That was a completely different country with a completely different context, but sure!

Eww. Just eww. As a JHS teacher, allow me to be very clear: if a student shows any kind of inappropriate interest (and sometimes they do), YOU BE THE ADULT. You tell them it is not appropriate. You arrange for the two of you to never be alone in the same space. You let your department head/supervisor/administrators…

He said an in interview that Catholic church leaders and lay people, as well as those outside the church, are reacting strongly to the Vatican meeting because they aren't accustomed to addressing issues the way Francis advocates.

What is sarcasm? How does it work?

This comment reeks of, "STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS! THERE ARE STARVING CHILDREN IN AFRICA!" This is not the pain olympics. Street harassment and the treatment of rape in India are both issues that deserve discussion and prevention methods.

I put on my "don't rape me face" today and had ten men tell me to smile.

She was treated as newsworthy because she's a relatively young woman who bravely came forward and presented her very personal story in an emotional and articulate matter. It's not as though there are hundreds of people committing medically assisted suicide clamoring to tell their stories, only to be ignored by the…

I think Cracked put it well: "Police are warning parents that criminals are planning to hand out pot-laced candy on Halloween, because if there's one thing people love to do with their pot, it's give it away for free in a manner that will immediately attract law enforcement to their homes."

You know what? I ain't even mad, unlike some of the people on my Facebook.

In one corner of the internet, a woman is making a PSA about being harassed on the street and followed by a creepy man to draw attention to the real problem of street harassment and objectification of women. In another, much more pathetic corner, a dudebro is complaining that he can't interrupt his female colleagues.

Hot Tips For Dealing with Paranoid B-Words At Work

Waaaahhh, any time a show includes people who aren't exactly like me, it needs to serve a political purpose or it's unnecessary and gratuitous. Why can't TV have nothing but straight white Christian men in it like the real world does? Waaaaahhhh.

i WAS the goth kids most of my teen and young adult years and really appreciated a server who didn't make a big deal out of it.

Because judges always, especially if the opposing party has no issue, grant leaves and extensions. Always. If asking for a leave was a huge thing that no one ever did, I might have a bit less sympathy here, but it's not. Extensions are granted as a matter of course, and the fact that this judge didn't is wrong (if not…

This language, "tricked" into an involuntary hold, is bothersome. One does not consent to an involuntary hold, that's what makes it involuntary. There's no pleasant happy way for this to happen. It sounds like the way it happened for Amanda was probably preferable to the way it happens for a lot of people (police…

I wish I was still a registered voter in WI; Scott Walker raises me to Red Lantern Mera levels of rage.

Crikey. That was both hilarious and painful to watch. As entertaining as this lady is, I imagine there must be plenty of animals rights activists out there who hate this shit. Animal rights activists all get lumped in the same category. People like this bag of crazy give a bad name to those reasonable people…

Or if they're asking the same question thousands of others have asked before and they could easily look up the answer to themselves if they really were actually interested in learning something.

I would look for one, but I don't even know which issue the original obnoxious white guy appeared in because I am a fake geek girl.
