Yeah yeah save the vitriol... I'm no fan of the NYPD at all (probably called them Fascists a few times myself), but the point is pretty obvious here: prevent copycats. Afroduck basically encouraged it, and when you start to have more people racing around NYC with impunity, you're bound to have something bad happen…

Thank you! The credits listed over 10 "writers" (didn't count when I was watching, but it was a significant chunk of text)

"Glorifying weight loss?" Really?
