Ideals are fine but policy and social norms need to be made for the world we live in not the one we want. Change happens slowly and incrementally. Trying to rush things causes more problems than it solves. Generalizations can help as long as they are about finding root causes not just papering things over. To use your…

The problem I have with this is that it ignores a couple of facts. For one the fact than men are on average larger and stronger than women. Social pressure tend enforce the idea that men should be bigger than their female partners so exceptions to that tend to be rare. For another the patriarchy affords men…

Realistically if she wants to make money as a recording artist she pretty much has to tour. There really isn’t much money in albums for musicians these days. Its also hard to effectively promote albums without touring.

I feel like their are socio-economic factors in play with eating disorders though too. I suspect its probably more prevalent at certain income levels. Which is why your getting such a wide variety of answers in this thread. When food is scarce it affects your relationship with it obviously. That’s why its not heard of…

Does it not occur to them that half the time utility rack just comes with the fucking car? Or are part of a bonus package that includes something else that this person wanted? Or that utility racks really just amount to more storage space which might be really useful to someone has to travel with a wheelchair or any…

Yeah my mom nearly died because her cousin tied her to the sled and she slid right into the river. She was just lucky the ice broke where it was still shallow and she didn’t slide too far under the ice.

I actually think she looks a fair bit like Janet. They have the same cheekbones and jawline even thier build is similar. One of the pics of Paris in profile from that Rolling Stone shoot actually made me think of the Together Again video. Paris just also has her mothers European nose so it throws people off.

I’ve using Benefits They’re Real with Clinique sample as a base. The clinique seperates really well and Benefit lengthens. Although you could probably just use a lash primer if you don’t have Clinque bonus addiction the way I do.

The funniest part of this is Cheney expression. He’s like “I could help him but,,,” . Or perhaps “and people say Trump is an idiot”. This is the first thing that has actually made me fell better. Afterall if George “literally cannot operate a fucking plastic bag” W Bush managed to be president and not end the world…

By some measures she would be. Shania might be short on Native DNA but having an aboriginal father meant she had a lot of Aboriginal experiences. She also has a status card which means as for as the Canadian government is concerned she is Aboriginal.

Acknowledging your roots and appropriating a culture are two separate things though. Most of the Generokee types don’t seem understand the difference. People who are suddenly claiming to be Aboriginal based on line on a page are the assholes IMO. DNA test results do not change who you are or what you have experienced.…

Considering that Boyden was adopted (and most likely Scooped) I don’t really have an issue with him claiming native roots even if he is fuzzy on what those are. Its really the only way for him and other’s like him to heal. I also have to point out that you can have native experience in your life without always being a…

I never said she was an angel I just pointed out a serious flaw in your assessment of Jolie’s character. Since we are discussing a celebrity niether of us have met I don’t think either of us could state definitively what she is like either way. I just think my assessment of Jolie is made of a broader picture while…

An unkind indecent person would not do the charitble work Jolie does. They would be making lame comercials back in LA and signing checks in exchange for bigger recognition. If she was truly cold or as unbalanced as you say she is there is no way for her to do the work that she has done for the UN. Someone crazed and…

Let me add that to the pile of evidence that Harper is a fucking moron so I can point it out next time my idiot relatives start snarking on Trudeau.

Given the shitshow that was her parents divorce and how fucked up things got with her dad, I can see her thinking the kids are better off with just her. Then again is Hollywood Life even ONTD basically thinks of them as fanfic, so I would take this story with a grain of salt.

Not officially, segregation in Nova Scotia wasn’t defined legally the way it was in the US. That’s why she wasn’t charged with breaking anything other than a tax law.

I loved my Mukluks and I missed them  (my current boots are not high enough for this blizzard. They actually got so snow in them on Tuesday I had trouble taking them off). The other caveat I find with mukluks is the traditional variety (without the rubber sole) have very little arch support or padding at all. Its not…

As a Winnipegger I find this test slightly lacking, as you rarely encounter just sheer ice even here. Rough ice or worst of ice under a thin layer of snow is more common and pose different challenges. Also you can wear shoes that aren’t hiking boots and be warm and stay upright Just make sure you get %100 rubber…

It could also be Angelina is manipulating the situation because Brad has a substance abuse issue and threats are the only way to keep him compliant. I also feel the need to point out that Angelina would only be able to threaten Brad with exposure if he actually has something to hide. I’m not saying Angelina is a saint…
