Good. One of my career goals is to move into a position of power that allows me to cancel when dickbags are running late. I know, lofty goal.

Alrighty now. Don't fuck with Angela Merkel.

Also, any guy who enjoys blowjobs and uses "dick-sucking" as an insult is a fucking hypocrite.

You know, I just can't help but like Colin Farrell. He's a total womanizer, but unlike the vast majority of womanizers he actually seems to like women. As people. It's sort of amazing how unusual that is.

I like errything about Colin Farrell, he can sell me a cologne that smells like a moldy cooler and I would like it.

I just came here to talk about Damian Marley's "All Night"! Yeah! The music on the show is great. I hope they can work some Fishbone in there sometime. Or the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble!

That engagement chicken is literally the most anemic chicken recipe I have ever seen (need more spices).

Oh, you are totally right! I thought her skin was showing through and they were just some nasty piece bangs. Still not my favorite but better than I thought.

Yes! my first thought was, "I don't remember Beyonce having such a massive forehead, and why would her stylist let her go out with those stringy, thin bangs?!"

I like it better like this

The last line of your comment is especially poignant, given that if I remember correctly, Duncan contracted ebola by helping an afflicted woman get to the hospital by taxi because she couldn't get an ambulance to come get her :/

Actually a lot of them are intentionally putting themselves in harms way. Many are ignoring all of the Dr's that have come in and told them explicitly how the disease is transmitted. Many completely refuse to believe the Dr's and conceal their illness infecting their families. Families have been bribing those…

I think the concern is that it is that little else is being depicted, so it creates a narrative that re-enforces a stereotype. It allows Westerners to feel pity while failing to actually seeing the humanity of the person suffering. I think it's more of a plea for a more thoughtful representation of the subjects of…

That's all true. I don't disagree with a word.

The author is pointing out that the contrast allows those in developed countries to maintain a façade that somehow the reason these people are afflicted with something as horrible as Ebola is because they are doing things to put themselves in harm's way. They are complicit in their fate in a way that we are not, and…

I'd also emphasize that we won't see pictures of Ebola victims in more developed nations for a reason ; those patients are being treated in care facilities that are essentially on lockdown, for the good of the patient and the populace. Because "the West" has the luxury of having few cases on "our" hands, we aren't…

I know it's easy to say, "Oh, the West is the worst," but these kinds of "outsiders carry disease" attitudes aren't unusual to the big bad West. Japanese even today believe that HIV is a "foreigner disease" even though the HIV infection rate in Japan is on the uptick among Japanese themselves. These problems are…

Seriously. These images of children and dying and medical interventions and "invisible suffering" are not convenient metaphors for some writer, comfortable in her desk chair, to craft some moralistic allegory: they are the realities of this disease, of how it is handled in the US/Europe vs. Africa, of how medicine has…

Great aricle, I've been talking about how Duncan's being turned away totally happened due to the intersection of being poor, black, and foreign. It's not hard imagine if a pert white Christian missionary returning from West Africa had come in that the situation would have looked drastically different.
