I remember when Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow broke up and I thought it was such a shame. More and more, I am so happy for Sheryl Crow. What a douchey ass-face he turned out to be.

Fragmented memory is also a symptom of trauma - like, say, from being raped. Police interviewing techniques focus on getting a linear timeline and key facts, but this is actually a horrible technique for trauma victims, not only because they tend to have trouble coming up with linear memories but because it can put…

"You can't take facts and force them to fit some kind of political agenda."

I grew up thinking AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" was some kind of superhero western ballad about two guys named Dirty Steve and The Thunderchief.

Honestly, once someone says the wrong lyrics, I can't unhear them. The real lyrics are lost forever.

I replayed the "hurricane in France" one a bunch of times because I really could not hear it as anything else. The real lyrics are almost as dumb: "Even in a hurricane of frowns I know that we'll be safe and sound." I like the fake lyrics better.

I've commented about this a lot on the posts about this lady, and I completely agree.

Yeah, that's sort of the funny thing with me too: If I have kids, I'll most likely raise them at least some what Jewish(ish). Religious upbringings definitely =/= weird horrible cult-like brainwashing, whatever some of my friends would have you believe.

I hate to break it to you lanky, but you may very well be stupid.

Your analogies are awful. There is nothing in the original story that suggests that the Mormon girl tried to ban behavior she didn't like, only that she chose not to participate. There is also nothing in the original story that suggests she was somehow attempting to shame the people in the co-ed tent, and even if…

Depends. I'm Jewish and I love my social network, which received me and my family with open arms (and food!) every time we moved to a new state. I now live in Utah, though, and have seen former LDS members completely ravaged by the tight-knit social groups and pressure to remain one of the faithful- and what happens…

"Sleeping in the same tent as a boy makes me feel icky, so I'd like to make it clear that I'm better than the rest of you whoresluts who think it's okay."

This allows for a particularly nasty game of chicken, where a lazy person sits back and waits for their partner to give in and do all the cleaning. Sorry. Nope. Not a way that people who are worth staying in a relationship with behave. Pick your own chores that you'll actually do and make sure they're a fair share.

Some advice columnist (I'm forgetting who, sorry), said that partners should start with the idea that they should both have the same amount of free time in a week, and divide things up from there. If one person works 40 hours a week, then other person does 40 hours worth of whatever other responsibilities they jointly…

As a liberal Christian, these folks make me sick. The overarching command of the NT is to love God and love our neighbors. How does disparaging, insulting, and refusing to help the homeless fit into this overarching message? How does failing to love and care for our sisters and brothers even remotely fit into how a…

Actually, Christianity has been corrupted by centuries of power. It was about helping the poor and the underprivileged— and in some churches, it still is.

The thing is, that IS what christianity is about. I grew up in a christian home and community, and while I've moved away from it as an adult (in more ways than one), I certainly remember that, according to the bible, all laws and teaching can be summed up as "Love your neighbour as yourself". It's been corrupted…

Not only that — but one of the main tenets of being anti-tax and anti-government assistance is that private charity replaces government intervention.

I wonder why it is considered necessary to search specifically for a white rapper? To take a musical form created by Black people and specifically search for white people to perform it, at a time when hip hop is nothing but a fantastical caricature of Black ghetto life consumed primarily by white people feels…

This right here, this is a grimace. And it perfectly encapsulates how I feel about a show about white female rappers.
