When I was doing my B.Ed to qualify as a high school teacher, I was 21. Some of my students were 18. EVEN THEN, I was like '100% nope forever' with regards to even looking at them that way, without even getting into the gross abuse of a position of responsibility. I. just. do. not. understand. this apparent wave of…

I can admire the prettiness of young people but it's more like looking at art. Even 21 year olds look like children to me - no sexy feelings there. However, extreme drunkeness causes unpredictable behavior, which is one of the SEVERAL reasons you don't get drunk with teenagers, your boss/coworkers, or other people…

I think the one on the right is finally feeling shame and disgust for her actions. All joking aside, I taught high school for two years and I CANNOT fathom how anyone can look at these CHILDREN and leave all sense at the door. I don't care how adult they may look, they are kids and these women are monsters.

Perfect gif for this situation!

"FUCK MY ELBOW!"

His name was Javier and I met him when I worked at the bookstore in college. He was super hot, but that's because all he cared about in the world was his body. Good for him! Good for him. But between working out and moisturizing and hair care and trimming and and and, there was...not much left. But super hot and…

You'll only end up getting high on your own supply and decide to take the rest of us out so you don't have to share.

Thanks for bringing this up because I forgot to note in the piece — the spelling was actually all over the place in the sources I was working with. Sisi predominated in letters from family members and the biographies, so I used it throughout, except in the title of the movie.

Hey you know every article doesn't have to be about Ferguson, right?

More of this on Jez, please. With all of the recent shitty news coming out about police violence, racial profiling and attacks, and sexual harassment and assault of women, we need more happy puppy stories and pics.

I used to work for the public library and we had complaints specifically about the book Tintin in the Congo. I totally agree that books like these should be moved to non-fiction with some kind of disclaimer, because it seems really irresponsible to leave it in the children's section where there's no guarantee that an…

Wonderfully put. It is a mixed bag, and as a demi-Swede, I can attest to the strong feelings that Pippi can produce. Disclaimer: I do come from a Swedish family that at times showed a racist and xenophobic pov towards my siblings and I as we were not 100% ethnically Swedish.

My sister and I (both 25 and under) learned to read by reading the entire Tintin series. While some of the content is definitely not considered PC anymore (later readings have always surprised me at how blatantly offensive some of the stuff is), my parents made an explicit point of making sure we knew that some of the…

People have some of the same issues with Tintin as originally depicted by Georges Remi (Hérge). See also: Robinson Crusoe, Tarzan. Most European libraries have moved these creations in their lives as books to non-fiction historical sections, and it seems like that's how they are supposed to be appreciated. There's…

Also, I'll just leave this here:

FUCK YOU STUPID FUNDAMENTALISTS, STOP MAKING MY RELIGION LOOK LIKE IT'S FOR INSIPID, NARROW-MINDED IDIOTS.

It really helps to read about the case before commenting.

Maybe I'll finally take the plunge, I'm always a little miffed by the soap getting all over my laundry area

Another non-bratty reason for having a destination wedding has to do with the fact our families are on different continents. We're holding the wedding in his home country, England, which you may say doesn't quite qualify as a destination wedding since it's home for half the guest list. Eh, no, his side accounts for…
