I am wondering if any of this will change ESPN’s mind on the broadcast of that documentary. If they don’t update it to address this and other instances, I hope they shitcan it all together.

I am a gun owning progressive. I am vulnerable to the concept of legislative change but I think it needs to be done with nuance. As a moderate I struggle when we toss around words like “arsenal” for 6-13 guns. It seems intentionally misleading and inaccurate. Do I personally think 13 guns is excessive? Yes. But I am

When asked how often he showers, Kris Humphries answered, “I’m a grower, not a shower.”

Also, could people please remember this the next 100 times a comment section here is filled with people talking about sororities as nothing but a group of girls buying friends. Here’s one example of why organized groups have value: there was an organization available to make an official response, and they have an

This will probably get lost in the sea here, but everyone should know about this man - Chris Mintz. He was injured while trying to block the shooter from entering one of the rooms. He ended up with multiple gunshot wounds and two broken legs. How much better would it be if everyone remembered his name instead of the

This guy is like a dream board of traits that every person can blame for being particularly violent.

Pledging a fraternity let me break out of my shell in college, I never had a lot of friends in high school, in college, I was a wallflower, I pledged my sophmore year, and became vice president in 2 years. I built my confidence up, became a respected senator on student council, and was generally well liked. There are

I thought the article was about the racial issues underlying the false accusations of rape made against black men, like the first several paragraphs... But then a few sentences later, it’s just a retelling of two black women falsely accusing white men of rape... Did I miss something, or is this just all the f over the

You could make a case she’s ducking Cyborg, but I go back and forth.

It’s not a lifestyle choice; they were sewn this way!

and the interwebs are left with retribution blue balls..... :-(

I remember a few months ago when Seinfeld said the exact same thing and everyone here freaked the fuck out and sad censorship is good. I can’t wait for Salon and Buzzfeed to have think pieces about why Obama is wrong

Her initial response to the comment was just fine. I do object that she seems to have chosen to use the man’s real name. The guy’s message was inappropriate, but he didn’t deserve to be publicly shamed. Frankly, I think less of her as a person now than I do him. I am sick of people of all viewpoints believing that

WHO WILL WATCH THE WATCHERS

He is right. The current batch of college students seem to think that free speech means freedom from being offended. It does not. Without differing perspectives, these kids are going to graduate, step into the real world and fail because their intolerance of disagreement will become insubordinate in the workplace and

I’m loving the new “Fuck All Y’All” Obama. And I wholeheartedly agree with him on this. I went to large college in a major city well-known for it’s liberal-ness, and our school’s College Republicans were constantly hosting talks by some of the biggest conservative slime out there (two I remember specifically were Pat

Hey, can’t people just be attracted to whatever they like, they argue. Is it really discrimination to prefer a man who is tall, dark, or handsome to a man who is short, pale, and just OK-looking? Alternately, is it really so wrong to want a woman with blonde hair and big tits versus one with brown hair and smaller

I know this line of thinking is popular but it makes me laugh. It’s basically just an excuse for most women to not date a man for his height by hiding behind the so-called personality flaw that comes from said height. Besides, short guys have every right to be furious that they’re not being selected because of their

It’s a little tasteless to speak for all New Yorkers with respect to what they found most meaningful post-9/11. I’m fervently anti-Bush, but I can also acknowledge that lots of Americans found his leadership (and his first pitch) comforting in the wake of the most traumatic event in the country’s history.

I’m not going to sit here and tell Beverly Johnson she shouldn’t forgive. What I am going to say is that I know I could not do the same. This woman has more strength and courage in her finger than Cosby has in his whole horrible body.
