@YoungBayardRustin: I worry about this - I'm white and straight and I feel that if I ever speak out for the rights of ethnic minorities or people who aren't straight, other people could just turn to me and go 'Why do you care? And why do you think you have to stand up for these people as if they aren't capable of…

@Oface: You and your current company are moving in different directions?

Teach her how to say 'Fuck off' and mean it. Seriously, if I'd learnt this at 12, I wouldn't have to deal with so many assholes between then and when everyone's hormones and personalities settled down around age 15.

@skahammer: Is this really the law? How scary.

@milknosugar: I've had lots of job interviews in the UK and I've never heard of sending a thank-you note. Check around with other people but I think this is definitely a US thing.

@morninggloria: My brother once found a teenage girl's phone on the train and before leaving it at the next station, he sent the pictures of her posing naked to the contact that was labelled 'Dad'... I imagine that will make her more careful of the effect of technology on her life.

Let's define the word 'exploit', shall we? According to this online dictionary I just found, it could mean -

I'm British - I don't think our universities 'do' nudity. Unless it's involving some rugby boys and a drunken streak around the quad after a night in the bar...

I'd let my kids drink wine. It compliments the food, for crying out loud.

@Michael Bauser: ALL my stuff matches, because I've been carefully building my lingerie collection that way for years.

Beige underwear means you have nothing to hide? Something gives me a feeling that peep hole undies say 'I've got nothing to hide' a little better.

As a consumer, I'd like to register my ok-ness with condom use in porn. I do not get any less aroused just because someone's penis is blue-tinged and shinier than usual.

Sounds fab, but anything that ends with the possibility that I might shit myself is just not for me...

@DaniFae is so into you but way too smart for you: Totally sending that to my mother...

The first picture is interesting - what do you think, she made him sleep on the floor and he lashed out with scissors from the dresser?

My parents believe the 'gay agenda' exists too. They never actually say what they think it is though....

@neverdiplomatic: You're completely right - I'm mixing up my Buffy and Dawson's Creek universes :S

I remember when they had that 'Arquette' episode of friends, because Courtney had changed her name after her marriage and they decided to add it to everyone's name in the credits :(

@bowleserised: I think the entry requirements for the school were that the mother had to have converted in an Orthodox temple, not a more modern establishment, as she had done. I think they more penalised her choices about her religion than her son's racial background, which gives me difficulties with eventual ruling.

Hmm. I invited my 80 year old neighbour in the other day, so we could exchange spare sets of keys. Having known him for so long, giving him my keys and allowing him inside was plainly an invitation for sex.
