Writers and film makers get criticized all the time for writing gay or minority characters while not being gay or a racial minority. Isn't that the whole idea behind the "stay in your lane" style of thinking? Let the people who know first hand what minorities experience write from their point of view? It's really…

Well, I can already tell that I'm more of an expert than you are.

Congrats on your ignorance? What are you even trying to say? I don't understand your comment.

This is what I'm seeing here, haha.

Perhaps you're right about the fee for ID's, I should have looked that up before I spoke. I apologize for not being more thorough.

We have a serious history of racism in this state as well. We are also have some of the most racially diverse communities in the country and there haven't been any allegations of racially charged vote tampering that I've ever been aware of. There is racism all over the country. Yes, I believe that some sort of voter…

Where on earth are you getting all of your nonsense from? I've been relatively poor most of my life. I had a driver's license well before I had a car. I've always had a credit card - this is not unheard of, even for poor people. Don't give me that line of nonsense, I've never met any other broke-ass person who went…

You're right, and I forgot about the utility bill/pay stub provision. I've always been asked for a government or photo ID, but I do remember that from when I was helping people register. I guess I've just always grown up with the idea that you need to provide some sort of identification to vote, and we really do not…

$59? Good grief. Is there any explanation given for that cost?

Lol, poll tax. In most places you can get a government issued State ID for free, so that's not really a poll tax, but okay. All I'm saying is that elderly people manage to do it here (in a state with many more issues that might prevent people from being able to reach the polls - inclement weather, transportation…

I can understand that. I think that the way that out state deals with that (since we have a large number of isolated and difficult to reach rural communities) is that other government offices are able to process and distribute ID's for people. Like, they'll have one community government office that handles all of…

Yeah, in this instance it definitely is pretty stupid. I guess I was speaking more generally, and allowances should definitely be made for provisional ballots in these cases.

Lifelong Alaskan here - there appears to be nothing "Inuit inspired" about this collection. The Arctic isn't a place filled with viney-jungle forests and fur mini-dresses. Nothing in the style of jewelry, dress or background suggests that the idea for this photo shoot was drawn explicitly from that culture. Perhaps…

As a person from a state where photo ID's have been required for voting for a very long time, I don't understand the uproar about this issue. I understand that in the places where these new regulations are being proposed that the campaigns backing the voter ID laws are supposedly targeting minorities and..low-mobility…

I've never understood why people claim that Taylor Swift didn't have a sexualized image at the start of her career. She certainly did, but it was more of a "earnest, ethereal virgin" sort of image, rather than the Britney or Christina route that we're all more used to seeing. It was basically her whole appeal - she…

Ahh, that's good to hear! I quit watching after I saw that Silas and Shane got to Copenhagen (whatever season that was), so I'm glad to hear that there was a happy resolution to it all, haha.

I haven't seen it yet! I'll have to check it out!

Nancy Botwin would have been much more successful if she could have designed a yuppy little weed cafe for her clients to light up at, instead of trying to be a regular dealer. I really can't believe that there aren't more ladies with means jumping at the chance to do this. Perhaps they have less savings to start a…

It is super, super boring. Michelle Dockery is great and all, but really? Vanessa Getty? Half the time she looks like she's one step away from being a "Real Housewife".

The bottom painting really is beautiful and endearing. Who is the lady pictured? Is she Creole?
