The pessimist inside of me thinks that it's also cause a lot of customers of this 'fine' establishment are just as narrow-minded, and would have bitched up a storm on a trans women trying on lingerie or panties in the same store.

I read he said it's a metaphor for Saatchi's "strangling" of the art market. No doubt it's a poor representation of his metaphor.

The Saatchi Art network is gigantic, curated by a large team of independent art dealers and a whole lot of amateur artists, it's highly unlikely Saatchi is aware of singular pieces in his website so him taking personal satisfaction is a bit of a stretch.

To make chopping fun for me I bought one of those japanese cooking knives, the serious shit with the damask steel. Feel like a ninja every time I cook.

I call bull, the idea of Ann Coulter purposefully withholding offensive speech is like saying the world is flat.

She probably did consent, by signing the release forms, but she probably misunderstood. It was made pretty clear to me when I had ovarian cysts that the possibility of having to remove the entire ovary was there, and it did not pinpoint just "cancer" but to remove the ovary in case the cyst could not be removed…

I'm trying to think why the wording is "prescribed," this would insinuate that what the doctor intended was not one of the over the counter, grocery store formulas, it was something that needed a doctor's prescription. And it was described as medicinal rather than just supplemental formula.

We're not letting them off the hook per se, but they're getting away with it precisely because of their wealth, money = power in the US, this has been proven time and time again.

I don't have as much faith in people I'm afraid, I definitely DO agree with your points, and how that is a large contributing factor, but I still believe many people who fall extremely comfortably in the middle class, who could in theory afford to be ethical, still would not be willing to sacrifice the comfort.

Yes, one of the news articles had a picture of the note in its entirety, in chinese.

Buy American and adjust fashion to prices of non-disposable fashion. Spend more on less, that lasts longer. But our economy with it's H&M and it's Forever21, will likely not have a massive overhaul.

I put 'cursive' in quotation marks because it's not proper cursive, it's not like they are taught a certain way but there are styles of writing that would be a colloquial to our cursive system. Basically, when you write chinese for a long time, you start taking short cut with strokes because of familiarity, and this…

The handwriting itself is a bit childish, they don't utilize 'cursive' like most adults do and there are some stroke irregularities in there that are a little suspect.

I don't think the issue is that no one cares. I think the issue is not enough people care, and definitely not enough people will be willing to let go of access to cheap goods or sacrifice comfortability in lieu of ethics. And that's just normal people, the giant corporations have the most to lose, but also the most…

I think you're projecting your experiences onto his statement, which doesn't make your experiences invalid but would skew your objectivity. His statement is clearly that he can not say that the real motive behind her murder was because of her transgendered status, and goes on to say that a hate crime is defined by a…

I just don't understand people. Intending to effectively ruin someone's life for a few game systems and an iPod? What the actual fuck. I really wish karma was real, we need karma.

This is an oversimplification, realities are not going to disappear in the face of ethics, many small businesses simply can't afford to pay for an absentee employee when they need another employee to fill in for the absentee employee. A lot of wealthier companies have policies in place to allow for this , but for…

Ok I can understand that, though I don't think saying she's "not black" was a clear way of illustrating your point.

I think you're being incredibly exclusionary. Are there any real benefits in labeling this girl as "not black." Why are you so insistent on this? I don't understand a bit. Is her blackness tainted by her whiteness or something? What is this I'm so confused.

Her father is black. So she can identify however she feels.
