See, I agree with that, but to me family is more about being raised as family than it is about biology. I draw the line at siblings or estranged fathers / daughters* , but if cousins grow up never knowing they’re cousins, meet as adults and hit it off, I just can’t get too worked up about it. If their families cared…

“We need to examine the mentality of these applicants. If they are no longer virgins, if they are naughty, it means their mentality is not good.”

Uh, ALL of us.

My friend Jay’s grandparents were first cousins (because that’s how they did things in the Old Country). Jay was born with one kidney.

I had to learn it for an anthropology class in college, it’s really not that hard-the numbers extend outward horizontally on a family tree, and the removed stuff is vertical. So like, your first cousins are the people you share grandparents with, second cousins you share great-grandparents with, etc. Your parent’s…

I feel like I read this more Flowers in the Attic-y than it is.

Don’t want to do anything to jeopardize the inevitable appeal?

He hasn’t shown any emotion at all throughout his trial, except for the occasional smirk with his lawyers. His own worst enemy.

I lived in Terre (Terrible) Haute for 5 years and just let me say, preach.

Sending him to Indiana is punishment enough.

I love how her sad excuse for an apology completely misses the point. You called out all the black people as rude and awful for leaving by mistake, despite the fact that white people are leaving too and many black people were still seated. This is the racist part, lady.

I agree with this. “Y’know that black fella, Mike?”

In my limited experience, this is typical of white people in the Deep South. Whiteness-by-default is so ingrained in their culture that black people are called “black people” and white people are just “people.” When talking about one African American or a group of African Americans, white southerners will often…

You said “must’ve”! Not “must of” but “must’ve”!

Yeesh! It’s none of the mother’s business first of all, second it’s an elective, third it’s extremely unlikely the students didn’t know about this at the beginning, fourth the student doesn’t have to do it if they don’t want to. “Emotionally naked”? Easy: LIE. Did no one see the Community episode where Troy didn’t…

The twist? They are actually witches and using magic. And with her going to jail, it worked! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

That’s an awesome resource! Thank you! That person is to “grandparent’s rights” what Dave Futrelle is to MRAs....

Wow, that link is fascinating...thanks! I never thought abusive parents had their own forums. And the things they say are exactly the things my stepmother says about me because I don’t want a relationship with her...quite telling.

"While it's hard to say for sure due to the anonymity of Instagram, according to Fast Company many of the role-players seem to be teenage girls."

I'm actually not bothered by this. I don't get why people would put pictures of their kids on social media and not expect weird shit to happen. HELLO people Instagram and all that garbage is PUBLIC. It's not like they got hacked and stolen. They offered the pictures to the world their own selves.
