I'm reminded of my favorite line from Major League for some reason:

My underwear is holey. Is that close enough?

Blind faith is mostly with the havenots of the world. They don't have many means, so they believe in God to have some kinda sense of direction, or purpose. don't mock that. For the record I'm not saying only poor people believe in God. I'm just saying that's a factor.

Why not? Is a threat of going to hell all that different from a threat of being branded a bad wife or a bad mother, for example, for those who earnestly believe those are dire consequences? I'm no fan of organised religion but the willful ignorance and/or misunderstanding of its variance around the world by determined…

You don't seem to understand the stakes involved here. Kenya is a country where recalcitrant women are still burned as witches. Where of 75% women have been the victims of domestic violence and the majority of women still believe it's acceptable for men to beat their wives. Where it's ok for a male mayor to slap a…

It's like the ol' saying, "the lower the tits the closer to God.. " amirite?

See, ladies, it's only your fancy schmancy frilly undies that block the sweet, loving power of the Lord from saving your soul.

A penis is not a racism eraser.

If I wore blackface my (Black) wife would kick my goolies up to my tonsils.

By his logic, all the slave-owners that raped their slaves couldn't be racist because they, also, had sex with black women. Fucking ridiculous.

Actually, I think you're confusing Idris Elba with Lenny Kravitz.

Im sorry Im not a woman underneath Idris Elba.

My sister wasn't able to conquer her addictions either. But I wouldn't call her "stupid." I'd call her beautiful, artistic, kind, funny, deeply troubled, incredibly sad, and gone tragically early.

Does it matter at all that the aforementioned pizza styles were popularized in the US by Italian immigrants?

You're welcome for the tomatoes, btw.

Bwah. That's ridiculous. By all means, call out Americans on our bastardizations of various cultural practices. But comparing eating pasta to wearing the headdresses of groups who were all but eliminated from two continents? Get a grip.

Minority status has nothing to do with it. (Though nevermind that Italian-Americans are, like, the 6th largest ethnic group in the US.) Italians came to America and happily introduced (and subsequently changed) their foods to (for) non-Italian audiences. Moreover, Italian-Americans have been allowed to integrate into…

Does someone being attractive preclude them being smart? Where is this magical formula with which you have worked out your children's IQ's, or hers? Are you aware that measuring an Intelligence Quotient is considered a terribly inexact and redundant science and that there are different forms of intelligence? Or that…

Exactly, Gotttfied's face I just want to slap. Stewarts' I want to sit on.

My little sister had the same thing. She was taking both antidepressants (which had the same effects that you describe) and steroids (that made her bones ache, so she couldn't exercise). Watching my sister (who was always quite slim before this) go through the antidepressant cycle made me realize how awful (although…

My entire family is obese. And, I'm not saying obese to be mean; I'm a doctor and they medically fit the criteria for obesity. I see the way that people look at them when we all board a plane together. Quite honestly the only thing that holds me back from slapping those judgmental assholes in the face is that I…
