I would empty the kitty litter into the dress, put it in a plastic bag with a brick and throw it through the brides window.

WHAT? Why would any of the bridesmaids agree to that?

Why wouldn't truly single folk need a +1 just as much as couples? If they don't know anyone else there, they're still going to be stuck with no one to talk to.

I understood it fine, I'm not sure why all these other people have their panties in a bunch.

So...is John Jimmies-Rustled back on the market or what?

Preach. I had a friend whose thrice married/thrice divorced mother insisted on arguing with her about the guest list, the catering, the dress etc. I'm thinking "Lady, you've had THREE motherfucking weddings, all with the 'perfect' napery and flowers and they all failed dismally. You don't get an opinion"

Everyone in the rest of the entire world is pretty much on board with socialism. I mean, the actual dictionary definition of socialism not the US definition of "communist fascist Nazi socialist Hitler" or whatever. People, by and large, like public health and education, having roads to drive on, fire departments to…

Seriously? Like non-nerds are never annoying and talk about things that others aren't interested in, like sports or babies? I hope you don't tell give your kid that advice.

He didn't say anything about "winning" at life. Just to be compassionate because you don't know other people's stories and to like the stuff you like for yourself. I'm not sure where you got the whole competition thing from.

She didn't say anything of the sort.

Hey, I couldn't agree more with thinking the monarchy is an outdated anachronism. I'm Australian and our dickhead PM just brought back in knights and dames titles. I just don't think they're going anywhere any time soon. They cost the public about 200 million pounds a year, but bring in around 500 million pounds in…

"You" as in the general "you", not you in particular. Sorry if that was unclear. Do you live in a special little world where you can expect to call women catty for getting their backs up about being belittled and not have them respond defensively?

I hope you apply that logic to all your interactions.

Considering the woman tends to end up responsible for the bulk of child-rearing and all of the child-bearing, you need to be really sure that it's what you want or you could end up resenting your husband. Are you going to be ok with a situation where he wants to still go off to work full-time so he can be the "fun…

Me too, I'm straight up honest about it. I did have one guy tell me he didn't want kids either only to try and change my mind a year down the track because he thought "A woman couldn't possibly be serious about not wanting children" so your mileage may vary.

This, totally. I got talking to the husband of an acquaintance the other day and he'd had a few drinks and just started talking about how he loves his son very much and all, but if he had his time over again, he wouldn't be a parent and he doesn't really enjoy being a father. He was just so matter-of-fact and wistful…

35 and never wanted kids. Never seen the appeal and don't have a maternal bone in my body. Everyone has to do what's right for them, kids or no kids. I especially take my hat off to single parents because holy shit, that looks hard. You people are like some kind of superheroes.

Nah, they bring in mega-tourist bucks. They'll be around as long as they're profitable.

Now I really want to meet Prince William so I can ask "Ohmygod, what was Tom Hiddleston like?"

A portrait like that would have got the artist beheaded 400 years ago.
