I'm a woman and a Republican. I actually view many left wingers and much of the Democratic Party to be hostile, or at times, condescending, or harmful, towards women. I have traditional social values, which are not largely welcomed by the Democratic Party. There used to be conservative Democrats - the so-called "Blue…

I was under the impression that evolutionary psychology was not a real science and it should go the way of phrenology, cold fusion, and homeopathy.

From what I can tell, and I am no evolutionary scientist either, they are saying that the high rate of PMS heredity shows that it was selected for, i.e. women who PMS on the regular are more likely to choose a successful mate and produce more women with PMS.

Logic has no place here. Science and women—pish posh!

I'm no evolutionary scientist, but if women spent most of their days pregnant, and had almost no periods, couldn't PMS just be an accidental biological artifact that was never pruned through natural selection because it never had the chance to occur too often? Because while I can follow the logic of this theory, it…

That's not right. I grew up with hunting, and have memories of seeing a buck hanging by it's hind feet to the garage door, with blood dripping off its nose. It was definitely dead.

Yeah, flittery, jerky motions really set off their fight-or-flight response and though I don't know exactly how, they really do pick up on nervousness. But good on you for being there to do the just thing for that boa.

Your snake sounds really cool! I became the reluctant owner of a Brazilian Rainbow Boa several years ago. An old coworker of mine had her a filthy tank, bone dry, sitting in his living room. I mentioned how beautiful the snake was, and he said, "Do you want it?" I felt that I had to take her or else she would end up…

I inadvertently became a snake owner back in June of Rorschach, a stray high white banded California King Snake that is definitely not native to northern New York. The thing is, the feeder mice that my local pet shop keep alive for live feeding were already slated for live feeding, so one way or another besides…

omg. Panic at the cantina. Let's freak out some more, nerds.

now you've lost me. It's a mouse. That will be eaten. If you respect it, your snake would starve because you wouldn't kill it.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing that. Or at least believing it is the norm at food banks, or that they'd turn her away if a single woman showed up with four children and said, "I know your policy is two family members at a time, but I have no one to watch my kids." I imagine that most food banks are set up…

The article also goes on to say how the kids started playing near a road, in the water at the edge of a lake at the park, and climbing on a big concrete sign. Any of these kids could've been injured or even drowned. And the mother wasn't even somewhere where she couldn't have kids with her! She could've take them to…

While some shitty people own snakes, the vast majority of the herp community is made up of good people that don't own them just to seem cool.

I originally thought it read "erotic snakes," and was extremely disturbed.

I cannot comprehend what you are talking about. Nice photographs of poor people is not bad.

The way that the flag is creased in a regular pattern makes it seem like it's very likely a curtain to me.

Ever thought about there being a window behind it ? Then it would be correct
