Oh yes, I wasn't at all trying to downplay rape or anything like that. I just meant that society really really needs to stop expecting women to feel better off dead after rape-because it leads to horribly shitty things, like victims not being believed if they don't act "damaged" enough, or victims not being able to…

I live in the Deep South and people did white trash themed parties in college. Making fun of stereotypes about yourself is totally different than the majority mocking disenfranchised people with stereotypes.

Yes, this bothers me so much. I hate this mentality that rape victims are damaged goods-it's like even when people actually believe rape victims and try to be sympathetic they just wind up viewing rape victims like they're broke for life.

There are thousands of couples unable to have children, who would love to adopt the child as their own

I realize that a lot of kids grow up hearing their parents fight constantly, or worse have a parent who's abusive or something like that, so divorce is a positive. I didn't really get that experience-my parents divorced before I was too young to remember, so I don't remember their fights, and my mom and stepdad would…

That's obviously good, I didn't mean that no one should ever divorce. I know couples who try to stay together for the kids usually just wind up screaming at each other and making the kids miserable-that's just why the whole thing stresses me out so much, basically it seems like if you don't get the perfect…

Yes, and actually try starting a conversation with someone, and THEN ask for their number if it goes well. I don't understand dudes who think it's OK for the FIRST thing they say to you to be asking for your number. Even if I was single and thought a guy was cute, I'm not going to give my number to someone I don't…

Dude that is like my life. Parents got divorced when I was 4, mom and stepdad got divorced when I was in college (after he had a secret gf for years!). I've been dating my boyfriend for 6 years now and we're still not engaged. Part of me wishes he would hurry up and propose and part of me is too scared to get married…

And birth control combined with a lot less stigma on unwed parents must lead to a lot less people getting married just because of a pregnancy.

I used to work in a call center doing surveys, had lots of guys flirting with me and it always confused me, too-I get some people are just a little flirtatious, but some were super serious with it. I had one guy once who when he found out we were in the same city kept asking me when I got off and if I would come meet…

White people freak out about not having the right to bring an AK-47 to Starbucks but think it's ok to shoot a black kid because he might have a gun.

Agreed. I think the whole "Barbies don't do anything but sit there and look pretty" is really looking at it from an adult's perspective. Barbies were my favorite toy as a kid and I never just dressed them up and had them sit there and look pretty, nor did any of my friends. Sure I loved the pretty clothes but the main…

That's disappointing then. I really wish *all* places had calorie counts on the menus, but at least with big chains you can almost always find out the info on their corporate website. With a locally owned restaurant you're really just guessing.

Same here. I count calories but sometimes I'm just too tired to do anything other than drive-thru so I like to know what's the *least* bad for me. Or sometimes I just want a treat and I wanna know how many miles I need to run to counteract it.

I know someone who says they are a "writer" (as in, he likes to write, but he's never published anything)-he told me that he never reads books because when he does he just gets distracted thinking of how he could have written it better.

I don't know. I definitely feel to pregnant to suck a dick at the moment, and my baby is just a food baby.

Yeah, they do that at the McDonalds in the US, too-and I think the 800 calories or so usually includes a Coke.

Well, in the states where weed has been made legal, I think you still need to be 21 to possess it.

That's how I see it, too. I don't think there's anything wrong with the word 'lady' in general, but the way it's used in sports makes it sound like they're differentiating from the *real* men's team.

I love her, too!
