Heehee this is a really interesting technique!

I am not trying to give it a pass. It is just frustrating that after such an interesting essay, the top comments are about the grammar and not about the content. But I certainly understand that you are probably equally frustrated with the grammar so I guess...the end.

Well you are correct about that sentence. I have no excuse.

I think this is a great discussion, but please refrain from this generalization. South America is a continent and every country is incredibly different. I also can't understand this comment due to the history and current relationship between Haiti and The Dominican Republic. From the countries I have visited…

You have great points! But I think this essay is just trying to zero in on the relationship between women; she never outlines a hierarchy, placing black enslaved men above white women, so she really didn't say that or try to say that. It is my understanding from this essay that white women need to understand the…

I really think commenting on the grammar instead of the content is taking away from the essay right now, not the grammar itself.

Thanks for replying.I guess there is just no knowing what they talked about when it was just the two of them too. I do think that people who aren't stricken with the diseases around body issues and food have a harder time understanding why it is a crippling disease and not just a "diet" sometimes. Just like any other…

Right. Do you think that is what Doug was trying to say? Who the fuck knows, right? Or he was just being snarky about the cutting of grass because he is incapable of another tone? Oh, never-mind, I answered my own question.

Thank you for your story and your strength. May I ask a difficult question? Why was your father not more vocal about your mother and her controlling strategy regarding you? Have you spoken with him about it?

:(. I wish there was an I recommend this post but now I am depressed button.

I feel like this whole "returning to humbleness" line of the new papacy is just to distract everyone from the fact that they still are not doing shit to deal with their pedophilia problem.

+1000. This this this. First of all this Polish dude is freaking me out. Second of all. SECOND OF ALL! I just get so upset about this victim blaming stuff. Little children can gravitate to people because they like them, just like adults do. There is nothing wrong with selecting whom you want to interact with. But for…

Its just so stupid to think that white people and black people are perceived in even remotely the same way, even more so if they are poor. I get that for some of us white folks its hard to figure out. It takes time and educating ones self: as a white person, you will never "understand" the ubiquitous difference in…

She is going to belt the shit out of EVERYTHING.

I freaking love your story! Can't believe you closed it with thinking that it isn't interesting. That would be like my dream interaction.

Damn your beautiful logic!!

Its kinda cute that you think that. I wish I felt that way but I now understand that beauty standards have been imposed upon women in order to make them attractive according to a hetero-normative lifestyle. It is a false choice. We may have more variations, but we are still trying to find at least an "acceptable"…

Conspiracy theory! I like it.

Fire Doug!

I don't understand why he is still on the staff after that.
