Jews are considered only a religion here and out ethnic identity was white-washed during Jim Crow to try and buy us in to being helpful with segregation. #fail

Jez, please stop calling fraternities frats. Do you call your country a cunt?!

Happy last night of Hanukkah!

As a kid this really would upset me. I was the only Jewish kid and we'd have projects like "write a wishlist for Santa, but since Chanukah all ready happened, you can just write stuff you wish you got..." oh ok cool. Every 8 year old likes to think about all the gifts they DID NOT and WILL NOT get. I think that its…

And had they taken the deal to live peacefully, under the UN designated have more than the Jews plan nobody would have been kicked out of nowhere, the city of Jerusalem would be a sovereign nation state like the Vatican, and ALL these shenanigans wouldn't have happened.

You mean the people who called themselves Jordanian, Egyptian, and Syrian at the time? There was no ethnic cleansing. There was a very very generous UN offer, that the League of Arab Nations rejected. Then, there was a disengagement by the British. A bunch of Holocaust survivors won a war they NEVER should have won, a…

1) I think "take over" is a really harsh way to describe it.

The ethnic cleansing in Nazi Europe you mean? Yes. We still remember our families being caged, starved, and gased to death. Prior to the Nazi's? You mean the Polish Pogroms? The Italian Ghettos, curfews, and job restrictions? The expulsion from England/Neatherlands? The Spanish & Portuguese Inquisition? How about the…

Every policy huh? Like, women voting, driving, workin, being equally educated? How about the policies protecting gay rights? How about social welfare? How about the rights to citizenship for Arabs within the green line? Voting rights for Arab-Israelis (Christian and Muslim)?

a former roommate bought me the book and its deranged and hilarious about a narcissistic Beverly Hlils celebutante wanna be who has a mental breakdown and ends up in intensive therapy. It's honestly amusing. But you hate the main character and sympathize with her therapist.

the illusion of longer legs. both in the "flesh" tones and otherwise, the standing on the ball of your foot causes the natural curve of your calf to stand out in a "more appealing" way (according to...? what I've always been told).

i was a bridesmaid so that was pre-gift & why i wasnt able to give $250-300 like i might have wanted

I started having friends in the wedding circuit a few summers back and have heard from my mom over and over that I don't give ENOUGH. I'm mid-twenties, was still in graduate school at the time, fully supporting myself, and these brides were early twenties. One had the balls to tell me about people who didn't gift/gift…

Poor Lena, someone on her team, a friend, her awesome boyfriend... someone should have said that this skirt makes her look WAY bigger and does not flatter her. She's been so much prettier on the red carpet =(

My greek experience was ALL about work hard/play hard. We had a long list of meetings and requirements handed to us on top of class work at the start of each semester. Most of my friends (sisters) also held internships, worked part time jobs, and really needed to blow off steam. Sometimes, the parties get so much…

I was coming to reply to the OP that we had far fewer women of color coming to our "meet the sisters" (events which lead to bids) than white women. Moreover, many WOC preferred to join the organizations which served the Indian/Asian/African-Black/Latina populations and were exclusionary of white women. That dichotomy…

Once you get a bid to a NPC sorority its REALLY REALLY RARE that you don't get in. You may leave before the end of the introductory/pledge processes.... but you basically have to be a secretly murderous train wreck who fails out to be kept from initiation.

Yup! There is an alumni group in every major city and you can join anywhere... so when you want or need to relocate you can sync up with those people for roommates, realtors, jobs, friends, etc.

(1) the length of time argument is being made by other performers and yes, it has its cons but...

This has gotten way beyond out of control. You aren't even the original poster who made the ridiculous comment I was replying to! No, I work for an Israel Advocacy Organization, like - they write my paycheck.
