Fyi, there really arent that many Muslims in Saudi Arabia, most Muslims are from places like Indonesia, India, pakistan, Nigeria etc, there are the same number of muslims in China as there are in Saudi Arabia. Also if you knew anything…

The abaya is no more a symbol of oppression than the miniskirt

It’s hard to explain if you have never worked with mentally challenged children, but that type of contemplation is common among those with cognitive disabilities. In many situations, they are looking for the “right” answers, almost like a people pleasing mechanism on steroids. He might not have any mental illnesses,…

I think that Brendan’s “normal” appearance was what allowed the prosecution to use him as they did. If Brendan had Down syndrome or some other unequivocally recognizable cognitive disability, no one would have accepted his confession as truth. Honestly though, as a high school teacher, there are PLENTY of kids who…

Oh, cloves! do you have cloves? Sticking one next to your hurt tooth helps with the pain for a little while.

Three is a good number for grad school. Why? Because if you know what it is you want to do in life, and you know the kind of institution in which you will flourish, all other choices will automatically fall by the wayside.

Counterpoint: Most (all) dogs are slobbering morons and would wear pants in the most counterintuitive way possible. You’d be like “Dummy, it doesn’t even cover your fucking ass, those pants make literally no sense” and it’d just stare at you blankly while thinking about the joys of eating its own shit.

Generally, that comes right after the ejaculation in this sequence of events.

Beyond the costs of being “no-kill,” it’s a fairy tale that we could possibly find permanent space for all the animals being born and needing homes.

You mad that the cops didn’t kill this woman?

But chasing a pigskin sphere around a lawn is worth $10 million a year.

Southern Easter dinner is usually ham. Glorious, soda and honey soaked ham. (I avoid pork the rest of the year, but refuse to give up the once-a-year baked ham.)
