NVKLHBOIF that poor guy XDDD
I couldn’t help but chuckle at this.
If the roles were reversed nobody would be laughing.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Apparently, this isn’t her first time doing something like this, either.
And does anyone else find it interesting that it says that she “demanded too much sex”? If it had been a male nympho and a female victim, anyone else think it would have been worded differently?
Here’s an example from the same site. Oh, the hypocrisy.
What’s even more disgusting is the comments. “He’s a pansy.” “Oh, I wish this could happen to me.” “Where’s her contact information?” “MAN UP!”
If a woman’s raped, it’s an atrocity. If a man’s raped, it’s a punchline - and it’s not even worth labeling “rape,” even though it is.
And for all the people out there who want to criticize like “Why do you need two bedrooms?” or “Get a better job if you want luxuries.”
1. You’re being deliberately horrible to other people. Stop.
2. If you are a parent, you probably need a couple of bedrooms so you and your children have a place to sleep. Or maybe you aren’t a parent, you’re living with a partner or a friend or a relative who is unable to work. Same thing, you need space to sleep and call your own. Not cramming everyone into one bedroom or making someone take the couch every night isn’t really a luxury.
3. The whole idea of the minimum wage when it was first implemented was that it would be enough to support a family on one person’s wages. Food, shelter, medicine, et cetera. And now, one person’s wages can’t even cover housing for the family *anywhere in the country* let alone food or medicine or anything else.
This isn’t trivial — this means tons of people are homeless and hungry and sick. This means that they labor as long and as hard (or usually longer and harder) as everyone else and they still can’t afford a warm place for their family to sleep.
I don’t think it is at all a stretch to say that people working for minimum wage are being robbed, and that that robbery has real and violent effects on laborers and their loved ones.

What?
fuck all of you idiots.
"Genocide"
You don’t know the meaning of the word, sweetheart.
There is an issue but its not fucking genocide, like wow, overdramatic much?
And RIP to all the Native Americans who are completely forgotten and have their genocide glamorized and covered up by this holiday

Got called cutie today by some random cyclist. At first I thought he was referring to Neo (my dog) but nah he said “I was talking to you but your dog is adorable” (legs be paler because I had to put sunscreen on them obviously I don’t rub it in enough but fuck it. My sunscreen is blue and awesome and I get to draw the thieves guild symbol on me!)
OH and soon it should start showing that I am losing weight yay
Wow so a man sexually harasses you and you like it.. Tell me again how you are asexual?
But I bet he was referring to your body as your outfit does show your …figure… off well not that there is anything wrong with that but you were sexually harassed.
Since when does ‘cute’ have a sexual connotation? At all?
-Number 2
Oh my god. If saying a girl is cute is sexual harassment Man am I fucked..... I tell my girlfriends all the time that they're hot, they're beautiful, they look good. I stop strangers on campus to tell them that. But wait. It's okay because I'm a girl right? Can I leer at the hot guy who walks past me in the central building? I bet no one will get angry at me for that. Seriously get your head out of your fucking ass, at least there are people who are kind enough to go out of their way when they see someone appealing. How dare you try to tell tell people that putting a wee bit of effort into brightening up someone's day is wrong.
It’s become apparent over 2014 that we are at the beginning of a social and political revolution.
We are fighting for equality, acceptance, the right to be who we are. We are fighting for our civil liberties.
In a time when we should be rejoicing together with the shared spirit of the human experience, we are at odds.
Do not let the decisions of today effect your tomorrow. Fight for a different outcome. Do not lose hope.
We will have peace one day.
The way I see it, we have two options for a future. Something as portrayed in fiction like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or the T.V. show Continuum, where democracy is a sham at best and at worst, the corporations rule everything (and don't even get me started on Newspeak, or the mind-numbing technology of 451) Or the future as portrayed by Star Trek: a world where there is no money, and we truly are a global community. I wish I could get a message to billions of people describing hpw terrified I am that we are headed for the former described worlds.... but I cannot, and the rich are going to keep getting richer, while the middle class shrinks and the poor remain essentially slaves. There are literally people in this nation who don't know who won the civil war. There are people in this world who think it's a good idea to credit Moses as a founding father despite the fact that there are literally quotes from founding fathers that say "the united states was in no way formed on Judeo-Christian principles" There are people who deny scientific fact and substitute their own beliefs because it makes the world more convenient for them. Hope? I have none. I am filled with disgust.

