Lifting the text word-for-word from another source (here, the NY Daily News) is commonly known as plagiarism and will get you expelled from any self-respecting university.

Never said you were mean just that you were being mean! I think Kim could just use a break. I know she's not 100% perfect all around and sometimes doesn't make all the best decisions or whatever but I don't think she deserves ALL of the things said about her. Give her a break ! She's pregnant and doesn't like it !…

I’m told it’s common among rural white people (me), some black people, and southerners. To me it sounds sweet and a little respectful, without the full-on formality of Miss/Ms./Mrs. Lastname.

But you are calling them dumb. The widespread use of first names for adults is a very upper middle class white convention and reflects how there are a lot of people whose power is assumed a priori. Other people come into these conversations from different power positions and different and often more marginalised…

I said I agreed with you on the gender issue but I disagree on your dismissal of honorifics and what they mean, especially cross culturally.

I’m getting tired of hearing “abortion is only a small part of what Planned Parenthood does” and the classifying of which PP clinics provide abortions and which don’t. Even if Planned Parenthood was an industrial abortion factory that offered all abortions 24/7, it is still a legal procedure. It is still an important…

This is so fucked up. I’ve been listening to the Death, Sex, and Money podcast’s series on this and it’s stunning* to me how this country can still turn its back on entire cities of people while they suffer and then try to scrub their existence clean once the citizens attempt to make their homes habitable again.

this is a horrible thing to say. please do more research about depression and suicide, it has nothing to do with how observant you choose to be, but plenty to do with folks judging those extremely personal choices just like this.

I know you’re posting in earnest, and I know that you are a regular commenter (and I am just a lowly mostly-lurker), but I wish you would consider that you come across as kind of judgmental in the way you’ve approached this thread. It’s okay that you are in an upper middle class bubble where most people you know never…

I feel like neither of those thoughts demonstrate either empathy or compassion for a fellow human being and her family who are, it seems, going through some rough shit. I like a contrarian as much as anyone else, but come on.

Alright, I agree, but people try to make false equivalencies and I don’t think Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton are relevant to the discussion of Huckabee’s place in the GOP. Just saying. I’m happy to have that debate with whomever but others (not pointing the finger at you) deflect from this issue by turning it into…

Excuse me, I think you are forgetting about prominent pro-choice candidate George Pataki, who is sometimes polling as high as 1% nationally!

This is a former governor and Fox television host. He’s not making some crazy rant on the internet. He is the Republican party. He is not a moron. He is a cruel, calculating man in a position of power.

That made me so angry too. Like, get the fuck over it, not everyone feels guilty about their abortions. This is obviously a harmful stereotype and I wish it would die already.

One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.

His rationale for such a decision is two-fold Huckabee explained, it protects both fetus and mother: “There are two victims. One is the child; the other is that birth mother who often will go through extraordinary guilt years later when she begins to think through what happened — with the baby, with her.

No.

Her actions are horrible and deserve to be criticized fully. Treating them as “lol ridiculous little girl” actions is minimizing them and not criticizing them as fully as they should be. Her action/statement is no less serious because she’s a 19 year old woman. Let’s treat them as seriously as we would if it were a…
