I believe gay marriage should be legalized, but that doesn’t mean she has to agree with me.

She should have been judged solely on how well she articulated her point of view. She was clear and respectfully stated her disagreement.

Why is it that in this country freedom of speech is only okay if you LIKE something? This country is TOO concerned with being PC. When you ask someone’s opinion, all you can really ask is that they state it as politely as possible.

Agree to disagree and move on.

I saw this on phillypaper.net and felt the need to post it here.  Some people are scum.

I cannot believe that you stole my middle school basketball team’s uniforms out of my trunk. I mean, I understand that you are a person who steals things out of people’s cars. But wasn’t there a moment, when you started to throw all the mesh jerseys into a bag or whatever, that you thought, “man, this is really about as low as it gets, stealing a bunch of kids’ basketball uniforms”? And did you really decide, “eh, it’s OK”?

Also, what exactly is your plan now that you have these uniforms? You know they say “WCS” on them, right? That stands for “Wissahickon Charter School.” Who are you going to sell them to? What school, church or youth league team is just going to rock “WCS” jerseys?

My little sister wants to be a model. Shame she’s black. On the other hand, she is light-skinned. What’s sad is that that matters. She has a better chance at success than a dark-skinned girl who looks just like her.

“We’re living in a very conformist time where the national ideal is a girl with blond hair, a fake tan, fake boobs and fake lips. It’s a very plastic ideal that dominates our culture. The hot bimbo archetype is what’s screwing everything up for everybody, not just women of color.”

Nick Night has a great silent video starring Naomi Campbell that I saw today…

‘Extreme Makeover’ house faces foreclosure - Yahoo! News

“LAKE CITY, Ga. - More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” team demolish a family’s decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005.
ADVERTISEMENTThree years later, the reality TV show’s most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis.

After the Harper family used the two-story home as collateral for a $450,000 loan, it’s set to go to auction on the steps of the Clayton County Courthouse Aug. 5. The couple did not return phone calls Monday, but told WSB-TV they received the loan for a construction business that failed.”