The 'peaceful' protesters in Ferguson right now
There was a wall mart burned down, they sacked the liquor store that Brown apparently robbed, there was a lot of violence. The KKK was celebrating the result of the trial, anonymous is getting involved in it, the protestors are getting pepper sprayed... ---- Later: Lots of gunfire, non of which came from police, cop cars were burned, and 12 businesses were burned, most of which were small businesses started by residents. Someone died from a gunshot, as well. The looting was done by outsiders taking advantage of the situation, however, the fires were started by protesters. They were given a chance to protest peacefully and made the choice to switch the focus from the murder of an unarmed teenager to their own violence.
its almost like banning words and things is a stupid idea am i right ladies
Dear God the next generation is fucked…

And then when Reagan does run for president in 1980, the secret weapon in his quiver ideologically is supply-side economics which basically breaks the back of one of the most powerful appeals that the Democrats have traditionally had, which is taxing the rich and spending the money on the middle class. Which terrified Republicans because, they said, no one shoots Santa Claus. Right? But supply-side economics says: we can inject prosperity into the economy by cutting taxes and… They become Santa Claus. And it’s absolutely brilliant. Just as Democrats themselves are abandoning Keynesianism because, of course, Jimmy Carter’s first act as president is canceling all these Keynesian water projects all over the country.

Basically it is stated that if you cut taxes for the richest americans, they will have more -- more money to spend and invest. And as they spend and invest, the effect of their spending trickles down to everyone else in the economy. A rising tide lifts all boats, right?
Well between 1980 and 1990 the top 1% saw their earnings rise by 80% while the bottom 90% saw an increase of a whole 3% The bottom fifth of the country, fifty million people, saw an income decrease of 4.4%
Here's the fatal flaw: let's say it's Christmas 1989. The upper class has an incredible amount of money to spend compared to ten years ago. Where do these people go? They go to five-star hotels, restaurants, and luxury stores. At the same time, the lower class has even less money to spend than they did ten years ago. So they do not go out and spend this holiday season, and subsequently they don't support the stores in their local area owned by middle class. And you know the wealthy aren't going to go to the furniture store that is owned by the middle class working man. They're going to go to the luxury store owned by the big corporation that got tax cuts!
Reganomics has never, ever benefitted the majority, and NOTHING has ever trickled-down.

A black teenager could have a 200 IQ and find the cure for cancer and white people will still say affirmative action is the reason why they got into college
A white kid could have a 200 IQ and discover the cure for cancer and people will say his alumni daddy is the reason he got into college.
A white person will see a post having nothing to do with them and still find a way to include themselves
Except the first post talked about white people. Fuck you
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by noted Christian Socialist, Francis Bellamy in 1892 for a children’s magazine’s promotion of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ sail “across the ocean blue.” School children recited the pledge while making the “Bellamy salute” which was an homage to an ancient Rome gesture of raising an arm in front of you with a flat palm with fingers closed. Later the Nazis and their fellow fascists adopted the salute and now it’s universally recognized as how you heil Hitler.
It wasn’t until the middle of WWII that Congress adopted it as the pledge, later dropping the Bellamy salute and opting for a right hand over the heart. Then it wasn’t until the Cold War that “under god” was added because our enemies were godless commies.
So the Pledge is a jingoistic chant created by a children’s publication to celebrate an explorer turned brutal torture-happy tyrant with a Hitler salute. It’s not the best tradition we have in this country.
