The way you trivialize her relationship with Jamie as "fooling around" shows that you might not grasp a lot of the reasons why Cersei is such a complex character. She clung to Jamie as a child not only because of the close bond that they inherently had as twins, but because in the absence of their mother she never…

***Possible Spoilers***

The CGI was so bad that I couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to be too concerned about it either way.

Er, well, I suppose my prediction deals with events farther in the future than the show is. I know that rumors of Sansa's bethrothal to Robert Arryn and others are under consideration at the end of ADWD, but somehow I think that these will "fall through", allowing Petyr to fill that role himself.

I don't know, that grey one is pretty cute. I can see how these might be practical for times when you want a bit more support (like if you're going to be out walking around all day, or doing some city biking or something), but don't want to go with full on breast-binding for your heavy impact sports bras. Or maybe…

I think that's where the story line is ultimately going to go in the next couple of books. I doubt that Petyr is going to be able to pull that plot off though.

"She may be a terrible person but the world made her that way."

I guess I'm not entirely sure what you are considering the dog "industry". Do you mean the AKC and it's affiliated groups and breeders? And I agree, there are some breeds that have a higher than average preponderance on serious health concerns, like pugs, bulldogs, etc. However, I really do believe that you can have…

There are a lot of breeders who don't necessarily breed to AKC show standards but continue to breed one type of dog exclusively either for working dogs or companions. I am a former dog owner, a current cat owner and a long time animal enthusiast. I have been very familiar with dog breeders in the past and know,…

I don't know, isn't the whole point of the hijab to curb one's sex appeal (as a sign of your respect for your husband, who your sex appeal is reserved for, and as a sign of humbling yourself before God)? The fact that she was willing to wear the hijab in order to appear respectful to the culture that she was reporting…

Because there are many responsible dog breeders out there who ensure that they protect their family lineage from genetic/temperament disorders as much as possible? Mixed breed dogs can have congenital problems as well.

I am a huge animal lover and am certainly able to take good care of my pet companions, but this has to be like 60% of the reason that I really, really want to get a dog. It's like I almost need a reason to go outside and exercise and be healthy, and if my little buddy has to go pee and get in some jogging time so that…

I know that all of the ones pictured are nothing besides ugly status symbols! I mean seriously, where is the imagination and design that should be going into these pieces? Something as costly and important as a wedding ring should display something about the wearer's personality and aesthetic preference. These are so…

I don't know, at least it has some imagination behind it. It's not just one big rock in a bland setting.

I definitely understand the outrage that you're feeling over the lack of coverage that this incident is receiving in American media - the scope of these kidnappings is absolutely terrifying and the fact that the majority of these 234 girls will likely be subject to horrifying mistreatment is heartbreaking.

You should meet my mother.

I am from Alaska, so I definitely understand the proximity doesn't equal understanding thing. There is more racism up here than one would imagine, especially considering that we have the highest percentage of native people per capita in the U.S., so it's not like the people who have these preconceived notions about…

I can't imagine how someone who grew up in an environment that is so entwined with Native American history and current events could be such an ignorant shit. She sounds like an unbelievably awful person.

The color really is beautiful on her. I wish we could see it when she wasn't standing in front of that awful mustard backdrop though, it's making my eyes sore.

Whale Rider! The main character is about the same age as your pupils and it's a movie that kind of delves into Maori spiritual beliefs and practices. It's a great movie and the young actress is perfect in her role.
