I absolutely agreed. I think the true meaning of being republican no longer exists in pop culture - while I have no doubt individuals still strive for that belief structure, it's not represented anywhere on the national level. And while I think regardless I would be liberal and still more likely to vote democrat,…

"It's like a selective, convenient reading of the Bible or something." Precisely - everything they do is ok, and if you disagree with them you're evil. There's a word for this - insanity.

There are millions of religious people who get a long just fine. There is something inherently wrong with THESE people when they feel that not only to the laws and morals of man apply to them, but neither do the laws or morals of their God.

I've known a few other moms who have gotten pushed to a c-section (some got one, some didn't) after a few hours of pushing, but this case was ridiculous b/c it was just labor! she had only just become fully dilated! So insane!

she was in active labor for 2 hours, reaching full dilation shortly before the doctor suggested a c-section. However she was admitted the night before during early labor because she was dehydrated.

Did someone call the wambulence?

If you can hook me up with a job, I'll be there next week

"It shows they are operating in bad faith and a lack of morals." - further proof that they have completely become the party of "the ends justifies the means."

The last line hit the nail on the head - only their perspective matters. Their utter hypocrisy in forcing Christian ideals while stigmatizing Muslims is justified by the "well we're Christians, we know we're good." (Not a slam on all Christians - just the crazy ones who support things like this.) It's ok when THEY…

The Susan B. Anthony list is an insult to the great lady and yet another example of the never-ending depths conservative fundamentalists will go to deceive the public. They get the tie-in b/c it proposes to be a "pro-life" group aimed to get "pro-life women" elected to congress even though it repeatedly supports…

so...his experience as a man is less valid than your experience as a man because of...what exactly?

ba-zing! +1

Yes, what you wear says something to the greater public. When I wear a suit to a business meeting it shows that I'm serious and respectful. When I wear jeans and a tshirt to the mall, it shows I'm being casual. When I wear a bikini to the grocery market, it shows I'm being inappropriate and probably somewhat out of…

I'm with you so long as it's actually a choice. A lot of women get coerced, bullied or lied to in order to have a c-section. A nurse told a friend of mine that the recovery period is *better* for c-section patients than vaginal birth <—- blatant lie. I'm currently not even interested in having kids, but due to a long…

And this is why I always have someone at the house with before before I let someone in. Is it paranoid? Arguably. But it makes me feel much safer.

From the articles that I have found, there is no clear statement whether or not he was already an employee - it's unclear. So either he was an employee and received a promotion - which would be blatantly sexist and hypocritical - or he was one in a pool of applicants that makes his selection extremely bizarre.

That would probably depend on how they define their own personal moral code. I have no insight to that because it's clearly bizarre and hypocritical.

I don't see where the article says he wasn't already an employee. If he wasn't an employee, this would seem to imply they sought him out specifically to give him the job because in this economy I would think (even with this shitty contract) there would be loads of people applying for the job. but they gave it to this…

To clarify - By putting them in the realm of mockery, I meant not that they were accusing Jezebel of violating their rights but that clearly they felt their rights have been violated when they haven't. Add them to the long, long line of people who continue to believe that their behavior is protected when it's not, and…

From the PIKE email, "Please help us support our right to the freedom of expression." This puts it in the realm of mockery because as its been routinely pointed out, their rights haven't been infringed because it wasn't the government doing it. However, the article also seems to suggest that the PIKE guys themselves…
