Come on guys, the lawsuit isn’t trivial. We need to dismiss that myth that lawsuits against companies for things they didn’t directly cause are invalid.

What part of “it would be cool if we could develop the technology to prevent deadly and debilitating diseases before they happen” says “I support controlling the reproductive choices of others”?

As long as this is restricted to preempting actual disease and severe disability and remains fully optional then I see no problem here. Really and truly, I think this is amazing technology that should be explored.

I wouldn’t know. All of my food is sexy

Actually no, Steak and Shake (at least, the one I worked at) doesn’t use real ice cream for shakes. They use a special shake base. We had real ice cream, too, but it didn’t go in the shakes.

I can’t read these things. I just can’t. I’m very liberal, I hate guns and I’m not hugely into non fictional violence.

I will forever remember my Psych I professor’s advice on this:

My highschool friends (all single, myself as the exception) once talked about how they felt about a parent banning their child from having sex in their home. They thought it was an acceptable level of authority- I thought it was a HUGE breach of privacy and ridiculous in its unenforceability. I don't care if you OWN…

The worst - THE WORST THOUGH - thing about this is that the sex Ed I got served absolutely no useful purpose. We had two days out of five on abuse and STDs, so, I guess okay, but those were just about "these happen and this is why sex is terrible", not about resources. The others were on biology and pregnancy, I…

Wait, haven’t we known this for quite a while now? I’m sure I knew this

My point my be a little bit narrow, coming from someone with anxiety issues. Still, I'm in college now and every now and then, when I'm stressed about the future, it'll dawn on me that, wait a second, I'm actually doing great! It's just hard to focus on that sometimes.

I'm always so confused when I hear people my age (ish) being homophobic. I guess I'm in a bubble of decency, but to me it just seems so... Out of fashion? Like, beyond being wrong, it's just not cool to do. It's like hearing an elderly person complain/joke/whatever about "the damn Catholics" or the Irish. How is that…

What happens when the years where you first start really thinking about the job market are full of economic downturn. My highschool years were swimming with the idea that, no matter how well you might do (and I was a VERY competitive district, so you're never doing well enough) you might one day be completely screwed…

Reading the comments here is making me realise how SUPER DUPER EPIC GRATEFUL I should be for my guy, apparently. This has never been a problem for us. Like, the day I decided "yup, it's time to hit up that sausage on a stick" (we're each others' first partners) HE BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH!

Hahaa... I'm the boring kind of college student who legitimately has no sense of how do drugs, so thanks for the explanation.

The world of internships, in a nutshell. Just replace "exposure" with "experience"

I get the belt story. I remember having a discussion with someone on here once on this topic where she snidely criticized the use of words like "smack" or "thump" when I supposedly "really meant 'strike' or 'hit'".

This is kind of how I was raised, only without the general fear of my parents. Spanking was for when other punishments weren't working (not staying in my room when in time out, serious breaking or harming of things, snap out of a tantrum, etc). It NEVER hurt more than a second, and it was only ever once, just for…

Honestly, I feel the same way about mild corporal punishment as I do about eating meat. Sure, there might be tons of studies to show that everyone can and would be better for avoiding it entirely, but it's pretty ingrained and most people seem to be able to deal with it in a healthy way, so meh. As long as you're not…

This case is why I want the death penalty in the world. I am not a good enough person to think that any of these fucks deserve to live.
