When going through cancer treatment, various friends' dogs (and a random iguana) would guard me and whenever I'd get tired or start to not feel good, they'd REALLY guard me, and make sure that people left me alone. Usually by sitting on me, or giving the stink eye to anyone who talked louder than a whisper. My heart…

parenting is mostly voodoo. this seems like as good of a strategy as any

Its one of those damned if we do, damned if we don't type things if you ask me. How are we going to get the girls back short of military action (I doubt that negotiations would work) and I don't want our country to be a world police officer going around.

For real - taking a look at what they had available in the box it's all Neutrogena, Cetaphil and Treseme hair spray. You didn't get the cheap drugstore beauty products in the box that you wanted? Go shop the sale bins at Walgreen's. Call me when they're offering a giant box with full sized Clinique or Sheseido or…

ehhh when I was younger I was "scary skinny" and I ate a ton. Which came around to bite me in the ass after college and my metabolism normalized and now I put on weight like an average person. So thanks for your judgment, but no

Uh...nope. It can also be genes. Like mine. I have a genetic disorder that makes it harder for me to gain weight. My sister does not have this disorder, but having high metabolisms run in our family. Do you have a source on thinness only being caused by undereating or "psychological issues?"

If Lohan doesn't like Jennifer Lawrence, it's most likely because she thinks she should have Jennifer's career and blames everyone but herself for her lack of success.

that's literally the point, that this kind of objectification happens to women all the time in every place.

Colin Kaepernick is being investigated for his tangential involvement in a situation that, so far, was neither sexual or violent. Thus far, all we know is that a woman fell asleep naked in a room near some athletes and woke up in a hospital, and that one of the athletes called the police to get them to come get the…

You forgot to mention the title of the painting, "The Aristocrats."

If you really want to accuse him of something, why not go ahead and do it rather than confusing every single reader you have with your bizarre phrasing?

I think that's what happens when you try to make a story out of a non-story.

You are absolutely overestimating the ability of children to understand "valid" sources. I'm a high school teacher, and it's incredibly difficult for them to understand legitimate sources. Unless you wrote the assignment and know that about.com is there for that purpose, I just can not see that this assignment is at…

No those would be pretty dumb questions. Seriously, would you want to read 30+ papers on whether or not the Civil War happened? There is nothing intellectually interesting about that question. How is a kid even going to approach it? Are we going to send her out into a battle field with a metal detector to look for…

Not saying the boob grab was or was not on purpose, but if you're going to grab someone from behind on any part of their body you'd better expect to get hit. That's like sneaking up on someone in a dark house.

Note that Holocaust denial typically centers on the Jewish experience of it; the deaths of Jews constituted 6 million out of around 11 million systematic killings by the Nazis. This simultaneously erases the 5 million others who were killed and shits all over their memories, while also still being fucking shitty to…

I had to do an assignment kind of like this in undergrad. It is was in a class about the social construction of social problems. We were talking about how problems are framed, and we used the Holocaust conspiracy as an example of how people sometimes try to reframe social problems as non-issues (so in this case,…

Also, ethnic bioweapons are ones ttargeted *AT* a specific ethnicity, NOT ones for which the general populace is vulnerable, but a specific ethnicity is immune to.
