This. Newsflash, parents: the world is not your babysitter. If your kid freaks the hell out, it is your job to either calm them down quickly or get the hell out and spare everyone else the tantrum of your little terrorist.

I must be texting wrong - i never expect an immediate response to a text so I might text late at night because I won’t remember but I wouldn’t care if you texted back at 5 am. (Because my phone isn’t in the bed room.)

Same.

If you think a comment on the internet is “eroding” your ancestry, you must have a real frail grip on it.

It’s not even the cameo that’s the problem, it’s how they did it. All but one of the musician cameos the show’s been famous for over the years have been blink and you miss it musical performances by those people (the lone exception was Wilko Johnson as Ilyn Payne).

Are you suggesting that moderation is more appealing than extremes?

Any time I see lofts or ladders to beds I think, “what if they have to pee in the middle of the night?” I can barely drag my sleep-drunken ass down the hallway let outline navigate a ladder in the middle of the night.

is autisim the new retardation where in 10 years its an insult even if it used to be a clinical definition?

Eventually at some point we’ll keep having to come up with new words because everyone hates the meaning behind them.

Fat? Nah, plus size.
Mentally Challenged? (Retardation) Special needs, or (quoting carlin)…

Especially if it’s a place that serves food, like Panera, at lunch and dinner times. If you are that person sitting at a table for 4 with your laptop, papers and a cup of coffee - know that we everyone hates you.

As as a WOC...I don’t really have an issue with what she said. She’s realizing there’s racism and sexism around her which is great. Yes, she said a little clumsily, but at least she said it. Nor did she discount racism or slander WOC. So I have no issues with her, unless I’m missing something?
