Agreed. And like I’ve said, zero tolerance is super biased towards punishing the poor. I promise you a school with this strict of a dress code does not educate the nice, white, middle class of NJ.

That whole video is bullshit. There aren’t really many other low-cost or free alternatives to Planned Parenthood in Lancaster. This from the local news website:
I’m am so old, I literally understand NONE of it.
I have an Art Deco sapphire and diamond engagement ring and when I was first engaged people did NOT get it. I got so many weird comments from random people who, I guess, think jewelry design begins and ends with a Zales commercial. Now, everything has changed. I get stopped in restaurants and shops on a regular basis…
THANK YOU. Yes. It’s no more acceptable to make fun of Chris Christie for his weight than it is to make fun of right-wing women for their looks. (Ann Coulter, Kim Davis, Carly Fiorina ... we can ridicule their bigotry and abhorrent political views without resorting to sexist insults.) The hypocrisy I’m concerned about…
Well put. If Christie were thinner, this wouldn’t even be a story. I doubt Chris Christie personally put in the order; I think it’s probably a federally mandated guideline that is automatically issued after so many ‘infractions’ and had to come from his office. (I don’t know much about the military though, so if…
Shitty false equivalence between an unbearable right-wing asshole who shuts down freeways for personal gain, and a military that rightfully requires people meet certain fitness standards.
Hur-hur! Fat people! So funny, with their nonstop eating.
To be fair (to the military, not Christie cause he’s just ugh) taking PT tests and staying in standards for your age/gender is part of your job. You have to pass them or they kick you out and if this dude is skipping them and/or failing him, sumpin gotta be done.
Law enforcement now uses “child sexual abuse material”, abbreviated as CSAM. They specifically don’t use “porn” because porn has the connotation that it’s sexy and fun. CSAM are essentially crime scene photos.
Extension of the “Real Men Don’t buy Girls” campaign, which should actually say kids, because young boys are trafficked too, not just girls. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/11/ash…
People should stop using the term “child porn” for the same reasons. They are films and photographs of rapes
Thank you for that link; Andrew Vachss is the MAN. Who would have thought his Venn circle and Diddy’s had any overlap beyond ‘carbon-based biped?
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is about as right as you can be. Good for him for using his celebrity megaphone for good ends. The AP’s style guide needs to be rewritten.
I’ve posted this here multiple times, but it’s worth repeating;
Well, yes, we’re very cute. But we were just two dopes in a bar. So we didn’t meet in a particularly cute way.
Right? I met my boyfriend in a bar, we got drunk and talked about Lord of the Rings. Then we made out.
I too have the needle phobia. I had months of cognitive behavioural therapy (which I can’t recommend enough!), after which I can have a vaccination if I really need it, with a lot of preparation and if certain conditions are met and I allow some time after for the panic attack to be over. I’m in awe that you can have…
A lot of the marriage equality = bestiality comments I get seem to come from people who just have trouble empathizing with others. In their view, it’s just impossible that a person may be born gay because they have no personal, direct experience with anything outside heterosexuality. To them, non-hetero sexual…
I have a friend so phobic of needles she has to take xanax before every dental appointment because the very possibility that a needle may be involved can send her into a panic spiral. She actually had a full-blown panic attack during surgery prep once because the nurse hadn’t gotten the order to give her an oral…
