No, that's just bullshit. It's what people say when they don't know. "well they bought congressmen of course". Cigarettes are still legal because of marijuana. The government has seen how it is impossible to control the growth and distribution of marijuana, and tobacco be even harder to control. Every new smoking ban,…

Every local government that pulls this shit is just fleecing people for money. If smoking was really that bad for you it would be illegal. You'll notice none of these assholes who just want to help the poor smokers by taxing the shit out of them has the moral fortitude to ban the sale of cigarettes in their townships.

Just imagine everyone in that picture standing and giving the one-handed salute. That's what this looks like to me. Buncha shrieking chimps mindlessly following another shrieking chimp, but with really good balance.
BLEAH.

There's a wave of psycho Crossfitters beating off to this post right now in ignorantly ironic ecstasy.

I went back to work after 6 weeks and was fortunate to have a great nanny who, I am not embarrassed to say, helped "raise" my kids. She was with them at least 9 hours a day and taught them to wash their hands before meals, take off their shoes at the door, clear their plates after meals, do their homework before…

Excellent point on the socializing. My son is probably going to be an only child. So far, he is proving to be a very social little guy. Daycare provides ample opportunities for him to interact with kids his own age and adults.

Sure, my son's teachers "help" raise him. Which is why all parents should research and select a daycare very carefully - which is exactly what we did. However, we as his parents still have the greatest influence. We are the ones who set the example. We are the ones who take him to Church, teach him about love and…

Excuse me? No one else is raising my kid but myself and my husband. Just because a child goes to daycare does not mean the parents do not raise the child. Where are you getting this ridiculous idea? We are the ones still responsible for educating, feeding, clothing, and teaching my child.

Hypothetical children are way, way scarier than actual children.

I remember when Lady Gaga first came out and had fun, danceable music and her weird clothes and videos were a sort of a spectacle and an entertaining change of pace from the generic "in the club" video. She's so try-hard and not fun now.

I'm jealous of him. Thigh chafing is the devil's work.

I cheered out loud when she said she doesn't trust people who don't like desserts.

Can we be best friends???? I watched Elizabeth on a plane coming back from Paris, where I'd almost swooned (well, I did have mono at the time) in front of Holbein's portrait of Anne of Cleves—-I remember yelling to my 14 year old sister "someone died in part because of this portrait!!!"—-but it was watching that movie…

We truly are disgusting. Confession: every time the toilet gets plugged up, I slink away in shame to retrieve the plunger, feeling like a dog who just shit the floor.

It's like the Hunger Games. The Capitol wants a winner.

I'm all for historical accuracy - I really am - but you're absolutely right in that history is a LOT more interesting and complicated and 'shades of grey' than we are taught in US classrooms. And if making the story a little more sexy and soap-operaish is the way we need to reach modern society to spark interest in…

I am SO excited for this - I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE Ricardian (supporter of Richard III), have been since I was the age that the viewers this show is aimed at are now (did that sentence even make sense? since I was pretty young) and I know it's going to be soap-operaish and overwrought and probably hugely historically…

No, there's never any REAL moment on this shit of a show. Come on now.

I think my most serious ragestroke of the clothing-a-newborn period was the "Brave Like Daddy" onesie. O rly? Brave like Daddy? Not brave like the parent who incubated you in her own damn body for 9 months and then had you cut out of her abdomen while she was still conscious? Not brave like that? Fuck you, Carters.…

There is nothing sexy about anyone ever who walks barefoot in outside. RINGWORM, PEOPLE. FUCKING RINGWORM.
