While I won't deliberately hate someone who was gleefully mean to me in grade school, middle school or high school, I will never pretend that youth means ignorance of right or wrong. I didn't like everyone I went to school with, but I also knew that it was wrong to intentionally inflict pain on others for my own…

Because you spend all your money on your military whilst failing to stop your children dying at birth, your children attending crumbling schools, your old people dying in poverty, your police officers killing with impunity or your citizens shooting each other in work places, school and in the streets. I'd rather have…

Do you know what is awesome about the USA? You force all other countries to sign up to things like the Human Rights Charter and sign up to the jurisdiction of the International War Crimes Tribunal but refuse to do so yourselves so that you can continue to execute people for crimes they committed as kids and so your…

All cocks are penises, but not all penises are cocks, IMO.

Cock, cunt and fuck always struck me as a complete set. All equally succinct and visceral. I can see how some would find them a bet aggressive.

As a guy, I think "cock" is sexier than "dick," it has a fuller sound (dick has that thin "i" sound, and no one wants their penis to sound thin), but I realize I might be a minority here, and I guess women might feel better saying "dick" vs. "cock." I suppose "cock" is a little bit dirtier or whatever.

Personally, I'm hoping they pee on the bride. I suspect some of the poor bridesmaids are side-eyeing this as hard as we are...

Pee at a minimum. The karmic penalty for using other people's scared pets as your 'royal wedding fantasy' props should be a canine execretory extravanganza-fueled drycleaning bill of epic proportions. Incorporate your own pet in your wedding if you must, but leave innocent corgis alone!

Yup, same in France, which has a huge number of McDos. Most of the ingredients have to come from France and otherwise from the EU. Huge taste difference, and the employees are paid a fair wage, so it comes down to an argument over le fast food vs. real food.

Now that's a family that actually deserves a fucking TV show.

Another moment of Einstein being wonderful:

"Do not laugh at me for writing without having anything sensible to say."

Can we talk about how talented Marie Curie's entire family is? Her daughter and her daughter's husband were awarded another Nobel prize, for the discovery of artificial radioactivity! And Marie Curie's grandchildren are also esteemed scientists. Her granddaughter is a professor of nuclear physics at the University of…

Plus ca change... What a lady though - to this day the only person to win a Nobel prize in two fields( chemistry and physics) and also clearly raised some smart women too as one of her daughters won a Nobel Prize as well. A true pioneer :-)

That is awesome. I had a Marie Curie autobiography as a child that I read until the binding fell apart.

Best postscript in a personal letter, ever.

Is this where we're at? Peeing is "time theft"? What about other human activities that are necessary or unavoidable, like sneezing? Do I need to deduct my blinking time from my timesheet — after all, if my eyes are closed, even for a millisecond, that's time I could have been working but wasn't.

Probably because like most people she can't just pick a job out of a hat and suddenly be employed. People work where they have to work.
