“You can’t do good and be poor at the same time,” Millender testified. “You can’t help the poor and be poor, it makes no sense.”

I’m fascinated by the line “She said she didn’t want to have sex, and then we started to have sex.” He doesn’t say “She told me she changed her mind and really wanted to sleep with me,” or that she went to tyr bathroom for condoms , just that they started having sex, and considering she started crying it certainly…

How long before Spurlock tries to monetize his confession in the form of a documentary series on a-newly-woke-man’s-guide-to-avoiding-sexual-harassment-and-assault he will shop around town?

Christians who blame Satan for anything are the worst. The devil did NOT make you do it. He didn’t possess your body and pilot you like a meat mecha and make you do bad things. YOU did the bad things. YOU rationalized what you were doing. YOU ARE A BAD PERSON! Satan A. Doesn’t exist and B. If he did exist he’d be…

“The only thing I’d say is to honor his wishes and blame only Satan.”

“North Korea may be developing biological weapons. Don’t... worry... though... as I’ve said, everything’s fine!”

As someone who was brutally and ruthlessly bullied from 3rd-8th grade - I was told it was my fault for not giving the other kids a chance. How could I give them a chance when I was under attack for things that were out of my control?

OT, but it’s a crime that Night Court isn’t on a streaming service.

In 2005, my parents were forced to confront my coming out and immediately arranged a marraige to a woman in Somalia. My stepmother, who spent every single day of my childhood and youth beating me, told me I could keep chasing boys as long as I gave her some kids to tend to. The imposition of silence is a way to make…

I converted to Catholicism a couple years ago and confessional privilege was a massive sticking point for me. I challenged my priest on it with “what if you know through confession that a parishioner is actively harming someone?” He told me there are ways that priests can put an end to harmful behaviors without…

Do you want my secret recipe for eggnog? Here it is:

A book listing the places in the U.S.A. where black people are not systematically mistreated in a grossly unconstitutional manner would be a lot easier to write and a lot more compact too.

Or, maybe, the way she gets through every day is by telling herself that those past assaults happened because she did X,Y,Z and as long as she never makes those mistakes again she’ll be OK.

There is a difference between advising women not to let their guard down and saying that women who ostensibly have let their guard down are making excuses for fucking up when they get raped while their guard is down. Will I advise my daughter to be careful and not drink too much at parties lest she end up incapable of…

Dear Fake Patriots:

The people already know these spots.. we just don’t publicize them publicly as we know they become targets.
