You know she really wasn't doing "blackface". Blackface has as noted a history and story and a way of going about it. If you dropped Julianne into history and put her on a stage no one would think "oh yeah, we're getting a blackface performance."

I kind of have an opposite situation. I'm white with black nieces and live in a small town. I also work with kids. So anytime I'm with any black girls people automatically assume they are my nieces. Yes, I have black nieces. No I am not related to every black girl in town. You know what people, just don't worry about…

The thing that would fix a lot of evil in this world is Universal free birthcontrol and free private health clinics for women and children.

Just got this for my niece's 4th birthday. Yes it's market for girls, but it awesome and smart and she loves it!! She's getting the next one for Christmas!

I have a picture of myself in that exact same spot, 100's of worshipers and tourist do so daily. She looks better than I do and probably had a better photographer but not really much different.

It's funny because I live in a state where for 12 years the most popular name was Emily but what is funny is that I work with kids and have never had an Emily.

"I think families should all have the same name" Is such a mono familial thought. My nieces don't have my last name but I would die for them. I doubt anyone besides their dad on their paternal line would lift a finger for them.

Because traditionally women will care for their children regardless of what their name is, a man has to show ownership to provide.

So I'm guessing you think my opinion is gross, that is your right. You do realize that you are the one coming across as full of rage and not completely in control of your self. I have a different opinion than you do, this doesn't make me go off on a cuss filled tirade. Maybe you need to learn to accept that people are…

Actually I can say "to each their own" and consider their actions gross. Things I also find gross— eating meat, smoking, using drugs, not breast feeding if you are physically capable, and I could go on and on. It doesn't mean I think I have the right to tell you not to do them, but I sure as hell can have an opinion…

I would say to her own your destiny, if you don't like your dad, don't wait around until some fairytail hero comes along to marry you and give you a new name, Change your name when you are 18. Be your own person not property.

As a person who owns 30 horses I can guarantee you my name is on my horse breed registration papers and USEF registration papers, because you know I own them.

Yes, but you have to start somewhere, if you don't change your name and you give your child your name, then that child has her Mom's name, and her child will have her grandma's name, and the next child will have her great grandma's name, and on and on.

I'm not being a dick, I just happen to be old enough to know that there is no promise of prince charming or any guarantee that you will end up married! If you are living your life around some hypothetical future husband then you are not really living your life! If you don't like your name then change it, you don't…

And what if the mother of your child feels the same way about her name. You know the person who will actually expel the baby from her body, who will potentially put her life in danger having that baby, the one who will nourish that child from her body, the one who is more likely (statistically) to change diapers, to…

Are you engaged or are you just assuming you will get married or you just WILL get married regardless if you really find the right person? Because waiting around for a man to change your name too because you hate your Dad seems a little ???? You can just pick a name YOU like and change it.

First of all, to each their own, but honestly I think it's really gross to hear when women change their name. You know whose name I get to change? My livestock when I buy them. You are an individual-keep your name.

This won't be popular but being fat, over weight, eating badly, not exercising and being unhealthy gets a big pass compared to smoking, doing drugs, or engaging in other risky health choices.

No problem. You must learn to roll with life's little bites.

Both you and the dog will be fine. The dog will eat much worse things and you will suffer much worse than a couple of cat bites. Sit back, relax and enjoy your Saturday night.
