Lordy, I’m Black & my family is like 1 generation out of the South. I get sick of the Confederate monuments because this is the fucking USA & they were literally traitors to that purpose.

I have friends with kids in the target audience and they are mostly ok with the book and the show. Again, they don’t think it’s perfect, but ok for teens in high school. It is a gateway for them to discuss things with their children that doesn’t make them feel awkward, I guess.

Apparently the ACA has just been repealed. This will get worse before it gets better...

I think you misunderstood me. His employers knew he was lying to his wife about the 12 cars & all the parts he stored at work. They knew and still thought he was trustworthy. I wouldn’t have. Wouldn’t matter what he said at that point- I wouldn’t have trusted him.

The only thing that surprised me was the employer’s lack of concern. I mean, he had 12 vehicles stored on their property; they knew his wife was not aware of them. Plus the hoard of parts. That isn’t minimal and suggests a distinctly dishonest person. Who knowingly employs a dishonest CPA without checking up on his…

I am interested to see this show, though I doubt I will recognize younger versions of myself or my friends. See, although I fight for it- I’ve felt divorced from the Black community for quite some time. When I started UCLA in the fall of ‘92 - the Queer & Black communities were... barely civil. I had to choose. I…

While this is awful, I am not remotely surprised. At this point, I might be ok with legalizing discrimination in service industries provided the full list of folks they deny service to is on all their advertisements. & in specific places within their establishment.

As a brown person, Goop is high comedy. I don’t want it to ever go away! It an ass backwards & bizarre cultural appropriation that will probably kill a few before it is done.

Ew. Just ew.

Thanks, I’ll try the breakdown. I like to know what the hubbub is about, but the writing... couldn’t.. do...it.

Are you responding to the wrong poster? I was responding to someone who brought up adoption as the answer to abortion. My post is fine in that context.

I’m shocked folks know the plotline of this tripe; I barely made it through the first book. People know there is actual erotic erotica right?

I never felt like she was a strong contender. Most HRC supporters I knew (including myself) were reluctant to vote for her and felt like she would not take the country where we needed​ to go. On the flip side of that, plenty of people loathed HRC and they were legion. And I’m not in a conservative bastion. I never…

Honestly, I hate most mind altering drugs. I’ve grown up with alcoholics & drug addicts in the family. When using isn’t interesting to you, being around people who are drunk and/or high is annoying as fuck. I purposely do not share company with the habitual users of anything.

No, that is acceptable to you. It is specifically not acceptable to me. You are more concerned about money, I am more concerned about abuse. I’d rather abort than give a child to people I can’t vouch for.

Even if I give you that point, which is iffy; there is still the problem of not wanting to hand your baby over to a stranger. Adoption isn’t some simple solution.

My bad, I will exclude the children.

Honestly, women keep women down. They are complicit in their own oppression. If you can’t own up to that, we will never change enough of society to matter.

This isn’t always true. There are more children awaiting adoption than adoptive parents in the US right now. Additionally, while there are a lot of people waiting for babies, that in itself is no indication that they are good people who will make good parents. I don’t trust strangers, or the state to vet them. I am…

I applaud #45 for ripping the mask off this sad sack nation and revealing just how badly we suck. And I do mean “we”. From the most regressive conservative to the most sanctimonious progressive; we are a nation of assholes who believe they are victims.
