You really wanna go there? Blame a whole country for a priest who seems to be stuck in the medievals? When you are presumably from a country where one man, who in comparison makes this priest look like the voice of reason, will have the backing of +40 % of all voters come next Tuesday!?

I am sure that a more liberal side to Morocco exists, but you can’t guarantee these girls will be OK. Even in more liberal countries, people are still raped in prison. Even in countries where gay marriage is legal, parents still throw their gay kids out on the street, send their own kids to torture camps to make them

And those empty platitudes serve one purpose: to make people who spew that shit feel better about themselves and more secure that no bad shit will happen to them.

Bless him for telling the truth. The euphemisms around death are are not helpful. They’re insipid.

Trump will never be elected president ‘cause the American people know that electing Trump is like trying to use a croissant as a fucking dildo: it doesn’t do the job and it makes a fucking mess! I’m voting for the Republican, Hillary.

And this happened because of no particular religion at all!

You can’t be mad at the mother because.....ummm.....you know, multiculturalism or some stupid shit like that.

Welcome to most of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Where is the spin? Seems pretty straight-forward.

She’s more concerned with her “honor” than her daughter.

The “all women are up for sleeping with other women” thing isn’t inclusiveness. It’s just straight male fantasy.

Exactly. It’s embarrassingly bad right now and has been for two seasons. I doubt many people are disappointed it won’t be returning until January. Shonda Rhimes shows always jump the shark early.

They both just look like moderately attractive people from the next floor down in your office building. The insurance office, where it’s not all that difficult to be best-looking.

Thank you, you perfectly nailed everything that irritates me about this film. Plus the fact that Emma Stone still makes movies with Woody Allen and is totes fine playing Asian characters and is so forcefully presented as CHARMING in every outing. And Ryan Gosling is...ok? Not my speed? And I still don’t understand why

I am as tired of a Stone and Gosling pairing as I am of a Lawrence and Cooper pairing. At least make them swap. Yawn.

Agree with you on all but the healthy independent of weight canard. Obesity is not healthy. No matter what we’d wish.

You’re glossing over the fact the size 14 of yester-year is today’s size 4. People are getting fatter and not necessarily healthier as a result. I don’t really agree with the OP that it’s similar to other things like Spanish menus (?) or asking people to reuse towels (??), but someone also mentioned that we should try

Isn’t the elephant in the room (sorry) the fact that plus size is the new normal, particularly in the Midwest and the South?

yep. it’s why I don’t (and won’t) have kids. I know firsthand how utterly vicious and evil they can be towards each other.

It took until I was a senior in college to finally “let go” of all the anger and sadness I had from the bullying I dealt with as a child (and mine wasn’t as bad compared to other classmates). I can’t imagine what it’s like nowadays.

At least when I got home, I could hide away and play video games to forget.

I’m also
