Sure, his family can pay reparations to their descendants. The Spanish can pay back everyone descended from their slaves. Then the families of Roman slave holders can pay reparations to me and mine. Every civilization prior to industrialization has engaged in slavery or near-enough-to-be in their history. Let it…

I don't see how people who had nothing to do with the situation besides the accident of birth should be responsible. I don't think that having bad family members makes you guilty. Then again, I'm not a fan of the concept of collective guilt in most situations.

We gave you a cute, respectful singer from Stratford, Ontario, and look what you Americans did to him. You broke him, you keep him.

I have to say, I don't think a 14 year old is an adult, no matter what they do. I'm sure many disagree with me...but children tried as adults never sits well with me.

Since when do we gloat at someone's pain? Or mock their family? Seriously, that's pretty low.

You're kind of downplaying what Spitzer did, though. The investigation into him started when large amounts of money were being moved into and out of his bank accounts, and he was suspected of either money laundering, bribery, or blackmail. That's why the IRS/FBI began investigating.

I have always had female gynos, and frankly I'm a bit weirded out by men who choose this profession. I don't know what the male:female ratio is within the gynecological community, but I seem to hear about abuse from male gynocologists far too often.

I would've. He was normally sitting around with his thumb up his ass while she got 6 babies changed, dressed, and out the door. She's no peach, personality-wise, but their original show should've been called Kate + 9.

I was there and it was awesome. Nadler talked about how many states lack protections for pregnant women, and examples of women being fired for requesting reasonable accommodations. Franks just talked about innocent lives and how many loving mothers had those special moments that mother have with their children…

How come none of these religious institutions ever have a problem with providing unmarried men access to Viagra and Cialis through their insurance?

I know that this is probably going to get me a lot of flack (and I should say that while I am a practicing Christian, I only take the words that are actually attributed to Christ as 'Gospel' and leaven the rest with a good dose of salt - politics and privilege have always existed! So have editors!) but you can always…

Is it possible to call into question the appropriateness of the style of dancing without going after somebody's gender or sexual orientation? Personally, I wouldn't think it age appropriate to include sexy female dancers or a similar cheerleader style act at a Christmas parade either. Sorry call me traditional but…

Funny how nobody demands of men the shit they demand of women. You act like women have not been savaged by black and white men alike in their chummy view that women lie about rape.

Fragmented memory is also a symptom of trauma - like, say, from being raped. Police interviewing techniques focus on getting a linear timeline and key facts, but this is actually a horrible technique for trauma victims, not only because they tend to have trouble coming up with linear memories but because it can put…

I currently watch Days, Y&R and GH, and I think that is true still today. There are scenes where there are only men, but it seems there are equal scenes of only women. I also don't NOTICE this as a problem on Grey's Anatomy, but I am not as confident about that assertion as I am about daytime soaps.

For many years I was a huge soap opera fan (GH, my dirty little secret!), and all my educated friends kind of looked down on me, but I think that in soap operas women had more parity. They drove the story lines, and many had careers beyond mother and housewife (and they showed that too), and they were half of the…

Oh, for fuck's sake. He literally said that he COPED BY EATING PIE.

I took Adderall because of ADD and it turned me into a complete rage monster. Anytime that I miss it I just look at my kids and know that I could never do that to them again.

Only when the whatever they're riding is full, I think. There are creepy men who will sit next to a woman on an empty bus so whenever the bus is empty I think it's totally acceptable to put a bag/whatever on the seat next to mine.
