But poor people have to be punished for having sex, by being forced to raise children in substandard conditions and perpetuate their hardship, creating a permanent underclass from which there is no escape.

@profdragon Why the Yoda-speech?

Does the short, scrawny guy have huge feet? Because there's your answer.

Brandon Lee?

Your heedless pessimism for this film was slowly constructed by this photograph?

There's a GPK card for that.

I love Art Spiegelman and I love PES. I never knew Garbage Pail Kids were created, but I instantly hate them, and am sad that this the only theatrical outlet for two such talented artists.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable defense. Who gives a shit if Jon Stewart asks Kerry tough questions? No one's expecting deep insights from his show, and they don't place particular weight on any insights that do come to light. As opposed to Crossfire, a news show that sold itself as revealing the hard, cold truth…

I've never heard of feminists objecting to the very existence of plastic surgery. It's the shallow and dehumanizing STANDARD they want to abolish. Women can get all the collagen and implants they want, they just shouldn't be made to feel like they have to. Nor, for that matter, like they aren't allowed to.

Gives a whole new meaning to The Vagina Monologues.

What's wrong with fucking dead people up the ass?

The Chasing Amy Solution never works in real life. Or in Chasing Amy, for that matter.

I don't get the conflation of the two terms. Sluts have sex for fun, prostitutes have sex for money. They're as diametrically opposed as shooting range enthusiasts and soldiers.

The only time I recall Stewart using that defense was when Tucker Carlson criticized him for not asking John Kerry hard-hitting questions, not because he had said anything particularly outrageous.

Women who have plastic surgery can't oppose sexism? I don't get it.

"Period."

Pale Ink hunt.

Whoa whoa, I know they consider abortion to be like manslaughter, but contraceptives? Don't those, you know, prevent conception, thus acting before the sperm hitting the egg magically and suddenly causes the existence of a living soul?
