That's what I don't get about this. If they really just cared about their child's wellbeing, they would not be doing what they are doing. The book, the TV appearances, the blog, none of it is helpful to him and a lot of it could be quite damaging. What are they trying to get out of it? Fame?

Yes, people that go out of their way to show to everyone how 'accepting' they are weird me out. Just love your kid and let them be what they want, you don't get a medal for that.

Agreed. Also, it seems kind of exploitative to be doing all this to point out how "special" your kid is. People that go out of their way to make sure everyone knows how accepting they are weird me out.

Maybe they're just covering their asses so female astronauts don't sue them when they end up with cancer.

So... this is interesting and all, but if NASA was sending men and women on the same number of missions wouldn't people we yelling about how they are sexist by giving lady astronauts cancer? Seems like a lose-lose situation.

Yep, I have a relative who contracted HIV 30 years ago and is still pretty much asymptomatic with the help of a lot of drugs. I know there is some outrage now because it is still quite deadly if you don't have access to the (often expensive) treatments. In first world countries people don't tend to hear too much…

Not to say that it isn't a serious thing, but the disability adjusted life years for HIV/AIDS in the US is something like 5-8. That means that, on average, you will only have 5-8 years of significant disability or lowered life expectancy compared to an uninfected person. Again, that isn't great, but it is much less…

Being a woman is a pre-existing condition. Insurance companies can't charge more for that, go ObamaCare! Otherwise I would be worried this might get some traction.

Companies wouldn't be hiring all these interns if they weren't getting something out of it. They realize that the money is the bottom line. If they are better off having the interns then not having them, then they should pay them MONEY in compensation for that. Everyone gets experience all the time at every job,…

This seems overly broad though. It could be a professor in a whole different department whom you have never taken classes with and it would still be outlawed.

That seems kind of extreme. What if it's a professor in a whole different department or something? Somebody who doesn't have any authority over you.

Too bad that's never going to happen just because all the ingredients in the bean burrito are non-perishable and all the ingredients in the salad are. It is unfortunate, but eating healthy costs more and it is probably always going to.

Wow the world is officially upside down and we have started womansplaining...

That makes no sense. If that was the point of it, then it failed horribly because everybody still masturbates. I was circumcised and it effected masturbation literally not at all.

I always consider them the same as potato chips, but they taste a lot better.

What did you expect them to do if he wasn't a student at the school? You should be disappointed in law enforcement in that case.

Yes, that is the reason that zoo's are bad for animals, because of the artificial sweetener... lol

I think you know how I feel about this.

Well that's jacked up, isn't that against some kind of law? Nice that it is now any age though.

Oh weird, I never had them ask anything. I read some more and I guess they just approved it OTC for all ages and it used to be 17+, that's the difference I suppose.
