Well nothing spices up my morning coffee like some casual anti-semitism.

As a Jewish person, I am so sick of our people being dragged into this shit. Just leave us out.

I wasn't comparing racism and anti semitism (although to imply that there is no history of institutional anti semitism is pretty laughable). Then again, neither was he. He was suggesting that Jewish people have connections because of their religion and that allows them to succeed. I was taking exception to that…

Can you remind me where I said I knew "2" black people?

Agreed. A) It's rude. B) It's counterproductive. Nobody in history has ever thought, "hey, that sanctimonious asshole has a point. I'm glad he was so needlessly offensive and crass, and I'm going to become JUST LIKE HIM." Which leads me to C) this behaviour isn't about being right or changing minds, because it…

Activism without passing judgement on those who do not adopt your lifestyle is usually considered non-irritating (And I'm using "you" in the general sense). Peta will get people 'frothing at the mouth' angry, while Alicia Silverstone is viewed as someone who is just...quirky. And quirky gets people interested, even if…

The point with food-chewing is CONTEXT. Yes, other cultures do it. Why? Because there are still cultures where access to food processors and safe food prep methods isn't exactly a given. So some cultures, faced with a lack of options, pre-chew tough foods like meat or fiberous vegetables for small children to consume.…

This is not to say that people who weren't born in America can't have opinions on American culture, including our meat-eating culture, but I have to wonder, too, if this seems particularly annoying because Morrissey is an English dude bitching about a pretty sacrosanct American holiday? That's not to say I don't…

I always hate it when you see some fanatical vegetarian or vegan throwing metaphorical red paint everywhere, it's like ARGH. I just want to be veggie for my own reasons. We don't need someone being a radical frontman for our personal choice.

no no no no

The gay fish of the Galapagos will be really happy, though.

Gems from Kanye West:

Because Kanye takes himself too seriously. He can't just create something and let the world accept or reject it. Instead he's basically telling everyone "this is amazing and if you don't like it you're an idiot." He's making himself into a clown, the rest of us are just following his lead.

I know art is subjective (all the other things I'm suppose to say, etc), but Kanye puts art out there so pretentiously and he's always so cocky about it. I think that attitude turns people off more then the actual product itself.

Plus, um... Kim Kardashian. Yeah.

That's a special kind of risk taking, telling a server that they're not going to get tipped ahead of time.

How is it possible that these people made it to adulthood without whoever was responsible for them saying at some point "If you can't afford to tip, you cannot afford to eat out?"

I'm more worried about the little boy who actually likes to bake; people with your frame of mind tend to factually bully them relentlessly. Often to quite definitive consequences.

Bullshit. Sorry, but, massive bullshit. It is significantly harder for children who don't conform to gender norms. I have been a fish monger since I was 13, and the kind of shit that gets said to me because I am a woman just staggers me. On the other hand, we have countless examples of people trying to be feminist and…
