I think it's important to preserve all historical artefacts, even those related to horrible periods in history. And lots of historians and amateur history buffs feel the same and I don't think ownership of these objects should be demonised just because, without even bothering to ask what a person's motivation for…

It's a historical artefact. Lots of museums and private collections include similar objects, the interest in owning such a piece doesn't necessarily mean the person supports slavery or wants to go back to it. It could be some history buff who collects all kinds of objects from that period - including objects related…

It's a historical artefact though. There is historic value in preserving these sorts of things, if anything as a reminder of that part of history. Why do you assume that it was being sold in a way that was glorifying slavery? There are a lot of history buffs out there who would probably be interested in owning that,…

I agree that making generalisations about white people isn't racist in the same way that making generalisations about black people. Totally on board with you on that. However, can we please agree that making generalisations about any group is counter-productive and false?

Their historical practices were to make affordable cars for the masses. Yes, they were affiliated with the Nazis but the fact is, everything else about how Volkswagen came about is pretty democratic. So yeah, all I'm saying is, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Yeah but Blake Lively and her stupid Goop knock-off is hardly to blame for that.

Really? How so? For saying that appreciating the aesthetics or artistic merits of an era doesn't mean that you're endorsing everything else attached to that era? Like I said, in that case, let's tear down all the castles and churches in Europe, and the fucking pyramids in Egypt.

Really? So everyone should burn their Volkswagen cars and never buy another Hugo Boss suit again because last I checked, WWII happened after the US Civil War. And "civilizations that don't exist anymore" doesn't exactly apply to the Catholic church or the hundreds of millions of Europeans who can appreciate the…

Speaking of snazzy Nazi uniforms, you do know that Hugo Boss was one of their designers, right? Last I checked, they're still making beautiful suits, but their Nazi beliefs are gone.

While you raise some good points, the fact is, all historical periods have a horrible dark side. So if you feel that plantation houses should only serve as museums to remind people of slavery, does that mean that you feel that the Vatican should stop operating as the HQ of Catholicism, and only serve to remind us of…

Also, it's fucking Gwyneth Paltrow. That she's out of touch should be a given at this point, why do people still bother taking it personally or expecting her to act otherwise??? It boggles the mind, quite frankly.

I also wish women would stop falling for the 'light' or 'diet' yogurt scam. They take out the fat (which isn't bad for you) and replace it with empty carb calories (corn starch) to thicken it. And they pump it full of artificial sweeteners. Just buy 2% yogurt, for fuck's sake. And don't buy the yoplait or danone kinds…

Yoplait isn't even yogurt, it's white paste that calls itself yogurt. Much less if it's the 'light' version (all light yogurts are a scam).

The stupid. It hurts.

That's what I'm saying. I think this is a good thing.

What does the status quo have to do with anything? This isn't about politics for me. It's about two things:

I don't give a shit about Spiderman so that's for those fans to care about. As for ghostbusters, I stand by my opinion but doesn't mean I'll lose any sleep if they decide to go ahead with this ridiculous…

This!

No, she was crazy for a long time before making those accusations. Last year a judge ordered a conservatorship and named her parents conservators. That's not an easy thing to do unless you're totally batshit and a risk to yourself. Then the conservatorship ended and her parents chose not to renew it and that's when…

Right, cause it's totally coherent to say you've had a microchip implanted in your head.
