No, I nitpick because facts and truth are the only things that actually matter, and distorting them to make a point about a deeper issue is really shitty and doesn't help solve said issue. The rest of what you angrily typed has nothing to do with my comment, so I will not bother replying.

I tend to nitpick these stories because not everything is, quite literally, black and white. A lot of teens are total assholes, regardless of skin color, and are capable of, and commit, violence. I also nitpick these stories because they get sensationalized by the news, and by bloggers, and sensationalizing does…
How is this not a form of child abuse? Making your children believe they don't need school because their god is going to suck them up into the heavens at any moment. That's fucked up.
You're only speaking for yourself and your experiences. Others have different situations, such as a 97 year old who lives in a nursing home and really needs no ID because she doesn't drive or go anywhere. For myself, I lived overseas for a few years, and when I came back to the states, it was a major hassle to get a…
I had dreamed of seeing the Cliffs since childhood, but it was nothing more than a giant tourist trap, filled with teens (and pretty much everyone else but the teens were the loudest) taking pictures of their own faces, climbing over safety barriers to take pictures of their own faces, screaming for someone to take a…
I assume the opponents of this bill are the same ones who are micromanaging sex via anti-gay marriage laws, abstinence-only education, and rigid religious dogma. When did they suddenly respect the privacy of bedrooms and feel that sex should be a great, natural thing rather than something shameful like they're always…
Yeah, cats don't respond to tone of voice like dogs do. They respond to loud noises or other sudden stimuli. I gently blow on her when she attacks, because that's about the only time she's ever bad, and it works because she stops, and it doesn't lessen her affection toward me at all.
Not cool to shut down a commentator like that. StoriaGleinem's comments don't come off as trying to be trolling or offensive, so I don't know you're doing that. Maybe put a disclaimer on your article that says 'DISSENTING OPINIONS NOT WELCOME IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.'
To be fair, this is a typical punishment for a cat, and it's how I make my cat understand she's done something bad, rather than spraying her with a bottle of water. My friend's cat, on the other hand, responds to blowing in faces as an act of love and he cuddles up to faces that blow on him.
Maybe if you played with and stopped hitting your fucking cat, it wouldn't attack you so much.
All the time, everywhere, married people turn out to be surprised by something their partner did, and I can only ever think "how did you not know?" How did you NOT know your spouse was a vicious Internet troll or that he/she was cheating on you or that he/she was going to abuse you BEFORE you married him/her? Are all…

I think it's one of those cases that none of us have any right to comment on because we don't actually know shit.
Every major religion teaches women to submit to men. Contemporary Christian churches try to ignore this fact and tiptoe around it even though its spelled out in the Bible over and over again. So in my opinion, religious women should either submit to men unquestionably because the word of God demands it be so, or…
All my best friends in high school got really involved in one of these "hip" churches. After we graduated, I didn't hear from them over the summer at all. And when I finally ran into one, she literally told me to go away. 8 years later I get an apology out of the blue apologizing and explaining that the church made…
What are these "identifiable brain structure differences"? And how do we know that there aren't people who have these "identifiable brain structure differences" in relation to their race? I lived in Korea for years and literally saw girls and women CRY and threaten suicide because they didn't have white skin,…
Sooo I hate to be this person, but if medical science has advanced enough to allow a person to change their bodies to match the gender they feel they really are, then why shouldn't the same apply to race/ethnicity? What's the difference, if the person truly feels they should have been born another way?
This doesn't surprise me. Paris was the nastiest city I've ever set foot in. Everywhere I went smelled like pee, and I never saw the "charm" that people talk about. I also felt like my life was in danger on every train, in every metro stop, and whenever the sun went down. I've never been so afraid of a city.
I like for my sites to be informative on a variety of subjects, the majority of which matter in one way or another with an occasional cat or screaming goat video thrown in the mix. I like Jezebel's conversational, humorous writing style and the format of the site is easy to navigate. However, the worst part of Jezebel…
