Good! For! YOU! You go girl, etc, etc. Always remember that you owe your parents nothing in return for their partial compliance with basic standards of decency; the only reason you should ever give your dad a chance is because you want to.

I feel ya. I said to someone else but if you think you can criticize then like this lady said you should be grateful that this concept is foreign to you.

It took therapy for me to cut ties off completely with my father - my brothers sometimes hint that I should give him a chance, but fuck that. Therapy has also helped me not to mind my mother so much (I still see her but very very little). In “short”, a couple years in therapy have been the answer for me, and also a…

Exactly. You know what I always think when someone says that? The phrase comes from the phrase “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” so it kind of means the opposite of what they’re saying.

My grandmother died a couple of years ago from cancer. She was sick in the end stage at home for about five months and I refused to go see her. Everyone told me I’d regret it. When she died, I didn’t go to the funeral and everyone told me I’d regret it. I don’t regret either one. She stood there and literally watched…

Yeah, I’ve heard the whole “blood is thicker than water” argument and I’m always like, um, no? Just because you are related to someone does not give that person the right to abuse you, nor should it be tolerated as acceptable behavior.

Damn. Bravo is right. Her follow up statement covers all the bases and shuts down pretty much any of the bullshit criticism that might have been levied at them. Good for them.

I need her to write obits for a few of my relatives. What a badass.

You missed the woman’s AWESOME follow up. Bravo!

“Again, do I like to have babies born in our jail? No,” Wickersham said.

Ah, France, without whom the American Revolution would have gone exactly NOWHERE. These idiots’ lack of history, proportion and sense is so disheartening.

J.K. Is a BOSS, completely smashed Morgan. I have never read any of her books but I just want to buy them all now just to support her.

her twitter feed is comedy gold.

The way the country community turned on the Dixie Chicks after that still makes me angry.

Agreed. This woman has been nothing but positive. She deserves some sort of international award (one, hopefully, with relevance) for bringing tens of millions of people closer to the written word and the world of the mind. Her comments are witty, caustic at times, and always progressive and intelligent (but I repeat…

Jk Rowling rocks. She has been vocal in the criticism of you know who.

I think “Damn Daniel” is funny because it really is just some kids goofing around. I found it adorable. Same with the teens and “Please Mr. Postman.” Also “Running Man Challenge.” I am a sucker. 28 years old.

I’ve been so deeply uncomfortable with everyone making fun of this girl. I mean, she seems pretty troubled. She’s 13, fighting like a sailor, having sex and getting wasted. Yikes.

This meme makes me extremely uncomfortable. Something about mocking a 13 year old doesn’t sit well with me.

I hate everything about this
