Since Benghazi was the subject of the discussion, I present you with images of Libyan protestors after the attack in Benghazi.

WTF is this dress? It's like a cat shredded a tablecloth.

Thank you! I'm getting vases at Goodwill for my centerpieces. Cheaper than mason jars and way less obnoxious :)

OOoooh I love that! thank you! Any recommendations on where to get cute pie/pastry stands? I don't want to break the bank :/

In my house, the clean laundry cake must be garnished with at least one cat.

almost as good as Rachael Ray's late night bacon recipe, involving...microwaving bacon.

Somehow seeing it just makes it that much sadder. I was hoping when I read this that it would be about the Krispy Kreme bread pudding I had at a restaurant in Norfolk, VA. That stuff is gooooood.

Does anyone have any good ideas for pie displays at a wedding? We're having a pie bar, not a cake, because pie > cake. I'm unwilling to ask Pinterest for wedding ideas because it scares me.

That doesn't mean they were bred for it. They have been used for many things, but that's not what they were bred for, and your family history doesn't change that fact.

My current dog is the first dog I ever had. When I met her, the rescue asked me to give her a chance. I took one look and thought "nope, no way - that's part pit, it'll kill me." But damn if she wasn't sweet, so I agreed to foster her...and then I coudn't let her go. Aside from slight reactiveness to other dogs, she…

My snugglebutt pit mix had very high odds of not making it out of her shelter alive. I remind her of that when she steals the blankets at night - doesn't make a difference.

That is also not true. Seriously people, do some research. They were NOT bred to be nanny dogs - the nanny dog thing is a myth promulgated by the pro-pit groups. Oh and I love pit bulls, but that nanny dog faux history is complete BS.

Well, even if that were true (and that's pretty debatable) the history of the breed is pretty cut and dry - they were bred to fight dogs. That's an actual fact.

Yeah - that situation and the parents' response reflects very poorly on them as dog owners. Completely irresponsible. Most likely the dog was being protective, but that's not ok. And she shouldn't have been out with a dog on a leash while she was on a bike, especially a dog she clearly couldn't control.

Yes, thank you. It's not as simple as "pits are good" vs "pits are the devil's spawn." Animals are animals and you have to understand what you're dealing with. My pit mix is a lazy, snuggly couch potato who won't walk up the stairs if a cat is on them. But she's definitely dog aggressive so she doesn't get near other…

"You know nothing about dogs. A trained dog and a loved dog and a non abused dog will not attack anyone. Its that simple."

They're bred to fight other dogs, not humans. I don't let my pit mix near other dogs because she is very reactive, but she's submissive and friendly to humans. My cats terrify her.

No, the Kurdistan Regional Government absolutely does not have a majority of the oil. That's not even close to correct. Now that they seized Kirkuk they have a little more though.

The Iraqi government has been happy to be Iran's little bitch for the last few years. Let Iran deal with it.
