Erm, sorry, not trying to be an obnoxious pedant, but "airman" -is- actually gender and (theoretically, but less so in practice) rank neutral. All airmen are Airmen, ya know? And yes, perhaps "airperson" would be more politically correct, but the term did originate in the 40's, and we do so like to cling to our…

When you put it this way, it just makes *so much sense.* Even if you think abortion is ending a human life, you cannot legally compel someone to undergo a medical procedure to save a life. Not even a blood transfusion.

Well, let's just starting calling Senator Martin a kidney host.

This article sums up why, as a female Army officer and a feminist, I get so frustrated with Jezebel's military coverage. Do you have any staff members who have actually served? Would you consider hiring one? Because right now it seems to be impossible for you to write about female service members without insulting…

I know that I would never pay good money to have someone bellowing at me and then snidely implying that I didn't try hard enough (or "modify our poses" or whatnot). That said, I can see how some people would use that as motivation...whereas for me, it would just piss me off and make me want to hurt someone.

"Why didn't you just be quiet when I asked you," says the mom who hit her child.

It amazed me that these tabloids declare people pregnant with such certainty. I mean, we will look back and see that it was all bullshit.

"another Call of Duty, but with a steampunk/horrir aspect." lol i worry about the future of gaming with people like you around.

Yeah I have to agree with you on this one. I'm sorry, destroying countless historical artifacts is utterly infuriating. You don't buy or hunt it anymore correct? Then great! But destroying part of your heritage and family/countries histories because it's disgraceful and wrong now is beyond me, Two wrongs don't make a…

I believe that every parent who is considering not vaccinating their child should be required to spend an afternoon in a health class looking at pictures of children in iron lungs, with accompanying narration by people who lived through the polio crisis and saw their lives changed by the Salk vaccine. Then they should…

I was going to make the same comment. She's like a time capsule to 2004. Things are going to get really interesting in 2084.

No no no! Destroying works of art and artifacts of the past because you find them morally questionable is not ok! Ivory pieces will be a lasting artifact of the history behind them- how life was lived, what the ethics of the day were, British colonialism, etc. By all means, no more ivory in the future, and hell, you…

I used to be a big fan of Jo Brand, tho living stateside means I don't get a lot of chances to see her. However, I remember seeing her on The Graham Norton Show and thinking, "Is she just making fat jokes?" Her delivery is great but it seemed like half of her laugh lines were variants on "I could have stayed home and…

Sometimes words are used in ways you may not have heard yet.

I'm glad BBC recognizes the problem but this will just create resentment rather than foster meaningful discussion.

It is often used in a totally neutral manner.

I have heard it used neutrally very often. When the last child leaves home, whether that is wistful or not, the parent(s) left behind is/are an empty-nester.

I am a super happy and proud Empty Nester! I've raised my kids, they're out doing well on their own, and I have the whole house to myself.

How do you detect turkey aggression? Now I'm dying to know!

Tracy, you might want to note in your article that Woody also sent Mia a Valentine that year. He was trying to get back together with her and even including proposing marriage. Imagine that mindfucking manipulation. You'll find the below quote on page 7 of the linked VF article:
