Not always the case though. I just read some articles in Guardian about these girls and they all come from middle class families. In general, IS members of the Middle East usually come from well-off families, European ones mostly don't.

Because that's not what they think they're going to. ISIS propaganda is very effective and it offers young people the chance to feel like they're part of some glorious moment in history, fighting against evil and corruption. Just like Westerners idolize things like the French revolution and the bombing of Hiroshima…

I know I'm in the greys but this is actually an area i'm studying in detail at the moment so I thought I'd throw in my two cents.

How fucking shitty is your life that your need to be right over such a stupid thing is more important than showing some compassion over a KID'S DEATH?

Jesus H. Christ! The kid took his life. The reason he is being talked about is because he took his life. So what if he copied a pose. So damn what!

I suspect you're not a very nice person.

An aggressive bullying asshole feels the need to shit all over the obituary for someone who advocated against bullying. Are you so damaged that you can't see what's wrong with that, Mr. Bully?

Know what else I'm being? Correct.

So he outright ripped off an old, famous image he'd seen online?

Anyone who tells kids to "ignore them and they'll go away" clearly was never bullied. Ignoring them just makes them try harder. I was bullied by a girl a year younger than me, and channeling my inner stoic ONLY MADE HER WORSE. She ended up tripping me while we were running laps in the parking lot for volleyball,…

Hi. You're being an asshole.

Huh, I thought when you went to PP you had to go through a mandatory abortion in the waiting room before you get to do all the other checkup stuff.

Exactly. You're always on point, Adultosaur. His site has a real cute baby photo on it. That baby looks pretty normal. Why not a baby with any trisomy syndrome, micro encephalopathy, or a good old fashioned cleft palate? These are only the ones my uneducated brain can think of.

I hate those idiots that say things like that! Hate them! I don't need to be a mother to be compassionate of women who don't want to be pregnant ! For now all I can say to those idiots is: My mom is pro-choice! My SIL mother of my two nieces who had a miscarriage of a wanted pregnancy is pro-choice!

There is no way to salvage a joke that is saying "Women, you should feel lucky you aren't being raped even more savagely than you currently are. AND THAT'S IT FOR ME! YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT AUDIENCE! GOOD NIGHT FOLKS!"

Nope. Males are not feminists. And the ones that claim to be are always the worst of all. If any male identifies himself as a feminist, a red flag should go up immediately. He's looking for power (proves my point) or looking to get laid (proves my point).

So funny. This is true of every type of class, not just humanities.

I could name my group "BUNNIES ARE CUTE AND SHOULDN'T BE MURDERED RIGHTS" and if my platform is murdering bunnies, no one will buy it. I don't get how people don't see this with MRA.

I wish she was here to comfort me because my professor is doing jack shit about it. We just started covering MRAs and the people in my class are missing the point and saying "you hear so much about feminism but not men's rights groups!" And now they all think that men's rights groups are in need of their activism and…

Oh my God, I would destroy him.

(I am a tall, broad, fat woman with a VERY BOLD way of speaking. I have been criticized for being overly aggressive and confident in the classroom...a criticism my male colleagues never get, of course. The benefit is, when it comes time for a bullish woman to put one of these guys in…
