No, no, don't worry — I was making fun of myself. I really know absolutely nothing about guns.

This gif is the only good thing that's happened in my life in a week.

She strikes me as a genuinely warm person.

I was like, "Oh, Rihanna feeling up people... how Rihanna". Then I got to that pose of hers with the little girl and that is EVERYTHING. I need nothing else, ever again.

I had zero feelings about Rihanna until I saw those pictures and now I am pretty sure I would pay cash money to go to a meet and greet with her.

I did not realize that I needed to be best friends with Rihanna. Holy shit, she is something special. I'm not even a fan and I want to go spend money to meet the lady.

Funny, I just went from liking Rihanna to loving her!

And not that I did not know this but seeing some of the comments on articles about Sterling really underscore how right on track Karem is. So many people screaming about "free speech" and how they disagree with what he said BUT. Worse though are the ones who said "I don't see why it's that big of a deal" or worse…

Yep that one and the little girl who was dressed up like her. Everyone in those pictures was beaming. If she's faking it she's doing it well.

her pic with the girl in the wheelchair made me all warm & fuzzy inside :)

Can't say I was a big Rhianna fan before this (didn't hate her, but not a fan), but she certainly won me over in those pictures.

Have to agree re:white people and ghosts. The other portion is white people who feel *their* racism is justified (science! different cultures! just the way things are!). It's kind of like people who believe in ghosts but not bigfoot on the basis of plausibility. THOSE guys are the crazies, THOSE guys are the *real*…

You have to have a very specific sign to prohibit concealed carry permit holders in Texas. Not only does it have to have specific language, it has to be regulation size. And even then, if you are concealing properly, no one should know you're carrying anyway.

They absolutely can do what they want — unfortunately, conservatives only think private companies have rights when they exercise those rights in a way conservatives agree with. As it was, Starbucks didn't actually ban anything; they just politely asked people to please not bring guns into their stores. The fact that…

They absolutely can. Just like they can say "no shirt, no shoes, no service." But you're using reason and logic which is not this group's strong point.

I am with you 100%. My family owns guns and you know where they keep them? IN A LOCKED SAFE. We're from the South where not everyone is that reasonable, but I come from a culture that practices hunting and everyone in my family really values good gun safety. I don't plan on ever owning a gun myself, but the gulf…

The Starbucks thing confuses me. As a private business, don't they have the right to say "No, you can't bring guns on our property"? My understanding was that concealed and open carry only apply to public property and those private places that don't disallow it. Can businesses not say "We do not allow guns on our…

"Sorry for my language. I just can't deal with this."

This is unrelated but I need to vent. I work in a small locally-owned coffee house that thinks it's also a sandwich shop. The owner can't afford to have more than two of us working at a time, and quite often there is only one of us working. So picture a sweaty, dreary-eyed woman in an apron running from sandwich…
