What game is that? Care to let a common public peon in on the joke?

I don't know about Amercuh, but in Canada they brought over Chinese men to build our national railroad. They got half the pay of white people, were treated like shit, and made to do the most dangerous jobs. Once the railway was done, the government put a head tax on Chinese immigrants to discourage them from moving to…

That sounds terrible. No sarcasm at all - just wanted to say that it sucks that you and so many women deal with that nonsense.

Really? I thought the kiddie acting sketch was terrible. I can't stand that woman who plays Miley though, so maybe that's why.

It is not the same bowl of fruit. The Canadian musician Peaches is older, cooler, and quite talented.

Yeah, but they all get free cars ;)

I wholeheartedly agree. Whenever I get the whole everything must be natural schpeel I like to point out that hemlock and a great variety of natural plants are quite toxic. That said, I prefer whole foods. It's also really, really easy to make vanilla extract.

I think really it comes down to flavour and possibility of contamination. Some artificial flavours are chemically different from the naturally found flavours they emulate. Usually this just means they don't taste as good. If they are chemically different, it's possible they may not have as robust a body of research…

Yes! More people need to spread the good word of the gingerbread latte.

The gingerbread lattes are my new favourite. MmMm mm molasses drizzle

I get what you're saying, but your being pretty judgey about women who work in or run bakeries, etc. You can only respect women who work stereotypically make careers or highly specialized intellectual jobs?

I would have to agree with you - my mom' diets and the way she talked about bodies (hers and mine included) had much more of an impact on me than my Barbies. I do think more realistically shaped dolls would be better, but parents and peers shape a child's body image way more than toys and princess stories. Children…

The peeing on me during diaper changes I've experienced, but the poop is new to me. It's good to hear it's not an everyday occurance! I hope your kid develops kinder timing :)

Thank goodness! That totally freaked me out.

Jesus. Is this a frequent thing?

As someone who has a dog guide to help with my disability, please don't ask us to pet our dog while they are working (they wear a harness/jacket when on the job, so it is easy to tell). The answer is no and it sucks to be badgered about it. People approach me about it all the time (and are often very rude when i say…

Uh, you're wrong. I have a service dog. They are taken out for socialization training from puppyhood. It is often the responsibility of a foster family to do this. After the fostering and socialization period, they are assessed and may then go on to more specialized dog guide training (4-6 months plus training time…

I need to meet the atheists you know, because the ones I know are just as obnoxious and proselytizing as the religions they are railing against. The atheists I know are very vocal and pretty big assholes about it, just like evangelical Christians.

Because it diminishes the horror of slavery from a place of white privilege? Because context matters. I find it more stupid than racist, but racism and stupidity are such close friends..

Seems schools always think sex ed is a more sensitive area than rape is. Fucking idiots.
