Right, but the argument that this name will limit the kid's possibilities just because there's no President Messiah or CEO Messiah isn't really fair. Would you have a problem with the name Malik? Because the name Messiah is becoming more popular. Right now it may not be recognized as a "normal" name, but in ten or…

A lot of people thought Barack Obama could never get elected because of his name. But... there ya go.

I think it's the people involved's business, not anyone on the outside's. It's the business of the child and their parents. The parents are making this choice with their eyes open. That's what y'all aren't acknowledging. They know that they're discriminated against because of their race, and that any reminder of…

Well, I guess the easiest route would be for all Hispanic people to change their last name to Smith or Anderson, then? Because your boss was a racist, people should just cede their identities, rather than remaining who they are and working to change the system?

Honestly, you're being somewhat self aware, so I don't want to be too hard on you, but it really sounds like your dislike of those names is a cultural bias issue, and frankly, it comes off as racism. Angel and Jesus are almost exclusively Latino names. Do you have a problem with the name Angela? Because it's the…

Yeah, I bet she gets a lot of, "Hey. You're on my List, so, I have permission to sleep with you." I can only imagine how dehumanizing that must feel to have men come up and say that to you.

Jesus. Of course not—I don't think that either. That's the point. No one thinks that—look at the survey numbers: men want to be able to have sex without spreading their seed. But if you look at the projects that are receiving funding, they are ensuring men the ability to have sex. Meanwhile, despite interest…

There are literally no ads that market cancer treatment drugs to the general population. Advertisements for "Low T" appear everywhere. Your analogy doesn't work.

For the love of all that is holy, watch this movie. It's one of the best cult movies of the 80s/90s.

I genuinely don't understand your logic. Originally you were saying that women shouldn't get more maternity leave than men because men are helping with child rearing—but now you're saying that women aren't CEOs because they are the primary caregivers for their families?

I'm all for paternity leave. But, let's be real. It's optional. Maternity leave is not. Whether a woman breastfeeds or not, her hormones are going through insane changes. Her body just went through something quite serious—childbirth is hard, and close to a third of women now are having C-sections, which are a…

My feeling about it is this—did women ask for this? Do women feel like they need these extra days? Or is this a man proposing a law because of what he perceives to be women's needs? And are his perceptions based on anything other than Russian Two and a Half Men episodes?

Ugh. I know. This is actually a new misuse. People usually misuse it to mean "invited the question." But this is even more degraded—it's more like "posed the question." Pretty soon the real meaning of that phrase is gonna be totally lost forever. Alas.

Agree! Especially because Buffy herself was dead and hated that she was brought back. It makes no sense that she would be okay with ripping Tara out of heaven or whatever just like she (Buffy) was. The whole thing just feels wrong. Every single thing in the show has said that you shouldn't use magic to A) tamper…

Oh! a commenter posted this http://jezebel.com/http-www-youtu… in another thread.

Hmm. Interesting. Now that you post that, I almost feel like maybe I had read that before—maybe I just never gave any credence to it, so I forgot all about it? I don't know. I've read so many random things about Buffy and Joss that it's impossible to say at this point.

Huh. I've never heard that story about Buffy getting 3 wishes. That's... weird. It sounds more like a fanfic than anything else. Funny. Do you remember where you saw that, by chance?

I know. If the plan was to cast Brendon, then I think that it all worked out for the best! Nathan Fillion is the best Mal.

Actually, Tara was supposed to appear in the season 7 episode Conversations with Dead People (as the First Evil—the part that is filled by Cassie in the scene with Willow), and Amber Benson declined because she didn't want Tara coming back as evil—she says as much in their Paley Fest panel with Joss sitting right…

Fair enough—but it's a pretty well accepted piece of lore in fandom. That doesn't make it true, but highly motivated people have had years to do the sleuthing on it, and I've never heard anyone discredit it.
