My mom gets somewhat scandalized that I voluntarily eat turnips and dandelion greens. She grew up very poor and there were many days on end that they had nothing to eat but turnips and whatever wild greens they could find. She vowed to never feed her children either of those foods. To her, they will always…

Now, if my mother said that to me, I would laugh. Because it is so absurd, it is clearly a joke. Just like the comment made by jennyapple's mom, which was obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Not sure what racism has to do with any of this.

People are really out with the pitchforks today, jeeze. Context, humor, tongue-in-cheek be damned! They cannot allow any cute, flippant anecdote go unpunished!

I'm happy to hear you never experienced my unemployed boyfriend.

You don't have to feel sorry for Brown. But we shouldn't view a traumatic childhood experience as another excuse to criticize him. The fact that he doesn't know how to process or talk about his childhood trauma doesn't make him a worse person than he already was. People don't always respond to trauma in a great way.…

Aw, I recognized your name, so I knew you were being sarcastic. Also, I feel like the phrase "Doug says" has some serious meme potential.

Yeah, the absolute lack of empathy for a human child is appalling. Brown may be a shitty adult, but his little 8 year-old self didn't deserve to be raped. This article is so fucked up.

If that isn't a good character reference, I don't know what is!

I will remember the sarcastistrix when I venture out of GT-land!

Heehee, yeah I was being sarcastic. Sorry, I thought that was such a crazy thing to say it would be obvious. But I just realized, it is exactly the sort of thing some asshole might say. *cough cough, see above thread*

It is quite precious. Not very original, but what can you do.

Just like men know way more about breast anatomy than women do, women know way more about dick anatomy.

Well well well, Mr Twain! Someone was a little vain about his appearance, no? A little bitter about not being a member of the photogenic club?

I have no words, so I send Hug Horse. Who, incidentally, is also Bigot-Kicker Horse.

When I hear stories like yours and Cassidy's, I am honestly in awe of your strength. Because high school was the worst, most painful years of my life and I had it EASY.

What really got me was "I need to be strong for the kids that I did this for and people I did this for." She's so young! No teenager should have to feel that kind of pressure on top of everything else.

Me too! Mee tooo!

Careful! You don't want to awaken the rage demon that is Kubrick fans who have heard the suggestion that Kubrick is anything less than a cinematic genius-god!

Between these two videos, I gotta say the answer is YES.
