My dad is one of those listeners. My husband is in the military. Whenever he brings up birth control and how he shouldn't pay for it I simply remind him that he is already paying for millions of women's birth control via the military, including my own. I then make it even more personal and say how his tax dollars are

I'm still baffled that this man managed to convince three separate women to fucking marry* him.

He's pretty strongly anti-choice:

I went to the deli on Halloween to get a sandwich for lunch, and ended up with order number 666. I ate that sandwich, and it was delicious.

I feel like God's got a better handle on life than that.

You know, I thought that keeping kosher was meaningless until a friend of mine told me that it brings a mindfulness to every meal. It forces you to think about what you eat, where it comes from, and your dependence on it. By bringing a religious and ethical aspect to a mundane, daily thing, it further integrates

Yeah, I don't really get this one. If a Muslim girl wanted to run with her hair covered, and they wouldn't let her, you'd think the site would support that. Not because needing to have your hair covered is an intrinsically worthwhile and sensible thing, but because people get to decide what their own religious beliefs

So, what's the point here? This isn't the case of a religious person trying to instill their values on other people. She's not writing legislation. As far as I can tell, the only effect of her actions is on herself.

This isn't any sort of activism; you're just being a bully.

I think this article is being a little too harsh on her. She's really young and has her whole life to discover what "taking faith too far" means. She made a decision and she's sticking by it. I think we have bigger things to worry about when it comes to America's youth.

Darlene Connor-esque.

And with him out of the picture, we can make sure that sucking remains legal.

Woop woop! VA voter here! See ya never, Cooch. Sucks to suck.

Not only is your comment anecdotally killer, but I am practically laugh-crying with glee at your username.

He nails it. This is how children learn it's OK to be horrible to other people. Think about that next time one of them is horrible and you complain about it.

Me too! As you say, really not the point of the story, but also way too adorable not to comment on.

Not entirely relevant , but I really love her freckles!

The teacher should be fired.

The little girl who said, "It's okay" through tears was the hardest one to watch for me. That was me as a kid, and I have spent a lot of time not speaking up when I should and allowing myself to get the wrong end of the stick too many times.

co-signed. A little good-natured teasing? Cool. Putting them on Roombas? Awesome. But making them cry? Nope.

I strongly disapprove of parents emotionally torturing their children for entertainment.
