What a stupid way to ruin your own life. Is it that hard to just move away and disappear? I didn't know being a deadbeat dad was hard.

My understanding from some of my classmates is, if you take classes like "The Bible as Literature", at least half of those enrolled will be there solely to convert others to evangelical Christianity. It's a class that relies more than normal on the teacher being willing to tell students, "no, this line of questioning…

Are you seriously comparing homosexuality to blindness, cleft palates and alcoholism? Seriously? For real? In real life?

It's not Christians. It's either just some Christians or certain branches of Christianity. The churches with rainbow flags advertising that everyone's welcome to attend in Boystown do not agree with that reading.

Except that if it was about behavior, instead of innate traits, it wouldn't be understood as "homosexuality", and Christians (including Sherri) wouldn't talk about "a homosexual". But they are, and that goes even if you never act on those desires. It's not gay people who came up with the concept of "gay people".

That's a nice write up, but Christians have beliefs that have no bearings in reality.

My experience is that the only one who will ever tell me I'm beautiful is my mother.
So it kind of enrages me to hear people complaining about having it good and being complimented for it.

Pretty much everyone equates "pretty" and "thin".
She gets an unfair advantage in everything in life, of course they complain.

But she *is* better looking than them because she is thin. What does she expect them to do?

Because when you're fat no one ever tells you you are beautiful and means it, they just tell you you are beautiful so they don't have to feel bad about having an unfair advantage at everything at life.

It's not enough that she gets constant validation that she's better than them?
If she doesn't want fat friends, she should get some friends who are more like her.

I feel like I would stand like her, if I'd never worn a fancy dress before. And then a sensible friend would tell me to STRAIGHTEN THE FUCK UP and I would look at pictures of myself and go "Oh, God, yes, I need to stop doing that with my shoulders" and henceforth I would look glorious in fancy dresses.

or Seinfeld.

Exactly. And I think he had kids with Royal. So, no sympathy here- for him nor her.

Wasn't she previously the "other woman" when Hollande was with Segolene Royal? So I think this is a case of "if you can't take it, don't dish it out".

That is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

I'm a privileged white dude myself. Libertarianism is stupid, hypocritical, and disgusting because its stupid, hypocritical, and disgusting, it doesn't matter who believes in it or why.

So only 100 years of the poor suffering until "it's all good"? Or is that because in 100 years most of the poor will have died off?

A Boy who acts like a girl is seen as someone who is fraudulently partaking in behaviors and social norms that he's not entitled to (* crying, designing, baking, chatterboxing)

Yup, can't blame the demise of men on women when men are running the fucking show. POWER + PREJUDICE = ISM. Women don't have the power, so fuck off with your nonsense.
