<title>Big Hollywood : Harry Potter: A Hero For the 'Entitled Generation'</title>
<link>http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2009/07/19/harry-potter-a-hero-for-the-entitled-generation/#IDComment27762962</link>
<description>To me, a life without reading isn&amp;#039;t much a life at all.  Tell me, does posting responses to internet blogs signify having a life?  What does one need do in your mind in order to have a life?  Does it have to be Hemingway (who by the way I find dreadfully dull) to have significance? </description>

<title>Breitbart.com : Man 'cooked' to death in Australian prison van</title>

<description>Both are abominable.  I don&amp;#039;t believe the fact that there are other awful (and perhaps even &amp;quot;far worse&amp;quot; crimes) should really be a factor.   </description>

<title>Breitbart.com : Indian colleges ban jeans to 'protect' girls</title>
<link>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.a263b3b0a90b3db7df0ca33948d697d6.81#IDComment23965025</link>
<description>There are just so many things here that are inaccurate that I don&amp;#039;t know where to begin.  I don&amp;#039;t think you have any idea what Indian culture is like.  Women in India don&amp;#039;t wear belly dancing outfits daily.  I&amp;#039;m pretty sure their teachers would have something to say about it if they showed up in them to class.  And interesting...India is younger than the US?  Curious.  I fear for the things they clearly aren&amp;#039;t teaching you in our schools today... </description>

<description>I don&amp;#039;t think feminism is as you describe it.  Now there are perhaps some people who feel that way, but feminism isn&amp;#039;t about man-hating.  It is about believing woman are intellectual equals and that they deserve to be treated as such.  I refuse to let man-hating extremists hijack the term feminism.  Whatever happened to the saying, &amp;quot;different but equal&amp;quot;?  Just to note, the feminist movement didn&amp;#039;t succeed in &amp;quot;changing that&amp;quot; when it comes to women&amp;#039;s status in everything.  You yourself say you face discrimination at work.  You are doing your best to combat sexism by dealing with it.  But the fact is, that women still make less than men in comparable jobs.  The income gap exists.  And the discrimination is still there.  We don&amp;#039;t have to be the same to be equal and we&amp;#039;re not being treated equally yet. </description>

<description>Again, this really has no bearing on the issue at hand.  Personally I love having boys and girls separated.  I&amp;#039;ve taught in middle schools where classes were separated along sex lines and all of the sudden, class was more productive without the distractions.  That, however, has no relation to this article, that highlights these Uttar Pradesh colleges fail to punish the perpetrators and instead restricts the victims of bad behavior. </description>

<description>No, but boys can look up skirts.  This really isn&amp;#039;t about what girls wear.  It&amp;#039;s about behavior being permitted and victims being punished.  It is ludicrous.  Punish the harassers.   </description>

<description>First let me say, I love school uniforms.  I wore one in catholic school and I don&amp;#039;t have a problem with them.  Some clothes are distracting.  Let us differentiate though, between boys being distracted and ogling, and boys harassing girls.  This article isn&amp;#039;t about ogling; this article is about harassment.  Men are crossing the line between looking and acting and that should never be blamed on a woman.  It doesn&amp;#039;t matter what she&amp;#039;s wearing.  You are still responsible for you actions.  And that is what is so controversial about this article.  It supports the same idea that burquas are to protect women, when really they continue to subjugate them. </description>

<description>It has no bearing on the culture.  In any time or place, it is absurd to restrict women because of the behavior of some men.  This is the same idea behind, &amp;quot;Well she was asking for it.  Look what she was wearing...&amp;quot; as a defense for harassment or even rape.  A woman parading about in a bikini still isn&amp;#039;t asking to be raped.  It is backward thinking in any part of the world.  Instead of restricting women to protect them, perhaps they should actually punish the inappropriate and sometimes criminal behavior.  That would protect women too.   </description>

