Absolutely with you on the arrest and commitment part. But the story isn't funny, it's sad. It's awful that he became violent and that he tried to steal. A woman I used to work for was brutally murdered by a mentally ill man, and that man should be committed for life, no question. The issue I have is that this story…

No, you're right. Actually, why don't we all take a trip to the local asylum and laugh at all the nutjobs? Oh, wait, people did do that during medieval times and it was unbelievably cruel. I understand that most people do not have someone who has dealt with mental illness in their family, but when someone you love…

No, no, let's all laugh at the man who was clearly very sick. It's hilarious because he's mentally ill, get it? GET IT? Seriously the number one reason I'll never work in the service industry again: too many people you work with are heartless jerkwads.

This is a great idea, but sadly doesn't work because, whereas women are subjected to this treatment on a daily basis and know to expect it, these men just get confused. Men being catcalled is so outside of the norm that they're just baffled.

From NorCal, lived in Minneapolis for a year, you guys do not have good Mexican food. Midwesterners like to brag about eating spicy things, but the Mexican food really isn't that flavorful, doesn't have the heat it has out here. And, hell, anyone from San Diego would say that people from the Bay Area don't know what…

Not being a poser here, but as a white person who's mostly a Euro mutt and a grandmama who read as Jewish (apparently older women would often approach her speaking Yiddish), it was really interesting to find out that my family actually does have (a very small amount of) Cherokee blood on my maternal line. All of the…

Anger among African-American women as a result of broken infrastructure is justified, but it doesn't give anyone a pass to take criminal action (to be clear, I don't mean criminal in the sense of fighting laws/politics that are racist). Furthermore, the bus driver's accent gives me the impression she's not originally…

Part of feminism is having the ability to make decisions about your life and your body, and is also about accepting that other women have that right and you don't get to impose your will on to them. HOWEVER, from an environmental standpoint, the media's celebration of the Duggar's disgusts me. Being a part of the…

My friend lives in the student apartments in Isla Vista and had no idea this was happening until I texted her a couple minutes ago. Fuck this school

Yes, exactly this! Children who are removed from incredibly abusive situations often have a desire to be placed back with their parents - it's biology. Also, as Farrah was raised with abuse camouflaged as love, it's probably incredibly difficult to remove herself from the situation because a lot of her mother's toxic…

I hope by the time I'm 28 I can quit my addiction to shitheads, too. Seriously. I am actually involved with an ex-cokehead "hot guy" with anger issues right this second and this article has made me realize he is that shitty character from this shitty 90s movie and fuck. But, again, in all seriousness, I've only ever…

My boyfriend and I met at a bar when I was on a date with someone else. The someone else was an OK Cupid find, really just someone to get a drink with after work because at the time I would get off at midnight and I was new to the city. We met at a place downtown with some of his friends and then migrated to this…

My friend's little brothers were vegetarian for years because of a "comic book" PETA gave them - it's one of their most reliable tactics. They disgust me and I personally believe that factory farming and our general way of growing food is fundamentally flawed. I'm their target audience and they alienated me long ago.…

Thanks!

Someone should covertly date this guy and then ruin his life from the inside out.

Oh, it's more I think that lonely, powerless people are primarily the ones in these forums. We're a social species and thus we like to conform, we don't really know that, but that's the case. And so people see an opportunity to throw their weight around and they make you feel like shit for some off-handed comment...…
