Plus, I think sometimes in situations with violent criminals, it's sometimes quicker and more efficient for a bounty hunter to track them down. The police have to abide by stringent laws that bounty hunters don't necessarily have to abide by (the bail bonds business is notoriously unregulated). With the strain on…

I see you missed my point entirely.

A man who has sex with his drunk girlfriend "even though she wanted to have sex" is already a felony...

If the cops came around and shot teenagers of your color in your community, you would be pissed off too. The looting doesn't happen in white communities because cops are not going around shooting unarmed white teenagers. When the authority doesn't see you as human, how are you supposed to respect them?

Cops where I live have a habit of shooting people who run from them too. Don't know how they get away with it, but it seems like the police get more and more trigger-happy. Or maybe we just hear about it more now.

It's so sad to me that the kindest people get hit hardest with life's difficulties. Not fair at all.

Oh, man. That one got me.

It said there was a paragraph on handcuffs; it doesn't seem like they're going into detail of hardcore bondage. By high school, nearly all of my female classmates had already started having sex, so I don't think it's unreasonable to have a paragraph about having slightly-non-vanilla sex safely.

Seriously. Newsflash: 13 year olds (yes, even girls) are already thinking about sex.

But I'm not sure anyone is clamoring for a Marc Jacobs plus size line. I think what people want is more plus-size options in regular stores - Target, Kohl's, Penney's, etc. A lot of them have plus size clothes, but only online, and if you have any curves, you can't just buy clothes without trying them on. Why can't…

You completely missed the point. Women who are a size 20 can't afford to buy designer clothes anyway because poor people are significantly more likely to be overweight. A size 14 is not large (for reference, Christina Hendricks wears a size 14 in some brands). You can quit smoking. For most Americans of very limited…

Agreed. When I go shopping in my neighborhood, I have to get to sales very early because the L's and XL's are gone in an hour. The clearance racks are filled with S and XS sizes - stores are not even trying to market to a majority of the women who live in this country. I shouldn't have to go to a Lane Bryant to get a…

I have the same issue. And I'm short - what's up with the weird-ass fits on petite-sized pants? Apparently no short women have hips or butts.

I hear you. I do way more work and take way more crap that my male coworkers who are "buddy-buddy" with the boss.

An increased risk of heart disease doesn't mean an obese person actually has heart disease, so your assumption that all obese people are unhealthy is a false one. The only one who knows whether a body is healthy is that person's doctor. Case in point: I had a friend who went through a bout of leukemia and lost a lot…

Even obese bodies can do wonderful things, like birth children, carry babies, have sex, etc. You have no right to tell anyone that they are unhealthy or that they should not appreciate their body because they are a certain size or weight. You're not entitled to pass judgment on other bodies because you don't know the…

Which outright falsehoods were those again?

If he wants to hook up, trust that he wants to hook up. I'm "fat" according to society too and I've never had any complaints from men. When you get naked, it's not the parts you're worried about that he's going to be looking at, and if he's seen full-body photos of you, he knows what he's in for and wants it!

Interesting point, but most porn actually displays a pretty wide range of body diversity, especially with the popularization of amateur porn (I'm talking porn-porn, not Playboy type stuff).
