NYEAH, SEE? WE'LL CLOBBER YA, SEE? CUZ WHITE PEOPLE? WE TINK THEMS IS BUMS!!! [Charlestons all the way to Africa.]

" I think the vast majority of people really don't care where their food comes from as long as its cheap, plentiful, and tastes, while not necessarily good, at least not too horrible to stomach."

Usually, I'm just checking to see if my human face is still in place. Wouldn't want my naturally scaly green skin to show up at an awkward time...

  • MISANDRY

Oh, so learning to "glean the complexities of real life and love" = being a serious asshat to your lifelong companion and then, when found out and called out on said asshattery, turning that shit 180 to deflect, deflect, deflect instead of admitting fault beyond a glib explanation? Well, fuck, and here I thought I had

I'm is a grownup of 58 yrx old, Thursty, and lots of us JezBz are "mature" women (some are mature and only 18). Don't be patronizing, sonny boy.

Thurston Moore: The elder statesman of the "guitar guy at the party" crowd. Still substituting condescension and words he learned in high school philosophy class for actual argument. If only we could understand the complexity and depth of his love.

Yup, pretty sure you'd have to drink the milk first. And that's not the right way to do milk and cookies. The milk has to be a refresher/palate cleanser, so it's wasted if downed first.

I don't personally need women to be main characters. I understand there isn't a ton of room for characterization beyond Marty and Rust. My problem is that just about every single woman on the show is a sexual plot device. What I mean is, if you've got 10 male actors, 10 of them will be playing cops or bad guys or

I don't understand this—we should criticize bad shows, but not good ones? How does that make sense?

Even if the misogyny in True Detective turns out to be unintentional (which I didn't believe, although recent interviews with Nic Pizzoletto have made me question that), I still really love the conversations about misogyny that are being brought up. None of these concerns are new to this show, far more female nudity

I too would like to know how many get the opportunity to sit down and pitch their show to HBO.

I'm still waiting for Season 2 of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. That show just made me smile and the romance was so realistic and gently laid out. Step on it HBO! You'll get a great show back with diversity AND women! These are also likely the reasons it wasn't renewed :(

I am consistently baffled by all the folks jumping in saying things like "they're just making different choices than you would, we should respect that!" whenever they're criticized here. No. They aren't just making different choices. They didn't just choose to follow god. They didn't just choose to have a lot of kids.

The average is only thirty seven minutes a day?!

It is necessary to attach the Duggar’s to this issue and homeschooling because they are all intertwined.

This is awesome. I love you science!

The Duggars are VERY involved in Gothard's cult. They follow his life teachings (remember Michelle's list of tips to keep your husband happy that included the crazy hair rules? That's a Gothard publication) and use his homeschooling materials. The homeschooling conference they go to every year is ATI, which is part of

  • Now, if you want to call that "sensationalism," please go right ahead do so. I call it reminding people (just like you, probably) that these "celebrities", just like some of the members of the Duck Dynasty "family," are promoting some pretty fucked up nonsense that really needs to be scrutinized a lot more.

Here's an excerpt from an article on Dailykos written about his teachings and practices:
