You guys go and do this awesomely nerdy thing that Slate did.
at quik trip just now i was getting a diet coke
and this girl, about 12 or 13, asked her mom if she could get a slushie. her mom said “do what you want, but you know that all that sugar is going to go straight to your gut.”
the girl looked really sad and so i leaned over to her and said “you know, i think you’re really pretty. i really like your dress.”
so she smiled really big. it was sweet. then she yelled “hey, MOM. this girl is way prettier than you and SHE thinks i’m pretty so i’m gonna get a SLUSHIE.”

Because telling fat people that they are in fact humans that deserve dignity and respect automatically means you’re ~*GLORIFYING OBESITY*~
By the way, don’t dribble on to me saying you worry about a fat person’s ‘health’. That’s just a bullshit excuse to voice your unwanted opinion on a fat person’s body considering you wouldn’t give a single flying fuckadoodle about someone’s health if they were skinny. Besides another person’s health is none of your damned business anyway. Run along now and preach to a choir that actually cares.
I’m going to be honest, so long as you’re not hurting anyone, you can eat soy sauce and milk duds all day long for all I care.
thank you so much for this comic imp.
Everything conservatives say about Benghazi is wrong

But in 2016 we’ll see smear ads whining about how Hillary was investigated for her role the failures of Benghazi security.

Elizabeth Smart and Abstinence Only Education
If anyone is still holding on to the idea that abstinence only education isn’t all that bad, check out this quote from kidnapping and rape victim Elizabeth Smart:
Smart said she “felt so dirty and so filthy” after she was raped by her captor, and she understands why someone wouldn’t run “because of that alone.”
Smart spoke at a Johns Hopkins human trafficking forum, saying she was raised in a religious household and recalled a school teacher who spoke once about abstinence and compared sex to chewing gum. “I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m that chewed up piece of gum, nobody re-chews a piece of gum, you throw it away.’ And that’s how easy it is to feel like you no longer have worth, you no longer have value,” Smart said. “Why would it even be worth screaming out? Why would it even make a difference if you are rescued? Your life still has no value.”
“Why would it even make a difference if you are rescued? Your life still has no value.”
