  • Article obviously written by a heterosexual.

    [Read the article: Gays in the age of Obama]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Another example of a hetero trying to tell us gays how to feel about Obama v Prop 8.

  • You have become a prisoner in your own house

    [Read the article: My 13-year-old niece is out of control]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Talk to your husband about this. If he isn't receptive or seems unfeeling, then leave.

  • He can dish it out but can't take it.

    [Read the article: Sympathy for Charles Graner]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I don't see what he's complaining about. This whole, "I was ordered to..." is such a cop-out. It's very Nazi-ish. He made his bed and needs to lie in it.. with the lights on.

  • You are acting very spoiled.

    [Read the article: I slept with my brother's roommate!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Your brother gave you room and board and just asked you to not sleep with his roommate. You did anyway. Maybe you should ask yourself what is wrong with you. Why is it that you were compelled to do the very act he asked you not to? Stop blaming him. Blame yourself. You can never go back.

  • You were greedy.

    [Read the article: I was fleeced by Madoff]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Now you're paying for it. I have to say I'm not too upset about this Madoff stuff that happened. Gullible + greedy is a dangerous combination.

  • It's sad that you equate your man's worth to his bank account.

    [Read the article: For richer or poorer?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's even sadder that you'll be looking down on him for the rest of his life. He doesn't deserve that.

  • Um. Tell your mom her breath stinks. Duh.

    [Read the article: My mom has halitosis!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Some people have actual problems.

  • Karmic Retribution

    [Read the article: Tale of the secret Army tape]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    This soldier's psychosis and inability to function or receive proper care is just karmic retribution for killing innocent Iraqis. It's the universe's way of evening things out.

  • You are being totally ridiculous.

    [Read the article: American Apparel: No fat chicks]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Go to Lane Bryant or whatever. There aren't places for big guys to get cool clothes, so why get all pissy that American Apparel decided to help them out?

  • I guess killing innocents can cause PTSD.

    [Read the article: "I believe that I did have PTSD"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Who knew?

  • There are people in the world with actual problems

    [Read the article: Will I ever get over this?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You know like food, shelter, clothing, disease, abuse, neglect, etc.

    There are other people in the world besides yourself. Do something good for others and stop being so selfish and whiny.

    He's gone. For good. The end. Get over it.

  • It's been done over 5,000,000,000 times

    [Read the article: Are pregnant women smug?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    There's nothing new or interesting about it.

  • You work in a library. Use it!

    [Read the article: I got canned for being drunk]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Just say you were doing research for a novel you're writing and the research didn't leave you enough time for work. Now you have finished researching the novel and you write in your spare time. You love literature.

    Then write a book on your experiences.

  • I'd embarrass her publicly.

    [Read the article: A vendor sent me a racist cartoon]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    As often as possible.

  • I'm tired of the wealthy thinking they have such terrible problems

    [Read the article: We're both young and rich -- but she throws money away]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Boo hoo! My girlfriend and I have so much money. Boo hoo, my diamond-encrusted wallet doesn't fit in my pants. Boo hoo, one of our summer cabins needs some gardening help.

  • Oh yeah, that's a great message (military)

    [Read the article: Can I help my cousin escape her squalor?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Sure, you may want money for college and to escape your situation. But first you have to put your life on the line for Mainstream America.

    Bah.

  • Tell her it sucks

    [Read the article: My friend wrote a horrible novel]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If she can't handle criticism that's her problem, not yours.

  • On some level you wanted the fight to happen

    [Read the article: I beat up a guy and now I feel guilty]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    So own up to that fact and get on with life.

  • So LW thinks recovery is like being licked by kitties?

    [Read the article: My addiction recovery sponsor is mean]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's hard work, and your sponsor is helping you. He's not there to massage your ego, he's there to be honest and get you through this. If you didn't have a problem you wouldn't be there so let the man do his job. Also your wife needs space too. Let her have it. Sweet Jesus.

  • Tell her or somebody will (maybe even me!!!)

    [Read the article: I'm a former abuser -- should I tell my girlfriend?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's that simple.
