That's not really a cultural thing (the context of LOS' post), but more of a business model thing.

The full Reuters story here: New York lawsuit seeks 'legal personhood' for chimpanzees | Reuters Here's a more in-depth article from the Boston Globe (Should chimpanzees have legal rights?) that gives a lot more detail into the reasoning (and obsession) of personhood for certain animals, the...

Other than Jamaica, The Bahamas, England, Western Europe and a couple of spots in Eastern Europe (before the Wall fell), in the early 90s I visited Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa with a friend who is originally from South Africa. The difference between America and those southern...

Exactly. By making fun of the Tweet and nailing the GOP for it, all they are really doing is announcing to the world their own ignorance of the English language and grammar.

Take a close look at this photo of Morgan Freeman. It's a pretty good photo, except that it's not. It's a finger painting done on an iPad. UK artist Kyle Lambert has created some very impressive digital art using his iPhone and iPad, but this one raises the bar to a whole new level...

Let's keep it real and in perspective, shall we? The quoted numbers above is an attempt to use the exception to the rule to disprove the rule. In 1860 of the 1,515,605 free families in the fifteen slave states, 399,852 held slaves (26.4%). 3,813 of these families where black (0.95%), 396,039...

Pagliai's (polly eyes) Yeah, many times. It's kind of a hangout, especially if you have kids (or nieces and nephews). They have a monster play park in there and a game room for the kids. They used to be really small, but over the years they've taken over the storefronts next door and expanded...

LaRosa's Pizza is hard to beat. It's pretty awesome. For a long time I thought it was just because I grew up on the stuff and then moved away and didn't have any for a long time, but then having some after 20 years, it was just as awesome as my memory thought it was. The only pizza that I've had...

Papa Johns uses real, 100% Mozzarella cheese made from high quality skim milk, and 100% aged Wisconsin cheeses, including Parmesan, Romano, Asiago, Provolone and Fontina. It's the same exact cheese you can buy in a grocery store or a farmer's market. That doesn't mean that it's not artery...

Yeah, "we" as in many of our dead ancestors treated blacks really badly. And blacks still are largely at a disadvantage on a very unlevel playing field. But "we" weren't one hundred percent all of us nasty and mean, so how do you get to decide who is actually responsible? And not all blacks were...

Read this. You'll never post a picture of yourself to the Internet, especially Facebook, again. The OP link talks about what the police and the government can do, but this piece should be the wakeup call, because any yahoo with off-the-shelf software can do the same thing. How to Beat Facial...

In the style of a Ken Burns documentary. Jennifer Lawrence, Martha Stewart, Vince Vaughn, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Jonah Hill all share some of Ford's best moments, as if they were the surviving Presidents reading the Gettysburg address, complete with the green screened Presidential library...

Even from a grammar standpoint, the Tweet didn't imply that racism is over. It's used "ending" which is an indefinite ongoing process (the bring to, or coming to a close, but not there yet). If it had said "her role that ended racism" it would imply that racism is already over.

Use the logic, Luke. If you take away guns, people will kill people using other things. When you take away the other things, it isn't long before we have no things.

Actually, you just modified your statement. Which is it? More guns = more GUN deaths, or more guns = more deaths. They are very different statements, and while one is true, the other is not. It is true that more guns mean more gun deaths, but the same thing is true with any other object that...

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that the may have died from Bird Flu or some other disease. A bird pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief...

At the risk of being characterized as making a negative comment, you are not going to find a company that will take on a 13 or 14 year old cargo van. Statistics show that cargo vans older than about five years have more frequent breakdowns and are thus less reliable for hauling freight. There...
