I was reading on some message boards earlier about this and someone brought up the point that basically some folks from the NFL are saying that at this time they aren't ready etc etc and this person was talking about how the same shit was said about Jackie Robinson in baseball and how essentially someone has to take…

Ugh, I see the idiots have already begun to talk. They sound like a bunch of cowards already.

I don't normally watch skating but I happened to catch this one and I friggin' loved every minute of it. That creepily perfect, almost robotic Russian 15 year old emotionlessly destroying all her competition? Awesome. The much older (and unfortunately horsetoothed) Italian girl who had been to the Olympics multiple…

You're so right. Nationalism has absolutely no place in an athletic competition where countries compete against one another.

White people look the same.

For all the folks who are saying that the obesity concern is all about health concern: watch this TED talk (it's only 15 minutes, it won't kill you), then come talk to me.

I love you!

Hmm well I'll have to choose wisely then...is there a team platypus? I mean, no one expects team platypus...

Male models sure get to wear a lot of clothing.

Something that no one has mentioned yet is the fact that the seriousness of the offense is compounded for me by the fact this was a programming class - an area that is traditionally hostile to women. I am completely willing to believe that this professor is ignorant, not malicious, but because he unfortunately is in…

" the conspiracy floated in this ridiculous article wherein Lena Dunham supposedly tweeted in support of Dylan Farrow because Farrow mentioned Girls in her anti-Allen tweets."

I loved Sherman's comments a few days later when he called out all the "thug" commenters for just finding a new slipcover for the N word. He was 100% correct.

I-thought he kind of did? Wasn't he the one who acknowledged that his ancestors were slave owners, which is why his mother encouraged him not to use his actual last name? I thought he said in the same article that 12 Years A Slave was his attempt to address his family's history?

Said more eloquently and in more detail than I could give right now

There was a moment at a viewing party last night, somewhere in the 2nd quarter, when someone said, "Man, they're just getting raped."

You're right, it's not. And here is where everyone, the vegans AND the omnis, are gonna get on my case; I believe that non-vegan but meatless options in mainstream restaurants outweigh my desire for personal purity. For me, veganism is about helping animals, not about following a dogma. I feel that having a veggie…

This is so sad. He was a privilege to watch on screen, I thought we'd be seeing his films for a long, long time. Addiction is the worst.

Not all vegetarians opt out of meat for health or ethics reasons!
Those of us who physically can't eat meat or just don't like it would gladly eat a veggie burger at a restaurant that DOESNT EVEN SERVE MEATLESS SALADS!
Burger King's veggie burger is just their regular burger with a Gardenburger patty, so no one is…

Clearly you aren't a vegetarian who has taken lots of road trips. There are rest stops where the only real option is McDonald's, and you end up getting fries and a soda and pretending it's actually a meal. It would be nice to have another option. (By the way, the Burger King veggie burger is just a Morningstar Farms…
