No. Empathy. Compassion. Diversity. Decency. Take your pick.

Kids are developmentally selfish, so as adults, we have to work with that. It’s up to US to teach/coach them out of being little ME shitheads. Parties/social events are a small but crucial step in that development.

I think the word you’re looking for is “empathy”.

How bout out of kindness? If your kid feels guilty because she doesn’t want to go because the girl looks/acts weird then, yes go because of the guilt. People don’t only get to do the things that makes them feel good

I was going to say compassion and equality, but sure, be a cunt.

When I was 8 I insisted on inviting the boy from my class (who had behavioural problems, due to a poor family life) to my birthday party. Other parents took my mum aside to ask her ‘if she was sure’. My mum was worried and checked with my, and apparently I replied that I knew he didn’t get invited to parties a lot,…

What? Jesus. I didn't know about that one. Now that is not just awful, it's evil.

I agree with you that it's awful, but I think there are a lot of other contenders for "most inexplicable and obviously awful corporate idea." Like when Walmart had a food drive to feed their own employees, for example.

This is quite honestly the most inexplicable and obviously awful corporate idea I have ever heard of. They would have been better off reminding people they offer health insurance to their employees, unlike most independent coffee shops or fast food joints. For that, I have never hated Starbucks, but this "race…

And that's pretty fucked up.

Emperor Norton is one of the greatest people to have lived in these United States. Mostly because the people of San Francisco embraced him. He had his own currency.

To deal with the trauma please schedule an appointment with Dr. Phil.

Next Greenpeace stunt: Lighting fires in the shape of their logo on top of endangered coral reefs.

Yesterday, Greenpeace apologized for the stunt, saying it was sorry if the protest at the historical site on Monday caused an "moral offense" to the Peruvian people.

At this point they need to at least blank out what was written. The only thing worse than a semi-permenant missing rectangle at the site would be this constant bit of propoganda.

Cue anecdotal evidence stories from passengers like "No way! Airline X is definitely the best/worst because when I flew them to visit grandma for Thanksgiving, I had the best/worst experience" ;)

I would say "let the witness be torn to shreds."

This is the first time I've ever heard of a prosecutor allowing a defendant to testify, let alone enumerate the defense's case. Ever. In a grand jury trial.
