Funny ... when Buddhists and Hindus spend lives in simplicity and contemplation, it's considered deep and meaningful. When Catholic women do it, it's considered weird and repressed. How dare they decide to devote their lives to a spiritual quest and serving others when they could be focusing on clothes, shoes, money…

I highly doubt these women see it as a waste of time given that no one coerced them into doing this. And who are you to decide what is or isn’t a wasteful life anyway?

But chasing a pigskin sphere around a lawn is worth $10 million a year.

Thank you Deadspin, for the Christmas gift of this article’s comment section.

When approving of a meal, my husband and I now nod to each other and say “good bake.” When disapproving, we turn to each other and say “I wouldn’t eat that, Mary.”

If only they had some sort of test, easily available, widely used, and cheap, to give women when they are either going through already mandatory medical examinations and intake intake into a correctional facility or else when a woman claimed to be pregnant already in custody in a facility that undoubtably has at least…

I was 10, which means my older sister was 13. I saw her and mom in the bathroom together a lot. And I was all WTF is this about? And more importantly, what am I missing out on?

For anybody trying to avoid them before they’re entirely phases out, they should be listed under ingredients as polyethylene or polypropylene.

Wait, the first day of the rest of Yolanda’s life is happening in 1985? What’s going on?

Sounds like she’s done more learning and reflection. Good for her.

Hold up... I thought Lucas got bought out. She killed him? I mean, I didn’t like the prequels either, but that seems harsh, Carrie.

Yep. Just saw people yesterday talking on Facebook about how terribly middle eastern countries treat women and how we shouldn’t accept refugees. And all I could think was, “Yeah, because we don’t have assholes who hate women and terrorize them in this country.” And then this. For once, I wish I was wrong. But even…

Seriously, you need to stop it. It doesn’t matter what her grandmother’s motivation was, JenisaurusRex is not obligated to try and understand why or to forgive her. I am seriously appalled that you’ve written several posts now that dismiss and guilt the OP for her feelings and you just. Keep. Going. Take your false…

The difficulty is that a lot of people imagine that Catholicism is a monolith—and, certainly, the Vatican encourages that image—but it can be incredibly varied by both place and time. The “abusive” stories and the “awesome” stories are equally true, in my experience. The major problem seems to be that Catholicism does…

That’s my worry with most weapons. I got into an argument on fb about this. Dude was like “just get a gun” and I said it was more likely to be used against me than protect me and I’d rather not end up in jail for killing someone. He said that he guesses I want to be raped then. Some people are just assholes.

Does it make a difference if the person in question has the hots for your partner? Maybe it’s just me, but when that person would be SO down in case my partner ever wanted some extracurriculars, I feel like it’s a hard pass for me. His friends don’t have to be my friends, but they do need to have a basic respect for…

So, if the government came up to your house, which you have had for 60 years, blew up your garage, exposed you to radiation when claiming it was safe and used gang-land tactics to try and take over your land with hostile intent (from bullying and ‘security checkpoints) and THEN tried to pay you, you’d be like “Sure,…

If a hotel or a B&B has (and especially if they advertise it as a reason for booking with them) a service or amenity that then malfunctions and kills a guest, they are liable. Because they know they are clearly going to be held liable should such a thing occur, they put some of their resources into making sure…

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

Rrright, because posters here are in the “killing your children is ok” camp.
