Buy it now! before you offend someone.

So Jennifer Lawrence reckons women get less than the blokes in Hollywood huh.

Could it be she maybe isn't as big as she thinks she is? or maybe she needs a new agent? Surely she (and all her feminist bandwagon followers) understands that Hollywood pay depends on how big you are, right?

The fact that people were even discussing how many millions these people get paid for doing very little is disgusting anyway frankly. You get paid millions for acting, shut up and be grateful at how lucky you are, but nevertheless...

There we go, Johansson got paid a whopping 20 million for Avengers 2, second largest amount out of the bunch, what say you now Jennifer Lawrence? Still gonna rely on Cooper and the feminist bandwagon to stand up for you?

Because you're not an actor doing this for a living.

OK, but I'd be happy getting a few million, even if I knew others were getting more. Why? because I'm getting paid a few million and even that is enough to set you up pretty good. I mean seriously, most regular people could quit work and retire for life on just one of these actors paychecks, just one!

I know what they are my satirical point was, they are, and always have been white, but that doesn't fly these days, everything has to be diversified or there is outrage. Outrage culture is the new trend.

What it, down the line, the heir to the throne married a non-white?

Nope. The guys in line for the throne were such major-assholes they decided to go outside the country. The buggers they found were so not English that they took the castles name as their heir name. It's as hilarious as it sounds.

From William the Conqueror until Edward III, none of the kings could have in fact really been called English.  Even then, I would only say that the culture of the upper class was definitively anglicized under Henry V.  Richard the Lionheart, for example, was completely a Frenchman in every way possible.  Long before that, you had legitimate English kings of Viking and at least partial Celtic ancestry, and no one batted an eye.  There have been many peoples moving in over time, so to try to pin down so narrow "English," let alone "British," people is ridiculous.

Did anyone else hear about the idiot who went off on a professor at Yale over Halloween costumes?

How the f**k did universities become so backwards? I fear for the future.

America is messed up, outrage culture has totally taken control of everything, don't say anything to anyone and never leave your house.

Of f**king course they gave in to the pressure. -_-

Joshi also provided the text of his letter to Hartwell, telling him that the decision "seems to me a craven yielding to the worst sort of political correctness and an explicit acceptance of the crude, ignorant and tendentious slanders against Lovecraft propagated by a small but noisy band of agitators.

*mic drop* More people need to stand up to these progressive mincers. Stop giving them a platform.

I'll be honest here, I don't know much about Lovecraft, but I still find it a shame that once again, the PC bandwagon is trying to 'change things for the better'. First this, how long before his works get taken away?

Yes I can see why he may not be a great role model for the present day, but I do think the fact this man was alive during the late 1800's to early 1900's has to be considered, times were of course hugely different. Many famous people during this period were that way inclined, merely a sign of the times, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Jesus Christ! If Van Gogh was discovered to be a racist would they hide away all his art?

If we're going to 'airbrush' out every person that has ever expressed a view that is, by modern standards, 'problematic' and not PC, then we're going to slowly end up erasing our history and run out of people to look up to. Modern society is really, seriously going down a very worrying path with all this PC outrage and enforced safe space creating.
