"I'm sorry I badgered, bullied, and threatened you into an abortion you didn't really want to have" is leagues away from "I'm sorry I didn't save MY child."

It would really depend on when during Egyptian history this story takes place(I have no idea because I am uncultured) as Egypt was invaded many times, with a lot of people no doubt coming in from the middle east(Assyrian & Persian invaders to name just a few).

That being said you should be more upset by the author for…

I don't know. I was kind of impressed by:

99% of the time, the parents either expect to stay or are expected to stay. When I've asked if I can drop my 8-year-old off at the bouncy house joint for a birthday party, I am met with blank stares and incredulity. Ugh.

Wait, they were going to let their kid go to a thing where they had no contact information? Here, take my kid for a couple hours! No, no. I don't need to know how to get a hold of you. I'm sure it will all work out and he'll live through this experience.

I think sending an invoice (#1) by way of the kid (#2) are both ridiculous things to do. But I also think that the parents who had "no contact info" are also full of shit, especially when the party was at a ski resort. If the party were at their house, failing to RSVP wouldn't be so bad, but it was at a ski resort and…

I do really think this may have been written by a child. Or a grown man to talks to grown women like they're children.

I'm with the "this is fake" crowd. There have been too many inconsistencies and unbelievable twists and turns.

This one, right? The narrative really starts to slip. I don't believe a word of this.

There's a third post that isn't linked from the second. It's so precise in its details that it's probably BS.

Agreed completely.

Why is it that slash fans are constantly having to answer for and made to feel shame for enjoying something that doesn't conform to the mainstream, male-dominated pop culture motifs and cliches.

This has been on my mind lately as well, and for me it really comes down to fully developed characters, and the fact that most female characters in media sort of suck.

On an individual level someone (of any gender or orientation) can be intrusive or rude to actual people and make them uncomfortable, but in terms of slash, it is definitely not the equivalent of straight male obsession with lesbians. At all.

But the kids are the narcissists, riiiight...

Opiate of the masses, indeed!

I didn't say you need religion to be evil. However, I'm a student of history and history is not kind to religion.

More like not long enough. This kind of shit can easily get someone killed. Cops also have some weird obsession with shooting dogs whenever one approaches them, so between those two things this isn't even close to enough.;l

I firmly believe swatting should be prosecuted as attempted murder. One of these days, the shtf and someone dies. Throw the book at them and show that this sort of thing will not be tolerated.
