Ms. Snarker Regrets: Kiss this, Southwest →
dorothy-snarker:
What is most frustrating about this, besides the obvious inequality and homophobia, is that every gay person already has an internal monitor that she or he uses to regulate public behavior. It’s mostly subconscious, often just instinctual. But it has been ingrained in us from the moment we…

How To Always Be Unhappy →
Be a complete and total narcissist. Never stop outside of yourself to look at things through another point of view. Never meet people halfway. Ask if they can always meet you on the corner of Me Me Me street and I Am Limited Avenue. Maybe it’s because you’re lazy and don’t care enough about someone to switch your way of thinking. Or maybe it’s because you’re genuinely incapable of doing so....

Conversation overheard at Gamestop
Mom: It's rated M, I just wanted to see how bad the sex is in the game.
Cashier: Well it's one of the more violent games out right now. Like chainsawing people in half and watching them get ripped apart on screen.
Mom: But no sex, right? No kissing or anything? Any language?
Cashier: No, no sex, and the language isn't anything worse than the s-word.
Mom: Okay, because it's for my five year old so I just wanted to make sure. That's fine then.
I DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS COUNTRY. Chainsawing people in half is fucking fine, but God forbid he should hear a dirty word or see people kiss.
I really need to understand the logic behind "Watch all the death, but no depictions of love allowed."

A message to all Black Women [from an Asian dude]: Don’t change a thing. No matter how full, or curly. It doesn’t matter if the world prefers you light, dark, or darker. Forget what any magazine tells you. Black isn’t beautiful, it’s fucking gorgeous.

Michele Bachmann: U.S. Immigration ‘Worked Very,... →
Latest batshit-crazy to come of of Bachmann’s mouth? Here ya go:
“The immigration system in the United States worked very, very well up until the mid-1960s when liberal members of Congress changed the immigration laws. What works is to have people come into the United States with a little bit of money in their pocket, legally, with sponsors so that if anything happens to them...
