I don't get it.

I'm not stupid, really I'm not. I don't get it. The images you posted are unreadable, I have no idea what you're trying to say. For those of us running in half the brain power of you guys could you please just give us the summary?

Strikes me as false.

When I read this letter I get the gut feeling that it's completely made up. Nobody could possibly be this obtuse without some itense rationalization, yet this letter is missing that. It's just a plain "My brother is a loser who is sponging off me, what oh what could I possibly do to remedy this?" Gosh.

I feel it in my gut, I know it from the language, the author of this letter is a liar and just wanted attention.

You're not right for each other.

I experimented with drugs for the first time at the age of 27. I feel fortunate that I waited that long. I had the maturity to enjoy the experience, to learn from it, and to take a lot away from my experimentation. I learned that some drugs are good, some are bad. For the most part I don't have much interest in using them more than once or twice a year on preplanned occasions.

Just because YOU were a total fuck up doesn't mean SHE will be one. Stop projecting YOUR past bad decision making on her. She is not your child either, and you'd be best to let this ADULT make her own choices. As an experienced addict you'll know when she is heading towards the fork in the road between experimentation and addiction. That is when you need to step in and say "Hey, I think you're crossing a line and I'm not going to be coming with you if you do." And if she crosses that line you end the relationship, wish her well, and get on with your life.

OMG, I almost forgot.

Stupid stories like these are why I stopped paying for a subscription to Salon!

Maybe it's how she's holding the phone to her ear.

Okay, this may sound stupid, but when I first got a cell phone I often placed the top edge of the phone in the same place that the top edge of landline phone would've been against my ear. What that meant was that the little tiny pinhole sound comes out of was pressed firmly to ear flesh. I couldn't hear a thing and I thought it was the phone, not me doing something stupid.

Is it possible your wife is doing the same thing? Next time she's using the phone look at how she's positioning it against her ear. That little hold should be right ever the ear canal, not against the flesh at the top of the ear.

I got my copy!

I just bought myself a copy for 10 pounds (about $20.) I meant to pay about $16 for the album, but stupidly forgot the dollar has sunk versus the pound since my list trip abroad a few years ago. For any who care to know, 1 dollar = aprox 2.02 GB pounds these days. You can get a quick conversion by going to Google and typing in "1 dollar in pounds"

I'm looking forward to this release. They are an amazing group and I'm glad they took some time to get the creative juices running again. Let's hope that this album is their best!

... you drove while stoned ...???

You walked to your CAR?! And then you DROVE?! If there's any wonder why your kid was so quiet it was because he feared for his life. All those D.A.R.E classes he took undoubtedly pounded that deep down into his brain.

You failed as a parent in this instance. Letting him see you the smoke the joint, that's forgivable if that is the value set you want him to have. Letting him see you drive a car while stoned, that's unforgivable. He, without a doubt, knew you were stoned. He also knew you were driving while stoned. So, either he thought you were a total asshole for endangering his life, or he adopted driving while stoned as an acceptable value.

That might be the next talk you want to have with him.

Why would anybody hire somebody so clearly incapable of independent thought?

Okay, I understand why you would hire somebody who has religious beliefs to do drone work, but why would anybody risk their entire company by hiring somebody into a leadership position who has such a HUGE flaw in their ability to look at the universe with rational thought?

If they aren't mature enough to face the reality that there is no god they aren't mature enough to do anything but take orders from other smarter people.

San Francisco threw away a party like that once...

San Francisco threw away a party like this one once... It took place on Baker's beach and involved the torching of a wooden man. I wonder what ever happened to those wacky kids...

Is Salon a women's website?

Women Who Think?

Sexiest Man Alive?

Broadsheet (aka, bra-sheet)

Where's the exclusive stuff for men? (I'm gay, so check the attitude before you reply.)

So this guy wants to get ihs dick wet a few more times...

So this guy wants to get his dick wet a few more times before he dies of cancer and you're upset about it? What a selfish woman you are.

What the fuck is wrong with women?

Original article: The dude vote

Hillary's ONLY notable quality for female voters is her vagina.

Not to be rude, but woman after woman that I've spoken to has stated they are voting for Hillary solely because she possesses a vagina. Ok, they didn't say it like that, but that is basically what it boils down to. If there is any real sexism here it is womens libers putting their gender before what's right for the country.

Women are willing to overlook her war votes, and her various other TERRIBLE voting patterns because Hillary happens to be in possession of female genitalia.
