Hell is Other People -- Jean-Paul Sartre
shynessisnice:
…“hell is other people” has always been misunderstood. It has been thought that what I meant by that was that our relations with other people are always poisoned, that they are invariably hellish relations. But what I really mean is something totally different. I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell. Why?...

They don’t want to feature perversion during a program that families watch together. How is that discriminatory? How about bestiality? If a bestiality site wanted to air a commercial, would it be “discriminatory” not to show it? People are so anti-family these days, as if there’s something really wrong with wanting to protect your...

Hitchens: The Other L-Word →
kateoplis:
Many parents and teachers have become irritated to the point of distraction at the way the weed-style growth of “like” has spread through the idiom of the young.

sexismandthecity:
I hope it doesn’t, but statistics from UNIFEM say that one in five women will become a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime.

As much as The Republic is absurd and an awful book to read, it is notable for being one of the first recorded works that dealt with theories of education.
