I boggle at the fact that there are students who would refuse to read the incredible works of graphic novel artistry and writing that are Sandman and Maus.

We must both be enlightened because I agree that both sides have valid points. You can both be sensitive of the very real needs of people suffering from PTSD and the institutional issues that “safe spaces” are supposed to assuage, but that’s a very different thing from running away from subject matter or discussions…

That’s a great concept! Oftentimes i find it devolves into a bizarre power struggle. I think most people don’t want to hurt others but pushing them to relive the darkest parts of their history. But the temptation to censor is one that most people cannot be trusted to resist.

Imagine the same policy told to the delicate flowers of Oberlin...

oh, millenials are going to "fix" things. can't wait for that.

as a side note, yes, i do believe that there is some hypersensitivity over certain things, but that’s beside the point.

I’m bothered too. It seems weird that he was expected to do something, and that the girl’s father is talking to People. If I hear that an ex of mine died, I’m sad, but I don’t assume their family is perishing to hear from me. It’s not about me.

Like most, when I heard the “I’m going to donate it to charity” thing I thought she would do 50k or something like that. This makes the most sense though. 7 million is pocket change to someone with a net worth of 12 billion. Makes Depp look like a pauper in comparison.

Well, if you mean oddly clammy and sweaty to the touch, then yes. Definitely.

Allegedly, she is a fan of George Orwell and Ayn Rand … most unusual.

I think he’s the reason she donated her $7M settlement to charity, he probably promised to double her take if she did so.

Does everyone automatically judge people who enjoy Ayn Rand, or is it just me? I know she was great at prose... but isn’t that like saying you appreciate Hitler for his oratory skills?

Yes! It’s how one very special person recognizes another.

Why would anyone be ashamed of watching The Devil Wears Prada? It’s Adrian Grenier’s finest work!

My parents were good parents, no divorce, and I was a super low-hassle and reasonably well-behaved kid who got a long with them and STILL, when I was 13 I thought they were both idiots and I wished I didn’t have to deal with them. Anyone who thinks any 13 year old can objectively appraise either of their parents is an…

Based on some Today Show or Good Morning America interview with Kate & the Twins last year, I would guess that they are not voluntarily posing for the magazine cover. The televised interview with those kids looked like it was filmed at gunpoint. They are old enough to understand that their mother can make way more…

Maybe I misread what he said versus what the girls said. It didn’t look like he was making a big deal about it. That they just started coming less and less and then stopped coming over to visit at all. Am I missing the part where he says they were being purposefully kept away? Or did they just insert a little teenage…

Interesting, as the story I’ve got from people who have met/dealt with Kate is that she’s a pretty terrible, awful person.
