After my parents divorced and then my dad lost his job and thus wasn’t really paying child support, my mom was working part-time and then had to go on disability, and we totally got free or reduced lunch, depending on the year.

When I went back to school my son qualified for and ate reduced-price lunch. The form was part of the registration packet, so we filled it out. We were shocked. It was like...shit, we really are broke!

That had to be hard for both of you. I’m not saying your mom was right, but I feel for her too. The last time we saw her, when she was dying, my grandma talked about not being able to provide for her children. She said, “I’m sorry we ate so many beans.” My dad said, “Mama, I still love beans.”

And what kind of dirt bag threatens his wife and unborn child with Sonic?

A 15 minute drive? And he wouldn’t do it? For his pregnant wife? Jesus.

Now you have two members. Nuts in brownies is terrible.

Well, I still support the dumbest cause I have ever supported. I’m just adult enough to come to terms with it.

Being a die-hard capitalist is a pretty dumb cause.

Standford douche had actual living eyewitnesses to the crime while it was happening, though. TWO eyewitnesses. Two MALE eyewitnesses. It’s the next best thing to video.

He’s a Vanderbilt football player. Which means he obviously sucked far too much to get on either of those teams.

Given how many people have been assaulted or raped, I’m amazed they could find a jury at all.

If guys don’t want to rape, they shouldn’t drink.

You can’t serve on a jury about rape if you’ve been raped? Can you not serve on a trial about burglary if you’ve been robbed?

“My husband and I still talk to her, sometimes it’s fine!”

Please stop with the manufactured outrage and learn context .

I did not write “by the same ‘member of a group (as a minority) that is included within a larger group through tokenism’”

Not really
