I don't understand what her beauty or lack thereof has to do with **** anything. I don't look at her and think about whether she's beautiful or not, I look at her and see a sick little girl. Why do her looks even matter? Are we supposed to feel more sorry for a beautiful sick little girl than an ugly sick little girl?
Until I just read the name of the disease again, I couldn't remember it. And you know why? Because this whole awareness thing has been nothing but an anti-meme with people only arguing about whether she's pretty or not. The main **** point when all this started was to get people aware of the disease, but that hasn't been even remotely the focus for some time.
I know a lot of people truly care for this girl, but telling her she's pretty isn't going to do a damn thing to help her. For **'s sake, she's a sick child. Let that sink in for you. She's five years old and her life is near half way over. She might, maybe, just live to be 20. You think she gives a ** how she looks?
If you truly care, do something for her cause. Otherwise, just shut the **** up, because it doesn't make you a better person to pretend, it makes you worse.

No, they're pro-choice. A woman should have the option to decide whether or not she wants the baby that she got pregnant with. That isn't your choice, not the government's choice, not the Church's choice. It's hers. And I support her (and mine, possibly, in the future) choice to either get or not get an abortion. Actually, pro-lifers should call themselves anti-choice. They aren't pro-life if they're willing to allow a child to be born in a circumstance where it isn't wanted and can't be cared for properly. What kind of life is that?

Girls need to stop bitching so much about all of their female "problems" and acting like their lives are so much harder than a guy's. There are pros and cons to each gender, amirite?
529 Comments +128 / 86%
While this is true, I do think overall guys have it easier (even if only a little).
My boyfriend agrees. (He grew up with 3 sisters and 2 brothers, was a psych major and is a literal genius so give him some credit.)
Social stigma is the main reason. Double standards, sexual oppression, and harsh physical criticism fall heavily on females. I'm not suggesting at all that men don't deal with these things, they do...in large amounts as well...but females receive a little more. It's gotten to a point in society that some people actually get angry when a starlet isn't up to their standards. We expect women to do certain things to maintain beauty, and when she can't or won't some people actually get offended.
If you don't believe me or can't recall a scenario, look at Gabrielle Douglas, (From the Olympics - U.S. Women's olympic team) when her hair wasn't good enough for some people she received harsh criticism, some people even suggested she had no pride/respect for herself because of the condition of her ** hair. Nevermind she's an Olympian, kicking and winning medals, no let's just worry about how her ** hair looks. The standards for women are outrageous.

Not at all. There are maaaany valuable lessons to learn from the bible, you should actually research things instead of ignorantly citing a quote with your biased assumptions to fuel your own personal agenda, with no real facts or information.

Everything you just said is the greatest bundle of irony and hypocritical behavior I've ever seen.
When I researched and found PROOF that bible clearly states slavery is both okay AND that human beings can be OWNED you deliberately skirted around the issue.
You are citing quotes with your religious assumptions and fueling your own personal agenda.
You say knowledge is power but ignore and deflect anything that criticizes your beliefs, you aren't learning or growing. You're shoving your opinion on everyone else and then acting like you don't have to listen to anyone.

A woman's "uncleanness" during her period was symbolic of the value placed on blood. As a result, contact with a woman who was having her period was forbidden.
Christians today are not under the Old Testament ceremonial law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24-26; Ephesians 2:15). There no longer is a sacrificial system. Jesus' blood sacrifice paid the penalty for sins once and for all. The Levitical ceremonial laws do not apply today.

It's a fact, for example see above where someone says the bible condoned slavery. Technically, yes, but slavery during that time was considered a different kind of thing than the slavery in the past couple centuries, for example against African Americans. It was a voluntary social status. The bible even goes so far as to condemn race based, forced, slavery.

Then I'm also forced to point out most things like this taken from the bible, are taken out of context or quoted to misconstrue the meaning, because people are looking for bad things to find.
Physical discipline is not abuse, as for your spouse reference, that's in the OT, and in the OT people were stoned to death and killed for all sorts of reasons. It was a harsh lesson that the penalty for all sin is death, thus the point of Christ taking that upon himself. It was not a lesson that we should kill unfaithful spouses, it was bigger than that, and now that Christ has taken upon himself all sin so that we may receive mercy for our sins, it is not acceptable to murder and we does not call for our murder for those things previous things.

I don't mean to intervene, but I find it very annoying when someone says, "oh, but that part of the Bible is often misinterpreted." The majority of the time where contradiction is found, that's the excuse. I just wanted to put that out there.
Not to say the Bible doesn't have any good things in it, but I'd rather take advice from a more modern book on how to live my life.

You're really stupid. Voluntary slavery is fine, and that's what it talked about. Forcing someone into slavery it said was punishable by death.
By your logic, any minimum wage job someone picks up because that have to, to make ends meet is slavery. It was just a word for something people did for money, and it was their choice. Way to damage control on that one.

slav·er·y/ˈslāvərē/
Noun:
The state of being a slave.
The practice or system of owning slaves.
That part right there "owning slaves."
Owning slaves. Owning people. Owning people like property. Do you need a biblical quote?
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Hmm, hello common misconception, how are you today.
What many fail to understand is that slavery in biblical times was very different from the slavery that was practiced in the past few centuries in many parts of the world. The slavery in the Bible was not based exclusively on race. People were not enslaved because of their nationality or the color of their skin. In Bible times, slavery was more a matter of social status. People sold themselves as slaves when they could not pay their debts or provide for their families. In New Testament times, sometimes doctors, lawyers, and even politicians were slaves of someone else. Some people actually chose to be slaves so as to have all their needs provided for by their masters.
The Bible most definitely does condemn race-based slavery. (Exodus 13:14)
In addition, both the Old and New Testaments condemn the practice of “man-stealing” which is what happened in Africa in the 19th century. Africans were rounded up by slave-hunters, who sold them to slave-traders, who brought them to the New World to work on plantations and farms. Exodus 21:16

I don't understand how you can suggest those who don't get their morals straight from the bible are immoral when you yourself are denying things in the bible.
People aren't "taking things out of context" or "quoting to misconstrue meaning" or "looking for bad things."
That is a cheap cop out. The bible says point blank that owning slaves is okay, that raped women must marry their attacker, that disobedient children should be killed.
If you're allowed to pick and choose out of the bible what to follow, you are not using the bible as a say-all for your own moral compass either. You are just backing up what you personally believe with the bible.
If you say slavery isn't okay, when the bible is clear about it being okay, you have found from within yourself that you don't agree with slavery.
That's exactly what non-religious people do, the only difference is you have a book to back you up it's when convenient and deny the book when it's not.

Apparently, it was originally around so candidates would campaign everywhere, not just in states with large populations.
Now, the people who get **** over are in heavily liberal or conservative states, which sucks just as much. I've lived in Illinois (albeit before I was of voting age) which is a hardcore blue state, and now live in Utah, where I am registered to vote.
