I agree with what you’ve said. By “inner beauty” I mean these ladies united and somewhat took a risk in speaking out on women’s issues in Peru instead of replying with their measurements (which I think is gross). It changes up the one dimensional aspect of “beauty” pageants and shows them as more than their looks, it

Last time I checked, machismo was a problem fucking everywhere, whether displayed openly or more slyly.

This...is pretty fucking cool. Raising awareness in any venue at any time IMO is welcome.

Yes, but “innocent until proven guilty” isn’t reasonable in these circumstances. Let me be clear: law enforcement and courts should always have that policy. However, when it comes to one’s personal list of things they will and won’t accept, that person also gets to decide where the lines are.

My mother would hate the things my brother would do but she was always, ALWAYS, ready to enable him and would cry over how much she loved him and he was “her son” so she couldn’t abandon him. She was one of those people who thinks that just because someone is related to you, you have to ride or die for them, no matter

I can’t get my mind around that kind of motherhood. When I taught four year olds we had a student who was displaying a lot of troubling signs of sexual abuse. Turns out her uncle was molesting her (I never learned the extent and didn’t want to).

People have a right to bail, but they don’t have a right to money in someone else’s wallet. I’m not bailing anyone out for a violent crime like that unless I personally believe that person is absolutely 100% innocent.

If he can cultivate widespread distrust in the FBI and CIA among his nutjob supporters and spineless constituents, then the results of their investigations on his illegal activities will be invalid.

Yeah, I get that—in theory. But did anyone really take Sean for a “real” journalist? I mean, this reeked of a stunt from the moment it hit the news. So, perhaps, Kate is adding more evidence to the piles of evidence that we already have the Sean Penn sucks, but...still. Is anyone surprised by this? Also, Kate had

Thank you for doing this. While college is viewed by most as a vehicle to getting a good paying job, I also think college is a place where you should learn to think for yourself.

And still his base will support him because just like them, he wouldn’t know tact if it slapped him in his fucking face.

Race is...not completely unrelated to this, right? He’s a tremendously selfish person in general, but every time I hear someone claim he just likes to dog whistle the racists, he has a moment like this and it’s really clear he hates black people in a very personal way.

It’s quite simple. Their reasoning is they’ve been told they would have to pay (taxes) for other people to use health care. They don’t want to give money to help someone else. They don’t care that it effects themselves because they won’t have health care, they think they’ll never have to use it since they’ve been

I think it doesn’t matter - the facts and evidence are available, people just far prefer to live in their fantasy world where they protect themselves/their families with guns. Additionally, the 2nd Amendment means that, no matter how much evidence you present and even if people accept owning guns doesn’t make them

Every time I hear the statement “to protect my family” in regards to gun ownership, I just ask from what exactly? Because most of those people will respond with “from home invaders” not realizing that a majority of home invasions happen while you aren’t home because most burglars prefer to burglarize unimpeded and

This is the most interesting section of the comment stream. All great points. “Home invasions” are cousin to “stranger danger”, the myth that the great danger to your children is a stranger, rather than, say, your cousin or your boy/girlfriend.

Now playing

This guy makes a GREAT point about guns as home defense...
Yes...he’s a comedian...but he makes some amazing points.

So I dvr’d this mess because Bobby makes it sound like it’s campy fun and it’s an unwatchable mess. You alternatively feel bad for her because she’s obviously struggling and bathe in the schadenfreude. She was talking about the Harvey Weinstein mess but I don’t remember her even mentioning what happened to her at Fox

Man, I always really want to like this show and I suffered through _a lot_ of seasons (I think I stopped at the season where Frozen showed up), but it’s just so bad. It has such a crazy timeline of randomly placed flashbacks to suit whatever purpose the writers need that week.
