What is this coveted status Tony Robbins and George Will seem to think accusers enjoy? These turds think Anita Hill or Rose McGowan or Andrea Constand are walking around with a #MeToo punch card where if you accuse nine high profile men of sexual misconduct, you get a free mani/pedi with the tenth accusation.

I always get pissed off about these types of motivational speakers that view any type of externalization of blame as “victimhood” or “blaming others.” It always reads, to me, like what they’re trying to do is guilt you and make you dislike yourself so that you’ll buy their next book/attend their next seminar on how to…

People still go to Tony Robbins seminars? I thought he turned into one giant fossilized tooth years ago.

I don’t mean this in an aggressive way, sorry to respond multiple times to you. But, if you are genuinely interested in the real context of Backpage, here is some information for you from the Washington Post:

I know you didn’t ask me, but I’ll answer anyway : ) The information provided is actually not at all the general context of the action. FOSTA and SESTA are legislation- they are not the law, they haven’t even gone to conference committee. FOSTA and SESTA are completely irrelevant to what is happening to Backpage.

Yep, I live in the Netherlands where: 1) prostitution is legal and there are a number of social services available to sex workers; and 2) the Netherlands is one of the world’s top sex trafficking destination countries and sex trafficking is a huge problem here. The percentage of Dutch women in sex work is the minority…

It does not. While I do enjoy the show, it is nerve wracking. Sometimes nearly to the point of unbearable discomfort. As you said, those that don’t have skin in the game can afford to indulge in such disingenuous, appalling behavior. And white men rarely, if ever, have skin in the game.

Arguing that women who have abortions are murderers isn’t a unique point of view, but believing that it is insightful or interesting only speaks to the remove of op-ed pages from communities where this is pretty status quo.

man, if that back seat could talk, amirite?

I’ve heard it said multiple times that the two best things ever to happen to Texas were 1) air conditioning and 2) the easy oil running out.

Oklahoma has a serious problem: it’s cripplingly dependent on petroleum extraction and military installations, and not much else. (Hobby Lobby is HQ’ed there; whoopie-doo.) You’d think the state would understand that it needs to develop an educated workforce to have a prayer in hell of attracting investment, which is…

Since no one else has said it, can I send a big fuck you to Tyler Perry as well? So you’re going to take money that you promised to people in need and put it directly into the pocket of an already-rich person because you think they’re great? Come on.

As a Christian, few things infuriate me more than assholes who use the faith to enrich themselves while taking from others. The prosperity gospel is horse manure at best.

Speaking as a person, I think Joel Osteen is a rubbish person. Speaking as a Christian, I think Joel Osteen is an absolute garbage monster who is the one of the worst kind of Christians — the hypocrite.

He also preached to survivors not to give in to a “victimhood mentality” then passed around the collection plate. I’m not kidding. He passed around the collection plate asking people who have probably lost everything to give him money. This guy has no shame and doesn’t even pretend to be anything other than a money…

How about calling local media and saying “WE’RE OPEN IF ANYONE NEEDS SHELTER! PLEASE DIRECT PEOPLE TO COME HERE” Get on Twitter & FB and let people know.

Any church or other religious organization that is physically capable of offering shelter during a disaster and doesn’t should have its tax-free status automatically revoked. They should have to pay taxes like any other business until they can prove their charitable value to the community.

There’s a woman I went to school with who posted a status update about a year ago that she had finally fulfilled her lifelong dream, one that she had nurtured throughout her childhood in an incredibly poor African country. That dream? To go to a service at Lakewood fucking Church. The top of my head blew clear off

Bargain bin Benedict Cumberbatch ass

Yep, it and employs basically the same logic that led the Afrikaaner church to create Apartheid. If you’re claiming that earthly success is a sign of God’s favor, the implied message is also that if you’re poor, you’re on the G-man’s shit list. And if you’re on His holy shit list, why should any of us care about…
