Since you don't get to decide what ruins someone's life, #5 is not hyperbole at all. People commit suicide over rape. People go to therapy for years. I don't even think it covers what some victims face.

"Oh my ggaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwdddd" mom voice sounds like an extra from Faaaaaarrrrr-go.

LaRussa: Oh, come on! Who cares if it was 95 miles per hour?! It was placed in a safe spot.

Depends on her definition of "fight" maybe? Or, like I imagine many trolls to be, he's a spineless dweeb in real life and releases the anger he has no constructive outlets for on internet people he perceives as weak and identity-less. ...which is more or less what he admitted to her. Ugh.

This guy's probably taking out all the fights he's not having with her on the unsuspecting teens of Tumblr.

Yeah I think that's part of the problem. He lets out steam on the net because he can't release IRL. I don't care what people say, but couples who don't fight are suspicious as hell.

In our 9-year relationship, we've fought three times total.

And what's this horseshit about this being an exclusively father son ritual? My 3-year daughter old sits on the garage floor and watches me work on my car all the time. Granted, she's usually calling me Prince Hans and filling me full of imaginary arrows from her official Brave archery set, but still. By the time…

Repressive fundamentalism in any religion is so awful.

Islam is so awful.

Eh, there's nothing groundbreaking or anything but Stewart did at least hit home the point, and if it's been made a lot around here I haven't seen it, that for all the bitching about the NFL's decision nobody actually seems interested in doing anything in response.

It's great to see such a well-loved club get such a well-loved player.

Can you explain the bombing of the kids playing soccer on the beach? Can you explain this? I'm not looking just at the statistics in purely abstract terms. I'm looking at the years-long imprisonment of an ethnically and religiously different population by a much stronger military power, and the dire consequences they…

When people say things like "well both sides are at fault" or "well it's really a complicated situation" they are implicitly supporting the horrific acts of the IDF, they just don't want to come out and say it. That or they are woefully uninformed.

Don't disagree.

This. This. This.

I don't need to read or write a thesis on the issue to know that killing children is wrong and so is an illegal occupation.

It's kind of amazing that we all agree it's "controversial" to express an opinion on a conflict which has 1000 dead on one side and a couple on the other. With the latter doing the killing. Moral clarity — it comes retrospectively. While the butchery is going on, it's just controversial.

While I think this post is probably well-intentioned, the idea that this conflict is "too complicated" for people to understand, or "too sensitive" for anyone but a scholar or middle east journalist to comment is really problematic and part of the silencing tactic on this issue in US. The fact is, as Americans, we are…

Definitely keep on praying for Gaza... it's worked oh-so-well thus far.
