"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint".

Christian Martyr Syndrome.

My parents' dog seriously was given a prescription for Xanax because they moved across country and she was having riding-in-the-car anxiety. When I have anxiety attacks the doctor tells me "maybe yoga would help". I should just go to the vet.

It is common. More common among christian foreign adoptions.

What's wrong with being glad that the jury didn't vote to violate the 8th Amendment?

I don't empathise with the murderer, I just don't like the state killing people. I don't wish happiness or any positive things for her.

Somehow, despite this…

And wait, wasn't TKAM written by a living white woman and therefore completely immaterial?

Which is exactly why antiques are exempted from the ban.

Words cannot express how much I despise people who harm elephants. You people... fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

Then you'd think these fuckers would be happy hunting those instead of elephants.

The worst thing ever - more than baby rape, Nazis, cancer, and war - is this: Sandy Hook Truthers.

I don't know about that. My younger sister died of cancer and I spent too much time in a children's cancer ward. As horrific as that was for her and my family, I am more disheartened by the terrible things people do to other people.
