Actually, I pretty much agree with you on all counts.

I don't remember where I was told this or what it was in regards to...but I remember someone commenting (on a one of the Gawker site's threads), that men are often more tied to biology, while women feel more connected to emotion. So in these situations, women are more likely to be protective of the baby they raised,…

I'm almost 30 years old. I have never been able to blow up a balloon. Or a water float. Yet I'm a musician (flute) and have decent lung capacity! Dunno why.

That's true. But the lack of knowledge isn't just advertising's fault. Especially with the Internet availability, most Americans (and others in other developed nations) have the tools to educate themselves, they just unfortunately choose not to. :(

I don't see why you would get destarred for such a thing. Both causes are worthy of donations.

"A woman does not get cancer because she did something wrong or wasn't vigilant enough about screening."

When I first saw this, the protagonist's voice irritated me to death. But then it grew on me. And I rewatched it. And watched it again. I love Lost in Austin. :x

If, as Bachmann and Perry and others suggest, sexuality shouldn't be "allowed" or "announced" or whatever in the military, then marriage and dating should be banned, period. Across the board. Because even if straight men/women don't come out by saying "I'm straight," they sure as hell announce it by being in a…

I think another big difference between the two is the target age group. Twilight is adored by millions of teens and tweens, while True Blood is aimed toward adults. Yes, I am aware that plenty of teens will probably watch it anyway, but still.

At least Bella looks like she hasn't been beaten the morning after her deflowering in the previews. Because in the book, Edward basically beats the shit out of her when he loses his V card and she's all "I LOVED IT!"

This season could have been told in three episodes. I enjoyed the ending, but it was nothing compared to CoE.

My old university library has a "family room," in which students with children can take their parents. The room had a TV, toys and books for children, with tables and computers for parents. I used it several times while finishing my degree. Many more universities are creating such areas. So to say that children are…

However, in order to make an impact, they have to kill *someone* who is emotionally tied to the main cast, and Jesus fits that bill. On top of that, while I agree that it's nice to have a decent same-sex couple on TV, I dislike the Jesus/Lafayette couple. Jesus has repeatedly pushed Lafayette to do things that he's…

I bet Jesus dies. Maybe Portia? (I mean, she was in the season for a reason, right? Other than to sleep with her great-great-great-great grandfather?) And I think you're wrong about Debbie...I bet she dies. Or leaves some other way. Hoyt *might* die; I can't decide if the show is done with him yet. Sam's girlfriend…

I actually have one or two Jewish relatives who are staunch GOP voters. They are in the minority of that side of the family, though!

I hadn't seen that...thanks!

My nook gives page numbers, but Cat Bastet is right about the text size. It really isn't important...and because it saves your place in anything you're reading, you don't really risk losing your spot.

E-readers do have page numbers.

They've taken Jack's character and emptied out all of the fun, flirty twinkle, creating a shell of his former self. The attempts to throw it in there, like with the host at the restaurant, just make me cringe. (A slap on the guy's behind? Seriously?)

When my son was four and starting pre-k, he came home one day talking about his new friend, the brown one. We thought my son was talking about how the other little boy was brown skinned (which he is), but we later discovered it was because he was wearing a brown shirt. My son soon learned the other boy's name, so he…
