So many honour killings are committed by mothers in law, sisters, aunts and mothers. This is a problem that goes way beyond a gender demographic. (How much easier it would be if it didn’t though....)
Feeling the hatred with you sister

All religions are trivialized in some form or another across all mediums. This guy needs to get over himself.

It’s viscerally embarrassing to read. I suddenly feel ashamed of all the obviously, transparently performative emails I’ve written to smart boys in a desperate bid to get laid.

Might want to remind people that Scalia never hesitated to express a political opinion. So there is precedent.

I’m actually impressed with Alex’s ability to stay calm in all of this. Two rules I learned when I grew up in a now open-carry state: “You can’t reason with the unreasonable” and “Assume they have a gun.” This is exactly how you act in this situation when confronted. Keep calm and keep your friends calm.

That’s why the state is the prosecuter, not the victim. It takes anywhere from a year to three years to get to court. In the meanwhile, this woman became homeless because no authority could locate her abuser to make him pay child support. Yet she’s held in contempt?! Yet you think she should be spending her life…

You “had” to find out about breaking news from a major international news agency? I’m sorry, I think your outrageometer is broken.

A police officer is hired knowing that he/she will face dangerous situations. You are basically saying that by just being black, one should live with and accept the fact that the police WILL SHOOT YOU TO DEATH WITHOUT REASON? You’re a tone deaf racist scumbag. So many of you meatbags out there....

He was one of the good ones? Even if he had a record as long as my arm he STILL shouldn’t have been shot!

I’m waiting for the NRA and their new poster boy DOnald Trump to issue a statement about how terrible it is for the police to gun down someone for having a legal handgun in his car. Or for Cliven Bundy et al. to start agitating about federal oppression. I am expecting to wait a very long time.

They had that man on the ground when they yelled gun. They killed him.

And both their body cams “fell off.” The rage and grief are indescribable this morning.

Those two situations are obviously different. Take your dumb false equivalencies elsewhere.

Virginia to Vita:

As the story notes, it is a tactic to keep the plaintiffs from appealing. I see it all the time. The plaintiffs will agree to not appeal, and the claim for fees and costs will be dismissed. And, yeah, you should if you are out 700K for a frivolous claim. I see people all the time bitch about what a sue-happy society…

I always have to laugh at the type of response that amounts to “x group are crybabies that can’t handle shit” and meanwhile can’t see how ridiculous it is that they are so upset and aggrieved over the issue/ change themselves. So, you are a little crybaby bitch, too, right? Like if the name is such an unimportant,…

IT is unutterably sad to me that her parents did not sit her down and make her realize that she did not get in to the college of her choice because she did not earn it. Bottom line. These upper middle class parents need to get real with their offspring: race and money can only get you so far. Granted, it will get you…

I hadn’t seen this comment from Fisher before:

You want to know what broadcasters want to say when criticized by viewers or listeners? “I don’t call you at work to tell you how to flip the burgers, honey.” A meteorologist has studied long and hard for that degree - and having to meet all sorts of appearance expectations from television producers is a pain in the…

You don't have to share every single opinion you have.
