Maybe you're latching onto that as a rationalization for your issues, because it's socially stigmatized. I mean can you articulate why it was so damaging, apart from the social stigma?

Omigod, like, a ton of people say it! Off the top of my head I can list half a dozen— Kanye, Kris, Kendall, Kylie, Kourtney, Khloe...

Let me get this straight. Randolph Severn Parker III and his buddy Matt — two privileged middle-aged white guys worth a half-billion dollars - make fun of a 17-year-old female artist... and you're "uncompromising in your support" of them?

Hey, there are some good Cornelii out there:

I am a male who grew up in a household where housework was done largely by Mom. Dad was responsible for laundry and cleaning the bathrooms, but Mom still did most of the cleaning. Dad was by no means idle, however. He ran his own business and was constantly working. Mom had a part-time job. I entered adulthood with an…

Yes, women spend more time doing housework than men.

This was one of the most intelligently written reviews/critiques of anything I've ever encountered on this site, and I hope we can look forward to more.

In the run-up to my wedding I'd started going just a teeny bit crazy (meltdowns over seating plans, nightmares about the dress, insisting we hand-pick vintage paperback books for every guest, etc.) and then three weeks before MrDalloway and I went to a truly awful wedding. The groom is the brother of a friend of MrD;…

It is tacky, stingy, and self-centered to tell someone s/he isn't authorized to bring a date to your wedding. That being said, it is a much bigger dick move for you to decide you don't want to be friends with the bride anymore, unfriend her on facebook, and then show up to her wedding so YOU can see your friends and…

We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use…

It's not perfect, I know. But I do know that my husband really hates dealing with pandhandlers and signature gatherers so the analogy works on him.

You are letting your personal beliefs get in the way of the following things that are necessary to being a good person:grace
compassion
kindness

If you believe that all of this stuff doesn't exist and is all just an illusion, THAT IS GREAT! I am so happy that you have your own set of beliefs. It's cool.

To examine what prompted to post this would be to look introspectively into ones past, something this poster is clearly incapable of. Which probably contributes to the psychosis on display with this thread...

As an archaeologist, I find it really hard to take your statement "the past doesn't exist" as a anything remotely resembling an intelligent or even philosophical statement. Having excavated dead human beings, in skeleton form, that were 2,000 years old, yes the past exists. Having dealt with incredibly old things, yes…

Bravo, bravo, bravo. I love your response. :)

Really? Let it go? That's all I have to do to no longer be tortured by nightmares of my cruelly abusive mom? Zomg! How come nobody ever told me this before? "Let it go" - Brilliant! So simple!

But...her writing the obituary (as well as this article) doesn't exist either.
