    Thank you for your post, could not agree more.

    It's not about statistics, of course it is more likely for girls & young women to be raped ( although the stats that I've seen for women over 30 and under 50 are much higher than the ones you are citing). It's about law enforcement and others believing that it is possible and not attributing it to the victim's

    I have no words after reading this story. People can be sick and horrible.

    Not as funny as the old GAP girl skits (w/ Chris Farley, Adam Sandler etc), but having a pre-teen daughter, I can agree that the "ew" thing is dead-on.

    I view people who subscribe to these sexual economics theories (we are all bartering something blah blah blah) as losers who can't have normal or healthy relationships with the opposite sex. Imagine this: just like many of us have same-sex friends, some men and women actually LIKE each other, spending time with each

    You must be drinking spoiled milk then. Skim milk tastes like milk flavored water.

    Totally agree! Have been saying this for years. I eat and cook with butter, only use whole milk, and never buy any dairy (yogurt or cheese) that is non or low fat. My weight is the same as it was when I was in high school (and I'm 38 now) and my cholesterol levels are perfect. Friends and family have scolded me

    Do conservative men think that women's "biological reality" of getting pregnant, giving birth, and caring for children does not benefit them? I'm really perplexed here at the way men view reproduction and childcare as if it has no effect on or benefit to them. Do men not benefit when women have and take care of

    EXACTLY. The "I love women" argument in response to being accused of being sexist or misogynist is just such garbage.

    I agree, it doesn't bother me to work out and not shower. I sweat, dry off, and then go about my business without a shower. (Sweat itself does not smell.) As long as I put on deoderant in the morning, I don't smell.

    While this is unfair, cheerleading itself is asinine and annoying. Cheerleaders annoy me at every sporting event...all I really want is for them to sit down & shut up. If guys want to see half naked women jumping around, go to Hooters or a strip club after the game. I'm not saying it does not require skill, but I

    American Hustle was so-so at best. People just like seeing major Hollywood actresses shimmy around in barely any (1970s era) clothing and like to stamp it with major awards so that they don't feel guilty about it. We don't see Christian Bale or Bradley Cooper wearing g-strings in their films, now do we...

    Well of course, but people can have whatever relationships they like, I'm not against that. Practical or hypothetical issues aside, it's when you try to legalize polygamous relationships when things become complex. My point is that you cannot legalize these relationships or you'll end up with a horrific and tangled

    And another thing that is rarely examined - what if a woman, who is say the 4th wife of some moron, decides to marry 3 other men, and these 3 men marry 7 other women, and so on and so on. So we may all eventually be linked by marriage in some ridiculous tangled web of idiocy. This marriage model only works if it

    Well I would too, but major networks have yet to get what female viewers like and want. According to NBC, CBS and ABC (and even cable networks), we only watch Dance Mom and 2 Broke Girls.

    Let's ask for an honest answer from men - who support polygamy - about whether they TRULY support polygamy equally for men and women. My hunch is that most do not. It sounds sexy and fun if it's one guy with a harem, not so fun if it's a woman with 5 guys. As always, mainstream society finds this cute in Sister

    I do think EU policies are more fair, no argument there...but the US has a long tradition of exempting itself from doing much of anything that protects people in the name of individual and capitalistic freedoms (one being food additives, many are banned in the EU that are perfectly legal in the US). So none of this

    Correction, apparently one may be eligible for hotel & meal vouchers from EU airlines, but not compensation. It seems to depend on circumstances: http://europa.eu/youreurope/cit….

    First of all, you are all wrong. The rule in the EU is this: when an airline cancels a flight for reasons other than weather, passengers have the right to financial compensation, as fixed by current EU law.

    True, but the EU has not had as frequent weather disasters and airlines can absorb these things more easily. US airlines have a greater volume of passengers than EU ones as well. Hey listen, if you all like paying double the usual fare just so that an airline can maybe.. possibly.. someday.. give you a hotel
