The policy hasn’t changed. Abortion is still grounds for excommunication. And you are right, child rape is not.

Gee, I wonder why people who work and live in heavily military communities often have an unfavorable opinion of the average servicemember, while people 500 miles from the nearest base whose closest relation to the military is their stepbrother’s nephew who did 18 months in the Coast Guard and got an other than…

If you can’t afford to tip appropriately, you can’t afford to eat out.

Yea im just brushing up on all this again and he was definitely charged and found guilty of conspiracy to kidnap, he had used the police database and was looking up how to knock out people with chloroform. I am trying to understand why a judge would overturn this....

Me! I'm very attracted to twinkly-eyed human smirks!!!!

For the mustache, don’t use a regular razor. Get one of these -

How could anyone not believe that? You have to like live under a rock and also not know any history. Dude, One in FOUR Asian men are direct descendants of Genghis Khan. Direct, not even like an uncle or cousin. Genghis Khan himself fucked one of their ancestors, and you can pretty much bet most of those encounters…

Just awful news. I can’t imagine what those girls and women are going through, and have gone through.

Regarding access to abortions, from what I’ve read UNFPA can only work within the legal frameworks of the nations they service. They promote voluntary family planning though, and often deal with the outcomes of unsafe…

I mean, we have flavors that people in the Midwest…

It’s one thing to not be familiar with a particular type of food. It’s another to keep insisting on asking for things that are not on the menu that’s in front of you, and to talk to the staff like they are either idiots or do not speak English when they tell you that what you want isn’t on the menu.

A yuppie and his date came into the bar. It was obviously early in the relationship and he was obviously showing her how urbane he was.

Nothing says “stepping out of your comfort zone” more than repeatedly asking why you can’t order lo mein.

I feel like no matter where you’re from, if you’re attending college you probably ought to know that Tokyo is not in China.

What is it with sushi and stupid people? I was out to dinner this weekend at a very nice sushi place (the kind where they serve sushi and that’s it, no hibachi or noodle dishes or anything) and the two women at the table in front of us were absolute nitwits. They sat down, looked over the menu, and then started doing…

I hope you tipped that waiter very well.

I bounced a bowl of fancy little French pickles off his forehead, one by one, and the waiter brought me a fresh bowl.

I dated a guy in law school who broke up with me, on Valentine’s Day, in a fancy French restaurant. Apparently he thought I would not make a scene in public. Apparently he had learned shit about me in that year we dated. I bounced a bowl of fancy little French pickles off his forehead, one by one, and the waiter…

You...may not have the best grasp of how a lot of IT support jobs work. To be frank, you honestly sound like the kind of person whose from upper management and responds to new technical concepts in confusion and frustration, but I’ll admit that’s a bit of a reach, basing your technical knowledge on a single comment.…
