#8477 To #8451 I'm not black and I never say the n word but just because you're black doesn't make it's okay to say it. If it's okay for blacks to say the word, then why wouldn't it be okay for people of other races to say it? That'd just be racist. And also, a black person that says the n word just makes him/herself look like an ignorant fool.

#8476 It's interesting how in society when a girl shares that she's expecting, most people congratulate her and go on and on how it's great, then in private the gossip doesn't stop about how much of a "slut" she is, how she will be a bad mother, etc. This also brings up how parents can't win if they get an abortion (they murdered the child,) they give it up for adoption (they bailed out and are lazy,) or if they keep the child.

#8475 To #8451 about the "n word" confession: Don't complain about other people using that word. Black people don't "own" words, no race does, nor are they entitled to only using it to "affectionately" talk and respect amongst their peers. Seriously, you ever hear people use that word, "Please, nigger, pass the salt?" No. And with cultures, everyone of a different race/ethnicity can embrace, be brought up with, or appreciate a culture so don't bring up that crap. When black people or anyone else wants to use that word and sound ignorant amongst their peers, they can go for it, same with Hispanics (even if it's a "lesser degree" to you,) whites, Asians, etc.) There are plenty of others who agree with me out there on this.

#8474 I'm afraid to get braces because I like a guy and I want to make out....then again the longer I wait, the grosser my teeth will get. #fwp

#8473 I don't like batman. As a guy who's actually kind of into superheroes, I feel that the idea behind the character is pretty ridiculous. Being a "superhero", with no powers, dressing up as a bat, is at the very least strange. Plus he's a freaking billionaire. Assuming he actually does have a greater understanding of virtue than anyone else (which would be the rationale for becoming a vigilante), he'd definitely be more than capable of using his wealth to promote a more empowered populous and efficient police force in order to deter crime and address the underlying environmental issues that push your average criminal into a life of hustling.

#8472 I feel bad for this person. He posts the most rude comments with pure malice. Something awful must have happened to this person who impersonates the admins and has a fake fb account behind which he hides and spews his filth. Please work on your issues sir or madam.

#8471 Warning: rant with grammar issues.
I find it interesting that people have to comment on every government issue. Yes, it is your right to do so as our 1st amendment clearly states...but, is it necessary to comment about EVERYTHING? No. If you are not physically being affected then keep it to yourself. One theme that normally rears it's ugly head is immigration. Every "American" has a view. Notice I used quotations because even though you were born in America you aren't "American". As an American you should understand that those who live here came from other countries and those make up what we call Americans today! It grinds my gears to see my generation so worked up about topics that do not affect them in any which way. You might say immigration is affecting you, you say they are taking your jobs, not paying taxes. Well, honey boo boo child; you probably wouldn't get that job in the first place because you believe you deserve that job or you acted like a pompous idiot during the interview process or better yet; didn't even apply for the job! Golly Jee! Who would have thunk it!? If your family isn't being personally affected keep it to yourself. Many immigrant families are and their voice is being drowned out by your long screams trying to deport everyone and their grandma(literally). You know who is affected that immigrants family when they do get deported and their wife and kids are left. As Americans go find your own 'American Dream' and stop trying to impede others from theirs.
