My dad was falsely accused of making child pornography by his ex. When the police officers arrived to ‘sieze evidence,’ they beat him (a 50 year old man) down and held him at gunpoint as they siezed all of our computers, vehicles, and storage containers. All of our family hierlooms and treasures were stolen from us -…

Nothing happened to me since they didn’t find kiddie porn or drugs. It was such a pain in the ass though. The two women who searched my computer for the porn were actually really nice when I explained what happened (I suspect I’m not the first person who got a false report via a stalker). The cops that looked for the…

How can you be a black person in this country and remain sane? I hear stories like this (I’m white) and cry, shake with anger, and get nauseated with fury. How do you live like that? How you not snap? How do you not take it out on everyone in your life that doesn’t have to put up with shit like this?

I spent years, as a child, watching my aunt suffer extreme abuse at the hands of her cop husband. When she tried to report it, the beatings got worse. Because of course the officers ratter her out to him and did absolutely nothing to help her. I know there are supposedly good cops out there. But how good can even THEY…

“This is not cool guys, this is not cool.

When I was a child, I was raised by a relative who was a police officer. She was abusive and once I threatened to call the police, and she laughed in my face and said, “They’re already here.” She married 3 cops in the time I lived with her, and not a one of them had any trouble joining in on her fun. I will never…

“Hell, I just love the noise it makes! Let’s do it a thousand more times!”

I hate the spanx trend because it is now virtually impossible to find a regular, old fashioned, loose slip. They are all shapewear slips now. The don’t work for me and always ooch up turning into a weird undergarmet belt. I just want a regular “old lady” slip with a thin dress. It hides panty lines and works like a…

My kid (oldest girl child) was eating bugs for $$ during 3rd grade. Never say “my kid wouldn’t”.

I babysit for a few girls who are 9-12. I don’t want to over step boundaries and tell them what to do, but they see me get holla’d at or checked out every time we’re out. Tell them they aren’t doing anything wrong (my mom told me it was all my fault) tell them men can be pigs and that they can ignore this attention.…

To me there is a HUGE difference between attention from boys of the same age and from adult men. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t get attention from boys. Sometimes it was awkward (being pelted by rocks) sometimes it was sweet (like the boy who kissed my hand in the kickball line in 1st grade and proposed. He…

So I’ve moved away since this has happened, but I’m from the same town as this family & graduated high school the same year as her sister. We all know how cruel kids can be, and I clearly remember the horrible rumors going around about Jessica’s death. I can confirm that dying as a result of sex was definitely one of…

True Fact: Investigation into Cook County Sheriff’s Office browser history reveals 4Chan.org as being their most visited site.

Let’s ignore for a minute the fact that Kylie Jenner did not, in fact, invent the concept of full lips and that full lips have been a beautiful and highly desirable trait for women of color since as long as we’ve inhabited the planet.

Yeah, the separation of headscarves and state is right there in the Constitution. Do you guys think the school board spokeswoman is equally adamant about the separation of church and state when it comes to kids singing Christmas carols in school?

A dude with 44 Dunkin’ Donuts franchises wants a little more cash?

Walmart isn’t worth dentures. =\ Plus I’m sure any they sell are either in the form of Halloween vampire teeth or coated with lead paint, so... keep your teeth intact.

That was wonderful. This point cannot be made often enough: two extra hundred dollars added to the cost of the procedure, two extra days to think about it, 300 extra miles to travel — these are obstacles that make a legal option impossible for some women. It’s disgraceful.

You know, honestly, I think the whole thing is just out of proportion. I don't condone what he did, but I think ignoring the possibility of there being more context to this is kind of odd.

And when did Bale get a pass on being such an "artiste"? I mean I love the guy but this is the lead in Newsies we're talking about here...
