If they are lost in the chatter, what soapbox is that? For those without large followings, their major asset is in their ability to make certain ideas trend, not in coming up with wonderful and unique little 140 character epithets on their own. It truly is the ability to move and speak en masse that makes the tool…

You can use a medium for a variety of different reason. Tweeting breakfasts and other small acts could be creating the necessary behaviours for a democratic and participatory culture.

She is one of the elite. There isn't really much room for debate there. Also, my view is far more left than yours...so please don't compare me to your conservative mother.

That's one way of looking at it...or you could see it as the rise of some semblance of democratic and participatory culture.

A member of the elite denigrating the views and tools of the mass. How original...

This is irritating and bigoted and makes me sad. I'm one of the only straight-identified people in my group of friends and they never let me forget it. Not only have I become sick of being the scapegoat for everything, I'm also sick of being invited into situations then told we're going somewhere I'm not wanted. It's…

I think you a word.

Yeah - unfortunately choices don't operate in vacuums. Choices have consequences and normally on the lives of other people.

I agree with some of your points, but I don't think they live with him. They keep saying throughout the teaser that he sees the kids on weekends and the women carpool together to bring the kids over.

I gotta say that I don't get all the hate for Gwyneth and Goop. Sure, it might be over the top, but her recipes are really good, healthy, and incredibly easy to make.

What a weird little tidbit to share with the world...Cool story bro?

I'm sure he's in hiding. Turned out that the "interview" was a hoax. I'd bet that he and his dad are hiding out somewhere pretty hidden. I would imagine they would get some sort of protection by the state, just in case there are crazies out there who want revenge.

The whole thing is just nightmarish, but his role especially feels as if it came straight out of Hitchcock.

Why wouldn't Ryan Lanza be considered a victim? He didn't do anything wrong. His brother killed his mother, and then the press smeared his name in the press without knowing all of the facts. I was incredibly sad about the children that were lost that day, but I also felt a bit of sadness for Ryan Lanza. In one day he…

How would you be able to tell the "good" guys, from the "bad" guys? I'm really not sure if there is a test to be able to determine that sort of thing. A good guy can become a bad guy, or vice versa, and it makes zero sense to vilify groups of people based on certain characteristics and exalt others with the same…

I dunno...as a small boobied lady, I have always been jealous that my more endowed friends had this extra storage area. I think this is pretty ingenius.

Wow that is an awesome job. Sounds like a grad student's dream job! I know lots of awesomely smart people who would be really passionate about this project.

Betsy kind of sounds like a jerk.

All I see when I read West's work is someone screaming random words at me.

To each their own. Personally, I dislike READING pieces that look LIKE they were written by my computer ILLITERATE mother, lol, omg :P.
