thank you for the correction.

can we mention that she's against immunizations? Or was that her "friend?"

Because she watched "Chicago" too many times. (Said whilst artfully collapsing, "What about the baby?)

yep, that's probably why he targeted a Christian woman with a serious medical problem. If she was indoctrinated about submitting to her husband as lord and master anyway, it isn't much of a jump to push and badger her into a covenant marriage and just kept pushing. Once he had the power of life and death over her…

Yes, because smoking and drinking with a bunch of bros is associated with good decision-making. oh, wait. No, it's not. Can't wait to see the problems they "solve."

I agree. I only mentioned the first because it circulated in Texas—as in 'she's not really a lesbian or bi, just trying to make him look bad.' We know it doesn't work that way. although, the case may be more complicated than that. It may be that the ex-husband is merely calling her gay to keep her from getting the…

Maybe the opposite. He's been anti-everything for years. It could be that when she left him, it was for a woman to make it hurt more. However, rumors in Texas are that both are gays and it was a MOC.

That is beautiful. You are so right. For all intents and purposes, Roman Polanski IS WORSE of a human being than Jeffery Dahmer. Dahmer had remorse (to a degree). Polanski is just premeditated evil entitlement taken to its logical—and all too common—conclusions. Awesome screen name, too.

A commenter asked, "if the majority of a certain culture, region etc, were to believe that abortion was wrong and to be prohibited, is it within our ethical wheelhouse to demand that they instead conform to our belief structure?" I'm not sure what they are getting at. We bend over backwards to avoid offending other…

IF that turns out to be the case, it would be lovely. We would all recommend it be shown in women's studies courses. However, there is concern that a variation of the source material will still be too problematic; just as the source material was problematic. A title like "Old Fashioned," does seem like a callback…

According to the Fundies, it would be her modest and sincere submission to his dominion/domination (but not in a fun or healthy way). See the Promise Keepers web site on how they believe men were ordained by God to rule the household and women should submit to them. It is actually more damaging and abusive than…

I second ninjaCate, who said the film producers could just make the couple married. As a Progressive Christian, I'm obligated to point out that the Fundamentalist Republicans would see this as a godly marriage exactly because it is so abusive (as opposed to the light-hearted kinky fun we all know and love). A…

THIS! Exactly, this. It is about appearing better than others without the heavy lifting of actual sacrifices or merit. Thank you for stating this so well.

It is more like 50-60% when you combine fertilized eggs that fail to implant with those that do, but result in a miscarriage in the first trimester. According to the Bible, God doesn't put the soul in the body until the first breath. Only then is someone alive. But obviously, people disagree about that.

Thank you for pointing this out. It kills me that people will give certain arguments the respect of a "sincerely-held religious belief" and take it at face value while a woman's argument for autonomy is her just being a bitch or a slut.

No. George said, "Christians in particular believe in the existence of the soul, and by virtue of this, insist that life begins at the point of conception. Abortion, as seen through the eyes of the devout, is nothing less than murder — an egregious usurpation of God's will — not to mention a capital offense." This…

Get Bravo on the line to make a sassy series for him.

In this case, the landlady is the mother of the killer. He lived with her and was torturing and killing women in the basement. She didn't seem to notice somehow...

There have been a number of "mistaken identity" cases where a house used to be the home of a drug dealer. He moves on, but clients and enemies come looking to rob him or score some drugs. It can lead to real problems for the unsuspecting newcomers. Innocent people have been killed. What I'm saying is, yes, it…

Because women aren't people, just parts you rent... According to Sheri and the conservatives.
