Now, you're just being disingenuous. How precious. But really, in those 2 threads, yes 2, how many disputed that this was the husband's fault? But whatever, you've played the won't-someone-think-of-the-aggrieved-male role well.

And for the 2 comments that questioned the husband's involvement, there's equal number "I know men are evil here" and "it's hilarious so many people want to blame the husband" to keep it in balance. Thanks for playing.

That's a good point. I was reading an article in the NYT's the other day discussing the demographic shifts in the US in regards to housing. Urban areas, particularly those that promote walking and biking, are becoming more expensive where as suburban/exurbs housing prices are falling. The well-off are moving in…

"Not that religion owns marriage but in most religions marriage means something more than a business contract of whatever dimension."

I've had moments where I've just blanked out, but come on, she couldn't even come up with Katniss from the Hunger Games?

Feminazis? Really? You didn't address any of ad infinitum's points, you just went with the standard feminazis. Ooooh, burn. Excellent come back. You totally won that match.

Do you eat meat? Use any animal products? Because, apparently, livestock hormones and fertilizers are a bigger problem than the 1% of estrogen in water caused by birth control pills. So, unless you, your wife, and the rest of your family have figured out how not to eat, you all are part of the problem, and thus,…

As a born and raised Hoosier who left 20yrs ago, I concur. My friends who have also moved away and I refer to it as Crazy-ana.

Most likely, because the economy sucks, and they can't sell the house. If you're a renter, you can always move. If you bought it, it's a lot harder to go. Their only option might be going through the courts.

"I just skimmed through the comments and I'm pretty sure people on both sides of this conversation are making it about themselves."

One of my old dogs loved to be groomed and dressed in clothes (coats, scarves, hats). He had been an abused dog that was dropped off at AC&C in NYC not once, but twice before I adopted him. I imagine the grooming felt good and the clothes were warm in the winter (the only time he wore them). I never painted his…

So, it's a repackaged Entourage. Which character is the new Ari?

Many of my relatives believe in this concept of "American Exceptionalism." I have a great time tweaking them regarding their beliefs that "We're Number 1! Booyah!" None of them have stepped foot outside of the US; they aren't particularly interested in other cultures or world history. In all honesty, they don't…

What about it?

"And my response is trolling how?"

Tonight my pets are going to treated to a thunderous rendition of McArthur Park in honor of Donna Summer. Someone left the cake out in the rain indeed.

When I worked for a police department, there was a lot of emphasis on de-escalation particularly domestic disturbance situations. However, that was 20yrs ago, and it seems times have changed.

This reminds me of an article I read on Salon many moons ago. The basic summary was what was up with the white guy's Asian woman fetish. One of the stories they told was of an old, overweight, white man who went to another country (I think Thailand) to find a submissive, hot young bride that a man of his stature…

I've had a drivers license for the majority of my life now, yet I wasn't aware that in certain areas you had to sign the ticket. I've had 1 speeding ticket in my life, and I didn't have to sign anything. How would I know? And the police do have to act within certain confines of the law in this country; their…

I'm quite stunned that we have come to the point in this country that police officers who supposedly undergo rigorous training at tax payer expense can escalate a speeding ticket into a tasering incident of a pregnant woman in front of her 11yr old son after they intimidating her with the taser. All for a speeding…
