Except shame doesn’t work when it comes shutting down aspect of human sexuality. All shame does is drive people underground and cause more harm. Your shame just makes people go across state lines to states where paid surrogacy is legal. Which is why I think an open heavily legislated marketplace is the better…

Yes its the constant playing the victim that irks. You can’t be the empowered crusader and the poor picked on victim. Either you have power or you don’t. Its Taylor’s constant need to play the victim that makes her problematic IMO. She deliberately invokes a tired stereotype of a weak woman who is constantly battered…

Except the best way to slow down the birth rate isn’t being sanctimonious on the internet or shaming women for what they do with their bodies. The single most effective way to reduce the number of children people produce is to give them full unrestricted access to birth control. So instead of being a pain in the ass…

We developed technology to deal with shit though we didn’t take away the urge to do so . Removing basic biological urges has proven all but impossible . We can’t even get paedophiles to stay away from kids with severe restrictions and even medications. Wanting children is one of those basic human drives. What your…

Yeah telling people not have kids is like telling them not to have sex. Its designed to fail for most of the same reasons. If you want to call yourself sex positive and body positive you cannot be anti kid. Shaming someone for wanting a child ins’t any different than shaming someone for being trans or liking sex. Not…

Yeah this seems like a White lady who looked at the extended family model and took all the wrong lessons from it. For one thing the Native (As an Abroiginal person I feel I can speak to that and not the African American version of it as much.) version of the extended family the primary bond between parent and child is…

A lot of strippers in Canada are run as touring groups of performers and are booked and run the same way a band or other entertainment would be. There’s good and bad to this system. It makes it harder to hide profits and not share them to dancers for one. It can make dancers beholden to their bookers and management…

Yeah as a Canadian I find this article slightly entertaining. Not speaking French well is considered a major faux pas by voters even outside Quebec. One of the reasons former Prime Minister Harper never did well in Quebec was because he spoke French at a barely competent level. Its not unheard of for politicians in…

Sometimes racism is a tone or an attitude not specific words. The gas station attendant on This is Us is a good example of that. Or the lady I spoke to on the phone the other day who made some very sarcastic remarks about diversity. On paper what she said was polite to me it made my blood boil.

Technically gelatin can be kosher as long as as the animal it was harvested from was killed in accordance with Jewish law. The presence of meat itself doesn’t make something not kosher unless there is also dairy. Which wouldn’t be the case with dry roasted peanuts.

Eggs are a good source of protein for those who need to add it to their diet but still don’t want to kill anything to do it. Plenty of vegetarians eat eggs.

Except there is no way Taylor or her people never got a heads up about this article. There is no way a star this big who has built a career by manipulating the media isn’t in control of the narrative here.  She is also not saying a word about her fans racism just as she was silent when her fans were posting about…

Yeah and Swift has a history of trying to take down black men for her own gain. I doubt if this was a mainstream white artist there would be this any think peices. (Unless it was Katy Perry maybe)

This exactly. Its also why I don’t like Taylor Swift in general. There has always been something very entitled about her and her stans. Not to mention she is once again trying to gain from taking down a black man. If the number one spot was held by say Little Big Town or Ariana Grande I doubt any would be complaining…

I half wonder if this isn’t intended as a veiled threat to Universal so they will let go of the rights to Marvel at Universal Studios. The rights for The Simpsons are up for renewal soon and I’m sure with the plans for Marvel Land in Anaheim Disney would like to do the same for Orlando. 

This person is an asshole who should not work with the homeless. They should set up a psychic hotline since apparently they can read minds and are clearly heartless. This is just bootstrap bullshit that tries to sound wise. 

Except there is a certain percentage of homeless people who avoid these organisations because either the help comes with a side of religious indoctrination or insist you follow certain steps like drug treatment to continue receiving their services. Some homeless people don’t want to get off the street and they still…

Actually it entirely possible this guys father was sane and had no existing mental illness. Some Nazi guards simply didn’t see their captives as human. Some were afraid of ending up in camps themselves if they objected. Some were simply weak willed and never questioned orders. Scariest of all were the ones who truly…

I suspect it depends on the market actually. Also if character homes are considered a premium in your market. If you live in a city where a Victorian is considered a rare gem and automatically add a hundred grand to the price you could probably make bank. However if Victorians are rare as dirt in your area and…

Cleopatra was ethnically Greek and actually was white. Her father family were Greeks who moved into the area following Alexander the Great. Its possible her mother wasn’t white but its unlikely that her enemies wouldn’t have used it to insult her at some point if that was the case.
