I’m not saying race plays no part in the way TMZ portrays people, but I do think in this case there are two other factors that weigh much more heavily in their motivation.

Hair or bare, adults do not look the same naked as children. If you prefer having hair, awesome! Hair removal shouldn’t be expected. But citing fear of pedophilia as a reason is pretty silly. Tons of both men and women remove (some or all of) their hair for various reasons that have nothing to do with porn,…

In a general sense, I completely agree with you. For context, I’ll admit I’m not really a Kardashian. That’s because I find their show to be boring, and I have no interest in any of the merchandise they sell. And so far, no interview or video clip involving them has really grabbed my attention. But that is true of a…

Why do some things need to be private? I mean that with all sincerity. I instinctively feel that same way myself, but any time I actually think about it I can’t articulate a good reason. I can justify to myself that information which is not yours to discuss should remain private. I can also justify to myself that we…

I think it comes from a place of arrogance and mistrust.

But hardcore umlaut didn’t say anything regarding their opinion on the treatment of animals raised for food. The post pointed out that, as you said yourself, factory farming does not equate to human slavery. The analogy is not only insulting, but given the current tensions strongly rooted in a mindset tied to slavery,…

If your word choice and sentence structure is apt for the environment and setting you’re in, why should something akin to your accent matter?

I don’t mean that obtusely. I know it does matter. But it matters because people make value judgments based on superficial traits. For instance, an incredibly intelligent…

But... but if they stopped, we would no longer have gems like this one.

If I ever get married and choose to do a more traditional ceremony, I think I will do this... with a twist. I’ll spend the whole wedding going on and on about our same day wedding video that I will make everyone watch at the reception. But then the video will just be mud wrestling or something. I’ll drop a mic and…

I think that actually applies to most things that we film. You never really say “today let’s watch that video from last year’s trip to Disney World for no reason!” But overall I feel like the bigger events are probably worth filming for enjoyment way, way down the road. Like it’s kinda neat to be able to see video of…

I get what you’re saying, but I think there are a few extra things to consider. First, she’s 29 retelling a story from her childhood. It’s quite possible she could have been 6 or 7 when she started saving. It doesn’t really change the point of the story any. Additionally, though, I don’t think it’s impossible that she…

Yes because he didn’t actually rape or kill anyone. I don’t think it frees him from any criticism. And your original post seemed to be addressing the topic at hand (ability or inability to separate an artist from their art), so I don’t actually think it was an inappropriate example in general. But having said that,…

Not sure what the point of his article is, but he was able to have his random thoughts heard by many, so that’s cool for him. Not feeling much incentive to debate an opinion, but I am going to take this as an opportunity to gush about Goodfellas.

I love that movie. I have a soft spot for Scorcese anyway. But Goodfellas…

Those fellas weren’t even that good. And the soundtrack... umm no boy bands? Like, come on! But I’d totes watch it again because Joe Pesci is SOOOOO dreamy. He could amuse me anyday. Amiright ladies?!

I’ll add a third: Anne Meara in any Ben Stiller movie. (She’s great in everything, but that’s just within the “life to screen mom” category)

And she would have deserved it!

This is why I hate when other female friends (intelligent and awesome women overall) say they will feign disinterest in order to get a guy to try harder. (I’m paraphrasing, but that’s the sentiment.) It’s not the source of the problem by any means, but it encourages the backheaded mindset (made-up phrase coined with…

Scary Cat Calling:

I totally agree with you. I would have phrased the “it won’t end us” a little differently from my personal experience, but the general sentiment I got from what you’re saying is something I believe strongly.

What I mean by the change in phrasing is that I had a decade long relationship with someone who I loved with…

I’d probably wait until it became/becomes super ubiquitous (botox parties anyone). But yeah, my extra cash would go to this. Overall, I struggle to keep my weight up, so I’m usually on the scrawny side. My body: “naaaahhh... it’s cool, bony is in, right?” My face and neck: “EFF YOU! You don’t own me! I do what I want!…
