Not the victims, only those "suspicious" survivors. "What did they do that they’re not talking about?"

That's the article I had in mind when I commented! It's one thing to acknowledge that past experiences may have led one to feel prejudiced towards a group, but another thing entirely to use those experiences as a blind justification for hating an entire group of people. At least the bloke in AC admitted that his…
No. It is not acceptable when you are a (presumably) paid writer to apply your issues with one or a handful of individuals to a social group as a whole. This article, and your defence of it, is basically saying that because one person has wronged you in the past, it is okay to be naturally suspicious and hateful of…
Seconded. I would like Jezebel to actually address the concern of its readers on this issue, and not just dismiss criticism into the greys.
What did I just read? Oh dear God. Talk about victim-blaming mixed with unresolved personal issues. Thanks for pointing this out.
This. Arguments about foetal viability, life-at-conception, etc. only emerged AFTER Roe v. Wade and were developed by the Christian Right specifically as a way of gaining sympathy for their position, which was founded upon a fear of female sexual freedom and the erosion of "family values". It's a perfect case study…
Is it shaming? Or is it just making fun of?
I already knew (as do most moderately-educated people) that terrorism comes in different forms. I didn't need this cover to teach me that. Yet I still find it distasteful.
But if you can't see what BZuckercorn and what other rational people (not just kneejerk reactors) are saying about glamorizing his terrorism, thennnn... I don't know, I think there has to be serious cognitive dissonance or willful misunderstanding there.
Capitalism.
I actually disagree, in that, honestly, I can't know that there isn't a deity. I can theorise that there is no 'god' on the basis that there have never been any demonstrable proof that there is and the idea of such a being runs counter to what we know of basic physics, biology, etc. But science doesn't "prove"…
You also can't demonstrate the existence of God. Both atheism and theism require belief, or dare I say, faith. Whether one's faith is based on a complete dearth of objective evidence, or on "evidence" in the form of stories passed on from generation to generation is another thing entirely.
Lena Headey would have been my nomination. Dany is such a strong character in the book, but the TV characterisation reduces her to boobs and dragons, and Clarke's portrayal seems listless and uncertain. Lena, on the other hand, just KILLS it, and her descent from assured and powerful to slightly mad and increasingly…
You are a wonderful man and have raised an equally wonderful and intelligent daughter, who clearly chooses her friends well. Don't ever stop standing up to the bullies. Those with the most radical opinions always scream the loudest and resort to the worst tactics, and in the long-run they usually end up losing. You…
And they say in this economy young folks are struggling to find work.
Next to "Robin Thicke: Pretty Fly for a White Guy", on the cover of a music and pop culture magazine that almost exclusively devotes its cover to people like Justin Beiber and sells its covers online as posters to be hung on your wall.
I haven't seen it on Esquire's cover, but I'm not a subscriber. The problem is not with the photo, but with the context.
Zing!
22 words have never made less sense to me.
