I don't expect women (or men) to do background checks on people they go on dates with but if you're going to invite someone to live with you and care for your children, a cursory look into their background should be a no brainer. If they can't afford to do so how could they afford to house/feed another adult?

I stand corrected. I jumped the gun and made flippant remarks not because this young man deserves not to be believed but because I'm tired of the internet outrage that proves to be misleading or outright lies.

My comment was flippant and uncalled for and my responses were defensive. Sorry for acting like a jerk last night.

Fair. And I'm not trying to take that away. Knee jerk reaction and all of that. Thanks for listening.

Um. It's Jezebel. Smug superiority REIGNS.

You didn't link to that source directly. You linked to KELOLAND and Argus Leader.

I've never wrote a short essay on fast food.

And after all that we shared...

From Lindsey "I don't know what's more sad... that you take comments on the Internet so seriously or that I'm even responding to this."

Hey look, I can get a little passionate about things but I'm not generally a rude or terrible person on purpose and if told so, I genuinely analyze my words/reactions. I can respect someone else's opinion and Lindsey has already responded that it was satire. I didn't take it for that and it wasn't obvious so it's a…

It's a Jezebel offshoot... If this was satire I couldn't tell and I am generally quick to pick up on these things.

The one that only the employee and his supporters have presented?

My dad didn't rape me when I was 12. My best friends 20+ year old brother did. These images do nothing but ruin a time (I was born in 1981) that I could look back on and remember a 'safe time' as a kid.

Pho isn't food?

I don't know what's more sad... that living without a fast food joint constitutes the worst part of your last three years or that you have so many great memories of this Taco John's that you're crying into your ever lost grilled stuffed taco.

You can't link to a blog type website and say 'see! it's true!' What in the hell is an Argus Leader?

A guy I used to work with explained it like this (and he was a tall, muscled, decent looking man)... 'When I watch porn, I'm so picky. I mean, she has to be wearing the right thing, and the makeup, and the right scenarios and she can't be too 'this' or too 'that' because there are so many videos I know if I just click…

You realize that when you try to make your assumptions ring more true by grouping all 'guys' in your specific comment that it's not necessarily true, correct? When I was 22 I dated this gorgeous man who thought one of the sexiest things about a woman was seeing the curve of her lower back meeting her ass-without…

I just read through this thread and you and your husband (and supporters) comments and I think he's dandy and you are great!!

Do you have a dick? What's the value of that? Do you have breasts? What are the value of those?
