If a friend of mine said, “I met a great guy but he’s really sensitive about his appearance, so I’ve never actually seen him in person but we did have sex while I was wearing a blindfold” - I absolutely would be very concerned and would urge her to get out of this situation and seek counseling. This in no way means…

I have never been more Team No One than I am now.

Is it possible that two completely crazy people found each other and but for one mistake (taking off the blindfold) they could have been happy for the rest of their lives?

The vagina dentata jokes just write themselves here.

Migrant is actually the correct choice here IMO, although a solid number of these folks are refugees as well. This is because, in a large part, many of these people are migrants; they are wealthier/better off and left by choice now that they are able to relocate to EU countries due to the refugee crisis but they were…

The southeastern states in Europe have a pretty contentious history with the Muslim states of the Middle East, predominantly the Turks, and I don’t expect the general populace to differentiate. Tensions have run deep there with Muslims as the anti-Muslim sentiments are a nurtured until it's almost ingrained into the…

The lack of compassion, empathy, and real facts was so depressing.

Well, people, okay, Americans, forgot the history of invading Muslim Empires like the Ottoman Empire that ransacked that section of Europe for hundreds of years. Terrorizing, butchering and enslaving natives. Grudges over those invasions are still around and still strong.

Must agree, though there are some organizations that are trying to help. Some universities are offering free education, even teaching in English. Other (in Brno, Olomouc) are offering some other forms of help, but there is no interest. I do believe that it is partially because the not-so-welcoming attitude, though big…

They were safe well before they reached Hungary.

Okay, so then if then men turn around and say, “Well of course we should keep earning 1 dollar for your 77 cents because we have to pay for more things” that’d be okay with you?

So you’re solution to sex-based inequality is to perpetuate it?

So many girls (maybe people, but I only know girls) will fucking ignore you if you don’t follow these stupid rules though.

Well ... there are some other things at play, and as a parent of a kid from a donor, they concern me. As a person who did visit and use a sperm bank, I spent a lot of time picking a donor, looking for illnesses in the family histories, listening to the donor on tape, looking at donor baby photos. I ended up having to…

Not to nitpick, but what would a non-strange beastiality text look like.

I think it’s a bit unfair to characterise this textbook series as an “it wasn’t all bad for slaves thing” without critically analyzing the previous editions. If you look through those editions you’ll find that far too much time is spent on slavery, to the lamentable omission of other important periods of history (some…

I appreciate the time you spent on this article.

i don’t think the textbook seems that bad, TBH. the part about most white ppl swallowing their resentment is a joke. that some slaves self-reported that their masters treated them well (presumably, to other white ppl) is not of any value. but that there was a range of treatment among slaveowners is true. i dont get…

Really? Are we at the point in our country where we can’t even acknowledge that chattel slavery was bad without it becoming a partisan issue? “Dummie-crats say slavery is bad, therefore they have to be wrong!”
