"its like DUH, were you so selfish and unaware before you had kids that you didn't think about your community or society?"

Some things are fairly universal as experiences for human beings. You aren't going to find many parents who will agree with you because its consistently not the case. Its a cliché, but you really can't understand it unless you have kids. I feel fairly certain to say that no the level of joy you experience with your…

Its pretty consistently defined as the highest high for the majority of people who have kids for a reason so its not necessarily condescending to refer to it as such. If you know something else that consistently provides small bouts of pure joy on a regular basis (other than heroin) I'd like to know what it is. Your…

That's right ladies

@ Ryan. The very man who created the status of collegiate athletes as amateurs in the 1950s disagrees with you wholeheartedly and refers to the current format of the NCAA he once headed as a "neo plantation". Walter Byars...look him up.

@thismoi Yes..Oh god. Yes. We Americans are absolutely full of it when it comes to the mindless rhetoric we will spew about our military. The same people who will scream for retribution against the solider pictured would ironically have ZERO problem sending her overseas to become a POW/MIA/KIA for absolutely no good…

I would argue that a tweet questioning the senselessness of an overdose hardly qualifies a person for the douchebag title.

I was under the impression that his departure had nothing to do with Glennon, and was strictly a matter of O'Brien not wanting him to play baseball. Seems like a no brainer that you'd want Russell leading your team over Sean.

He most certainly did let his family down. No one should mock the man's death, but the victims here are clearly his kids and his other loved ones before himself. Whatever pain Hoffman had that pushed him towards this is gone. The loss of their father is something his kids will live with for the rest of their lives.…

I suppose the appropriate rebuttal to "Hoffman will always be remembered as an actor where as Padalecki won't" is that its a small consolation to Hoffman's children who no longer have a father (where as Padalecki's kids do).

Also, as judging from the comments from former or current addicts on his page this needs to be said, your addiction is not just about "you".

I loved Hoffman's work, but the reality is that he did something terrible to his family and his children. All too often in our rush to lionize the deceased we inadvertently downplay the only victims which are the addict's family members. The suffering and struggle of the addict has ceased, but the void left in the…

The executive at the NCAA who created the term "student athlete" in the 1950s (specifically to avoid the what would've been the likely identification of college football players as employees of the university) revisiting the relevance of it to modern college athletics in a speech in the early 90s:

Anyone else think that its a bad idea to host the Olympics a mere 515 miles from an area where you've historically brutalized people into becoming militant fundamentalists?
