No apology needed. As I say, it's what most people think. I was unemployed for a while. That is rough. But I made it through. And you will too.

That's the thing. I am not hurting. Well. when bad things happen, I hurt, but not generally. But yes, when you tell people this is how you really feel, they tend to think you are ready to jump off the next bridge. So usually, I don't mention it. I don't remember feeling any other way, though. But I guess I must have…

Yeah, it is hard to say where it tips over into mental illness. To me, I think it's normal not to want to exist. And yeah, probably if I didn't have people who love me, I could easily choose not to. Is that bad? Is that depression? I don't know. I guess I am in denial too. I just keep moving and hope it all works out.

"And social programs encouraging our best and brightest to donate sperm and reproduce while discouraging our unfit from breeding such as cash payouts for sterilizing violent criminals."

Yes, our schools have proven so good at tracking, identifying and nurturing talent so far. All the evidence would suggest there are no holes in your scheme, especially when overlaid with the junk science of eugenics. /end sarcasm

But you still don't tell us what happens to that unlikely child. Just leave him/her working in a coal mine because that is what the genetic information should have produced?

I am saying that with humans, even if there is hard science of genetic differences, it does not matter. Humans, because we have something else, a soul if you will, we are not, or we should not be, limited in what we can archive by our genes. If our genes told all or most of our story, perhaps there would be value in…

Because humans are the only species where we attempt to conclude from these differences that some genetic traits are superior to others. And because when we go down that road it starts to get ugly.

Yeah, I am not real clear on what you thought I was saying either or what Misty Copeland has to do with anything. Anyhoo, sorry someone called you and the women in your family fat. Good day.

I never said people shouldn't diet or exercise. You will not find that in my post. We were discussing the woman in the clip, who clearly is of a weight that is normally seen. I am sorry if you have been called fat, but that has not been my experience and my shape is much closer to the woman in the clip than to Gywneth…

Nah, most people from Louisiana are not proud of their state, but they are proud they got out. So mostly you let slide you're from Louisiana in various ways so people know you got out. And yeah, you can miss it.

I am soooooooooo glad I am not of a culture where that is considered fat. I feel so sorry for white women and Asian women on the weight issue.

Yeah, I mean if you are ballsy enough to beat Madonna and expect to get away with it, you are a stone-cold batterer.

Yeah, and when you hear about the domestic abuse in his real-life relationship, his schtick seems even less cute.

Jane Austen's last novel, which she left unfiinished, does have a mulatto character. It would have been interesting to see what she had planned for her.

Well, if we are going to go back to a feudal society, we might as well drink what the serfs drank.

Isn't this worse though? It's like you're never good enough, ladies. You have model looks? Well, where's your law degree and international portfolio of clients? You have a law degree, you say? Why all those split ends, and can't you wear heels every once in a while. Geez! And that's just to get engaged to a…

I try to imagine Angelina's life as existential hell. One moment she is lugging around all those kids and the next she wants to rip a head off a bat.

Yeah, you're led to believe somehow that most parts of the story are at least tangentially related to how he met the mother. But if Ted just stumbles upon the mother at a wedding reception, then what's the point? Maybe it has something to do with him being in aplace that he is finally ready, realizing Robin is not the…

Except that she's apparently expecting him to "do something desperate" so she can "win." If you're in a relationship, there's no need for the freeze out. If you're not, then why are you waiting for him to do something desperate? It all seems like a waste of time. If you care for someone, let them know. If they…
