I found this ad worse than useless. What was the message, exactly? "Domestic violence is scary, and. . .exists" Nothing about how to recognize when someone may be in a dangerous relationship, or what to do about it, or how to promote a culture where it's not say, acceptable for football players to commit it with no…

I'm as relatively close-by as Canada and I understand where you're coming from. Completely. Despite the fact that roughly 75% of Canadians live within 100 miles of a U.S. border crossing, it's still easy for most of us to feel like we're from another planet when news stories like this break and the spotlight turns —…

I have no idea how you reached that conclusion, based on everything else I said. They're idiots because they keep a loaded handgun where a toddler can reach it.

I've said it and I'll keep saying it: Week-long, mandatory safety courses and trigger locks as a requirement for concealed carry. Failure to have either will get your gun impounded and the barrel filled with a non-removable polymer.

I'm sorry (not sorry) I'm from the UK and so this is an outsider's perspective - do you really need to be carrying guns around? Especially when you've got kids and the best case scenario if you were attacked would involve you juggling your child/children while dealing with the threat? I get why people need guns for…

You would be correct.

Too late to edit my previous comment. This is Gawker's headline:

Barristers in the UK prosecute and defend; almost none specialise on one side or the other though most have a preference. If you work in the field of human rights, you are not always on the 'right' side and it's naive to think you would be or should be. She's a lawyer, not the saviour of the world, and it's tiresome…

Yeah, I understand there are character limits in the headlines, but BOTH the parents were shot - and, as you said, the father was probably injured much more severely - so it's strange to omit the father from the headline entirely in favor of alerting us to the presence of a fetus. (Also smacks of the classic "women's…

There is a myth perpetuated out there that a toddler does not have the strength to pull the trigger on many hand guns. This served as an argument against further safety features. These spate of toddlers shooting their parents, caregivers, friends and siblings can in part be blamed for that irresponsible wishful…

Right? It is not difficult, even if you're doing concealed carry. They specifically make purses with secured pockets for your gun that a toddler couldn't get to. It's becoming really fucking hard to advocate for continuing gun ownership when so many people are goddamn morons about it.

She was a Responsible Gun Owner™ right up until that point. Now she isn't. So there is no reason to pretend this sort of thing happens to Responsible Gun Owners™, because she stopped being one that instant.

Dad getting shot in the lower back seems a little more serious than Mom getting shot in the arm, even if there was a fetus present nearby.

People. Stop keeping guns where your kids can get them. It really isn't that hard.

Amal Clooney is a lawyer. She takes on both prosecutions and defenses. Sometimes defending human rights means taking on controversial cases, and sometimes it means making sure someone gets a fair trial.

I would just like someone to tell me the rules.

Boys don't rape women. Rapists rape women.

Hey Kelly, I'm the girl who tweeted at Amanda saying I wanted to cover up my Dresden Dolls tattoo. My Twitter handle is @drkeithablow, in case you were wondering.

That's NOT the main message of that movie?!

As a person who got into a weird twitter fight with this lady over her watching 12 years a slave and it causing her to think about how mean people were being to Macklemore, I can attest that she is the goddamn worst.
