I agree. My husband is a really huggy kind of guy, and sometimes gets rebuffed by others who are not. It's painful to watch. And it makes me wonder how much my very affectionate, sweet sons are going to experience that, as well. They can still hug and stuff without discrimination, being children, but for how much…

Normally, I'd say yes to that- living in a very LDS state, many news stories, etc., are slanted in such a way that one's thinking might be a bit different than the rest of the country, except for Utah...however, I've read Freakonomics, and personally have been living under the poverty line most of my life. I've not…

Yes, it is. My kids had one- they managed to cut it and get the "gooshy" stuff out of it, and planted the *$#%&*^$^%^! thing on the living room floor, where I had the pleasure of STEPPING ON IT IN MY BARE FEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Not only are they squishy, they're cold and nasty to the touch. It was not a good…

Why, WHY do Vimeo videos ALWAYS come through so jerky and crappy? WHY????

HA! I'd have to say "more seriously than here! That poor woman, and her poor daughter....what a fight to have to take on.

Yep! In fact, it's perfectly legal to film, photograph, or video ALL public servants- including police and sherriff's department employees- at whatever task they may be doing. Wish like hell someone would have gotten some video evidence- this woman deserves to be able to nail them to the wall for their conduct.

Yeah, don't worry- won't happen here!

Rather makes one wonder, how long will it be before one of the Hiveminded Vigilante groups takes it into their their hivemind to douche the douche...? This could make for some good clean family fun!

Betcha he won't be, after this. I understand they have some rules about personal conduct- he's hosed his options. For a BEACHBALL. If it wasn't so sad all 'round, I'd be laughing. What a total *insert vulgarity of the highest order here*.

What an utter douchebag! The pictures are worth a thousand douches.....

You, sir, have won the gold medal in Pure Awesomeness. I curtsy in your direction!

Yay! So glad that I'm not the only who remembers that movie! *Grinning*

Ah. So it's like the ancient Catholic concept of indulgences, but cheaper. Hmm. Not sure how I feel about this yet. Probably because I've never eaten Chick-Fil-A's food. Hard to be tempted to "sin" when you're blissfully unaware of its temptations.

As a future old person, and formerly a person who worked in geriatric care- I fully endorse this movie! Hooray for oldsters with guns!

You are both so brilliant- you should start an entire lingerie line together! Don't forget the self-defense bras!

I went through something similar during my first pregnancy. An overwhelming scent of green peppers, morning, noon, and night, which triggered serious nausea- CONSTANT nausea. It went away after my son was born, and didn't happen with our second child. I just thought it was a "pregnancy thing"- had no idea that it…

Yes. Just plain yes. And like the other commenters, I too wish that this could be said in the speechifyin' and such leading up to elections- it needs to be said, out loud, and in public. Would you consider running for office, mamie....?

My family and I are watching NBC's coverage. We all agree that Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer should be shot for their crap delivery, and we're hoping that they will never be allowed to cover an Olympics opening again for this country. Would that be legal in London? And is there a way to prevent them from ever covering…

And we would welcome them. We need reforms here, too, but so far, the voice of reason (even from self-proclaimed anti-abortion right-wing ladies) is still in control- maybe with their help, we could finally get our legislators to "add the words", and get protections for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual…

Precisely! It's like people saying that shopping at Walmart is supporting local economies- nope. Not really. A chunk of that cash always goes to corporate- ALWAYS. The percentage that stays behind is minimal. Every penny you spend in a corporate-type company has at least a decent percentage going straight to the top,…
