Because we don't. That's just how life rolls with a small child. It's a 24 hour game of keeping them alive and training them to not be tiny assholes — and use the potty.

So me and my family (sister, father, mother) are in NYC during christmas break last year. We decide to go out to this really really nice steakhouse in Manhattan with my boyfriend who happens to be in grad school at the time in the city. Everything is going well, we get a round of drinks chit chatting nicely discussing…

David Duchovny was scheduled to give a talk at my college (a theater school in NY) in one of our small theaters (capacity about 150 people). I was staying late after class with my scene partner and as we were leaving, we saw this whole thing play out in the lobby from the top of the stairs: 100+ students lined up…

When I was four I was in OHare airport with my parents on the way to Salt Lake City. This was 1986. A man in a gold glittery suit walked by with a bunch of other men. I broke from my parents and ran after him. I grabbed his knee and was immediately picked up and handed to my parents by the other men. That golden man…

Daryl Hannah once ate at my families restaurant! Its more surprising because it was in a small town in Canada. And she's not really a celeb anymore. but whatever. DONT TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME. SPLASH RULES.!

A woman shooting at a man in self-defence? She better not be black.

Unanimously voted, because you know, fuck women!

Hey! I'm not like "those" people. I could totally get off of this assistance if I wanted to! haha

Like a domestic violence abuser, the GOP is doing this out of "love, caring and for your own good".

Um. That is actually just not true. First, yes, occupational segregation (meaning male and female dominated jobs) does make up the majority of the gender earnings gap; however, there are many caveats to that. Statisticians, sociologists, etc. that look at the wage gap control for experience, education, tenure, etc.…

White guy?

"That my parents migrated legally to the United States based on applicable laws at the time has no bearing on my point"

I would also like to highlight the rage that burns from me when you consider this: Abstinence folks are typically the folks that say, "We oppose government interfering in our daily lives! Except if you're pregnant. Then you have no reproductive choices. We'll get ALL UP in your biznass. But when the kid is born,…

Alternative to detention programs that have been successful do not include detention. I am curious what a "better" detention method is? Do tell. The point is that 50% (and the number is growing) of these centers are for profit AND that is why we detain people... for money. Whether they are sick or pregnant is…

Aw, against illegal immigration. I hope you never eat out and that you wear all-American made clothing and oh god, a million other things that immigrants who are here illegally do for you.

(1) not all those detained have necessarily broken a criminal law. (2) U.S. immigration policy has explicit enforcement priorities that put non-criminal non-citizens at the bottom of the priority list, however reality and practice doesn't always match up with policy, which is why people who shouldn't be detained…

Unless you are 100% native american you shouldn't even whisper the words "illegal immigration". I'm so tired of people in the US up on their high-horse all against letting people into the US. It's not illegal immigration you should be against, it's the terribly slow, painful and bureaucratic nightmare path to legal…

... the inhumane thing. Also you clearly have no idea what those detention centers are like. Also, they are a total drain on the taxpayers dollar. If you do the research you will see most of contracts for running those places are awarded through no contest contracts to some crony with one degree of separation from…

The MRAs really loooooooove this issue, as they think simple obfuscation proves them right.
