Anyone seen "The Man who Planted Trees," based on a short story by Georges Bernanos? Similar art style. That was a pretty weird and gorgeous movie. Anyway, I like it already.

Because, frequently, going on medication *is* harmful? Especially when it is not the choice of the underage mentally ill person, but the decision of the parents of that mentally ill person, often at the expense of teaching their children other ways of managing? If you find that taking a pill, of your own free will,…

As someone who is currently on medications for OCD and depression, I am legitimately thankful my mom didn't succumb to the pressure from my teachers and doctors to medicate me as a child. Why? Because we still don't understand properly how antidepressants and other psychoactive medications affect children. As an…

As someone from SoCal, I'll happily say no. But then again, I'm answering a question that relates to me, so that's kind of narcissistic.

As far as I could tell when I had the misfortune to live in L.A., yes.

Definitely not all. I find Londoners equally bad.

Just the ones you met. Who are usually but not always from someplace that isn't southern California. The movie industry brings out the worst in people. THE WORST.

I live there, and the ratio may just be slightly higher in some areas- thanks Hollywood! Most of us are pretty ok though. I ravel for work a lot, and for the most part, it seems pretty equitable

I love the smell of complacency in the morning.

When the Patriot Act was first signed, I was telling my wife that the problem of giving people carte blanche to snoop on others would not be the higher ups who are closely watched but it would be rank and file agents who would eventually just get tempted to abuse their power. That is the way power abuse usually…

I'm delighted to be living in 1984.

HE'S A TRENDSETTER!

Spiky high heels and miniskirts, but not, like slutty high heels and miniskirts. Just average high heels and miniskirts.

I would not date him in a box, I would not date him as a fox.

I still don't buy he "accidentally" gave up his parental rights. I think he had no problem giving them up and refusing to pay child support when he thought his ex was going to be a single parent to their child. When he found out their child was put up for adoption, THEN he wanted her back. He stated multiple times…

I don't really disagree with any of that, since it all just amounts to be nice to people and treat them equally — stuff everyone agrees with, but many struggle to do in their day-to-day lives. But any man who needs Jezebel or NY magazine to tell them how to be a man should throw himself off a cliff.

I don't know how much you know about Richard Dawkins, but his response to complaints about things like that has generally been, "Be grateful you aren't circumcised like women in other countries!"

So, Mr. Smith, before you were stabbed were you wearing a shirt? When the knife pierced your chest did you specifically tell your attacker to stop? When he stabbed you the second time did you bother to say "No" in a firm clear voice? When you walked around being a jerk earlier in the day, weren't you pretty much…
