Maybe not to spite the mourners but it was a stupid response. They should have stationed themselves a street or so back. It wouldn't have hampered them much to not be directly involved with the vigil after their department was the reason for the gathering in the first place. They represented their earlier violence by…

THANK YOU.

Showing up to a peaceful vigil in SWAT gear is a damn good way to provoke violent conflict, don't you think? If I'm at a peaceful event and a bunch of guys show up dressed for combat, my first guess about their presence is not going to be that they've come along to hold hands and sing songs.

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

I don't care if that's what they meant, I think you should do it anyway.

On behalf of all Israelis... Our government is full of assholes.

I rarely get the chance to use this more than once a week, but this is the second time and I couldn't be happier:

My god, I was half joking, but he literally just said the exact same thing and still doens't realize what's wrong with it.

Every time I read your name I imagine thats's how John Travolta would pronounce Dylan McDermott's name.

If this was where the game franchise was headed, I'd absolutely get back into Pokemon.

Well I guess I'm cool with the court of public opinion condemning professional athletes who knock out their significant others who are a fraction of their size. Unless she was armed, there is no excuse.

Has it still not hit you that feminism isn't about you?

IDGAF in this context is about responding to those who assume what they think about you is more important to you than what you think about you, and assume you agree. IDGAF isn't pre-emptive, used like this. If no one ever uses what they think of you as an attack, no one will get the IDGAF what you think as a rebuttal.

And my point is that you can decide you don't give a fuck without being rude about it. Very politely thank the person who is directing their opinion at you but go your own way. Not everyone is entitled to your opinion, altho they may think you are entitled to theirs.

Ugh, I've gotten "You know, you'd be really hot if you lost some weight" too many times. My favorite answer is "Well thank god I'm not, otherwise someone like you might hit on me". Don't think I'm hot like this? Cool. I do.

i know I KNOW........grounded for 2 weeks .

Butters, what have we said about not caring about other people's boners?!

This has been my attitude for a long while and I really feel a lot better about it. It's also how I approach shit like homophonia or racism, too. You'd be amazed how much a simple, "Wow, that's really racist," will stop someone dead in their tracks. Why? Because most people just awkwardly laugh and try to move the…