<title>Breitbart.com : Fire at Maine topless coffee shop was arson</title>
<link>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D98JCF0G0#IDComment23219960</link>
<description>Coffee and toplessness!  Ouch!  It seems like the possibility exists for painful burns.  Seriously, spilling a cold bear on the girls is sticky, but harmless, but hot coffee?  Ouch.   </description>

<title>Breitbart.com : 'Idol' Allen duets with Huckabee</title>
<link>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D98FHSJ80#IDComment22573701</link>
<description>I must admit, the boy is growing on me.  I&amp;#039;ve found his talent slightly lacking to &amp;quot;the boy with the Liza Minelli hairdo,&amp;quot; but damn if he&amp;#039;s not really likable.  And now he&amp;#039;s a Huckabee fan.  That clenched it for me. </description>

<title>Breitbart.com : Providence mayor wants to tax college students</title>
<link>http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D985LMM80#IDComment21417087</link>
<description>This is ludicrous.  I&amp;#039;m sick and tired of politicians finding another group to overtax instead of finding ways to cut spending and be more fiscally responsible.  College students are already paying an arm and a leg and coming out of school to start their adult lives in debt.  They contribute to the local economy as consumers and taxpayers as well.  How do you think the economy of Providence would be doing if it didn&amp;#039;t have these universities there to support businesses?    I for one am ready to say no more.  No more tax increases.  Period.  Cut spending.  Cut your own salaries, since you politicians are so fond of telling the rest of us to buck up and sacrifice a bit more.  Of all the things on which politicians fail to agree, their own salary increases yearly aren&amp;#039;t amongst them.  Trim the fat.  Enough is enough.  </description>

<title>Breitbart.com : Depression top cause for suicides committed in 2008 </title>

<description>I would argue that 100% of suicides are depression related. </description>

<title>Big Hollywood : Lonewolf Diaries: Virginity's for Suckers. Get Your Sex On, Kids!</title>
<link>http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/scrowder/2009/05/12/lonewolf-diaries-virginitys-for-suckers-get-your-sex-on-kids/#IDComment21398161</link>
<description>I never really appreciated the cliche that related me to a cow...not that I don&amp;#039;t agree with the sentiment.  I just don&amp;#039;t like the correlation between &amp;quot;buying&amp;quot; a woman to get her &amp;quot;milk&amp;quot; (or her vagina).    I support Crowder&amp;#039;s thoughts here, but I do take issue with some of the posters.  I would argue in this case, that having a young couple get married so they could have sex probably didn&amp;#039;t lead to happy sex lives later--more likely in divorce.  I also wonder how you made the correlation between pre-marital sex and sexlessness in middle age.  I don&amp;#039;t get it.  And what does natural family planning have to do with the rest?    </description>

<description>My first reaction to your original post was that you were absolutely correct, but it exuded a bit of self-righteousness.  This is better.  It&amp;#039;s nice to have clearly witty, savvy gals around who can be a positive example to little girls. </description>

<title>Big Hollywood : ABC's 'Castle': Exemplary TV</title>
<link>http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/stkarnick/2009/05/13/abcs-castle-is-exemplary-tv-series/#IDComment21391379</link>
<description>I love Castle&amp;#039;s character, but unfortunately, continue to find myself annoyed at Beckett.  To no fault of Katic&amp;#039;s, I find her character to be cliche and her lines poorly written, which is unfortunate, because the premise is good, and Castle himself is hilarious.  I&amp;#039;ll keep an eye on it though.  Perhaps it will settle into better writing as it progresses.  I wouldn&amp;#039;t object to a second season.  It is a bit reminiscent of Remington Steele. </description>

<description>That does it.  I&amp;#039;ve fallen for Steven.  I&amp;#039;ve discovered that I look forward to this weekly blog as much as I do American Idol.  It makes me laugh without fail every week.  Steven, call me. ;) </description>

<description>You&amp;#039;re a troll, but at least you&amp;#039;re a marginally amusing one.  I appreciate that.  For the record, I gave you and Paul the same amount of minuses.  I&amp;#039;m nothing if not fair.  Individualist wins the award for best response to you.  </description>
