A little bit but not really, certainly no worse than any other homogenous group of tweens. That was kind of my point, there were no racist assholes other than a bunch of 11 and 12 year old boys, and that's almost a tautology.

What white people on the show were portrayed as racist assholes? The 11 year olds in the jr high cafeteria? ::tears::

Speak for yourself, not the rest of us.

I've lived here for 23 years and have never head of Boston Burger Company until your comment here. My first thought was Sullys in Cambridge, but they don't have a basement, and Bartleys doesn't serve booze.

Yeah I was about to start moving South, it didn't occur to me to go back up Rt 63! Who lives up there? I mean I guess in my head I knew that people did, but for some reason it seems weird to me.

Oh man, I would not have guessed Northfield in a million years.

Amherst, Hadley, Leverett, Pelham, Shutesbury, or Montague?

It really is a beautiful piece of prose, isn't it?

The officer in question was female.

As with the murder of the couple going to buy a car, this is one of those things that tests the strength of my belief that the death penalty is wrong.

We can go back to calling it "confinement" — back in the days when Rubella was still rampant and caused birth defects and mental retardation of a severity that we have not seen in 50 years (or even before that, since babies born…

What kind of idiot doesn't know you have to cook eggplant? Has she never eaten eggplant parm? Did she not notice that there was something really different about her sliced raw eggplant and the eggplant one normally finds in an eggplant parm? Jesus.

Jayze, that's mad craic down in Caaaaaark there.

As long as their insane paranoia and idiocy only killed one of their kids and didn't take anyone else's child with it, I'm ok.

Really? Maybe they'd be better off in a household with people who don't think that having loaded, unsecured guns at a height that children can reach them is a good idea.

No, just her own potential future children. That seems like a fair trade to me.

Well, she should live with this for the rest of her life. She caused it. What other outcome would you want? That she somehow magically have all memory of this washed away, or have her feel no guilt or shame or remorse? That's the price of being a complete piece of shit — you have to live with yourself.
