It's very likely that she doesn't even REALLY know what her own grandparents did to survive.

This is EXACTLY why I find a well-dressed man so sexy! A biker jacket isn't rebellious anymore. A guy in a pink blazer with a co-ordinating pocket square is so ripe for mockery that it shows a certain amount of courage even to wear it out of the house!

Thank you. I don't get why the point needs to be repeated over and over that THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY FOR SPEECH MADE IN A PUBLIC SPHERE. You only need to crack open some 19th-century newspapers to realize that has NEVER been a right or an expectation in this country. Even hiding behind my ridiculous…

This is an astute observation; I also read the article in question and it seemed more a reaction to trauma caused by family dysfunction rather than some kind of intellectually constructed Holocaust denialism. BUT I also don't think "just leave it alone" is a realistic expectation since she didn't write this in her…

No. It is not acceptable when you are a (presumably) paid writer to apply your issues with one or a handful of individuals to a social group as a whole. This article, and your defence of it, is basically saying that because one person has wronged you in the past, it is okay to be naturally suspicious and hateful of…

Sigh. At this point I'm like Michael Corleone. When I though I was out, they keep pulling me back in. In real life I find myself in proximity with, lets be blunt, sexists who like to lambast feminist ideals. I find myself defending feminism, even though it does have it's issues. I guess I just can't help myself. I…

Chris Pine is hot, but Chris Evans just does it for me.

Oh lawwwwd.

This one is too real

Getting into a relationship with someone you've met in your 12-step program is what we like to call, "The 13th-step." (That's a consensual relationship. Or as consensual as it can be when an long-timer takes advantage of a newbie's insecurities and fears). Note: Not all 13th steppers are like that. Some are just…

Aw, that's going to be me some day as a mother.

That's a good point. I don't see anyone giving Jagger any shit for it. Oh waaaaaiiit - it's because he's got one of those whatchamathingies.... a penis

This is me looking at Tyson in 100 degree weather:

The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are two of my absolute favorites for drinking wine in front of on a Friday night when I don't feel like going out.

Cary Grant is the only correct answer. All of these other crazypants answers need to be taken out back and put down like bad horses.

You and everyone else, honey. *snaps*

Young Alexis de Tocqueville. Total cutie. In modern days he would have divided his time between studying Classics and writing emo poetry. (That hair is just itching to turn into eye-obscuring bangs).

Or Paul Newman. *sigh*

As the person who is usually embarrassingly drunk, it's probably because people don't want a sober witness to the shit they say when they've had a few...

I will say this: I am not an alcoholic but I am not drinking at the moment because I'm in recovery in other areas of my life and I figure I don't need to tempt fate with my addictive personality. Only once alcohol stopped being an option for me (for the time being) did I notice how prevalent its use is among my…
