You really don’t understand it? I mean, I’d never do it but i’d get it. It’s dangerous and forbidden and risk takers and adrenaline junkies get off on that kind of thing. Not to mention that this is a kid we are talking about. I know when I was 21-22 years old, my decision making was very suspect. Just so happens that…

Adults really need to be told that this is bad?

At this point, I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I believe that those of us who have decided not to procreate should be allotted a climate credit, and tax reduction.

I can see how this is a compassionate move.  This being said, I can also conceive that it might be a slippery slope.

I grew up the same way as a white guy in a small West Texas town but I totally identified with the girls in the movie. I loved it. Still do and ill probably buy the Criterion version.

It’s funny, I never thought about the racial dynamics of Ghost World. Honestly I was just like Enid, I was a very sarcastic bitter teenager (but with brown skin and black hair and hijab). My friends and I would mock other students and we’d cuss out other people. (thankfully I grew the fuck up and I’m not like that…

So what’s your take on the (in my opinion, excellent) “Blues Hammer” scene? It seems me that it’s making a pretty big statement on race.

Thank you, from a fellow raised very religious. I hate when we go after teenagers. Give her a chance to develop outside her community, ffs. Poor thing is also going through an extremely stressful time, in which humans typically fall back on their belief systems and cling. Yelling at her, a frightened young woman who…

She’s 18 and has clearly lived a life surrounded by ardent antichoicers. I think she deserves a little slack. And a lot better education.

I was raised very religious and it takes a long time to get over that kind of brainwashing. I don’t love the fact that she’s anti-choice… But maybe these events will make her realize the hypocrisy of pro-lifers. Once she has that kid… Ain’t none of them supporting her.

The Telegraph:

Reading these angry comments like:

I assumed “first ran” meant 2000. McCain 2000 was sharper, faster and more moderate than McCain 2008. But the he got Karl Roved.

True story: If John McCain were to have been elected President when he first ran. We would all be in a better place right now, regardless of our political leanings.

Better solution: stop calling it “insurance.” I don’t have “insurance.” My son doesn’t have “insurance,” and neither does my wife. What we have is health care. I pay a fee that essentially subsidizes the cost of health-related things, from regularly scheduled doctor’s visits to emergencies to medication. Car insurance…

The fact that we’re actually having (and apparently, are somehow losing) a debate about whether all children deserve healthcare is a sign how completely broken a society we are.

I’m from the NOVA area (sort of, I’m from Winchester, VA, worked in DC for a few years) and I now live in Fayetteville WV (15 min from Beckley). I would not like to live in Beckley, but Fayetteville is an oasis. Very liberal, full of outdoors-people, affordable, gorgeous. The choice of town is crucial when considering…

Um it’s vastly overstated it does happen. Almost all of the multitudes of women I’ve worked around did it to provide for themselves and family. Too bad women I’ve worked alongside have been robbed and fucking raped and not come forward because of the assumption that a Asian woman or couple running a massage parlor is…

So is the “Racing Line” a means of applying a Clothoid Curve path to a Circularly curved piece of race track?
