Chinese marriage laws are awful and doing this in front of the entire world puts a shit ton of pressure on her to say yes. I would have been livid, and it actually would have made me rethink the entire relationship. But then again, if that's what she wants, then mazal tov. Better you than me, kiddo.

Basically the police chief originally assigned to this case was so convinced he’d caught a congressman, he completely botched the investigation, and by the time they found her remains, any hope of DNA or other evidence was gone.

Actions can be illegal; not people. Undocumented or without a valid permit etc etc still is the appropriate way to call them.

“Christ maintains that the woman’s primary role is oriented to the home.” NO HE FUCKING DOESN’T. Fucking judgey “X-shun” assholes.

“I am not happy to write this kind of essay. Not at all. I do not like to do it.”

Well crap...I especially love how this blogger only approves certain comments...says she does not “judge”...but in her blog writes “In my opinion, though the Gaineses say they put Christ first, they don’t.”....sounds like a judgment, and a pretty harsh one at that.

I am fresh off a 2 day business trip and about to leave for another one on Monday... I need to remember to thank my husband for putting our son to bed since he is not Biblically mandated to do so! Thanks for the tip! :)

Allow me to calleth bullshit on these lines: “I am not happy to write this kind of essay. Not at all. I do not like to do it.”

Though to be perfectly honest a lot of mathematicians suck at teaching math.

It’s going to blow her mind when she learns that non-Hispanic people can speak Spanish and language proficiency is not solely based on race/national origin.

I agree and hopefully in places like that those things are taken into account, but It’s also not fair when people rely on under the counter money and mooching off family just so they don’t have to pay child support.

That’s true, I’m Singaporean and we consume Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean media well. Chinese media for us is usually just the variety shows which our TV station buys because they ran outta ideas. Chinese movies which do well are usually Hong Kong films by proxy and kdrama and Japanese anime are extremely popular.…

Why would anyone be pissed off Beyonce had the opening performance at an award show? Were they hoping Katie Perry would be the opening act at the BET awards?

Margaery’s talent is finding out what men want to hear. That’s what she’s done with the High Sparrow.

As a 50 year old Aussie, what I find the most hilarious is that what you Americans consider far left extremists is pretty much the mainstream in most of the rest of the western world.
