Comment preview: Yeah, and then saying "I told you so" about Obama, when in fact they never did say anything relevant to what we're upset about is also a new level of "not getting it." Just because they didn't like Obama and now a lot of people are angry about something h ....

Comment preview: Man, I've told so many big, audacious lies that it's hard to say which was the biggest. But here's the one that immediately comes to mind... When I was in 10th grade (circa 1968) I was a bit of a troublemaker and known to the school administration. One d ....

Comment preview: He isn't wrong you're misunderstanding what he's saying. He's saying that that the "company holds down the little guy" was a story that WWE told so well over the past two decades that it conditioned us as fans to automatically react at a visceral, gut le ....

Comment preview: A guy at my work devoted a lot of time to sexually harassing me. One day, he got agressive and started shoving me pretending like he was joking. I told him to stop and that it hurt. He laughed and kept shoving me. I told him if he ever touched me again I'd ....

Comment preview: I had a teacher in highschool that was absolutely crazy. She once went on a rant about 9/11. She said "I knew it! I told him it would happen." Of course we ask who. "Bush! I told him. They will be attack. I call him up and say to be careful. They will atta ....

Comment preview: It seems America is built on the "Ah-ha, told you so" type society. It seems like one person sees a fault, or a potential fault, and when they bring it up, everyone dismisses it that they're not a true patriot or whatnot, then later on it happens and all t ....

Comment preview: The only shame here is staying with someone who becomes violent when you assert your right to have control over your body. I know TwoX sometimes jumps on the "dump him!" wagon without any thought to trying to work it out. But in this case I truly feel that ....

Comment preview: Thank you! It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of situation that we get because of the way girls tend to be socialized. In addition to that, girls are subtly and unsubtly told through various and sundry means that we need to alter our looks ....

Comment preview: From what I understand, Turnitin.com always reports back some amount of plagiarism. It picks up on very common phrases and wordings, so I'm told, so most professors ignore X% of plagiarism. For example, I took a science course where the professor had us wr ....

Comment preview: Jaime told him about Tysha (his first wife) not being a whore. That he went along with the lie with his father. So he realized he had watched his father's entire guard rape his wife who was nothing more than a common maiden before he met her, and not a who ....

Comment preview: Also, from *The Fellowship of the Ring*, A Long-Expected Party, near the end of the chapter (emphasis mine): "[Gandalf] 'Do be careful of that ring, Frodo! In fact, it is partly about that that I have come to say a last word.' 'Well, what about it?' 'What ....

Comment preview: I gave a talk about Iraq to a bunch of 3rd graders a few years ago... I'd just been back home less than 6 months. It was a private school and the kids were all well behaved. I bought a bunch of candy and when the kids would ask a question I'd give them a p ....

Comment preview: It was seriously as simple as a 7 year itch and another man giving her attention she didn't feel her husband gave her. I spent months telling her to be more communicative of her feelings of malaise because I knew how much he loved her and his main problem ....

Comment preview: Back in high school, I had a HUGE crush on this one girl. Let's call her Jessica. I also had an ex that I had broken up with about a week before the incident. Let's call her Ashley. Well, me and Ashley were still pretty good friends and a couple people tol ....

Comment preview: Oh, psychology... It is not so much a matter of brightness, but a matter of authority. After WWII when the Nazis were being charged for war crimes, heads of the military and soldiers were asked why they did the things they did. A lot of the people said it ....

Comment preview: I was eight. Woke up with a tummy ache and told my mum that I couldn't go to school that day. She gave me a I-know-you're-lying-to-me-child look and said something to the effect of, "I don't think so..." I refused to get out of bed, and she reluctantly let ....

Comment preview: This shit. Fucking wow. Like Im reading into a mirror if that makes sense. I was found twice, by my mom, on the brink of death because of ODs. Which makes the amount of times ive landed in the ICU because of drugs to 3. I ran into the cop who responded to ....

Comment preview: Not as much as a revenge as a FUCK YEAH or AAAAAAW YEAH moment. When I was growing up, I got a little sister (6 y/o younger) and a little brother (10 y/o) younger. I started doing chores around the house at around 9. Nothing big at first, setting up the ta ....

Comment preview: I told my (ex) boyfriend that the reason his car was shaking and making an awful noise was because he needed his wheels balanced. He told me over and over again "that's not it, there must be a dent in the rim, the axle must be cracked, it's going to cost m ....

Comment preview: It's a very gradual change. They start out as very charming people. Maybe after a year the first weird remarks come out during an argument. You blame it on a bad day and it takes a few months until a next arguments. You've kind of forgotten about the previ ....

Comment preview: 99% sure I just bought fake eggs for the first time yesterday. Living in China and my wife has always told me about fake eggs. I had always told her she is being paranoid and it isn't cost efficient to do that. Until last night... I bought a case of 15 eg ....

Comment preview: This kind of clicked something in me. I get this a lot from my mother. I also used to work in IT so I got a lot of it there too. But my mother thinks that I can fix ANYTHING computer or car related instantaneously. Last weekend she was powerwashing. So she ....

Comment preview: I've got a good story about embarrassment... This was on a dissertation defense, for a masters. **Professor**: Why did you use xx analysis on part Y of the paper? **Student**: Oh, for the analysis I consulted with [famous stats professor]. Now, for those n ....

Comment preview: A few years ago my SO and i were nearly forced into a shotgun wedding. See, my family is the kind of conservative/Christian family you love to hate. They're just awful. When it came to light that I was pregnant, the FIRST thing they did after telling me I' ....

Comment preview: I was in my first year of primary school and my parents were driving me to school early in the morning. I was still sleepy and looking out the window when I saw a kangaroo hopping by on the pavement. It's not an every day sight in the middle of a city in E ....
