I mean, it’s more than a little weird when you consider that the people fighting to KEEP slavery were called Rebels. It’s a very very very poor choice of words, regardless of intent.

Maybe the lesson that can be learned is that violent behavior can not be predicted upon a set of arbitrary character traits, as if though we can group up all of “those” (insert whoever you like) people as the “dangerous” ones.

Yeah, I’m not gonna give him any points just for being only sort of racist and not as racist as humanly possible.

As long as they weren’t fully black, because you know, self-loathing and all

While I agree that we don’t know enough to talk about what caused this, I do want to point out that there is a difference between explanations and excuses. We can attempt to understand a person and their behavior without excusing their actions.

Every. Fucking. Time.

A veteran and UCC student named John Parker Jr. gave an interview to MSNBC in which he said he was on campus at the time of the shooting carrying a concealed handgun, and implied other students with him were armed as well.

I tripped on a sidewalk once and slammed face first into Martin Scorsese's shoe. He asked me if I was alright, so that makes me an Oscar contender, right? Or a director? Famous in some way, right? Right?

I mean, we’re Christians in the basic definition that we believe in Christ. But many Christians believe that the Catholic Church doesn’t follow the Bible closely enough and even contradicts the Bible. Specifically, our belief in purgatory (the Bible only discusses heaven and hell), confessing sins to a priest (instead…

I’ve heard about Fassbender, Penn, Howard, Connery, and Brown but not the others mentioned by the OP. Frankly, I’m kind of surprised that Jezebel has never approached the domestic abuse allegations about Bill Murray considering they often do Bill Murray friendly posts.

The thing that drives me batshit crazy about this whole thing is that Apostolic Christians don’t believe that Catholics are real Christians! Why is she so excited to meet the head of the Catholic Church if she believes Catholics are going to hell?! (Answer: Because she’s an attention whore.)

How do we know about Ryan Gosling’s dick?

There’s a well known “Hot Famous White Guy” exception on Jez when it comes to domestic violence and misogyny.

So are we just going to avoid the fact that Fassbender beat his girlfriend a few years ago?

It’s rude to tell me how to eat my pizza.

When I was a child and my parents would leave me and my sister alone on a weekend night, they would buy us soda and a Tony’s pepperoni pizza. I have vivid memories of sitting in front of the oven and watching the pizza cook, the pepperonis turning from salmon colored flat disks into dark red cups, brimming full of hot…

For what it’s worth, I thought J Lo was excellent in Out of Sight.

Whatever, she’s aging well. No shame in saying so.

Can we talk about J.Lo for a moment? I know nobody cares about my stupid boner (deservedly so), but man oh man she just keeps getting more gorgeous. I always hear outrageous stuff that she slathers herself in creams that cost $10,000 an ounce that are made from angel farts and unicorn tears and I get annoyed, then I…
