Wow, thank you for that.

Why? Is it lax? Tell us more.

The Quakers thought silence and solitude would lead to reflection and repentance in their prisons. It usually didn't.

It's the kind of word Matt Lauer would use on the Today show. I can't hear it without thinking of some hyped-up "parents, beware" kind of segment.

"It's misleading, exploitative, and tiresome to have so much concern and so much desire focused so narrowly on slender, pretty white girls."

Julia Ormond seemed to me to change rapidly between Sabrina and Inland Empire, even though there was just 10 years between them. I think she's one of these people who did age a little faster and has accepted it gracefully and found acting roles that work for her.

I thought the oldest one (married) was the gay one, but my thoughts did wander in this direction.

This is a lot like what happened to Lara Logan. Which was also a brutal assault, but quickly fell off the media radar into obscurity. It's just confounding to me that humanity can act in such a horrific and large-scale way - that many people all torturing one helpless stranger - and yet each case is treated like a…

As a recovering alcoholic in AA, I hear stories similar to this all the time from women who were raped or gang-raped while unconscious - often with witnesses who did nothing about it. This happens more than you'd think.

Is there any actual proof that forgiveness and compassion are the ONLY ways to dispel such darkness from the world? It seems to me that women have been practicing forgiveness and compassion for a very long time now.

I think one factor is that there are more younger people in the dating pool. I started dating younger in my late 20's because so many people my age were starting to partner up. As I went through my 30's, I was practically forced to go younger - there seemed to be a dozen single 25 year olds for every single person my…

She can't judge their skills or their body when she's passed out. Plus it's a way of putting one over on her and being the dominant male they can never be with an awake woman who's looking right at them.

I thought it was one of the most realistic scenes I've ever seen. She's had sex with him before, with boundaries stated and respected. They have this fun, magical night of kissing and dancing and drinking. And so when he takes it into a weird place, she goes along with it at first because there's some trust built, and…

I'm thinking of men who've been affectionate and condescending at the same time to me, because I'm just a girl who needs their advice and guidance -but the second I stood up for myself, a nasty, openly hostile side emerged.

Princess Langwidere was my favorite character. But I loved all the books passionately as a child. The Patchwork one got through a horribly homesick week at camp when I was 8.

Sorry, I like this commercial. It reminds me of how when I start to do yoga or pilates, my youngest cat has to come get involved, and works himself into my routine somehow. And how I like to pick up my cats and sing to them when a good song is on. You say crazy cat lady, I say domestic bliss.

Thank you for teaching me one of the most splendid words ever.

Not surprised. I've known a number of straight men who feel that lesbian relationships are somehow more "pure" than straight ones, they respect lesbians more than straight women, they feel like a lesbian in a man's body, wish they could be lesbians, etc.

To me, Justin Theroux will always be the guy from Mulholland Drive. And even though I'm sick of hearing about them, I think he and Aniston make an adorable couple.

Excellent point.
