Every single thing in this article is true, and it doesn’t even begin to cover the shit-fest that the current ilegitim government is.

I read it with the same intonation that you did - I thought the author was saying that 50% cover inclusion wasn’t enough. I read the “whopping” bit as sarcastic, which changes the interpretation of the entire sentence. Maybe we’re both just expecting the anger&sarcasm combo from Jez as a given.

Brazilian woman here. I think the article did a pretty good job in differentiating the most “retrograde” groups from the rest of the population. The fact that they hold more political power at the moment does not mean that they represent our culture (especially considering how unpopular those politicians are). And…

Some helpful hints before you post that #notallmen comment!

Penelope Cruz is Spanish. I wouldn’t call her a WoC, like you wouldn’t call an Italian woman a WoC.

I know you’re trying to be internet tough because you’re probably a little bitch otherwise but go back a reread my comment. I never called the PC liberal movement hitler-esque of fascism. I said that style of culture would simply allow someone like that to still “express themselves however they so choose.”

But it illustrates the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” concept. Leashes are a great example of just how vicious parenting debates can get. For every person who would argue that the woman should have done a better job watching her kid (and that’s an interesting tidbit too; was the father or a male partner not…

So do you often take the word of a four-year-old as gospel? Because mine told me yesterday she’s going to the moon and there’s nothing I can do about it, something she reiterated on the car today when I picked her up from kindergarten. I’m not really tempted to check the backyard for a crudely built rocket, though.

I would imagine the mother didn’t treat his saying that he was going to go into the water that seriously because she didn’t think it was something that could literally be done. At least not so easily and quickly by a freaking 4 year old. I know if I were at a zoo I’d assume that the zoo had the good sense to make sure…

Ok, fuck you.

In the 10 years between when my mother and I left and my crazy psycho dad OD’d, we would get a postcard in the mail about once a year (a postcard to be sure that both me and the mailman would be able to read it) from my dad talking about how he wished we could be a family again and he missed me, but my…

Ok. In your opinion. My world is less black and white. Not every outrage reaction needs to be equal. You know what I wish more people cared about? The destruction of rainforests for palm oil. Babies can’t breathe because the air quality is so bad from the smoke. It still doesn’t take away that a scared little boy got…

If your 3yo tells you he is going to fly, do you really expect him to put on a cape and go jump off the roof? The woman had 3 other kids with her and admits she made a mistake. But as someone who has worked in a children’s museum (and I mentioned this in another post), I have personally witnessed hundreds of lost kids…

So what? Even if that’s true, so what? Is failing to hold your son’s hand every second of every day punishable by his death via gorilla? Is that the standard by which we’re judging all parenting now? Uniformly? Or just Some People (wink wink nudge nudge)?

Please, please, please do not respond to Hoyo. He’s a known troll and responding is only going to suck you down the rabbit hole.

All Rainn Wilson said is that he’s pissed that shooting-killings of animals draw more press and sympathy than shooting-killings of people. So instead of writing faux-outrage ad hominems, understand that this zoo shooting death and human shooting deaths are both substantively but not equally tragic.

Not knowing anything about their respective platforms, is it petty of me to hope they both lose? Getting an annulment after 24 years of marriage to avoid spousal or child support is slime-ball enough for me.

Taxpayer money does not fund abortions. Google ‘Hyde amendment.’ Basic stuff.

are you fucking serious

Logic isn't your strong suit, is it?
