I love the Report, too, but do you really want him to have to play the character for the rest of his career? I think it's entirely possible that he's tired of people thinking he's an ignorant right winger.

A few of my friends have opted for the "I like this designer, these are my wedding colours, pick one of the [pick a] length dresses". I really like this, and if I end up getting married will probably utilise it, because then everyone gets something they're comfortable in, whether it's strapless or v-neck or whatever.…

Yeah, I realized after I typed it that it wasn't the best parallel... mostly I just wanted to make bigots angry. And yes I agree about the Jesus thing.

Good for Boomer. That's a REAL apology, not the usual "sorry if I offended anyone" fauxpology that has become the refuge of those who say dumb stuff.

Wow... Women can give birth and become fat and their bellies sag and their husbands love them anyway. Men can lose their legs in war and their wives will love them anyway. See what I'm getting at? When you love someone, something may happen to them, whether it's age, biology, or sickness that makes them less outwardly…

Welcome to the club. Complete strangers will feel free to stereotype you and your partner. I don't even bother to react anymore and say outrageously hateful stuff to or about you. If your relationship is good, you know that better than anyone else, and that's all that matters. Take comfort in the knowledge that it is…

I think the threshold for "big deal" and "such a pill" has been unrealistically and unfairly lowered.

I'm giving myself an Adult Award this week because the other day I asked a guy out, he said he wasn't interested, we had a conversation about it, and now we're going to continue being friends and I feel good about it.

If feminism is about giving women the options to succeed in whatever they want to do and this book gives women in one particular field the tools to do just that, then the book is feminist. The idea that being a feminist means being anti-capitalist is an artifact of feminism's incubation in academia.

Exactly...and honestly, I'd never heard of this among Italian-Americans UNTIL I movd to the Northeast, so I think what we're talking about here is a tradition that is practiced among a subset of Italian-Americans based in the Northeast, but not all Italian-Americans in the Northeast. So, a cultural subset of a…

Boy, isn't it hard when people make fucking assumptions and generalizations, huh?

So you sound like you really don't have an response. Sounds like you'd rather feel self-righteous than actually think of how we solve social issues. Enjoy your ivory tower, Ossifrage and remember, your self-righteous outrage is not helping anyone, including people who have been sexually abused by the church and those…

Because, such an organization, which has currently about a billion members, has a very mixed legacy of both vile moral abuses and significant social justice and intellectual contributions. They have a significant influence and are a core part of millions of peoples identities and as a large institution, I think they…

They don't understand that there are people who believe in reforming large institutions from within. I know this. I worked in the criminal justice system. I disagreed with it and thought there were serious problems—that's part of the reason I stayed, because they need those alternative voices. So does the Catholic…

The fact that this comment received so many likes makes me sad. Can we have a reasonable discussion about something Catholic-related without automatically retreating to highlighting the Church's failures in the child molestation scandal? The Church's leadership and infrastructure have major problems, yes, we know,…

I wish you good luck in changing the landscape of the Catholic church but you seem to be outnumbered in terms of ability to speak for the Church. I have encountered many nuns that seems to live up to their marriage to Jesus but in my experience with the Church the guys are assholes and say the weirdest creepiest…

I've been referred to as a Yankee before. There was no doubt that the person meant it in an insulting & derogatory manner. But the best response to 'damn Yankee' I've found is 'damn straight!' No one can make me feel bad about beimg a Masshole.

I hate my boobs. They're too big, they get in my way, and they receive way too much unwanted attention. If I was in Angelina's position, with the same risks, I would definitely have come to the same conclusion.
