Nope. Not like “light beer” at all. While this is terrible, I believe that the Navajo nation (or any Native American nation) copyright their name. Then, OU, Jeep, etc need to pay royalties or, you know, not use Native American names in such an offensive way. It’s the only this corporations understand. Say bye bye to…

First sentance, second paragraph. I think you mean “die” not “day”. It's ok, a fear of impending doom is a good excuse for a typo. :)

Yup! My end of 2015 is fairly bleak too but at least it's not this.

Dziekuje! Dziekuje! Omg I'm so excited!

Pierogi, cats and prog Rock??? I wanna come!! I wanna come!!!!

can’t it be both? If it was up to me, I would give the guy life with no chance of parole.

Yeah, it usually costs 3-4 times as much to execute someone then to put them away for life. The average execution costs $90,000 MORE per year per inmate than life without parole. (Those stats are for California, per deathpenalty.org)

I’m still against the death penalty in general, but with this guy, like with Isis fighters getting beheaded in the Middle East, it’s kind of hard to be too torn up about it. Like, yes, I’d still rather they didn’t implement the death penalty but I’m not exactly going to be writing on behalf of Amnesty International…

It’s cute that they think that Texas or Alabama are similarly high on the ISIS list as Paris.

I have to say I get flack from both sides (I’m a pescetarian so I guess I lean closer to the omnivore side... just no food with feet, thanks... personal preference). I have a boss, who I genuinely adore, but who often asks if I eat “vegetarian cows” because the cow only eats grass. I’ve had bits of bacon waved in my…

If I had experienced this moment, I would also hold it very dear to my heart. As a (transplant) NYer, I picture the clown who bought it as a bumbling tourist and the guy selling as a cunning and entrepreneurial chap with that classic NY rudeness/contempt for tourists.

No! this is not true! This... I refuse to believe that someone bought a snowball in a snowstorm. I can’t.
Even though I know in my heart I do believe you but I don’t want to.

I’ve got NYC leaves mixed with subway trash, cigarette butts and a homeless guy’s pee for $39.99..... you pay more because its NYC.

I’m a catholic-turned-atheist and these offend me. Get your stinking fetuses out of the rosary beads. I hate religion pushing a particular political point, such as anti-choicers. This is like the commodification of something that I grew up thinking was a personal mode of reflection and prayer (even if I don’t believe…

I never until this day knew that they were called latkes or that they were a Jewish dish, because I’ve been eating them in my whole 26 years of being Polish and always called them ‘placki ziemniaczane’ but ‘latkes’ seems so much more pronouncable than the Polish way. (I’m sure there are differences in the…

For me, it was a lot of early travel and eventually moving to New York and being faced with so much more diversity than I ever had before. I remember my first visit to NY when I got on a subway car and there were six people reading six newspapers in six different languages and I was like “yup, this is my place”. It is…

Yes! My parents let me use my middle name (not really a nickname but its comparable) and I’ve kept using it. We moved to an English-speaking country and I hated the translation of my first name. And my name in the original language is just too complicated and with too many consonants (Eastern Europe, what can you…

As a wayward Catholic who has had experience with all those levels of Christianity, I really appreciate this. It was like “oh! [lightbulb switches on above head] Thank you. A lifetime in Catholic school with nuns doesn’t really provide a fertile ground for more than a cursory knowledge of other belief systems.

Does this mean good old Queen Lizzie should be worrie? Asking as a commonwealth-er. (Edited for grammar because it's Monday)

You are like a painter who uses words, that image was breathtaking (I also snorte my iced coffee)
