You do realize that conflating conspiracy theorists/alien believers with local social justice activists makes YOU look like the crazy person, right? Honestly, your post is barely coherent and more closely resembles the ramblings of a tinfoil hat-wearer than anything I've heard come out of NSPIRG and the like. For once, I agree with Montrealman, which is mildly terrifying, but clearly points to just how absurd your perspective is.
Although I totally don't think it warrants calling a someone a lazy bitch, I can kind of see why OP would be annoyed that her friend didn't wear a costume. I think as the host of a party, you have the right to make certain rules or requests of your guests. IMO, her friend's behaviour is really no different than showing up at a formal affair in jeans and a t-shirt, or showing up at a potluck empty handed. It's a bit tacky and disrespectful.
However, in the future, I would suggest OP employ my solution. Anyone who shows up at my party without a costume gets a costume chosen for them out of the tickle trunk. Those who don't like having their outfits chosen by a bunch of giggling drunks quickly learn to dress appropriately the next time.
There's probably a lot of things that you don't know about residential schools, yorkke. There's been a concerted effort to ensure that the Canadian populace remains completely ignorant about the atrocities that were perpetrated against Aboriginal peoples.
Thank you, Tim, for helping to bring these issues into public view. We as Canadians need to face the truth.
Please. Prince is a muthafucking legend. He's made oodles of new music in the last decade, for those who've been paying attention, and his old stuff still stands the test of time. If you're not a fan, that's fine and no one's forcing you to buy a ticket, but for those of us who are, this is pretty damn exciting. Why be a hater?
There are approx. 30,000 Afghan immigrants in this country. The majority of them haven't killed their wives or daughters, nor probably ever will. Violence against women and girls is hardly a culturally specific problem.
The media loves to bring out the hysterical xenophobes with a good "honour killing" story. Lots of Western men use fucked up misogynistic attitudes to justify killing Western women too, but you'll never see some sensational headline like "Man Kills Wife Because of Rampant Misogyny and Western Patriarchal Culture". Certain Eastern European countries condone honour killings as well but, chances are, if a white European immigrant killed his wife and daughters, we'd probably just chalk it up to the fact that he was a misogynistic psycho and leave it at that.
