Some sort of Kenyan blood magic, probably.

it’s because you’re a f*cking d’bag. that’s why.

I question the first part of your statement.

You’re having a hard time feeling sympathy for the family of a woman who was tragically killed because she was randomly pulled out of a crowd to participate in a gun demonstration?

I read it and thought that somehow a Clinton was working for Fox News. I’m weird too.

I remember when this happened. I was 15 and super upset that people would be offended by the idea of a female president. When they re-ordered the shirt my mother bought me one and I have held onto it for 11 years. Today I busting it out and wearing it again and I am excited to think that “someday” might be sooner than…

Yep. This was within my working-adult lifetime— and since you seem surprised by it, I’m guessing it was also within your mom’s lifetime, rather than your own. ^^ But that puts it in perspective! Marital rape wasn’t outlawed until 1993, if that helps clarify the picture a little more. The fight for women’s rights and…

What exactly is a family-friendly platform? One where the woman candidate promises to make cookies? Or the one that exists for the world we live in where she is trying to reduce the number of kids who die from gun violence.

Not sure how I feel about this. I mean she was part of the Manson family, so yeah no parole makes sense, but she was 19 when she did these murders/helped with these murders and isn’t our justice system supposed to be about rehabilitation? I get that Manson himself should never see the light of day, and to be honest if…

Is it possible that ... he actually is so white that it’s contagious? Maybe there *were* several African-Americans and Latinos in the group, but after repeated Ryan exposure, they TURNED WHITE?

If you got so drunk that a mugger noticed and decided to take advantage of that, a lawyer wouldn’t attempt to use your drunkenness to get the mugger off charges.

How quickly people forget...

And, it might be pointed out that it is possible to change circumstances when you have kids. My friend’s travel the world with their son — they’re basically nomads. It’s pretty cool. My husband and I chose to move overseas, and we travel a lot with our kid.

I think its more just male entitlement.

You jest, but point in fact, the loss occurred when they were down three players because of the detentions. I can hear on the horizon the bellowing whinges of a thousand affronted Anglophone dudes who’ve never watched men’s volleyball in their life but are now uberfans bewailing the Politically Correct Police State cum…

If *this* is very offensive to you, how do you operate on a day-to-day basis? Are you very offended by everything? The point of the article is not the specifics of her situation—being able to pack up and travel the world, tour through Europe, whatever—but showing that sometimes choosing to be vulnerable even when it…

To be fair, though, I read this as less running away and more I’m going to give something I always wanted to do a try. She worked and saved for her goal, she didn’t ask her mom to foot any bills, she planned, she seems to be supporting herself and doing what she wanted to do.

Wow. You know, I’m also struggling with these issues. Parts of this spoke to me intensely, other parts I didn’t relate to at in the slightest, because the author and I are different people, with different experiences, even though we seem to share some common ground. But I’m damn sure not going to tear her down or be…

Seriously. How dare she move on with her life? Doesn’t she know her purpose in in this world is to be miserable and thus entertain everyone else in the world with her suffering? [/sarcasm]

I’m trying to figure out why this is even gossip-y enough to merit advertising to try to sell a book? Because...I mean...he doesn’t have kids and also lots of people are not good with kids? Hell, I have a kid and I’m not that great with other people’s kids. They are weird and mysterious and sticky. And they get really…
