I find tea party postings light years more offensive than I do this.

That reminds me of the time the wife of one of my hs teachers lost a baby due to a miscarriage and for some unknown reason my friend and I decided to bring him a box of donuts to show our sorrow. The kicker was that on the drive to school my friend got hungry and ate one of them so it was a dozen minus one. I think…

"You think that because she wore that it is her fault there were photos taken. Apparently you put absolutely no responsibility on the person who took the photograph and then shared it with the world."

You are missing the point. First, I know how to disagree with someone without insulting them. Second, I've said repeatedly that she can wear whatever she likes. But to go onstage without pants and throw your legs up over speakers and such and then wonder why people can see your crotch is disingenuous. Please tell…

I'm judgmental because I think that someone who doesn't wear pants or a skirt shouldn't be surprised that someone can see their underwear? You either haven't seen the photo or you are trying to pick a fight. What did I say that was judgmental? Saying that someone is not wearing a skirt when they are, indeed, not…

That book is The Enormous Egg, and sadly its out of print. It was a great book, I read it a million times as a kid and wish I had it to share with my kids. So psyched that the Goldblum knows that book!

You should see it. I thought the same thing before I saw it, and to be honest, I don't even think the tampon string was the most embarrassing part of the ensemble. And if I was just a random person I wouldn't guess that she was underage, either. I agree that the whole thing is sordid, I just don't think that "some…

She wasn't wearing a skirt. She was wearing a camisole type top with underwear. No pants or bottoms of any kind. If you are wearing that, especially onstage, you either need to worry about what is showing, or you are TRYING to show something. My guess it really the latter. WTF is so hard to understand about that?…

She wasn't wearing a skirt. She was wearing a shirt and underwear. The shirt did not cover the underwear. She was onstage where hundreds/thousands of people could view her. Have you seen the pic? I was outraged too until I saw it. It's hard to see how someone could view or photograph her without seeing her…

Sorry, have you seen the pic? It's clear that you didn't need to put a camera under anything to see it. If she is standing on stage in front of you, you would have seen it. She wasn't wearing a skirt. She was wearing underwear and a corset type shirt. I think people are scummy for printing it, but it wasn't an…

Actually, she isn't even wearing a skirt, so I'm not sure how it could be an upskirt photo. If you wear a shirt and underwear, it's hard to avoid people seeing your crotch.

Based on the outfit she chose I think she was trying to be edgy. Tampon string or not, the crotch of her underwear and her ass cheeks were clearly visible. This does not seem like an upskirt photo, as she describes it. It seems like a regular photo, she just happened to not be wearing a skirt.

It's too short if the goal is to not see her underwear/tampon string. That's a fact, not a judgment.

While I agree with your points, after having seen the picture, I think that a huge part of the responsibility lies with whomever manages/hired her/ran the concert, since it's pretty obvious that anyone in attendance at the concert was able to see the exact same thing shown in the pictures. They sexualized her for…

I'm wondering if they make wedding cakes for second marriages. Isn't divorce supposed to be a major sin, too?

Oh they all say that! It's very common, actually. They don't hate the "person" they hate the "sin," blah blah blah, as if you can separate people apart like that. They seem to also not really understand that believing that others don't deserve the same rights as you do is considered "hateful" to many people. This…

That's kind of like saying why would a black person want to sit at an all white counter and order food where they aren't wanted. Rights are rights, whether you exercise them or not.

For the love of God, how is making a cake the "expression of any specific idea?" on the part of the BAKER? So when they make a birthday cake, they really have to feel it in their soul that they want little Jimmy to have a happy birthday? Who gives a shit about their ideas. And as far as the silencing dissent…

Extra points for use of the word "strumpets!" Such a great word, and not used nearly enough. I'm going to make an effort to work it into conversation on a daily basis, at the very least.

Yep. This afternoon on a conservative radio show they were talking about this exact story, and it was the usual, "Oh, see, this is what happens! I guess now I can marry my car! I guess now I can marry my cat!" etc. etc. The liberals are ruining America! Funny how it turns out that this story didn't even happen in the…
