Published in 1993, and written by Lois Lowry, The Giver was my favorite book for a long time as a kid. The thing that stands out to me the most about this quick and satisfying read, is that it doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator of teens and kids. It's actually fairly complex for a kids book, and it really…

Canada is also nice for vacations.

She is not from CA. She is Midwest/East coast through and through, read her bio. Born in New England, college in Wisconsin, lives in NYC. Nice try Jezebel. Your hatred for the West coast is evident.

No, it's a hatred of women.

Uuuuh, all those healthcare costs associated with baby-making can be counted the fuck out when you consider it takes a throbbing, willing, penis to create a child. Why should the burden fall entirely on women? How is that fair?

What are you doing? Being a misogynist knight of the keyboard?

I'm going to venture a guess that most wikepedia articles are indeed, written when sitting on one's ass.

Well there's plenty of evidence currently to point to the contrary. I don't know much about these peeps.

It was my history text my freshman year of high school!

Imagine if this were titty pics. Not cool, man.

Bill Withers-esque. Have you ever seen her play/sing sped-up? Watch this gem. She is so insanely talented. Never heard an ill-word spoken about her.

Can't lie. This premise is intriguing. It's so, so, wrong, but intriguing. Sort of reminds me of a mix between Dirty Work and She-Devil. Both most excellent films. I understand it's shameful that I want to watch this, but I still do.

yessssssssss

I think it's safe to say the pressure to be thin outweighs the pressure to have large breasts/hips etc. Large, natural breasts in porn are a rarity. You have to look for them.

What if it just annoys me when white, upper-middle-class, try-hards get really generic wanna-be pin-up girl tattoos and act all righteous about it like it's actually original and spiritual? WHAT THEN?? AM I RACIST OR IGNORANT?

Sooo agree. My brother is prettier than me and in a way, I feel bad for him. He'll just never have to use his intellect to get him anything. His personality and intelligence suffer as a result. He's nice, but vapid, superficial and shallow.

Sorry about your pooch. I was walking my grandmas dog the other evening and she was hit by a truck right in front of me. I am sad, and feel so guilty. Keep your head up. I know it's hard.

From the Seattle area here and it's the same. Not a big deal, at all. The people who think it is a big deal.... should really move somewhere else, like Missouri or something,

Could say the same about whiskey, cigars and air-fresheners but you don't see me complaining about it. Live and let live, man.

Don't let Gallagher see this!
