I hate to say it, but I feel like I’ve been conditioned to be happy that anyone get any time when it comes to these type of situations. That’s obliviously not a good thing big picture, but I am happy they at least nailed him for something, and he didn’t just walk.

Okay, but you (and I) don’t know her, so how do we know how she feels? Maybe she doesn’t give a shit, maybe she feels like shit. I mean, I would feel like shit (which is what I said in the comment, without assuming that she feels the same way as me), but I don’t know her and neither do you so it’s best to allow for a

Like I said to another commenter, I’m sure not all rich kids are qualm-free about being born on third base. I’m sure there are some that want to earn what they work hard for rather than it being handed to them because of who their parents are.

I mean, I feel like it can go either way. Some rich kids probably love the leg up and and some probably hate that they always have to wonder if their accomplishments resulted from their working hard or from their parents’ money/influence.

Noted. Seems like a PITA to keep taking off and putting on all night but I suppose there are people who plan their bathroom breaks better than myself where they aren't ripping off their jeans to make it just in time.

I swear to god, "cultural appropriation" is just a new way of saying "I don't like what you're doing so I'll find a way of hating on it that makes me look good, too."

Totally agree, Squints. I really think this whole idea of cultural appropriation is just bizarre. We did all kinds of things in the 70's as a kid and it always done with nothing but respect and a desire to be in another cultures shoes (or jewelry, or turban) for a bit. It helped bridge the gap between Us and Them. How

You're upset because the fake jewelry looks like real jewelry that people wear in other parts of the world? Who the hell cares? It's all just decorative.

How are these men even allowed to fly? Isn't there some rule that you must assist passengers in the event of a crash? If these men refuse to touch women, won't they also refuse to be touched or touch in the even of a needed rescue?

Flying on a plane with your period is just irresponsible. You want to attract flying bears? Because that’s how you attract flying bears.

When I was a F/A I heard some stories of Hasidic men asking the flight attendants if they were “dirty” meaning on their periods on flights to Tel Aviv. Apparently the men cannot accept service items from “dirty” women. Most F/A’s would answer that they were absolutely on their period.

It is against gods natural law for a man to sit next to a woman! Please let me sit in this aluminum tube flying 5 miles up in the air at 500mph in peace!!

Frankly, I think it’s just stunningly childish and irresponsible that these people would get on airplanes without up to date Cooties vaccinations in the first place.

I voted for IMAX too. IMAX is pretty much always good. Weddings range from pretty damn fun to tortuous.

Seamless is an online food delivery service. Unless you live in a handful of cities, there's no reason to know about it. Eggplant Friday is when dudes post pictures of their dicks, but with clothes on.

The internet section makes me feel like the oldest person in the world. I'm too intimidated to shop online, and Skype sex seems like it would be hard to take seriously. What is Seamless (besides a really good Scrabble turn when you have three S's)? What's a surprise album? Throwback Thursday is the one where people

Also, people voting for weddings must have fun friends. Most weddings I go to get boring fast, even with an open bar. I've been to 4 weddings in the past year (I'm at that age) and all 4 had open bars, only one was fun, but even then... not amazingly so.

I agree - it totally normalizes the idea that a woman can (and should) transform a really bad guy. This is what leads to 'he's only mean to me sometimes'. Partner abuse in the teenage community is growing and fairy tales contribute to that.

See, as grown, educated adults we get to take stories like these at face value. But this is what we are raising our kids on. I mean, these princess stories are the fabric of many little girls childhoods. I had no idea how intense princess culture had become until having a daughter myself, and there are little girls

umm... the name Belle? No. That is so far from the problem.
