This trailer was still far too nice to the film. Christ, what a horrible movie.

So many of these numbers are intentionally misrepresented. If you want to support a cause, don’t falsify and misinterpret data. That makes you no better than the crazies running for the republican nomination.
Christina Hendricks - Doesn’t hold her weight nearly as well and looks terrible when she doesn’t have an outfit holding it all in, but gets hailed as a “real woman” and a “true model of beauty”. Nicki Minaj - Still a thick girl, but holds the extra weight extremely well and has nice curves without having to cram into corset-like outfits, but gets called fat and spammed with “ew” and “trashy” tags. Nice double standards.
Oh no! Someone has an opinion different from the hivemind! They must be trolling! Go fuck yourself. Bitch is ugly as shit.
By your logic, no one should be happy for anything they have because someone else has it worse. It’d be like me finally buying a house and happily posting pictures and you say, “In this economy people are getting their houses foreclosed and kids in Africa don’t even have homes. How can you even brag at a time like this?” Boohoo. The world sucks. Deal with it. My life got completely fucking destroyed by the economic downturn (no job, had to drop out of school, move back in with family, etc), but I’m not gonna bitch ‘cuz someone who’s successful is enjoying their life.
Many of these can be consolidated to make the list much smaller (i.e., the 10 different people who have terrible grammar). Likewise, do many of these constitute as a “type”? Posting that you can’t get to sleep isn’t a “type” of person.
I’d chalk it up to 40% good health (money to eat healthy, hire trainers, personal gyms, etc), 40% good doctors/makeup/stylist (a mix of plastic surgery, makeup, hair stylists, suitable fashion, etc), and 20% attractive genetics (most of these people were already incredibly attractive in their youth, which surely doesn’t hurt them now that they’re older).
It’s always amusing when people get so angry over someone pointing out they incorrectly spelled a word. You’re not speaking. People don’t verbally understand you. You are typing words with letters that people will read. Failing to do so properly will lead to miscommunication. It’s like someone driving through a red light then getting pissed at the police for issuing a ticket because they’re the one who’s incapable of driving properly.
Not per capita, which is the ratio that matters. We also have to subtract all the dual language speaking immigrants in America as well. This is a discussion about people native to a country [i]learning[/i] a new language through their own education and initiative. The simple fact is, America is piss poor when it comes to learning a foreign language when compared to [i]any other country in the world[/i]. That’s why we are the butt of every linguistic joke known to man: “If bilingual means speaking two languages, and trilingual means speaking three languages, what does monolingual mean? Being American.” Not that it should come as a surprise, considering our educational system as a whole - and not just our linguistic skills - are a complete and utter failure. God help us if the smartest people from other countries stop immigrating here, because the dumb fucks born and bred within this nation would be completely incapable of surviving without them.
I dunno what school you went to, but Spanish was a required part of our curriculum in every school I went to throughout all of elementary school (K thru 6). Hell, even my (now) 5 year old cousin was learning Spanish when he was in preschool. But hey, lets chalk it up to my geographical location having better schools than you (I’ll admit, I did go to private schools). Even still, I’m the only one among my classmates who speaks a secondary language at all. Despite being taught Spanish for many years and being one of the easiest languages for an American to learn, it still seems like an alien language to most people I went to school with. You want to blame it on our schools, but you can’t teach someone something they don’t want to learn. Look at all the dumb shits who graduate high school in America and can barely spell or count despite being taught English and math every year from the time they first entered school. Point is, a lot of westerners, sadly, don’t value education. Even if all schools in America were like the private schools I went to, you’d still have plenty - just like my classmates - who wouldn’t know a fucking thing they were taught. Meanwhile, South Koreans are speaking perfect English from the time they’re 13. You want to blame the educational system as a scapegoat, but that’s not it. It’s the society and the people in it.
