To all those saying Hillary has to be the candidate: The letter says that the writer doesn’t want “the opponent” in office. Yes, this could be read as “the opposing party,” but it makes far more sense that the writer doesn’t want Hillary in office - she’s the only person in the presidential race that can be boiled

You shouldn’t be willing to say who it wasn’t. My group was hired for damage control during the last Presidential election. Trust me, there’s a lot that went on that the public doesn’t know about.

Easy answer: it’s Hillary.

Don’t apologize, you have the right to be comfortable.

I have a trick left ankle and injured my back in a fall off a horse. Fuck high fashion shoes. The person who figures out how to make supportive, functional and comfortable shoes cute will have all of my money and also end the fashion shoe economy, which is why

Outdoorsy, functional, and hideous is revivified and “fresh”

Maybe you’re being unbrainwashed from a lifetime of being conditioned to believe painful spiky wobbly metatarsal-warping shoes are attractive.

This is so oddly timely. I bought my first pair of Tevas since high school last month.

While many of these shoes are ugly, many are only “ugly” because they prioritize comfort and thus they apparently communicate a lack of desire on the part of the wearer to conform to beauty standards. Women “are supposed” to suffer and work extra for beauty. You don’t buy into that? You must not be beautiful.

I will never not wear birkenstocks everyone can go fuck themselves those shoes are comfortable as fuck

Except Deboer made a reasonable and clear point about the power of the two sides as shown through the market. Your response captures perfectly the mind of every idiot who stand a thought that dares to contrast with their own.

But of course it’s not easy to be Taylor Swift. But I think you can acknowledge that while still saying that you think her music isn’t very good. “Taylor Swift” is a machine. A machine that runs on a lot of moving parts. Part of it is the music she puts out and part of it is a carefully constructed image she maintains

Well, you completely misrepresented his arguments and then essentially told him to shut up. Not exactly a rational way to respond.

I know, right? I sure hope somebody posts a kitten picture ASAP so I can quickly forget about that horrible man who wrote something that I disagreed with.

Okay, this sort of thing bothers me because of how reductive it is to the real history. Truth is, many of the native tribes were wiped out long before they ever saw Europeans. When the Spanish first arrived, they brought with diseases like Smallpox that, due to numerous factors, the natives were especially vulnerable

Nope. It’s basically a wooden bludgeon for beating out flax so that it can be spun, built like a machete but made of wood. Those other examples are items that came later.

I have to say i’m kinda uncomfortable with the eye-drops and mixed booze one - even if people are creeps, tell them off and ask them to leave or cut off their drinks if you’re a staff member, drink spiking is just bad, and you never know what medical issues people have... loving all the other stories though, keep it

Actually it’s very much illegal to give someone a drug without knowledge or consent. So by great I assume you meant horrible.

Like it’s a hilarious prank to sprinkle some arsenic on your enemy’s food and the law totally accepts that you were just joking.

All of the stories made me laugh, because I am a bad person. However, I will say that the bar mat shot and the eye drop trick can lose a business their liquor license, and the eye drop trick is regarded as aggravated assault, since one is, in essence, poisoning someone. Most eye drops don’t have that ingredient in it,

You lost me at the Murell story this week Pinkham. I like to see a good “Eff You” given to a deserving douche canoe but poisonings are well beyond acceptable.
