I mean you can say “fuck everything.” and walk out on life, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

The ONLY thing I will give Mariah is that she had the cojones to stand up there for two songs not singing. Her response to being outed lip synching is so much more professional than the other two.

I never cared about her, but this made me think she is a bitch. Seriously don’t even try? If you showed up to work and something goes wrong do you get to say fuck this and not try? No.

They played the wrong accompaniment. She was expecting to lip sync the whole thing but on “Emotions” they played a backing track that was for semi-lip-sync situations, in which she sings most of the song but lip syncs the high notes. She was not about to attempt actually singing that song.

There couldn’t have been a more appropriate finale to the year. Fuck this shit.

“And that’s what it is”

There ya go answering your own question again: They don’t. They be like:

.... remove the liberal *bias*?!

Why are these other Christians telling this poor girl she’s going to hell over a highlighted bible?

Man that’s wild. I mean the old joke about “two Jews, three opinions” i know I know but I just thought Christians were similar at least. It’s so weird that debate isn’t valued. How else do you learn?

Well, how are other Christians going to know you’re the Best Christian if you don’t condemn other Christians for going outside what you would do as The Best Christian? I saw this a LOT with my ex-fiance’s family, they spent lots of time bragging about their own accomplishments within the church, and shitting all over…

oh thank you, I am a Christian and I agree.

You don’t. Or else you go outside the church to answer the questions you inevitably have (especially when the only answers the pastors give are ‘we’re not meant to know everything’ and ‘read the Bible’) and educate yourself on other religions and other points of view, but then that usually leads to accusations of…

Debate is punished. You’re a bad Christian if you question anything.

No, if there’s one thing I learned in 13 years as a Jewish kid at Catholic school (long story) it’s that the concept of “Judeo-Christian” doesn’t really mean anything. We have fundamentally different world views, even if they borrowed some of our customs. The Catholics are okay as far as that goes - they don’t…

Maybe I’m from some fucked up tribe of men, but hits in the balls were always fair game. Grade school through highschool. If you weren’t on your guard that’s on you. And if you pulled some shit on someone, and they ballthwapped you, it was fair punishment and even funnier.

I mean, I get that she thinks the violation of anyone’s genitals in a violent way is unacceptable....but yeah I’ll have to ask her if she’s evolved on the ball-kicking=rape issue.

Yes it’s so infuriating that ball-kicking is considered OFF LIMITS. If men don’t want to be kicked in the balls, maybe they should stop ASKING FOR IT by doing fucked-up shit that makes you have to kick them in the balls!

There was some bad hair-band video in which a woman kicks some dude in the balls after he does something bad to her—I remember laughing at it as a kid and my super-feminist mom telling me that balls-kicking was akin to rape. Rape! I will never forget how shocked I was even as a child to hear my mother say that.

This is so good. And mirrors so much of what I feel. Hopeless and angry and just so fucking full of rage at the class of men that I don’t know what to do with myself.
