I’m always amazed at the people surprised that the DNC is supporting Hilary over him. She is a long-time democrat, always run as a member of the party. Bernie is an independent who switched when he decided he wanted to run as president. She is a party loyalist, and while you can disagree about the value of that, as…

I was really just bringing this up due to the “scary chemicals” issue that comes up. I will point out that just because something is naturally occurring doesn’t make it not harmful for the environment. Most naturally occurring metals are highly toxic in the environment. But hey, if it works for you and you’re not…

Yeah - like you’ve never wanted to try koala meat before. I bet it’s really tender.

Just FYI - Borax shows evidence of reproductive toxicity and is currently classified as either a reproductive toxin category 1B or 2 depending on the jurisdiction! You know - in case you are wanting to claim that your mixture is so much safer!

I wish I could star your logical and well-thought-out comment more.

This is actually very common. Juries don’t understand science. They just see that someone got sick or injured, hear people from both sides saying that the illness/injury was caused or not caused by the chemical, and often allow emotion to sway them. Especially if they feel like the big company (that is faceless, has…

Two things - first, remember, cool pope is still a pope (still works against gay people and women.) Second, this is coming from supposedly celibate men, so they probably have as much understanding of the reaction men would have to this as they do understanding of what these women go through. As in, none.

“I am going to unite the country under conservative policies.” I’m sorry, Mr. Kasich. But exactly how are you going to stop partisan politics if you are just going to push partisan policies? Or is this the same kind of Republican unity and compromise that we keep hearing about where what they really mean is that the…

But they don’t seem to actually be looking to answer that question. Per their study, they look at the purpose of menopause. But they offer no biologic or physiologic reason for how it occurs and how in only certain species. It isn’t really data supported, and their “survey” doesn’t add anything to the discussion that…

True, but I feel like they are not really looking at this from any reasonable direction. Are they looking at what in the human or animal genome programs for the end of fertility? Did they even ask how this could possibly work (a hugely disproportionate survival of males to much later ages than females?) And isn’t this…

So, are there any species where the male lives significantly longer than the female - specifically that the female drops dead after reproducing and the male doesn’t? Because I can’t think of one. It’s almost like sex is just a part of what makes a creature the creature, and that our biological life-span is tied to…

Hey look, everyone! There ARE women in Silicone Valley! So, clearly there is no diversity problem and we can all go home! YAY!

So he was arrested for basically doing the same thing that ever naturopath and alternative medicine practitioner everywhere does (namely presenting fake medicine as real medicine?) I mean, that’s good, but can more of them be arrested? And yes, for the record, I understand that he was arrested for presenting himself…

Never wanted to get married until I fell for a foreign national. Just got the ring (which I said I never wanted until I met this one guy and was kind of hoping it would help with the whole getting hit on by random guys thing, but obviously not, and my fiance cares, so whatever.) It’s some kind of white stone,…

Was NO ONE paying attention during all of those episodes of Captain Planet?!

I had a pet tortoise and my vet regaled me with horror stories about how male tortoises will try to mate with everything. Absolutely everything. Including his shoes with his feet in them. I always gave my tortoise a bit of extra room after that...

Two thoughts on this. First - they sound like those people on Facebook who post an article from the Onion saying “Oh my god, can you believe this?” then someone replies that its’ from the Onion, a satirical site that posts fake news, and the first person then says, “well, yeah, but what if it is true?”

Here’s an idea. Next year - the women do what he suggested. Either not go to Carnival, but go to Carnival and abide by his classiness guidelines. Let’s see how long it takes for everyone there to decide that Carnival without everyone equally having a good time and letting loose (the entire purpose of the damn holiday)…

I always had this sneaking suspicion that Meryl Streep was a really clueless white lady. The kind who was a hippy in the sixties and an early feminist who doesn’t understand why we are all so mean about her because her heart is in the right place and she was there back in the 60's doing the right thing and everything.…

Your God is an asshole.
