The decision was the mother’s to make, not the doctor, because the medical procedure was (I’m assuming) being done on HER body. You cannot perform medical procedures on a person’s body without their consent, even if you think a child will die if you don’t do it. Society doesn’t require parents to donate blood, bone…

“So they had to redesign all the Cars so that they didn’t have doors” — but don’t the other cars all have doors anyway? I know Lightning doesn’t, because he’s a race car. But the others do, don’t they? (My son loves Cars, so I’ve seen it many times).

All animals need to wear pants, dammit! Has this country lost all sense of decency?

At the 3:50 mark, it looks like the “Daniels” character is in the place of Jesus.

There were some possible spoilers going around, so stop reading if you don’t want to see even potential/unproven spoilers —

I wouldn’t rule out smoking as contributing to heart attack/stroke. But as long as we’re speculating, I’m gonna throw in another potential culprit: energy drinks. Could he have been downing these to help stay awake? I think they are also bad for heart/blood pressure, like smoking. Also, a combination of things…

When I look at the original crew, I “see” regular people and not the actors who played them. When I look at this crew, I see actors who are trying to look like regular people. But maybe it will be different when we see them in motion and hear them speak . . . but I doubt it.

On the one hand, I would welcome an X-men movie that doesn’t make Jennifer Lawrence its center. But on the other hand, I think Sophie Turner is a poor actress and wish they would re-cast. So I guess I’m skipping this next one.

Yeah, he will continue talking out of both sides of his mouth like most other republicans. Criticize Trump enough that if Trump is ever sent to prison or whatever, he can remind voters that he said some words against Trump. Yet they will all support Trump’s politics where it counts — in actions — so that they can…

The addition of the unholy cat piece was the beginning of the Apocalypse.

The calendar decides. That’s about as “fair” (objective) as it gets. Otherwise, it’s subject to individual values.

I guess if some of this group really believes they must kill, I would invite them to begin by killing themselves. Because otherwise, I think they are stronger as a larger group.

Yeah, we can’t take liquids or gels in our carry-ons, but we’re not supposed to check them either . . . ?

A lot of old money live exclusively off of family trusts that were specifically written to protect the family from creditors and ex-spouses too.

My wife rarely wears her ring. When people ask, she usually says something like, “I keep forgetting where I put it.” Although I KNOW she knows where it is. All this time I figured she just was not a jewelry person. But after reading these posts, I have to wonder whether she’s setting it up so that IF she is ever…

Normally, I dislike lawsuits as a way to make a point, but I do think minorities should start suing (can they get to the individual employees and supervisors by way of a §1983 suit? That would be a great wake-up call).

“Doll”? Can I call them action figures?

Anyone who is anti-choice should post their contact information so that anyone who needs blood, bone marrow, a kidney, etc., can come and take some of theirs. Because — by their own argument — if another person needs to use your body to stay alive, you have no right to say “no.” And I actually do know people who…

Thank you for the link to the teslaparkinglot. I was having a miserable day, and those photos just made me laugh. The bad parking. The Miata with the flames on the hood = the ugliest thing I’ve seen in maybe forever. Thank you.

I know Disney likes to call her one, but there’s nothing in the movie that says she’s a princess. But I guess a girl can’t be important unless she’s a “princess.”
