That's a "some of the people, some of the time" argument. I would imagine that it's quite rare for one person to at once agree/disagree with the celebrity involvement.

When I was a Peace Corps volunteer, the director of the organization came to the village where I was living and asked what I thought of women's empowerment programs.

Uh, no. Nope and no again.

Yeah, it is that easy.

For me, it's the title of the article that suggests that there should be anger as opposed to simply sharing and learning from an experience.

See, this is one of my pet peeves in life: don't conflate your doctor's lack of understanding of a diagnostic tool with the validity of the tool.

My standard? You mean people who don't lecture me about how "aware" they are right after making a truly dense, ignorant, insensitive and quintessentially unaware statement?

A friend's husband went to an auction and bought a miniature portrait of a lovely blue-eyed, blond-haired woman because her dress matched the wallpaper in the very nice closet that my friend had an architect design in their new home. It was a thoughtful and sweet gift by someone who clearly wanted to make his wife…

245 calories? Goodness.

I'm 5'2", but whenever I wear "petite" trousers, they stop just above my ankles. Since I am short everyone just assumes that I like to wear ankle length trousers and jeans.

But what is he supposed to have said?

I guess I would ask what makes you think that your average non religious person does a better job of sex education than these people would? I work in public health, specifically in the field of sexual and reproductive health and I am consistently stunned by the amazing lack of knowledge of people when it comes to…

I think that's a bit unfair.

Yeah, but at the end of the day they are both there to sell a product. If people didn't respond well to the ad UA would drop the campaign and go for what sells. It's equally cynical.

Yeah, she has some fierce coats. I also think she has some great outfits, too. I was living in London during the Jubilee and she walked past me in this stunning red coat/dress/not sure thing. She has some definite "hits" in her repertoire.

I would like to challenge that motion.
