I know you guys keep trying to push this "fuck anything that moves" agenda for whatever reason. And if that's what you want, then by all means, keep doing what you do. But for some of us, monogamy is not some sort of restraining idea. I'm monogamous because I love the person I'm with and I honestly don't want to be…

Romantic or not, I'll take any argument for monogamy. Being called boring or frigid because you want one person is really insulting. I hate when evo-psych people cram the "we all can't help but want to do anything that moves/has variety" down people's throats as well. Some people are monogamous, some aren't, and I…

Re-explaining something is not a bad question. You were implying in your initial comment that everyone that asked "can you explain that again" are "way, way stupider" (to use the ironically incorrect grammar of the person you're replying to) that people of other generations. You were not talking about one particular…

This. Yes, it's terrible that there's a lot of people going into college who haven't learned what they should have already, but in a lot of cases I don't think that is their faults, and they certainly shouldn't just suck it up and keep silent. Unless what they're saying is a matter of students not paying proper…

isn't it terrible when you're a teacher and your students don't already know everything and you have to teach them things?

You can argue with the concept of infallibility all you want, it doesn't discount the fact that the original statement made about the Pope and infallibility was wrong. You're conflating two separate things here.

Right! Exactly. It's funny, as a nonbeliever I spend more time defending/clarifying aspects of Catholicism to other nonbelievers than actually being critical — among Catholics I'm more immediately critical because I know we're on the same page as far as what doctrines, practices, etc. mean.

You mean you didn't like the depth of "Love you like a love song"?

I'm not asking you to lower your standards. I wouldn't want to put the fat men of the world through that.

You're welcome!

that article you linked to doesn't even make any goddamn sense. I can't possibly understand why she would write it, or what purpose it serves.

Cedar point had an accident yesterday, but the park has been open for over 100 years and has never had a death on a ride, ever. I used to work there and it is very safe. You'll be hella fine.

Me :(

I certainly second the diverse fairies. I loved fairies as a kid (and mermaids).

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE. I actually gasped when I saw who wrote this article, as I LOVE Jenna's contributions to Jezebel. I read most of this article with sadness.

Nooooo! You can't leave!!!

If nothing else, this is incredibly timely.

The atheist narrative that all religion=Christianity is sooooooo annoying. It mostly seems as a reaction from people who were raised Christian and then became atheist. People I know who are raised in apathetic households who are now atheist as adults seem to have a better understanding of world religion, rather than…

The most destructive institution in the world right now, I would argue, is global capitalism and consumerism as it's understood. Some religions may deny that the planet is heating up, but it wasn't religion that caused it to heat up in the first place.

Nationalism's a phenomenally dogmatic ideology, and more responsible than that actual religion is in the deaths of the world wars and genocides of the 20th & 21st centuries. Marxism is known for its demand of exclusive ideological loyalty, and communist states and their explicit forbiddance of religion are considered…
