Based on the image above, she should be played by someone noseless.

Help me understand this. African Americans are mad that a Caucasian got the lead of Esmeralda who in the book and play is a French Roma who is neither white or black but rather Indian (country) looking. Should not the Indian be appauled at both of the groups.

Exactly. While having anyone in the judiciary suggesting sterilization is quite a bit sketchy as well as raising the fear this will set a bad precedent....I can’t find it in myself to work up a lot of outrage over a drug addict with 7 kids, 6 of whom went into the system, and some of whom she used drugs while…

seven. What the fuck.

Search your fucking soul. If you support women aborting their fetuses because the children are unwanted, you might consider the actions of a judge that stopped a drug addict from birthing more children with drug related developmental problems.

Seriously. What exactly was offensive about the doctor offering evidence based advice?

I have a finite supply of outrage and won’t expend any on an addict with 7 kids choosing voluntary sterilization.

Any good doctor would have made that recommendation. You thinking he was implying you’re a floozy does not make any sense.

Irrelevant, but I hope that Jezebel does an article on this breaking story:

Beautiful statement. Such a sad end to her story. RIP & condolences to her family & friends.

Read the whole article, Messick was a junior manager which means she was still on a desk as an assistant to Rose’s main manager and didn’t get all the info and could and most likely been left out of future information.

That is so horrific and sad on so many levels. Her poor family, JFC. Depression is no joke.

The perils of ideally directed, but still indiscriminate, carpet bombing.

That first is sentence is something that I had originally wrote, but thinking further, I realized how it could come off, and as someone (a gay man) who has been groped (by straight women, lesbian women, and gay men). I see the inherent…

My son is autistic and it’s hard. It’s really, really hard. And he’s not even on the far end of the spectrum. But he’s my boy and I’m glad he’s around.
Most of the time.

My daughter has Down Syndrome. She’s a-fucking-mazing. And super cute. We found out from early pre-natal testing, and for five minutes, I did consider aborting and trying again. But I knew that I couldn’t be that person who ran away from something challenging. And after all, she was my baby.

I don’t think it is hypocritical. However as the mother of a 3 year old with epilepsy I just wanted to say that there are absolutely no guarantees that your child is going to be healthy despite all the genetic testing you may do. There are plenty of very serious conditions that there are no tests for (unless perhaps…

I have a son with Down syndrome and I have very conflicted feelings about this. My son is amazing and he is perfect the way he is. I strongly believe in the right to choose, at the same time it breaks my heart that people see my son as a liability as someone who requires so much sacrifice. As a parent of two children,…

After Roman Polanski kicks the bucket, can we just stop talking about anything that had to do with Manson ever again? I’m talking complete culture-wide radio silence. Let that creepy fucker be lost to history.

I agree with her. There’s no reason for any of these projects

This worthless fucker admitted to all of the charges! At the age of 43 he drugged and orally, vaginally and analy raped a 13 year old child. That would be a felony if it had been a 40 year old woman (see Bill Cosby). Fuck anyone who makes any kind of excuse for this entitled piece of human garbage. To have this fucker…
