This NPR article describes the craving from Vietnam for rhino horns driving this illegal poaching. The illegal rhino horn market has driven many to kill to keep the supply flowing. The larger problem are local poachers and those that pay them to kill to support the illegal market. They do the vast majority of…
So i guess you didn't read the story of the guy who paid $200k to shoot the rhino...
Money went to Namibia Black Rhino Conservation Fund and was approved by US Fish and Wildlife
Actually, I filed charges against a stalker once, and against a rapist another time.
I'm not going to try and act like Lena Dunham is the most aware individual because she has proven that she is not, but I can't believe people are actually taking her Tweet at face value. It seemed very clearly sarcastic thanks to the dinner parties thing. There comes a point where justified mockery of a celebrity ends…
You don't consider wanting to keep women subservient by fear of punishment via honor gang rape (often perpetrated by their own male relatives), honor killings (also done by male relatives), terror, and abuse to be hateful. This sort of violence is aimed squarely at women and girls. It isn't done out of love, respect,…
I'd like to point out that the author of the new Spider Man is Brian Michael Bendis, a white guy with 2 adopted African American daughters. He has spoken at length about wanting his daughters to see themselves reflected in comics, which is also why he has written TAKIO, an all-ages comic about 2 adopted super hero…
Hahahaha "sugar globes." I'm going to remember that.
Part of having a job includes adhering to the rules set forth by your employer. When you accept a job offer you are accepting the terms of employment set forth for you. Assuming that what they are outlining as rules do not break any laws, which asking employees to speak English to each other while on the clock does…
My biggest problem with that idea is that then they start shitting out pink cupcakes and princesses for me to play, and I've always been a Tonka Truck kind of girl. I'd rather not have my video games directed at one sex or another.
They can blame 'non-party members' all they like, but no one can argue that the sexism isn't coming from the top. A selection of lovely Tony Abbott quotes, if you're curious:
Kinda makes me wonder what happened to the guy for him to end up like that. Those tricks don't look like something you could do randomly/learn on your own—he seems like a very well-trained athlete.
Also, I don't know if there are many fat people who are acrobats , but if there are, they should call themselves…
But can we all just be amazed by how wonderful the station worker was? He kept on going and doing all he could to keep people safe from the guy. He's a total star!
Funnily enough, the best long-distance runners tend to be the 'women people,' whose physical fitness (in this case being able to gestate and birth a child) has plenty to do with whose DNA got passed down.
No, the photo stays. We Americans are too sheltered compared to the rest of the world. NO CENSORSHIP.
Where are the carcasses? Here's one...my bosses cat LITERALLY kills something everyday I'm at work, be it a lizard or most often a bird. The assassin came in with a dead SQUIRREL once.
I wish I hadn't looked at that. We should have a reasonable expectation of safety and bodily privacy everywhere we go, and that we don't is appalling and infuriating. But somehow the fact that some asswipe was taking pictures of a woman from underneath her desk (currently on the first page) feels even worse than some…
Otaku and Weeaboo of the world rejoice! You'll eventually be able to get a waifu that isn't printed on a body pillow!
Sailor Moon sees nothing wrong with this.
It's sort of the problem with porn writ large.
What charge would you prefer? I agree that this one feels dangerous in a slippery slope way, but also recognize that a person forcing a miscarriage against a woman's will is egregious and a special kind of abuse.
