Who is Judith Miller? She’s an idiot. As are all the other idiots on Twitter linking the Paris attacks to whatever wingnut cause they support.

I agree with you except the part about changing her books after her death without her approval. Just no. Not just for the obvious legal reasons but even if her estate approved it. I don’t believe in whitewashing history. Along the same lines of what another commenter said in response to one of my comments, it is what…

Bye bye now, asshole troll.

What the fuck are you blathering on about? I said put the story in its proper historical context instead of just throwing it out and declaring it useless. There is so much in the Pippi Longstocking books that is awesome for children, I don’t see why you couldn’t still read them the stories and explain the racist parts…

Who said that? I said it’s important to put things into their proper historical context. What does motherfucker or the n-word have to do with that?

Books and art often reflect the prevailing views of the time they were written in. It’s important to understand the context. It doesn’t mean the entirety of the content has to be thrown out because the author’s views on race reflected the time they lived in and not a more progressive, contemporary worldview.

It’s not a museum about the books, it’s her home. There’s nothing in there that would interest a small child anyway.

Can’t wait until people start blaming freedom of expression for this Paris attack too.

Or you could just be honest with yourself and admit you want to do these things.

I do too. I’m also increasingly impatient with Jezebel’s whoring for the wedding industrial complex that they try to disguise as ‘ugh, I hate all this wedding shit but I’m going to do it anyway, here’s my story’. At least own your shit and admit you’ve got basic bitch wedding fever like 80% of women out there, and…

It’s not nice, I agree, however I disagree that she’s making fun of violence against women. Her tweets aren’t mocking the attacks but rather her bizarro account of the whole thing. There is a difference. I mean, I thought it was a little weird too. I wouldn’t tweet about it but I read it and though, well she sounds…

Whaaat? I thought Perrette sounded unhinged in her post about being attacked and I put it down to the trauma but after reading your comment I think she’s just unhinged, period.

Seriously. I get that it was traumatic and all but there were a few sentences in her post that I thought were dumb and overly dramatic, and that was one of them.

But her statement about her gender expression was in relation to her lawsuit against the DOJ regarding their refusal to let her grow her hair. Which I think is bullshit, by the way, and making long hair a security issue is beyond ridiculous. However I also think you can’t separate her statement from the hair issue…

Ahhhh. Thank you. Yes I remember that Kellogg’s asshole.

LOL wut?

Look around the world and at countries with free speech versus countries without and then tell me again how someone’s words make you feel unsafe.

Haha. I’m so glad I’m an old and have no idea what yik yak is outside of what I read about it in other places.

Exactly. Judge away. But own that shit instead of being a passive aggressive bitch. No patience for cowards.

Agree. But people should own their judginess instead of trying to hide it behind pseudo-altruistic passive aggressive bitchiness.
