No one is saying its the most horrible thing ever, not even close. But people are right to call out the fact that A) its disrespectful and in poor taste for ANYone to do this and B) Its ESPECIALLY short-sighted of someone who is in the military and should understand the entire meaning behind the POW/MIA symbology to…

Whatever happened to that whole, "I can find more than one thing reprehensible at the same time" thing?
I'm so sorry for your family's loss... I'm a veteran and she should have known better. Pretty tasteless... : ( SMH.
That would be me after like my first twenty seconds of driving a school bus.
My advice to Girl Scouts (in California, at least):
I call homophobes long distance all the time. Though usually they are blood relatives.
You do realize blue collar =/= poverty, right? Mr. Queef is as blue collar as it gets (insulation & renovation) and makes a hell of a lot more than my fluffy-humanities-PhD-having ass. But yeah, he does look pretty hot coming home all rugged and dirty from work, and he thinks it's hot to have a brainiac wife who can…
You're talking about your husband, not an abstraction. It's the difference between thinking your Asian wife is hot and "yellow fever".
You're kidding, right? I'm a marathoner, and I can't run two miles at an 8:30 pace. When I started running a few years ago, it took me months to get up to the point where I could run 6 miles at once, let alone running that distance 5 days/week. This "program" is not only completely unachievable for most people, but it…
I think these articles put emphasis on pleasure. I don't love exercising but I get enjoyment from it. There's two types of enjoyment- 1. Doing something intrinsically enjoyable (patting your dog), and 2. Getting something tricky done. An example of the second is submitting your tax paperwork. I hate doing that every…
Noam – As someone who has successfully transformed many many obese/sedentary individuals, I can tell you that your recommendations and advice are both horrible.
Yeah, I will file all your responses under "completely missed the entire point of the article."
I honestly can't tell who's mad at me because they don't get that I'm being sarcastic, and who's mad because of the sarcasm!
The tone of this article is slightly mocking, but this is probably more relevant to my life than anything ever published on Gawker media, ever. Buying jeans can suck my balls. I finally got over my aversion to spending more than $30 and started buying the Not Your Daughter's Jeans and I love them more than life. …
I didn't realize there was an oppression Olympics or that discrimination was a zero-sum game. Does someone expressing how THEY sometimes feel in any way invalidate on contradict how YOU feel?
and the exercise doesn't even have to be "intense".
I used to think blatant racism and threatening behavior would go away when sites started forcing people to use their real Twitter/Facebook accounts as part of the commenting procedure. Boy was that naive of me.
This'll deal a devastating blow to Russia's reputiation as a bastion of diversity, tolerance, and civility.
Yes, I was also shocked to learn that mammals have hair. Shocked.
