Exactly! In Matthew, Jesus says as much, that one’s relationship with god is personal and not to yell in the streets “like the hypicrites do”.

yup. long story short: practicing of a religion is personal and should only be personal.

I grew up in a county in Alabama which had/has the most churches per capital in the state. I was a fundamentalist evangelical Christian as a teen, surely a tedious bore even to my religious classmates, and a general pain in the ass to everyone around me. I policed the actions of my entire family, and my only friends…

Well, ok, so Im lazy and irresponsible now. Okay.

Nope. Nice try, but that implies they know how wind works. To them wind is some inexplicable force probably created by god sighing or some dumbshittery like that.

How much do I love that this is just a secondary part of this story and not how she is described! Other outlets have described this as “Jake Tapper’s Daughter” instead of making it her story. Excellent journalisting!

This hits home. In middle and high school, I wouldn’t answer questions that teachers asked the class, because it seemed like a lose-lose social situation: if I was right, then the other kids would roll their eyes and say “know-it-all,” but if I was wrong, then the other kids would laugh, saying, “Gasp—she got it…

Here’s a link to one of my favorite Ted talks. It rang SO true to me. We teach girls that they need to be perfect. To be afraid of how they’ll be judged and treated by the world around them. I believe this happens because we judge girls much harsher for their mistakes than we judge boys. Instead we should teach girls…

Yep. He tweeted about her initiative last week. In fact this tweet lead to the op-ed in the replies.

Jesus, Mary AND Joseph! I just clutched my imaginary pearls! That room must’ve smelled like wide open a**. Lawd have mercy! Your poor Mom. The visual I just got brought up a little bile. I can’t imagine how she felt seeing it in person.

A few years later, BF and I had broken up, and I was doing online dating. I got a decent message from a guy, look at his profile...and it’s the shitter himself. I say something neutral back, like “You look familiar, are you friends with [BF]?” Dude finally figured out who I was and immediately blocked me. Good…

This is not at all on the same level, but my college boyfriend’s roommate resorted to not flushing their shared toilet after shitting as retribution for...well, the reasons are unclear. It was weird as fuck. They had been friends, and suddenly the roommate was being shitty (lol) to him. My then-BF thought it was…

Something tells me this “conflict” was one-sided considering the Jamaican Barbie insult Becky tried it with.

I don’t see how this doesn’t get her at least removed from campus housing if not expelled from the school entirely. Students who live on campus sign a contract and part of that is abiding by the code of conduct. It’s that simple.

I doubt she had a conflict other than “My roommate is black.”

Well, if they are anything like Brock Turner’s parents, Dan and Carleen, they’ll setup a page so friends and family can help pay for the legal defense of the “tragic situation,” ie rape, that Brock was caught committing. They’ll write tearful letters to the judge describing how their wonderful son is no longer…

I like how the person who smeared period blood and contaminated the goods and living space of another human being (yeah, don’t even try that weak-ass ‘it was a joke!’ shit, kid) thinks they’re of a status so much higher than the target’s, it’s okay to do this sort of shit. Get lost, creep.

Disgusting yatch.

I think I can speak for many people, black or white, when I say:
