This is pretty stupid. Coming from a celebrity like herself, this shouldn't be taken seriously, hell, If she knew the depths of obesity in which I once dwellt, she'd sacrifice a character trait or two -_-

Re: Are we too quick to cry 'bully?'

Miguel Garcia — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:07:18 -0000

As far as I'm concerned, parents need to start teaching their children to fend for themselves. If they just whine and cry about it, they'll end up reaching their breaking point and shoot up a school or do something radical. Confrontation is a must, regardless of physical intimidation. By that, I mean, hit the weights, improve your word-play, get beaten to a pulp if you must, but the goal is to be the all-around superior person any way you can. Hell, you might befriend that individual. If they won't fight for themselves, no one else will either, regardless of outside intervention or counseling. As far as what defines bullying, I'd say that from personal experience, that's anyone or any group of people who repeatedly go out of their way to try and make you miserable. simple enough, right? It worked for me, haha.

Well...look at that, 8 negative votes in nine months. Nice. And about JK. Whatever floats her boat. If she can make it as a writer, she can be as fat,anorexic,bulimic, or anything under the sun as she wants. I'm on my way to trying to be an artistic dynamo myself and I see the hardships it can cause. Cheers.

This is not a matter of being "smarter", and I want everyone to acknowledge that. These kids aren't gifted, they were simply exposed to so many more opportunities than the average child through their parents. To think of them as being extraordinary would be unfair, its not an evolutionary feat, It's just another case of "My daddy is richer than yours". Remember Adragan de Mello?, that's what this is. Some rich helicopter parent went above and beyond to create a child genius and those kids didn't mind it. Their parents probably made a huge investment in tutoring and pulled strings to have them admitted to such prestigious educational institutions. To be absolutely honest, Tyrone from Chi-town, Shaniqua from Detroit, Jose from Stockton, all of them, any kid could have accomplished the same things. So remember, wealthy Caucasian and foreign born children(typically Asian or Middle Eastern) are already more advantaged than any other American kids. So again, It's not a matter of being "smarter", more than anything, it's a matter of income inequality. And by the way. I tip my hat to Adragan, he's a genius by the worlds standards but still values the simple things in life. Cheers.

I'd be pretty pissed if someone made such a film about any American president, but, lets say Obama went off the fucking walls and decided to run a completely oppressive totalitarian regime like Kim Jong Un. Then. I would not give a single fuck, and would support it as much as possible. North Koreans do not appreciate Kim Jong Un, so don't try to glorify him. Not all politicians are noble...

Not to be an asshole,but I have to admit. You sound farrrrrrrr too pretentious babe. We get it, "I'm a strong independent woman paving a path for my gender, yada yada yada". Good for you. But this article....you're complaining half the way through it. No one likes whiners and that's why women aren't ever taken seriously. You need better advocates than the likes of you. Sorry you were the problem :/

Also. The hastag. My god. Words cannot explain how much of a turnoff that is. Save those for the kiddies.

Jesus, you don't like the article. We get it. Move on, because no one cares about what your expectations were. It is what it is, and you can grow from it or simply "stamp your feet" (article reference) because you didn't get what you wanted. And if you read the article, you'd know that it isn't about equality, It's about entitlement. You seem to know plenty about that.

What?...you are obviously missing the point. Sure, Bush was a fucking idiot on all counts. I get you there. But he was no Kim Jong Un, you imbecile. HE DIDNT FUCKING CONDEMN PEOPLE TO DEATH. And as for the FCC. Wheeler might be a lobbyist, but whatever. You know money makes the world go 'round. He helped make Obama president so he's good with me. The worst he could do is merge the nations top phone service providers. Which I doubt is going to happen. You sound like some inbred conspiracist for god sakes.

Also. Googled Bush and Osama. So funny, XD. So much photoshop and false articles. Nothing solid. Not everything you read on the internet is real pal.

Well, I can't say it isn't a common trend amongst the femenist plight. They come across the wrong way. I want to summarize it like this. "The best kind of revenge is massive success". The male gender has undermined women since the dawn of man, so revenge IS the right word. The author is saying " yes, I'm successful now" then goes onto make you think she is a complete airhead by complaining about the difficulties of carrying two very distinct carer paths. One is predominantly male and professional, the other isn't(models aren't ever taken seriously, be honest). The truth is, you can't have your cake and eat it too. That's life.

Not a bad selection. Pulp Fiction would have been my first, but then again, I'm a dude :P and you forgot the greatest quote of all.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"

Americans voted for everything they have. NSA spying?. Patriot Act, 2004, after the 9/11 scare. GMO's?, you said it yourself. We voted for it. Some countries don't even get to elect government officials. We're some of the most entitled individuals in the world and you can't appreciate that with your socialist mindset, and I pity you.

Look, Gigi, I was taking this article somewhat seriously until you started getting all hyper-liberal. And that sentence: "As I delight every time someone mistakes me for European"(want to be European?, high class?, go ahead and gtfo). You sound like a ridiculous, childish little girl who went abroad and heard something she would've heard right here at home. We're not the greatest nation in the world, there is no such thing.But my god, do you know how difficult it is to gain American citizenship? We are one of the most exclusive destinations on the planet. ITS A FUCKING VIP CLUB. Why do you think other countries despise us? And here you are, slandering America like it's the worst place around. Look at China, North Korea, Mexico, Russia,Africa, most of central america, parts of South America. It's all gone to shit. The EU might have poisoned you with its picturesque social ways, but it's not fun and games there either. Maybe a tourist like you might not have noticed their stagnant economy and the mass unemployment in 2013. I'm sure Ukraine is a ball too. If you like other places so badly, then don't let the doorknob hit you in the ass on the way out. Ciao.

We have freedom, plenty of it. I can do whatever I please right now. We have a pretty great economy, granted, it has its ups and downs, but so do all others. And you don't need to be rich to go to the hospital here either. We have Medicaid.

Then there's all of OUR untouched beauty. Most of it is in the west, and most Americans forget its there. We have HUGE national parks and vacation destinations. Look at Utah, most of the damn state is forest.

We have plenty of that here too New Zealand. Don't get cocky :L

I read the article. It's not completely fair. All Americans acknowledge that to some degree. Policy making has always been influenced by the wealthy, they lobby harder and have more resources to sway the politicians. We've just been lucky enough to have a nation with more kind-hearted idealistic people than there is conservative assholes to dictate things we don't like. The power lies predominantly in the people, and that's all we can ask for.

“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.”

Well, the world is still standing, so I assume you get why. Power isn't bad. I bet it'd be fine for you if New Zealand had the power. I mean, after all, power doesn't corrupt. The fear of losing power does. And America hasn't been threatened since the Cold War, so we're all good on the Western Front.

Jeez...It always goes back to hockey with you guys. Personally, I prefer other contact sports. Wrestling, football(American), bare knuckle boxing, MMA, and a few others. I'd let have that sport all to yourself, but I owe the ladies a proper rebuttal. Women's Olympic hockey has only been around for 5 games( they beat Canada at the very first games, that has got to count for something). There's not enough history there to make any conclusive judgement on their skill.

As for 1812. Don't be such a sore loser now. If they had REALLY won, we'd be a bunch of tea-drinking, scone eating hosers, don't you think?. The white house is just that, a house. It might as well have been a brothel in upstate Maine :/

If you haven't heard America being referred to as the Global Police, you’ve been living under a rock.The American government spent 20% of its budget on defense in 2011. That wasn't for glamour or for having the ability to flaunt the fact that we're the most powerful nation in the world. It's because Canada and the rest of the world doesn't see to give two shits about the human or civil rights abuses going on in the Middle East. We don't "provoke" anything, we put an end to tyranny any way we can. How often does Canada do that? You're all to self-conceited to see past how good you THINK you are. When people in other countries are facing adversity we swoop in to save the goddamn day while Canadians sit there and twiddle their thumbs. Talking only goes so far with the kind of inbreds that inhabit that end of the earth(they expect to have throngs of virgins upon entry to heaven. that's pretty sick pal). We carry the load for you all, and this is the thanks we get. For example. Lets say one day North Korea, China, all the major terrorist organizations, and Russia banded together and overtook the U.S.( More or less, WW3) Who do you think is next? geographically, the closest free country is you, and you'd be done for. If anything, they'd be smart to take you first. Of course, this would never happen. We'd probably opt for a nuclear alternative than traditional warfare.

On the economy,I can't really argue there. I heard that in Canada, bankers are loved. Good for them, really. We despise them, but then again, we're making more money than you are. We have higher per capita GDP(living standard) and a higher nominal GDP. In fact, we beat you pretty handily at that. But regardless, there is poor people everywhere, I'd know plenty about that.The recession that occurred affected most of the world. AMERICAS RECESSION MATTERS TO THE WORLD. When we trip, the world stumbles.If Canada crashed, I don't think it'd be such a big deal. Enough on that.

You struck a chord when you mentioned you were more progressed in culture. America has always led the world in culture. We're nothing, if not the cultural hub of the world. I take pride in that. I really do. We're a powerhouse in all forms of entertainment. TV, Film, music, radio.The new forms of media are conquered by the U.S. Other forms of art aren't appreciated as much and I'm sorry that's the case. I'd be lying if I said Americans were that well cultured, but they are exposed to so much great work that it's impossible not love the U.S for it. But I'd rather not lay claims to something that great....leave that for the entire world to enjoy. Just remember though. People don't look for the American Dream in Canada. (Canadian population: ~35.5 million. American population: ~320 million)

Now, about me. I don't need your suggestions on how I should comport myself. I'll have you know that I am wise beyond my years and have been noted as being so on countless occasions by plenty of people.Would I be able to make such a strong case for my homeland if I weren't?. I might be of Hispanic origin, but you don't get to label me. I am as American as they come, a native mid-westerner with his morals in the right place.The larger side of America didn't have the privilege of going to your hasty pudding "let’s all dress up like girls" school( or the Canadian equivalent), so I don't care much for your sensitivity to harsh language, but in America, we aren't soft, and we let you know when you make outrageous claims like yours. I apologize for YOUR upbringing, I hope it wasn't catholic. Good day sir! >:[
