@AldoraGreel: But isn't Elizabeth Bathory, a countess, one of the modern foremothers of vampire lore? Class seems to have always been an integral part of the vampire myth.

Thanks for the history lesson! I've only seen the first 2 episodes of the Walking Dead series, but I was bothered by the white supremacist they added. It seemed really cheap to add this character who we're obviously supposed to hate (something they seem to be doing with Shane as well... he's got issues in the…

@Goldbunny86: Ugh, the food is good but it's stupid expensive.

@Goldbunny86: I lived there too! Los Angeles groceries have nothing on Wegmans.

OK, but as someone who used to live in upstate NY and now has to deal with CA's Ralphs, Wegmans is really awesome. I mean, there's nothing funny about great prices for quality food.

@The_Cow_Palace: You're right that it's not a guarantee, but I'm having a hard time seeing what an alternative should be. If we take away such "insurance" is that going to push more women to be financially independent? I don't believe it will.

@Lena Chen: So because someone chooses to see marriage as an outward expression of a commitment to someone they love they are uneducated?

@The_Cow_Palace: Your response is kind of all over the place, so I'm not sure what to address.

@SierraFoxtrot: I don't because regardless of who is the disadvantaged party in a marriage, it is unlikely that there won't be one. Further, as women become breadwinners, I would hope men feel more comfortable taking on the homemaker role knowing that their interests will be protected also.

I know there are a lot of reasons to be negative about the history of marriage and reasons not to participate in it, but on a whole I find it not only currently relavent, but important for women. In my unromantic opinion, more than promising to stay together for life, marriage is a contract that ensures equity in…

I loved Disney Princesses as a child but for some reason (a little good ol' American brain-washing, a little orphan-fiction) the Royal Family makes me ill.

@cait98: See, now that changes this story 100% for me. Right or wrong, he has a right to defend himself. Suing the parents unprovoked is completely different from a countersuit to lessen liability.

I, for one, will not be calling him a racist anytime soon. It obviously hurts his feelings and may be unfair. Instead I will stick to calling him a traitorous liar who broke our economy; bled the middle class; back-stabbed minorities, women, and the the poor; and committed crimes against our government and humanity.

@young_digory: No, there are no other statuses, which makes it doubly stupid. She has actually been with her live-in bf for almost 7 years, longer than the couple who got married. The whole thing is beyond stupid.

@MadamePsychosis: @all, no. She got screwed out of the rest of the money. Bullshit, right?

My hetero wedding also ditched all of these things!

@blades311: The thing about this amendment that is really terrible is not the amendment itself, because it's probably never going to pass, but the fact that every year progressive groups like PP are going to have to shell out much needed funds to defeat it. I wonder sometimes if they just do it to suck money from…

@Cimorene: If I could heart you again for this comment I would.

@BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): Your comment really reminded me of my life and how important it is to include my unrelated experiences. Anyway, we were talking about me, right?

I don't having any pictures... yet! I was, however, thinking about going as some kind of off-duty sex worker. Like the opposite of sexy-fying a normal costume. My problem is I don't want to show up in street clothes and be that guy (the guy who pretends street clothes are a costume). Any ideas?
