No they haven't. I went to Catholic school and was taught evolution. JPII said Darwin was correct in the 90's.

Nice to know that if a plane crashes into this one at least there will be a silver lining.

I'm actually not sure when/how the custom arose.

In many Asian countries it's considered common courtesy to wear a mask if you are sick or suspect you may be getting sick in order to prevent infecting others. Many people do this even if they only have a slight cold.

It doesn't seem like it would be too hard for restaurants that want to have a bottomless brunch to get around these laws.

Giant workers have a union. Safeway workers do not.

I agree that we'll have to adjust some of our current frameworks to make poly marriages work. However I don't see how "figuring this out will be difficult" is a good reason for denying consenting adults the right to marry.

Because consenting adults should be able to marry whoever they choose? Because marriage provides legal protection and the right to marry provides societal validation, both of which are important to many people?

So we can adjust the framework.

This is a super late response, but the view you articulated is exactly the view The Browns have expressed in their show.

Secondhand smoke is technically worse for you than actually smoking because of the lack of filter.

I have a lot of back problems and being forced to sit with my spine at an angle for 6 hours because another passenger is occupying part of my seat causes searing pain that lingers for days.

Does anyone else still wince when they see a photo of the towers if they weren't expecting it?

I love Bare Traps. This pair is technically water resistant, but they've worked well for me through slush. $89.95 at DSW Link

I'm a feminist who believes polygamy should be legal. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult I don't care who you choose to marry.

Parents who make no attempts to keep their children from annoying other passengers are horrible, but equally terrible are people who turn into indignant assholes the moment they realize someone under the age of 16 will be on their plane. Get the hell over yourself.

But there is something people who can't fit in one seat can do about it: Pay for two seats.

Honestly? People who recline their seats as far back as they will go are the worst. I usually give a "screw you" kick or two when someone does it.

Just to present the flip side of this:
