I suppose you’re right although I am nearly certain my wife has had conversations of this nature with her already.

Really? I’m not doubting you, just hoping that’s an exaggeration.

Just spitballing here but....

So kind of OT but I wish someone would explain to me why the glorious Mrs. Carter drives wingnuts insane? Her voice is heavenly. I mean that almost literally. She can do soulful ballets but that voice can also product thunder and lightning when she wants to. She’s a better gospel singer than she is a pop star. She’s…

The NRA says this shooting is about terrorism (it’s more than likely not). What about the last one? Or the one before that? What about the next one? The NRA is a gun manufacture lobbying organization. They don’t care about anything or anyone else. They sell guns. Not directly of course but their every utterance…

“Stop them” is not really possible without killing them.

“The Islamic State has only one real rule that keeps captured female prisoners from being raped...”

Most organized religions aren’t much different than the mafia. They have a strict hierarchy handed down through generations and enforced through intimidation and violence. In spite of their rhetoric, their goal is and always has been making money. That unending river of cash is driven by vast armies of people who…

This is so sad. I wonder if German soldiers complained when the Jews didn’t offer them sandwiches? Did the slavers whine when they weren’t given free meals while capturing human beings, loading them on ships and eventually selling them to the highest bidder? Cops are some whiny motherfuckers. They are armed better…

So remind me, which euphemism replaced poindexter in our evolving lexicon?

Religious fanatics of all stripes have similar disconnects between what they do and what others, especially women, should be allowed to do. It's the same in Hasidic communities. The Shiksa goddess isn't a myth.

Yeah all that romanticism will disappear the first time their husband comes home and says "make me some rice bitch" only he says it with a rifle butt to the side of her head.

Wait, what? They ran out of goats to fuck?

Well, relationships are hard. My wife and I have been together for more than two thirds our lives. At one time or another, we've both been at the point where we were willing to go our separate ways but we always pull back at the last minute. I won't speak for her but for me, I can't imagine my life without her. …

Well, I wish you the best. Please take care of yourself first with regard to this.

They aren't responsible for the actions of their sister so many years ago. Mental illness can run in families, especially things like being bipolar and schizophrenia. As someone with a bit of expertise in this area, it's you you should be worried about. Secrets like this can be very unhealthy. Not trying to…

Wait, you kept this from your sisters? Do they know now, I mean now that your mother is no longer with us? I have brothers, not sisters. Me, I could never keep that from them. It would seem to me they would have a right to know.

Wow, that's a big one.

I'm Sicilian. There are things I will take to my grave. Let's leave it at that.
