This is true. Very true.

It really is awful, and everywhere, and women are usually made out to be bitches and/or sluts if we don't immediately fling our panties at these guys.

This, exactly. It's not about a sacrifice, it's that I just don't want children. I have no desire to have a baby. At all. Even if I had all the time and money in the world.

Those of us who choose to not have children are usually making that choice for reasons other than "oh hey I want to be able to drink and party and I can't do that with kids!" I'm not having children for a variety of reasons and not one of them is because going out with friends is my main priority or even a high…

This is a wonderful comment.

Articles like this make me realize how lucky I am that my parents are supportive of me not wanting children (even though I'm an only child) and are perfectly happy having a granddog. I've known for pretty much my whole life that I don't want children (and I have an entire list of reasons why). I'm lucky to have met…

I think that in the states and other westernized areas there is a much higher abundance of the nonreligious than in other countries. If we are to consider highly religious areas like the middle east, where most are religious, than it makes sense that the numbers are so low. I would say that in industrialized nations…

Well said and very, very true.

I always thought that too, but I'm from Connecticut. I always kind of figured that valley girl accent aside that those on the east and the west coasts (although looking at NJ, NY and MA - they usually have a harsher pronunciation) spoke in the same or very similar dialect while those in the mid and southern states had…

I'm sincerely glad that they get vet checks on them, and let nature take it's course rather than rely on chemicals or traps. I like this information.

I'm studying psychology too! That's why I imagine I would be so interested in it, I truly enjoy trying to figure out the human psyche and gaining perspectives different that my own. I think that with all the recommendations here I will definitely have to pick it up over break and read it. Thank you :)

Thank you :) I certainly don't expect it to be anything less than bleak and depressing, but I enjoy reading true to life novels, and love the insight into different perspectives and mentalities. However, like you said, I usually need to brain-wash (haha) with something fun - usually a cute anime with adorable animals.…

Thank you for your input on the book :) I am not really a "literature snob" but a book has to be well written for me to enjoy it, even if the subject matter is interesting. I enjoy reading true to life, serious novels so this sounded like it might interest me. I definitely don't think I could read it right now, I…

Racial differences in psychological illnesses are not necessarily based on genetics, but usually based on the average socioeconomic status of a racial group. Biologically speaking, there is no more of a genetic difference between me and a black woman than me and another unrelated white woman. Racial differences in…

How is that book? Is it worth reading? I've been looking for books to read in between semesters and while I never got around to watching the movie, it looked rather interesting.

Just inviting myself to the CT gathering over here... also I have to seriously agree with LaComtesse in the process.

Yes, makeup is just for snobs. Obviously that is what I'm saying. You're super good at reading in between the lines and acting self righteous. She can't sell to grocery stores or drug stores? I'm pretty fucking poor and I can afford to buy things at grocery stores whose employees are a part of a union and get paid for…

Fine, understandable, but don't attribute it to caring.
