I can’t believe how people get so offended at the thought that someone else is going into a small amount of debt for a wedding or trip. Not all of us have parents to bankroll it for us. Also, nothing wrong with just wanting money. I returned a lot of the gifts we got (I think I got three waffle makers) and it would…

There are different cultures and traditions where a money dance is perfectly normal and part of the celebration and it’s definitely not “gross.” They’ve actually been around for a long time and there’s nothing wrong with them. If it’s not your thing, then you can choose something else. Personally, I always thought…

Probably. I wasn’t familiar with it really, but my mom said we should have one. Everyone seemed to know what it was. It was actually kind of nice to just get to dance with a lot of different people, with an extra plus that they gave you little gifts of money.

Invite a bunch of Italian and Chinese friends. They will have no problems giving you cash!

I’m getting a lot of snippy responses on how I should pay for my own wedding. Please take several seats - I was using hyperbole, we’re financially sound, I just dont want the damn gifts. I’d rather pay off the small amount that we’ll be left with after our wedding. Considering we’ve already paid for 75% of our entire…

Thank you thank you thank you. I have been reading the comments thinking I was the only HORRIBLE person who got married in her mid-30s, had a registry, and enjoyed it. BabyGirlsDaddy and I had been living together for a couple years and on our own before that but everything we had was just a collection of stuff we got…

My cousin is getting married in a few months and even though they’re mid to late 20s I don’t mind getting them a gift. They’ve been cohabiting for a while but they’re really just getting started and it’s nice to have nicer things. But like some people I really wonder about. Another cousin married a millionaire a few…

You do realize that immigrants are being warehoused in private detention centers. Immigrants have been denied health care, sexually assaulted, and some have died. Also, because of our obsolete immigration laws and jurisprudence, many immigrants are deported back to certain murder, death, torture, and rape. Have…

This was before trump took power . Imagine the horror stories we will be hearing in a few weeks .

I’ve been trying to reconnect with relatives in Mexico to help put together a contingency plan in case my brother gets deported. He’s the only sibling not born in the US and he’s been here since he was a baby. He’s got no idea what life in Mexico would be like, doesn’t know anyone down there, would have no idea where…

My family is Eastern European Jewish. I know what happened to most of my genetic line.

I am a Spanish teacher who went to grad school with several DACA recipients, and I have also lived on the border and in Mexico City and Central America, so I am pretty familiar with this phenomenon.

There is not legal path to her, her parents gave away her rights, DACA is not a path to citizenship and no U.S.A. is not easy to migrate, Mexico is so much easier, stop writing stuff you have no idea. You are right on Australia though.

That’s fucking ridiculous. Wow.

I knew a guy who got deported recently who came to the US with his parents when he was 6 months old . He was found out due to a loud noise complain that turned into him getting arrested . He doesn’t speak Spanish and is now living with distant relatives in Guatemala .

DO NOT FORGET that this is what they wanted. This is what his supporters wanted. They talked about criminals and rapists and shit but they just wanted everyone brown GONE. Don’t wait for them to be horrified at what they have wrought.

My god brother was deported about 15 years ago. He was sent back to a country he had no contacts with. He was dead within a month.

The question that needs to be asked EVERY single day is “If there are so many ‘bad hombres’ out there, then why is ICE wasting time and money on arresting children, dreamers, working fathers, and mothers waiting for emergency brain surgery.”

This enrages me so much. Like, I just can’t...

It’s OK, the dumpster fire is now presidential..
