All right, your first point is entirely valid. I should have been a more thorough Googler.

If the Redskins name offended enough people that they made less money, I am sure it would change very fast, but, that hasn't happened yet, and in my opinion never will.

Not weird. I'm nearly thirty and in the same boat, with one exception in that I've been kissed once and it was like having a small octopus surgically attach itself to my face for five minutes. That was 7 years ago and I haven't wanted to be kissed since. Last week a different guy tried to kiss me while I was having a…

Thanks!

It's very distressing for me to go into my kitchens and I hear what these young people are calling each other. It's very very distressing.

Tiny blue running guy is making me so happy.

I was going to go to bed. Then it seemed like it was over. Then West and Watson stepped in. Two hours later, I am wide awake and my Wednesday productivity is ruined.

It's after midnight. Did we win?

What is happening right now? Is it over? Are there 5 minutes left? I am sooooo tense/confused!

As the article says, this is going to be extremely difficult for them to enforce, but I'm glad they're at least willing to acknowledge that it's a problem and take measures to punish soldiers who rape civilians and enemy combatants. Meanwhile, in the US we're still trying to get our own soldiers not to rape people…

Beep.

Was coming down here to say the same thing. "It's not racist if I'm afraid to say it in front of black people!" is all kinds of stupid. Also: Someone who made a fortune off of vampire books ought to have a better idea what a crucifixion looks like.

According to the GOP, the answers in order are:

I'm of two minds on this. I think you're right that the people who deny R/I exemptions at least actually believe the fetus has a soul; they're consistent in believing that the fetus is a life more valuable than the wishes/safety of the woman carrying it. The rest are just hypocrites.

Email sent. Thanks for the suggestion!

I can tell from your response that you didn't mean to be insensitive. And I wholeheartedly agree that it should be possible to criticize the way we mandate the use of AA without criticizing the people who choose to use it & benefit from it. I'm all for criticizing the government. My objection was to your tone, which…
