    I don't know if it's the best, but: I work in a job where I have to sometimes drug test the people I work with. People lie all the time about getting contact highs (I was in a car where everyone was smoking so that's why my THC levels are over 750). But my favorite was from a person (known crack lover) who tested

    "I HATE MY SON. I DIDN'T WANT A BOY. I WANTED A GIRL" I'm sorry but I have nothing but sucky feelings for this parent. It's one thing to say your miss your old (pre-child) life or regret having your children so young. I'm sure many or all parents feel that way. It's another thing to hate your child because of

    I took this as "we don't have to live in a world where sexual assault is inevitable. We can change."

    Yes, and people dismissing her as a feminist if she isn't 100% always wearing the "I-m-a-good-feminist-and-always-behave-the-way-mainstream-feminism-says-I-should" feminist hat. Privileged folk love to dismiss the less privileged if they don't behave the way the privileged think they should 100% of the time. Like,

    but yeah, 'Yonce/Partition is heavily played around this house.

    FLAWLESS is the best. That should be in heavy rotation, for any number of reasons.

    Yes, the book puts forth a very interesting statement. But please, for the love of Christ, don't ever use the word "neglection" again. Please. I just can't....

    I actually believe the exact opposite. I don't believe we will ever agree on when life begins or whether a fetus is actually a living person. But I do think that regardless of where you fall on that argument, we should all agree that it is not moral or ethical to deny an already existing, living, breathing,

    I actually think this conversation is worth having. For example, I am pro-choice not because I don't think a fetus is alive. I think that is a philosophical question that everyone can debate until we're blue in the face. I am pro-choice because regardless of whether one believes that a fetus is alive or not, we

    Well, clearly there exists a culture within the police department where 4 separate officers felt comfortable going to police headquarters and AT MINIMUM having sex with a drunk woman, and at the worst, raping her while his three follow officers waited around. If I were working for a large organization, I would sure

    The truth about why they thought they could get away with it in police headquarters with other police witnesses is a frightening truth that I'm choosing not to consider at this moment.

    You totally don't get my point.

    Right, I'm not debating that. I'm saying that we can leave it up to her to decide what to do about it. She's clearly fully capable of handling the issue herself. You all think I'm saying it was cool or something for him to ask her out. That's not my argument. My argument is that we leave it up to her (the

    So to use your words, he was being "a dick" by asking her to prom? He didn't ask the administration to prom, yet they felt the need to step in, as if she couldn't handle it herself. This was an interaction between the student and Miss America. She can handle the interaction herself. She turned him down. If

    I just want to say that what this guy has been through is horrific and completely life altering. And then to have to go through life with your perpetrator(s) being honored and glorified for making such great movies/TV/whatever the fuck they make, would be like reliving it every day. You'd know it was happening to

    Here's what's fucking gross about the whole thing to me. She goes to a high school to talk about STEM careers and a not-underage boy asks her out (he's 18). It;s cute. 18-year-old boys are always totally wooed by gorgeous women, even when they should be thinking about other things. But then some stupid ass big

    No, when my step-dad was on a ventilator and had a massive, bilateral head trauma that turned much of his brain into a swollen, blood-filled mess that he would never recover from, turning off the machines and stopping his beating heart was not wrong.

    Plus you might get cat litter in your butt.

    FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST. What are they trying to do, kill the heir to the throne? Call up the royal foster home and have this child promptly removed. Who the fuck doesn't know that it's rear-facing. And what else, are they using conventional cotton diapers instead of ogranic? Desitin instead of butt paste?

    If all of your sexual encounters that you are basing your opinion on involve your partner freezing and showing her consent by simply a "lack of resistance" then you are either a rapist or you have been having really terrible sex your whole life.
