I think people are just being big prudes about all this. Every time some article about sexting comes up you'll see the comments section filled with comments like "why would anyone be taking pictures of their privates?!," "just STOP sexting," "blah blah blah, get my smelling salts, I'm about to faint, its PENISES!"

Well considering that millions of Thais are of Chinese (East Asian) descent, its not that surprising.

It reminds me of when Facebook went from only being opened to college students to being open to high school students to finally being open to everyone... there was decline in "quality" for the entire trajectory.

I've read a lot of information on how to deal with with those online application portals that scan your resume for key words and phrases, but I've applied to a lot of jobs where I'm emailing my cover letter and resume directly to a person, usually someone who is the position's supervisor. So, my question is how best…

You also have to remember that nowadays the international box office is more important than the US box office. A movie can bomb here in the US but still go on to make millions overseas. Studios are just as conscious of the international profitability as US profitability. The mentality of "movies about Black people"…

Hmmmm, you realize that cousin marriage is completely normal in many cultures (including in the US, until at least recently), right?

Although I see the importance of talking about how the show treats the Black and Latina characters, I also think its interesting how the show treats stereotypes of WHITE characters. We see the same breadth of stereotypes with the white characters, with almost all white characters fitting some trope of white people.…

I've often wondered if the writer's were conscious that they were propagating those racial stereotypes in the beginning of the series so they could then turn those stereotypes on their heads later on in the season. I remember watching the first few episodes and thinking "typical white woman narrative surrounded by…

Yeah, the moment I heard Blurred Lines, the first thing that popped into my head was "unoriginal"

Kal Penn's apology sounded to me more like one of those "I'm sorry you were offended (and I'm not really sorry for what I said)" kinda "apologies"

I'm not trying to be rude but, honestly you don't seem fully aware of your situation. For one, you both have jobs they may be crappy but that alone puts you in a different demographic compared with people that don't have nor can they get one and have $0 income. Secondly, your combined household income doesn't make you…

Check my other response to Dr. Opossum.

And most of the people who will go on and on about how they're "poor but still love is all that matters blah blah blah" won't actually be poor.

Well notice I said "wedding" and not "to get married," key difference. I can only assume most people getting married would want to have a wedding and invite their families/friends.

I was just in Ethiopia and went to a wedding in my friend's hometown in a very rural, agricultural and poor part of the country, and I said to my friend how it didn't seem the couple didn't seem very much in love. My friend started laughing and said they don't really think of it as love right now. The bride's family…

The fact that it isn't an issue to you just tells me financial insecurity really isn't an issue for y'all. Maybe you'd understand it if you were really poor.

But "new realities of gender and economics" are that 1) People just can't afford the thousands of dollars it would cost to have even the simplest kind of wedding. 2) People don't have money the pursue romantic relationships with other people. Dating/meeting people costs money.

I wonder how much of this has to do with the fact that Polynesians are one of New Zealand's main immigrant sources and Polynesians have some of the highest obesity rates in the world...

Yeah I'm aware of all that... It just proves that everything Oprah touches doesn't turn out golden.

I find it ironic that Oxygen (supposedly Oprah's network) features some of these sleaziest shows on television.
