I like that decision, a lot. It makes it clear that the ruling should (or at least could) be reversed if conditions change. I wish American legislators were capable of that kind of pragmatism.

Hopefully she'll get some help and support and feel better soon!
I've never had an issue with polys. Then again, I've never known a poly where the primary relationship wasn't MFM. Multiple women seems weird to me, possibly because I'm straight so it sounds like no. fun. at. all. In reality it seems like an awful lot of responsibility and the sort of thing that even if I'd tried it,…
I don't understand homosexuality - if you want to be with the same sex person WHY DO YOU NEED TO MARRY THEM AT ALL?
YOU don't understand polygamy. Why do you have to force your lack of understanding on other people? Many people who aren't gay don't understand same sex relationships. Should that mean they should be less tolerant?
I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here. But if it's a mutually consensual relationship, why are you…
Yes, but WHAT IF MY HAIR SMELLS? What I was saying is that nothing is actually dirty, but I still feel like I have to wash everything justincase.
Here's one idea— make the armrest on the window side movable. I fly a lot and while the shape of the plane allows for several more inches on the window seat side, you can't really use it because the big stationary armrest. It makes no sense to me.
Yep, I had a similar experience. There were two very large gentlemen seated next to each other, and literally could not fit into the two seats (it was a small, local flight, so there were two teeny seats on each side of the plane, all the way back). It was clearly embarrassing and unpleasant, and the flight…
Oh God, the sprawling dude is the WORST because he feels like he deserves the space he's stealing from me. "Sweet! I'm next to the little chick so I'll have more room to air out my nutsack!" Aaaand, now your thigh is pressed up against mine and I'm having heart palpitations. Tall and heavy people can't help the amount…
I don't generally karaoke, and the rare times I do, I sing "9 to 5". I would be thrilled to meet her. But then, Dolly Parton is a music legend and a fine person. Not an ill-educated insipid-voiced product whose former drug-dealer husband wears elephant-hide shoes.
My husband's father passed away just after Thanksgiving, and we had to fly from the west coast to New England for a week to make arrangements. I'm fat, my husband's rail-thin. I try to stick myself on the aisle so as not to completely inconvenience everyone. My husband and I are close, we don't mind a little enforced…
I will admit I just barely fit in the seats. I mean, it's a fact. But I confine myself to my seat and floor area, and I don't hog the armrest area (what I consider to be the flying neutral zone). When I inevitably get that sprawling dude — legs have to be open, arm has to be over the armrest and basically on my thigh,…
Oh hell yes — anytime my personal space is encroached on, especially space that I paid for!
I had a similar experience on an overseas flight. I was condemned to a middle seat between two large people. I'm trying to say this as diplomatically as possible: there wasn't room for me. These two people should have shared three seats, but they were forced to sit for 10 hours with another human squashed between…
The point I'm trying to make is that a regulatory agency has to step because at some point we're all going to be unable to squeeze into those seats. And the airline does have a duty to ensure the comfort of all its passengers instead of prioritizing profit all the time. That's the underlying theme here.
My entire family is obese. And, I'm not saying obese to be mean; I'm a doctor and they medically fit the criteria for obesity. I see the way that people look at them when we all board a plane together. Quite honestly the only thing that holds me back from slapping those judgmental assholes in the face is that I…
Nope - agreed. Totally arrogant move. What would have been great is if the people singing her song were doing it "ironically" because they hate her and were ridiculing her singing / dancing. The only thing that would have made it semi-ok is if she paid their tab afterwards. And still - total arrogance.
Am I the only person who does NOT believe that just being Beyoncé is not a good enough reason to crash my party? I would be pissed right off if Beyoncé just walked into my evening and made it hers.
ALL women have curves. All people have curves. For some bizarre reason we've twisted the term "curve" to mean something other than a curved line, which is lame. Human bodies are fun to draw because of all the curves, no matter what they're body type/weight/etc.

Some day, somebody's going to make an exhaustive tally of the amount of human suffering that could have been avoided if only MTV andVH1 had remained music video channels.
