On behalf of myself and the confusing adult feelings I have for Thor, I accept and endorse this decision.

Okay, I have a story about bamboo. I work at a tree museum. Once a year, we hold a massive plant sale, 70% of the product is grown in house. The sale is 3 days long and every single paid staff must be there for at least one shift. The exception to the single-shift rule is our arborists and horticulturists, they must…

Nah. I get the point she’s trying to get across. A weed brain and an ice cream cone (what the actual fuck??) isn’t tacky according to Dan, but he gets to decide her daughter’s name on her neck is. Right. Got it.

I don’t agree there’s really any situation where cutting a 13 year old girl’s hair against her will is reasonable. That’s a major violation of someone’s bodily integrity.

Unless dad is a barber, no, he has no reason to touch her hair. She’s 13, that’s old enough for a child to decide their own hairstyle. This was done to abuse and humiliate her, even before he uploaded it to youtube. I’m glad there’s attention on him now and I hope he gets punished by our judicial system. He won’t…

Interestingly, it's also what Germans did to women who slept with Allied troops (particularly soldiers of color) after WWII.

I'm right there with you. The posting of the video is bad enough but there's something about the haircuttng that's really perverse and sinister. The poor child.

Chopping off her hair. What kind of fucking medieval punishment is this? That’s what they did to women who slept with Germans during the French occupation. Getting drunk or whatever doesn’t warrant this hateful treatment. This is horrid.

Yeah, even public schools ban PB, and a few even say you can’t give your kids peanut butter for breakfast before school. I look around at the store a lot, since money is really tight right now, and found that alternate spreads cost three times as much and you get 1/2 to 2/3 as much spread.

COMMIE BASTARD OPINION ALERT:

Except they can’t be placed on the free/reduced program, because their parents make more than $45,000 combined. That’s kind of the whole issue.

I mean... I don’t really think a cheese sandwich and a carton of milk is a reasonable alternative even if the kids did just forget their money. That’s not enough food, that’s not a very nutritious meal (I know school lunches often aren’t but I WANT THEM TO BE), and that’s punishing the kid by making them by…

The numbers were similar for my area, and boy, did it suck for the many parents who were just above that 45k line.

I really really hate these kinds of stories. Wouldn’t it be better all around for kids to be fed and able to learn instead of shamed and/or starving?

I don’t think these extremists differentiate between this and other things they would consider transgressions. To them it is the same as catching him making out with a girl because boys will be boys and even young girls are just so tempting it’s probably their fault anyway. Consent from women does not matter in their…

When speaking about Michael Brown, a teenager, Huckabee called him ‘a thug’ and said he could have avoided his fate if Brown would have behaved himself. So apparently it’s ok to shoot black teenagers, but white teenage abusers deserve our respect and some privacy. Are people even listening to themselves anymore?

If Duggar was not from a prominent right-wing cult, or was Black, gay, or had molested boys, Huckabee and all the other Duggar apologists would be screeching a very different tune.

I love how the girls - the real victims - have become completely invisible in all this. And when I say love, I mean “I would like to set someone’s face on fire”.

I’ve been looking out the window for winged pigs all morning, because I agree 100% with Mama June here. I don’t like it, but homegirl has a very good point. Both families are gross as hell in so many varied and colorful ways, and the way TLC handles this Duggar thing will speak VOLUMES about literally everyone…
