I actually totally agree. She also doesn't seem to have gone on a plastic surgery spree at any time after, so it seems pretty tame and low key (at least to me).

I will likely get ripped for this, but I have no problem with Lisa getting a nose job at 16.

Fun fact: this lady is an anti-vacciner. That's all you need to know on top of this hot mess.

No. But there are hazards. Like, I don't know, sepsis.

I find obstetric fistulas, shoulder dystocia, a prolapsed uterus, permanent incontinence and a brain damaged or dead infant way scarier than a c-section, but that's just me.

Thank you for your story and your strength. May I ask a difficult question? Why was your father not more vocal about your mother and her controlling strategy regarding you? Have you spoken with him about it?

Lindsay Lohan, in a karaoke bar, singing someone else's songs = less time to release her own. Bless.

How about posting the entire email exchange so, ya know, we can compare the tone of this teachers complaint to the tone and language of the response and make like an informed decision on the matter.

for God's sake (ha!) I never find a satisfactory answer from any gay people I talk to for why they want to work at a religious institution that openly espouses hatred for you. It's just confusing to me *throws up hands*

Good.

"Yet another Catholic School acts exactly has anyone raised in a strict Catholic environment would expect, including the teacher."

So it's ok to be gay and a teacher but once you get married that's just too much? Whatever, I have no problem with them enforcing the anti-gay church stuff but then they should enforce the other rules too. Make sure none of the other teachers are having premarital sex, or looking at porn, giving 10% of their income…

Perhaps you should be familiar with the blogs before making assumptions? In particular, the fact that contrary to what DiChristina says, the bloggers who work there have come out in force to say that they are given free reign over their blogs, have no requirements, and could (to quote one) "post cat pictures all day."

People I know laugh and roll their eyes at the manipulative use of the term "professional" and "professionalism" by those who are trying to get them to work for no pay. In this case, using the term "professionalism" to blame the object of the insults is particularly egregious: you can't get any lower and less…

That's bullshit. So no company should ever be held responsible for their wrongdoing (including the wrongdoing of their employees, which legally, they are) because they (the company) might cut jobs or pay?

My personal favorite:

But in all fairness to Kim Zolciak that is actually the wig singing and not her real voice.

Sometimes I wish Jez would provide a few resources with posts like these.

The first thing a person or group does when they realize they need to make big changes is to blame the messenger — in this case, the media. Unless Steubenville is doing something about how their young men treat their young women, their complaints are empty. The care more about their public image than they do the…

People who put their own whiny town pride feelings ahead of an actual human being who was undeniably violated in an unacceptable way are the kind of people who rape, and the kind of people who do nothing after rape happens, and the kind of people who bitch after - miracle of miracles - a rape is prosecuted and…
