As adult human beings, we're not limited to being outraged about a single thing. We can be outraged about many injustices.

Violence is violence. It's not ok, regardless of who it is against. That was my point. If you think abused women are somehow less worthy of our outrage or concern than abused children or animals, then you have the problem.

Wow, could you BE smugger? We as a society WANT people to be outraged by abuse, because that's what it will take to get real change. If this had been a story about animal abuse or child abuse, there'd be 500 comments expressing this exact level of anger. But when it's adult women, we're all supposed to be measured? …

How much tax money could you possibly be paying, delivering pizzas?

No. Almost all benefits, including Social Security retirement, come on EBT cards now. You're thinking of food stamps, which also come on an EBT card, but are restricted as to how you can spend them.

Single men don't get welfare, asshole. They might get disability if they were unable to work. I'm not sure how you would have found out that anyone was on any kind of government assistance without someone seriously fucking up at their government job. I have way more problem paying the salary of someone who violates…

Missouri State class of '92 would like to invite Princeton Mom to kiss our slightly sagging asses.

Coral and plants don't have hearts and other internal organs. Nor do they have even rudimentary nervous systems, which oysters do. Your friends are misinformed. If they only eat animals that don't have brains, fine. But that's not being a vegan.

I think it's becoming obvious why people can't quit arguing about this issue.

Because they secretly agree with the employee and/or don't want to take a position that would alienate constituents who agree with the employee. Your basic moral cowardice.

When I lived in Turkey, a friend's grandmother had the same experience. She was the most beautiful girl in the village because of her blonde hair and blue eyes. I think it comes from the fact that blue eyes are considered lucky in the Middle East. But those aren't the only features that are considered attractive —…

Yes! Meat butter!

I'm pretty sure that eating oysters and being a vegan are mutually inconsistent.

Yes.

That's an appropriate use of the word. "Female" is an adjective, "character" is a noun. Nobody has a problem with the use of female as a descriptor, it's when the femaleness of the subject swallows up all other attributes, including her humanity.

It's a joke. From You Suck At Craigslist.

"...who claim that big cities are a bit too much..."

"... growing weed and mushrooms in it..."

Brianna Wu, like every American citizen, has the right to petition her congressional representatives for anything she likes. On top of your contention that street racing is perfectly safe and not a danger to other drivers on the road, the fact that you think Wu is entitled to fewer constitutional rights than your…
