That were my thoughts too, when I first watched this. The oldsters of today were the beatniks and hippies of yesterday. The pioneers of rock music. When someone reaches 60, are they supposed to give up everything they love? When I asked my grandfather at age 92 how old he felt, he said he hadn't changed. Inside, he…

Ummm…so I'm guessing she's around Mick Jagger's age. Roughly. Except she doesn't dye her hair. Everybody's amazed Granny can rock. Reminds me of the time a bajillion years ago watching Bonnie Raitt and this guy admiringly wanted to know who this woman was that played guitar like a man. It's almost like we've made no…
And yet you took the time to read it and comment anyway... I really don't understand people who go out of their way to read things they don't care about, to inform everyone that they don't care.
Anyway, enjoy that superiority complex. Looking down my nose at people always gave me a headache so I stopped; hope it works…
Well aren't you just a delight. It doesn't have to be done, because believe it or not, taking pleasure in things, even things that others may consider superficial, doesn't bring civilization to a grinding halt.
I agree that in America, the birth of the heir to British monarchy is a non-event. In Britain, it's vaguely…
PSA: nobody cares about how little you care about this baby.
I like it. If she's delivering, best wishes.
No snark. Why snark? Best wishes for the mother and child.
But why mock people for it? Them caring about it has zero impact on your life. Some people are taking genuine pleasure in this news - don't piss on them just because you somehow feel superior.
False alarm everyone. It was a lookalike staged by The Sun. How do I know you ask? I follow some royal reporters on Twitter. Shut up. What of it.
Well, I would rather hear about the Royal baby than the North West (<-LMAO) baby.
If there's one thing pregnant ladies love it's unsolicited advice about their pregnancy/labour/baby.
Completely agree. The amount of obsessive compulsive anxiety given to this topic by some of the commenters here is shocking. Give birth, don't give birth, whatever - don't act like it's the be-all and end-all of the existence of you and everyone around you.
Something about these "let me tell you all about childbirth and babies, it's going to be OK " articles annoys me. Part of it is the impatience I feel because childbirth is such a mundane, (near-)universal fact of life, and a gazillion women before have done it, and a gazillion women after will do it. It's not that…
It's easier on your body to use a hole you have than make a new one.
Either way I does not understand it. Just go to a good school, work hard and be like me.
I think that it's the recent clash between historic church principles and society that have brought these issues to the limelight. Despite how commonly they are talked about, I wouldn't describe them as "big" tenets of Catholicism or Christianity. The big tenets in my opinion are the basics about God existing, Jesus…
I think being religious without being a dick IS the norm - most religious people I know are normal, reasonably kind people. I think the same thing about most atheists I know. It's just that both groups have a subset of people who are dicks, and both could use an article letting them know how to not be like that :)
I'm starting to think that rich, nervous parents are the only thing keeping the economy going anymore.
Just to be clear, the Indulgences are being offered to those who *actively participate* in World Youth Day. The Twitter/social media business is for those who would otherwise have gone but who can't make the trip to Rio de Janeiro in person. "The faithful who on account of a legitimate impediment cannot attend the…
You also have to go to Confessions to receive these indulgences. So basically, confess your sins, and they'll be pardoned. Not news, that's how Catholicism has worked for a long time.
I don't know why they're pretending like this is anything new. (they = the vatican? the media?)
