If this song is anything to go by, you may not be the first person to reach that conclusion:

He looks like a Jimminy Cricket, in human form.

Oh god, that is gloriously cheesy. With cartoons! And dickens! And drama-eyebrows!

It would also be possible to make the point that this is an unacceptable tactic without replicating it. Call the picketers (that part is brilliant), and tell them, among other things, that you chose not to look up their children's names because you don't want to threaten minors who are innocent in this affair.

Agreed. I think that it would be possible to make the point eloquently enough with the usual harassment + a simple statement about the impropriety of threatening children ("Although it would have been easy to do so, we chose not to do any research about your children, their names, or the name of their school, because…

Although I agree with you overall (dudes, if your god cares so much about foetuses, ze can protect said foetuses), the belief that unborn souls get a free pass into heaven is definitely not universal among Christians. From what I understand of Catholic dogma, every human being is tainted with the original sin - if we…

Thanks, and to you too!

You can get pretty good hair-pulling going with missionary, and, if not spanking, slapping.

Yeah, I don't get the bad reputation. Used correctly, withdrawal is exactly as efficient as condoms are. If you are in a STI-free, monogamous relationship with a guy who knows his own body, choosing between the two methods is really only a matter of personal preference and of what meshes better with your style.

Haha, yes.

I suspect that if she had starred in Twilight, we would all be complaining about what a terrible actress she is. Stewart is good in some of her other parts, there just isn' a way to salvage Bella.

Yeah.

I don't know, but when I asked my doctor for it about seven or eight years ago, she wasn't sure of how to fit one properly and had to get me an appointment with one of the few specialists that still did. I was also unable to find a pharmacy that kept them in stock, and they had to order it in.

My then-partner and I used the pull-out method by itself for about a year and a half, occasionally supplementing with condoms, and experienced no problems or scares. It's effective if done right (ie the guy has peed at some point since he last ejaculated to kill sperm left in urethra, and he actually pulls out on…

Yup - I learned my lesson and spent that weekend creating new passwords for everything.

I was under the (apparently false!) impression that your point assumed that most vegans weren't already/couldn't be doing both of these things. Apologies for jumping to conclusions.

Yup. I just feel guilty. And maternal. Not hot.

Pretty much. And I hate to come off as anti-porn, because I think that people should get to enjoy whatever they enjoy, but seriously? Making sure that everyone is actually an adult and actually a willing participant (in the porn-distribution and not just the sex-act depicted) is pretty basic. It's not even about being…

I think that it depends on how they define their vegetarianism (I mean, some people eat chicken and still consider themselves veg), but I think that "no animals" (whether mammal or insect) is a pretty common definition; many vegetarians would therefore not want to eat insects.

Yes, of course - most vegans and vegetarians I know are perfectly aware that we are lucky to be in a position to worry about the ethical and environmental implications of our food choices (because that means having food and choices!).
