I mean, they're just the lazy way of feigning interest, right?

Interesting. Given how Barbie was sort of an empty avatar for girls to project themselves onto, guided by the sexist or non sexist directives of Mattel, this idea of not giving her a "set" personality, and taking that into account could work. Reminds me a bit of the idea behind the Lego movie, if that makes sense.

Wish they hadn't photoshopped her thighs.

Did anyone else not get an allowance? I didn't and I seriously don't know any of my childhood friends who did.

But i'm still stuck on people who got an allowance for chores AT ALL.

Um, I think the real problem is:

you sound overemotional. are you tired, dear?

awww, look at the little troll who just discovered gaslighting.

Aren't they, indeed, white dudes? If you'd like to read something dry, accurate and unbiased, may I suggest the news section of The Washington Post?

Oh, well then. How dare she be outspoken! Also, do you have examples, or is that too much to ask for?

This fucker just "OK, BARBARA."'d you and he wants to whine about condescension?

1. It's a blog, not a newspaper. Do you get upset when you read opinions on the Opinion page?

Hate to harp on this, but was Harlan's dissent in Plessy legally literate? If so, why? Additionally, how can you differentiate it from Sotomayor's "emotional" response in this case?

You called the opinion of a member of the Supreme Court "legally illiterate," then lecture ME about condescension.
Okay then.

If it's not an "advanced debate class," the concurrences were all unnecessary. Additionally, dissents frequently discuss social justice aspects of a case and hopes for the future of the law. Was Harlan's dissent in Plessy equally "legally illiterate"? My guess is that you'd say no, and I'd love for you to spell out…

Did you read Scalia's concurrence? His rant about Carolene acts as if F.N.4 is just another plurality footnote and has not been turned into binding precedent through inclusion in the majority opinion in at least a dozen other majority S.C. decisions.
You want to talk legal incompetence? What about Robert's concurrence,…

A friend of min used to work in the offices of the most downloaded woman on the net, tech support mainly, but if pantie orders backed up all the office staff would have to spend the day rubbing lotion in the crotch of panties and then packaging them up to mail out. Sorry, if you'r buying "big name" worn panties, they…

St. Peter: Jesus Christ, Right Hand of the Father, Blood of the Lamb, and Forgiver of Sins, I would like you to meet your biggest fan, Colton Burpo. He's been here before. But now he's here for good. *whispers* He and his parents were killed in a car crash.

*Jesus chokes on bong hit and spits fetid bongwater all over…

Because of what I have eaten, I am ready to die. #ArbysIsHell

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a 53-year-old woman who is so hot and awesome that it almost seems unfair that she still can't get a spread in a magazine with out having to be nude or fuck something, stars in her very own photo spread in next month's issue of GQ wherein she fucks a clown.
