in response to president obamas address on africa:
“I think part of what’s hampered advancement in Africa is that for many years we’ve made excuses about corruption or poor governance, that this was somehow the consequence of neo-colonialism, or the West has been oppressive, or racism – I’m not a big – I’m not a believer in excuses.
“The West and the United States has not been responsible for what’s happened to Zimbabwe’s economy over the last 15 or 20 years.”

this.
i am heartbroken.

Weird Stats of the Day: Toddlers killed more Americans than terrorists did this year
Opposing Views brings some frightening (though obviously tongue-in-cheek) statistics about the future of America: more American lives have been claimed by gun fatalities involving American toddlers than terrorist attacks this year. In the past five months, a total of 11 people were killed by preschoolers with firearms compared to the four that perished in the Boston explosions — the only terrorist attack to occur this year. We can only hope the NSA will ramp up surveillance on children less than 5 years of age in order to counter this threat to national security.

I put these together because I am sick of reading girls putting themselves down on tumblr because they don’t look like any of these women. There are things called high end cosmetics and photoshop that make these women look perfect by hiding their blemishes and wrinkles. The truth is they can afford far better makeup than you. The stuff they use is almost magic. And we all know the things they can do with photographs these days. Strip all that away and they’re just like you. You also have to figure how many of these women had cosmetic surgery. There is no so such thing as a perfect and flawless looking person.
Long overdue post…puts things into a more balanced perspective. Thank you for this compilation.
…but bless this post. I used to always feel insecure bc I wear makeup for my uneven skin and scars, but this puts it in perspective :)
& even then, some of these women are wearing minimal or natural makeup.
WOMEN IN MAGAZINES DON’T LOOK LIKE WOMEN IN MAGAZINES
There is so much professionally done makeup & hair, extensions/wigs, teeth covering, air brushing, photoshop…
Can we all just acknowledge how much even a LITTLE extra melanin helps out?
All this BASIC is NOT created equal.
(wouldn’t it make more sense for you to be happy about what you’re doing than to be mad about what im doing?)

This.
im tired of people using god to justify their prejudice
Leviticus is a list of old laws that were never relevant after its time period so when people pull Leviticus to back banning gay marriage just remind them Jesus said nothing about gay marriage but he exclusively condemned divorce.
Thank you for that ^^^^
