Oh yeah I hate that statement. I shoveled the walk yesterday morning at 5:50am while he was in the shower and when I came in he was like "you didn't have to do that..." and I almost blew my fucking top.

Mine says that too. "You didn't have to do that." Bullsheeeeet.

I hate "why don't you just tell me what chores to doooo?" with the fire of a thousand suns. A couple might have to talk and compromise about what chores make a house clean, especially if one person is neater than the other, but at no point should one partner be expected to make chore assignments for the other partner…

I had a live-in boyfriend for a while. He works like 15 hours a week and more often at night while I'm a 9-5er too (45-50 hrs a week more like). I'd always get so upset coming home after working 9 hours to a fucking wreck with his shit everywhere and mud caked on my SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ORIGINAL HARDWOODS. After he…

Any excuse to link to Pat Mainardi's Politics of Housework. Read it, you'll like it. An excerpt:

I quit Girl Scouts when they started giving me the cold shoulder for a perfectly legitimate question- Do I have to say "grace?" Because I don't believe in God. I thought Carolyn's mom was going to snatch the cookie right out of my hands.

I have to agree, this wasn't quite the grossest thing I've ever read or experienced, but then, I'm a nurse with great experience in Interventional Proctology. But as first efforts go, it's not bad. Here's a pro tip for all: don't dig in your pooper with your fingers on a daily basis. It leads to prolapse of the anus.…

I honestly just feel sorry for this woman, because she's lost something beautiful, but she's too limited to ever really know it.

Having respect for others is ideally what we should all strive for in this world

Lords of Kobol forbid you break a rule laid out by an imaginary skydaddy.

They easily get over the beheading of innocent people and the killing of students so

I agree that what she did is inexcusable - what I have a problem with however is that religious folks around the world disrespect the values and traditions of others "because they aren't religious" and for a wide range of other excuses.

Im with you 99%!

Why should cultural sensitivity have to mean submissively yielding to all of the little 'rules' of the culture (or the culture's dominant religion) you're in, even if you're not a member? Should religious rules trump individual rights? Respect doesn't require obedience.

Respecting others' religious rights does not have to mean submitting to all the rules of that religion. If she had shown up to a church or an american jehovah's witnesses kingdom hall in jeans and a t-shirt, I doubt that people would be so outraged. And celebrity or citizen, nobody should be getting arrested for…

My partner has wondered aloud if these two were the authors of the infamous "Dear Prudence" incestous twin brothers letter.

As an atheist, I have to agree. I don't give a fuck what Selena Gomez did in a mosque so long as she didn't damage anything (ie. vandalism, graffiti, etc.). She jokingly showed an ankle and smiled. I'm certain the vast majority of Muslims don't give a damn.

Eh. I don't care about Selena Gomez' behavior. It wasn't like she fornicated in it. I mean, Muslims apparently get upset about everything nowadays according to all news articles.

I'm a very important person. I sell monogrammed coffee thermoses.

Yeah. I came away from a lot of my online dating experiences with a bad taste in my mouth, too. Also, a horrible feeling that there are some terrifying, awful men in the world that will in one breathe call you the most beautiful creature in the world, and then—when you fail to meet whatever demand/expectation they've…
