To be fair, they’re advocating release or sentence reduction for people convicted of “violent” crimes, not violent prisoners. The whole point of that article was to make that distinction so it seems a little disingenuous of you to conflate the two.

Which is utterly baffling to me because any economist will tell you that increasing the incomes and employment opportunities of the very poorest in a population with have a flow on effect for the rest of the population because poor people spend their money on tangible things like food and clothing purchased at local…

I think the millions of people who will stop getting paid when the government shuts down might be just a wee bit affected.

But they do go towards helping poor women get health care and contraception which is just as bad to these people.

If all the good people leave you’re just ceding the country to the fuckwits, though to be fair, a few years after the US becomes Christian Saudi Arabia minus the money, the place would be ripe for Canada and Mexico to join forces and invade.

This is so true. I used to have a cat and she was pretty great but we were more like house mates who occasionally hung out. I developed a severe allergy and a cat-mad friend took her to live with her in her cat lady utopia which was better than living with me for sure. It is so different with my dog. I love the shit…

Or the only women who are fully human to me and therefore worthy of respect are those who are related to me by blood or marriage.

For 12 years though? And having your wife in on it too?

I also have a degree in psychology and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

If it’s ok with the Bible then it’s ok with Kim!

It is a good analogy given that the success or failure of a film owes a large amount to what critics have to say about it. Who else would be “the boss” providing feedback on performance for a film maker?

So they were entertaining back when Garden State was relevant? Ironic!

“I kicked that kid because I hate kids. I hate children of ALL races colours and creeds. I’m an equal opportunity child kicker.”

I couldn’t give a shit about height and I’m 5’9. When I dated men, I dated a couple of short guys. I clearly had no issue with it but they sure as hell did. One of them even broke up with me because he felt weird about us being in public together. Short guys moved to my do not date list because I really don’t have the…

I’m in my mid 30’s and I’m already no longer fuckable. I’m told I’m attractive and beautiful, but I’m not sexy or someone dudes want to fuck, which is fine by me since I don’t fuck dudes anyway. Watching my smart, intelligent girlfriends in their 20’s trying to negotiate relationships with incredibly immature dicks…

Not being able to distinguish between intellect and education doesn’t make you look particularly bright either.

Do you guys have Implanon in the US? I don’t know anyone in Australia that uses IUD’s (they’re seen as kind of old fashioned here, whether rightly or wrongly) but tons of people have the implant. Lasts for three years, no periods (for many women, some have very light bleeding or spotting instead of a full period) and…

I’m a latter day gay too and on the implant which has prevented me having a period for three years. It’s stabilised my hormones and prevented a lot of chronic hormonal migraines I used to suffer. It’s a subcutaneous implant that lasts three years. I literally never think about it because I don’t see it or have to…

I’ve got the implant and haven’t had a period in three years. Three fucking glorious, incredible, wonderful years. I’ve never felt better. My hormones are so stable I don’t break down weeping for no reason like I used to. If you love your period, more power to you, but I have no goddamn idea why every woman who can (I…

I was raised by liberals, had great sex ed, waited till I was 18 to have sex and STILL got pregnant when my BC failed. And I had all my options explained to me by my doctor in a totally non-judgemental way and I chose to have an abortion which was easy to access because I live in a country where fundamentalist…
