One of the officers kept repeating, "stop resisting" and "put your hands behind your back" WHILE HIS HANDS WERE BEHIND HIS BACK, SOMEONE WAS STRADDLING HIM, HE WAS BEING CUFFED AND HIS HEAD WAS BLEEDING PROFUSELY.

The study found that cooking recipes found via social media also correlated with a higher BMI, but "obtaining information from other print, online, or in-person sources was not significantly associated with BMI."

Back in my day, we had 5k runs or walks to raise money for charitable organizations. Get off the Youtubes, get outdoors and do some rigorous activity. None of this viral, ice-water wasting, candy-kissing, filth flarn filth!

Likewise, if someone thinks Joan Rivers was a trailblazer so it didn't matter that she told hateful, bigoted jokes and claimed the Palestinians should burn, then you have lost the moral high-ground.

As if someone from a poor background would not look for economic security or consumer accouterments that manifest economic security.

The comments about a 43 year old man preying on her are particularly icky. She talks about having barettes in her hair and being abused. Why is she being treated like some sort of temptress? I mean, I know why, but I wish others would do some self-examination and think about the why.

Jezebel comments about Azealia Banks always make me uncomfortable. She is polarizing, but the tone and type of hatred thrown at her is...unsettling.

We deserve better than substituting mediocre but ideologically approved writers for great writers.

No, it is not ok. I am not comfortable with anyone using the word, especially someone white. No, no, hell no.

Yeah, no. They both admitted that they were listening to the song when they made Blurred Lines and tried to make a song like it. There are artist's who have crafted entire careers that are influenced by other artists. They manage to do so without copying music.

If an artist's music consists of blatantly ripping off the work of others, then their careers deserve to be killed. This was not a song sample, the song was not inspired by, it didn't capture the "feel" of Marvin Gaye's record- it was a rip-off. There are plenty of song samples used or songs that are inspired by

Great investigative work you did there. Pretty sure that was covered in the news clip though.

Really? It is a struggle to not be racist?

Right. Especially since there has been a trend within the last few years (hmmm) to romanticize the Old South. The popularity of an old, racist white woman that makes fried butter is not shocking at all.

I'm so pissed they brought Outkast into this. Everything else is par for the course, but desecrating B.o.B. is next level douchebag bullshit.

It is ridiculous. I am in great shape and my thighs touch. Always have, probably always will. I refuse to even think about it, let alone worry.

You're not alone in thought. You are far more persistent than I am though. Once I saw the other comment about this show happening "because he's black" I knew engaging any further was futile.

And the 15th.

It's tiring being cynical and skeptical of everything about American at all times.

Women means all women, unless additional comments make clear there is a distinction amongst race, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.
