I agree that it is faulty to claim to know 100% something doesn't exist, but take issue with the idea that evangelical Christians and atheists are equally as bad. I live in a country, in a specific part of that country (the southeastern U.S.A.) where Christians in general, and evangelical Christians in particular,…

Yes, but do you not think that the second comment you made and the way you phrased the first ("fuck around" as oppose to "cheat") may make it seem like a dig at polyamourous couples? Why even bring them up in the very next comment when it isn't even about them?

Then why did you bring up poly relationships in your reply to yourself if this isn't about poly relationships? This, coupled with how you phrased the first comment, makes it easy to understand why some would take your comments as a dig against non-monogamous relationships, especially because you used the term "fuck…

When people were freaking out over Harry Potter, I found a copy of the first book in an urban fantasy series, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter, by Laura K. Hamilton (I was looking for Virginia Hamilton), on the middle school library shelf. Ended up reading most of them through the public library and sitting in bookstores. …

" 'I don't use them." "Really?" I said, trying to hide my surprise. "I can't. I don't want to have to touch…" she paused. "Down there." She whispered it quietly the same way my family whispers the word cancer. "How do you masturbate?" I blurted out.' "

The kind of "pretentious fucking knob" that is a teenager who misquotes classic literature, gets the math wrong when trying to explain infinity (I think that was it) in some really pretentious way, etc. Even Hazel, the POV character in the book, at one point thinks on how she finds him more adorable when he isn't…

"but he was really perfect in the moments when he didn't bullshit and make everything a gesture or a metaphor."

I think it is a lack of empathy to some extent, in that she may fail to recognize and accept other people's life situations. For instance, I remember reading how before she and her partner had a child, she was really hard on people who didn't give all their attention to working out. However, when they got a child and…

Na uh uh, God promises to never destroy by water. But fire, disease, earthquake..... all up for grabs. As a matter of fact, tidal waves might be fine too because I can't remember if he specified rain or water in general.

There have been school shootings for centuries. Do you refer specifically to the number of casualties and intended targets (seemingly random targets vs. specific targets)? I also think that the types of weapons accessible and the availability of instantaneous national news coverage plays a role.

I think organizations like PISSAR are good for that reason and I hope they are spreading. http://www.uclgbtia.org/pissarChecklis…

I have a belief that many social conservatives are okay with radical changes in social norms that made it okay for them to be freer than they could have before and do what they like, but want society to go no further. So these women are okay with the right to vote, the ability to wear their favorite styles without…

I didn't know some athletes had 24 hours in advance, it makes sense though to cut down on dangers of dehydrated performance. However, if everyone knows the score, including the judges and people doing weigh-ins, why not just increase the spread on the weight group by 3 or 4 pounds?

According to the contestant who violated non-disclosure, they are all encouraged to take diuretics and cut water the day before, and of, a weigh in. They do other tricks associated with cutting weight for competition to such as work out in a hot room in sauna suits. Apparently that is a huge reason they get such large…

I think it has to do with them enjoying the harassment and "putting women in their place" by trying to make them feel bad and verbally abuse them for dare turning them down. I don't want to inflate the numbers of men who can claim to get a meeting from these tactics by joining these sites, setting up dates , and then…

Ah yes, because pointing out it seems odd that some people feel the need to tell others what they should and shouldn't waste their time on, usually only when it applies to criticism regarding representation and privilege, is clearly a sign I deserve to be dismissed and am being hostile. How dare anyone have an…

"Is it just me or does the collective Twitter population all seem to have way too much time on their hands?"

I just watched that episode! And it is so appropriate for this article.

I liked her in "Repo Man The Genetic Opera" where she played a spoiled, self-obsessed heiress trying to make a singing career despite being a terrible singer. That made me think the whole thing is a complete act.
