I had a discussion with someone I know about how I developed Aspergers. I listed a whole slew of reasons how I could have gotten it—my city's shit air quality when I was born, living close to a freeway, living next to a Superfund site, being poor, etc. (Studies demonstrate correlations between poor air quality,…

I don't want to hear about the ebil gubment reaching into your pocket when the vast majority of middle and working class Americans get more in tax refunds than they pay out.

Have the spambots showed up yet? Because I'd like to inform you of how I make eleventy billion dollars working from home and all I have to do is send emails. Visit www.eleventybilliondollars.com.ng and you'll have a bunch of money in no time.

I'm also uncomfortable with the idea of the state regulating what people can draw. I mean, guro is extremely unsettling and misogynistic, but I don't want the state cracking down on guro "artists." Sex crimes against children should be prosecuted to the fullest extent to the law, but I'm not sure where you could…

I doubt the fuck up parents that raise rapists, serial killers, wife beaters, child abusers, child molesters, and run of the mill thieves and criminals read mommy blogs.

When I first heard the story I thought the slur was going to be "mariposa" or "joto" or "punetero." We used puto/puta all the time in my predominantly-Xicano high school and never heard of the male prostitution connotation. It wouldn't make sense since the females called each other puta.

In what world do "ethics" and lying about the sexual history of a 12 year old go together in the same sentence? I know a lot of lawyers and they've never done any of that.

And when we Xicanos become the majority in this country you'll never stop bitching.

We have a local morning radio show host that insists that women are not funny, yet never ceases to invite female comics to the show so he can talk about how hot they are and how if he wasn't married he would jump their bones.

It sounds like this case and other DV cases that this police department has handled need to be investigated by the Justice Department.

I guess having a harem and expecting women to have telepathy to get laid doesn't count as traditional in America, but maybe among the shaykhs of the Taliban it is.

My grandmother was an atheist for a while (until she got cancer), and she would get in arguments with her Church of Christ friend who insisted that another friend and her life partner was going to hell.

Would you be ok with someone having sex with your family member's corpse? I mean, they're dead and all that.

This essentially says that pregnant, brain-dead women become property of the state who can dictate medical decisions with a lack of a living will.

I always HATE going to Louisiana. I go to Louisiana for work about four or five times a year, and go to a very small and corrupt parish. Whenever there is a sizable public event (which isn't that big because the parish is sparsely populated), the cops set up speed traps and screen people coming in from the city. …

All my friends in college were Muslims (in a commuter school, not much room for frat parties), so I didn't drink at all. I didn't even have a drink until I was 26 and out of college. I had a screwdriver once or twice a day every five days for two weeks and realized while I was drunk that I was an insufferable…

College students living with their parents and rich folks can afford to buy fair trade. The rest of us would need to choose between eating and buying fair trade clothes. Starving isn't fighting the plutocracy, it is ENFORCING it.

Cockroaches are only as dirty as their surroundings and what they eat. I say this with all sincerity and disgust in my heart, because the little turds scare me.

That's what happens when you have pro-Soviet leaders run your governments. But one could make the argument that the Sovietization of majority-Muslim countries has indirectly led to the rise of extremism, as we have seen in Central Asia. (They stomped on moderate Sufism leading to Wahhabists funding extremism in its…

The problem with Saddam is that he was flooding the market with oil from 1999-2001, leading to gas that was under a dollar per gallon in some locations of the US. (In a rural backwater of Texas pre-9/11 I saw gas at .73 cents a gallon.)
