Productive discussion? Discussion about how few beds in rehab and halfway houses are? Discussion about how if you get a bed, how expensive it is and how short a stay you usually get? Discussion Discussion about how so much of the heroin epidemic is due to legally obtained pain medication? Discussion about the trauma

Seconded heartily! The child has no agency at all, so showing his face is just depriving him of his privacy and linking him to these caregivers in a way that is shamelessly opportunistic. If he was a juvenile crime suspect, he’d have more privacy than this!

FUCK this bullshit ass crap that they are trying to call “awareness.” This shit makes me seethe with anger. Everybody knows there’s a huge opiate problem in this country. Every. Body. Fucking. Knows. We had a commercial advertising a special medication for opioid users that are constipated during the motherfucking

Oh, thank you! So the huge tear that went from my vagina to my asshole didn’t REALLY take a ton of stitches and weeks and weeks of 3x/day Sitz baths to heal! Nor was all that lochia really pouring out of my vagina for 2 months! And my uterus took zero time to shrink back down from medicine-ball size to pear size.

The fucking Times referred to Trump as “stretching the truth” when he said Clinton didn’t have a plan. That’s an interesting way of saying “knowingly and shamelessly lying”.

I never thought that Cosmo would be more willing to ask substantive questions than the New York Times, and yet here we are.

Dr Medical Doctor Jill Stein, M.D., can probably fix it all just by uttering a long string of buzzwords. “United States Imperialism.” “Death-robots.” “War on Terror is a Modern Day Crusade.”

I am a 40-something years old queer, white, mother of a tween girl, living in an affluent suburb in a blue state. My wife and I both work in different juncture points of a hopelessly fucked-up healthcare system. I work full time so that my family has health insurance that we can actually afford while I go to law

Sam Bee is not obligated to support your quixotic dream of remaking our democracy at the expense of our actual democracy.

To give Powell the benefit of the doubt, maybe she had it set up while she was a senator for personal/Clinton Foundation emails. Then when she became Secretary, she had the State Department account routed to that server.

OMFG. I never do this but - this is our headline here at the Slot? Really? The email clearly says she wants to “bring along the state department” and asks for advice. Where is the “bypassing” attempt, exactly?

I keep reading about this. With so many people mentioning it, you know it’s true. Sad!

Double standard? What double standard?

Yes. Which is why it’s so interesting that “many people” are saying Trump donated to NAMBLA.

White hypocrites: “Black people should protest peacefully, not loudly in the streets.”

A woman’s body hair is just as natural as a man’s and many women are pressured to be hairless from the eyelashes down. A woman’s skin is as natural as a man’s, but a woman can lose her job or promotion if she doesn’t paint her face. Women can be suspended from their jobs for being too fat (see the Egyptian news

It just sounds like white French people are realizing that their nation is growing less white and more religious (with Islam growing the fastest) and you're all having panic attacks that your precious "culture" might be changing and OMG STOP THEM before they toss out the wine and foie gras. Seriously, if it weren't

You are missing a key issue in this situation, and it’s leading you to some very authoritarian positions. Would you be willing to discuss the situation to highlight the issue?

Secularism is a big thing in France, of course in the US you have no idea what it’s like. You should really educate yourself before making the claim that French people are totes cool with Catholicism.

Society says fat women shouldn’t show skin, so should they be prohibited from going to the beach in a cover-up b/c society is shaming them for having fat female bodies? This sort of logic lies at the heart of the argument. Women are shamed for their bodies by religions of all types, women are shamed by secular
