If I had to guess, I would say that people who have not had friends in a variety of colors and backgrounds throughout their lives will (if not challenged to break this trend) tend to associate with and choose new friends who look the most like themselves. In a sorority I would say that this tendency is probably…

My brother went to CU and pledged an LGBT house. He liked it in part because it gave him a dedicated group of people to smoke pot with. They also sponsored events and parties that individuals could not have afforded or planned on their own. I think it also gave him a feeling of inclusion that he might not have felt…

Because of racism.

For my sister-in-law's 30th birthday about 15 of us rented a house in Vail for the weekend. It had enough beds and couches for everyone to sleep comfortably, and somehow we managed to leave it undamaged. The owner did mention that some other renters had done over $2500 worth of damage in one weekend though.

I'm so sorry for your pain. I hope your insurance covers your therapy, but if not I think you have grounds for a lawsuit. I wonder if the park's lawyers also look like Precious Moments figurines.

Precious Moments Chapel?!? Wait, while I google this... AArgh! The tacky! It burns!

I hated the ads for the "anniversary remembrance coins" so much. Like rage headache amounts. I wonder if that subconsciously contributed to me getting rid of my TV.

Ditto, except for the 'surprisingly' part.

Weird, because I've used Chobani to get rid of yeast infections (true story).

I like a savory yogurt too. But I can eat sweet yogurt if I control the sweetness. Usually some strawberry jam or honey will do the trick. Then I don't feel like I'm snarfing a tub of corn syrup.

Aren't John Stamos and yogurt kind of the same thing? They are both Greek things I could eat with a spoon. Or how about: They are both Greek things I could put into my vagina. Just kidding! I wouldn't put John Stamos in my vagina.

Maybe ask them how to make things more inclusive. You are aware of the problem, maybe they have some ideas about how to solve it. For all you know they would love to be part of your after-hours sessions but in our society people just don't invite themselves along on other people's activities. I'm fat so people assume…

Don't feed this troll! If you read his other comments, you'll see that he's both sexist and racist. His goal is to get a rise out of you, not to listen to reason.

When there are no outside forces to tell them otherwise, people will hire either people who look like themselves, or people who are defined as the cultural majority/standard. In our culture, that is white males. When people deviate from the practice of hiring people who look like themselves (without an outside…

It's fascinating to me that you assume that women wouldn't be interested in snowboarding/camping/hiking/backpacking. I love all of that (except for snowboarding). Business-savvy women know that business is conducted on the golf course, the handball court, and at the bar. There is a problem when women are not invited…

A lot of people assume that their experience with love at first sight (or even before first sight) is universal. I was concerned for my son as he was my responsibility, but I didn't feel anything in particular about him for probably a week after he was born. He was premature and tiny, and even feeding him wasn't…

I've already started boycotting movies that suck, but it hasn't stopped Hollywood from producing them. I think a better solution is spreading the discussion around online. We're more likely to get traction with loud voices and reasoned debate than what can be read as simple disinterest.

I recently had to review basic body parts with my son (elbow, shin, knee, thigh) who is now ten. Trust me, you are doing a good thing. (In my son's defense, he is autistic and tends to learn the things that interest him. He can spell zeitgeist and vignette with no problem, for instance.)

If you have a geeky bachelor brother between 35 and 45 living in Colorado, you can be in our family. I'm sick of dating.
