So I'm an ex-vegan. And when I was vegan, I found myself to be of the easygoing variety. And while I certainly didn't *claim* moral superiority, I did believe the choice I was making was morally superior. And I still think it was, even though I am no longer making that choice. I still believe these animals have done

Humans ARE animals. Animals have feelings and emotions, why do they deserve to get tortured and killed? Because they don't speak English? Because they don't do math?

So true. I choose to be vegan but try my best not to make it into a big deal that needs to be brought up every time I have a meal (but good luck not sticking out like a freak in our meat-saturated culture). I don't tell other people what they should do, and only explain my ethical choices if I'm asked directly about

People get angry when others are different.

a coworker brought in durian to my office and someone reported a gas leak. one person went home out of fear.

It's like that time C.A Pinkham was just trying to enjoy at BLT at a lunch counter in Greensboro and all these annoying civil rights activists made a big fuss and then some white supremacists made a big fuss. If those darn civil rights nuts and that awful KKK just all shut up (that's fair to both sides!), then we

I am a vegetarian. I don't bother mentioning it to most people, and I don't get preachy or soap-boxy about it. It's just a personal choice. I do know really preachy vegans though, and they get on my nerves. I also know stalwart meat-eaters, and they get on my nerves.

The meateaters start with hate mail.

Yeah, because that relationship with Tom Cruise doesn't appear to have been any sort of fucked up, controlling, nightmarish situation for Katie Holmes, like, AT ALL, guys.

tbh the comments on this article are better than the book was i love you guys

I have the feeling this film is going to turn into a camp classic ala "Showgirls" or "Mommie Dearest" with midnight audience participation screenings.

I googled "white male pain" hoping to find an amusing gif, but I just got hundreds of pictures of identical white men with back problems.

the "bus stop of desire" second in sexiness only to "the DMV waiting room of wanton"

The shit he wrote sounds no different than the same casual misogyny one hears every day. That's why I will never trust a man if I hear him say anything sexist. Men can whine about how unfair it is all they want, I make no apologies for being unforgiving if any man shows a red flag.

This is a fascinating pile you've left here. You're right that he says "Moot" not "Wu" in the "Islamic terrorists" section of the video and I'll fix that and add a correction right now. (I misunderstood him and had to play it a few times to hear it.)

Ugh. Tyler Perry seems so sketch that I wouldn't be surprised if he was just doing research for Madea goes to the Hospital, due out Summer 2016.

"it's because I loved the movie and I don't want to see it remade with a bunch of women portraying characters I loved"

I live in Chicago as well. You seriously think the teachers weren't right to strike? That they were supposed to accept layoffs, decreases in arts/music/gym programs, larger class sizes and the ridiculous public school closure?

As in, much overblown compared to the private sector that is running a scam based on bad, cherry-picked data. I'll take the occasional corrupt school administrator over a system designed to divert public school money to private companies for absolutely no benefit to anyone and that results in fewer proper educational
