Iunno. I think getting the shit beat out of you on a regularly basis is a pretty big “problem.”

I thought it was more about “all kinds of people are secretly unhappy/domestic violence happens in all kinds of households, even rich white ones” and also “women gotta be there for each other, stop holding each other to impossible standards and stop tearing each other down” 

Rich white lady privilege means you can go rent another apartment. But it doesn’t mean you will safely escape.

Having healthcare is important to the overall health and well-being of individuals. Conflating that important issue with sheltering individuals from institutions (slavery, holocaust) that actively engaged in systematic, sanctioned genocide may be eye-grabbing but is ultimately just minimizing their contribution and

And yes, committing green card and insurance fraud are serious crimes. So were hiding Jews in your attic or slaves in your basement.

Counterpoint - divorce is super expensive and complicated, plus your spouse has rights to all sorts of stuff beyond just your citizenship. If you wouldn’t want someone making difficult medical decisions for you, don’t marry them.

Yeah, but she had a hyperlink to Vice, whereas you just quoted the law...NERD!!

Marrying a documented immigrant for bona fide reasons (that is, you’re in love and you want to get married) is a good idea to help them. Doing it for fraudulent purposes (to get them a green card) is a really stupid idea that can lead to felony convictions for you and deportation for them.

Yet even though green card marriages are harder to pull off, people do it all the time and get away with it. Doing this for one of America’s 11 million undocumented immigrants would be a bigger act of love than a garish wedding could ever be. The extra effort would be worth it to the immigrant whose sudden

Leaving out facts is kind of what i09 is all about these days. If people are not buying these titles, they are not selling well, it’s a fact not some marvel is racist agenda. I stopped buying Thor because they don’t have Thor in it. I liked some of the female led books, just Thor is Thor end of story. I09 would just

Ok, I have read the article you linked to here - you missed a big caveat here. He was only speaking about changes that started in October. He says diversity worked for the last three years, until October. Don’t you think that you should mention that? It seems like an important piece of context.

How about the asinine move to destroy the X-Men simply because they don’t have the movie rights?

I think the idea that somebody voted for Trump makes them themselves racist needs to stop. This is by and far more about Urban vs. Rural. Who are you going to vote for when your entire town is on the line due to the local mine closure? What about logging? Power plant? Factory? We are talking about multi generational

Does considering Trump a legitimate president count as a racial bias? What a weird world we live in. I’d count him as legitimate even if I voted against him and continue to work against his policies.

Great generalization of white millennials... You are seriously getting paid to spew this crap? Oh, that’s right, us whities are just keeping the black folk down like usual. Your “woe is me” attitude is pathetic, regardless of your race.

You kidding? This persona is the West Wing to a freaking tee!

My husband’s grandpa worked for American airlines and they flew standby as kids all the time. They dressed up. It was required because you may end up traveling in first class. These folks were flying for almost free. People feel so entitled. I dress comfy to fly because the airline industry makes flying extremely

Yeah, so employees and their families should dress as befits the standards of the company for whom they are employed, which is also paying for them to fly? QUEL SUPRISE!!!!

When my sister worked for United, we all had and followed the dress code for people getting basically free flights. And often, she and her kids would end up in first class. I really don’t see anything wrong with this policy. The passengers using the pass should have been aware of it too and dressed appropriately.

Maybe a final shot of them sitting in a small cafe. And C-3PO would happen to see them and just nod knowingly.
