I think it's lazy, half-assed parenting. You give into every whim and indulgence? Then you never have to teach them anything except that throwing a fit gets them what they want. Then they grow up, and rely on the rest of the world to teach their bratty, entitled adult children that they don't get everything they…

"In theory, we buy our kids all the crap they want to keep them happy..."

Hate the themes, the perpetual female victim (even when she engages in, quite frankly, pedophilia) and yet...

This honestly feels like an article from "The Onion." So ridiculous.

And now I have cried twice in about 3 minutes.

Agreed.

I've suffered from migraines for years, and every doctor I've ever seen for it has told me "try masturbating." Hearing it spoken so matter-of-fact, and being told by a medical professional that it is truly good for you has helped release some of the stigma.

"Oh my god Becky. Look at her butt. It is so big..."

Dance class AND donuts? You are winning at parenting.

Aww, that reminds me of my mom. Her famous quote was "Are you bleeding out of your ears? Are you dead? Then you're fine."

"The Case of the Ignorantly Racist Windbags."

Ahh, yes. HIGHLY edumacated folks of course. Some of them even know a few words in Brazilian.

I was just saying last night what a freaking great character he is, and how the actor clearly loves playing this douchebag character.

Yeah, I think he gets a bit of that. But they definitely think anyone who speaks Spanish and isn't from Spain must be Mexican. Cuz the geography of North and South America goes like this: Canada (America-light), AMERICA!!!!!!!!WAHOO!!!!!, Mexico, some weird stuff that's really just Mexico, and Brazil.

Yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I hate that kind of ignorance.

I'll love you forever for this.

No, I don't think it's about a pretty girl whining about how pretty she is. I understand the feeling of "you know, there's a hell of a lot more to me than just my looks." I've gotten it from both sides; people who think I'm attractive and people who think I'm not. At the end of the day, they are still trying to…

Exactly. There are so many things I care about more than whether or not someone perceives me as pretty.

Exactly. Most of my own issues with insecurity have virtually nothing to do with my physical appearance, but being told "you don't need to feel insecure; you're pretty!" means absolutely nothing to me.

Not just that, but it implies that all women's self-esteem is wrapped up in their physical appearance. That any self-confidence we have comes completely from our own feelings of physical beauty, not any other of the millions of factors that make us individual human beings.
