This is EXACTLY why I no longer identify with christian. These people are the definition of ignorance. And they are SO PROUD of their stupidity! That is what makes me the angriest.

My library card is on my key chain....

Hey, FREE SPEECH has to do with the GOVERNMENT infringing on my right to say whatever I want. Now listen carefully, it does NOT mean my ability to say whatever I want WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES! Generally in a workplace without teenaged mentality little boys, people get fired for creating a hostile workplace. Now maybe I…

Not even George Carlin was able to make a rape joke funny, and he tried. Sorry, hcrriii, but you are no George Carlin. Either are the rest of you who seen to find humor in rape. As Marcy stated "Sod off".

Great! I used to have a pension too! Lost it and a lot other stuff under Bush.

The humiliation was prior to the crowning. This was the up yours to the "mean girls" that started the cruelty.

I think that if we start protesting enough, with marches like this every weekend in different cities, MAYBE Boehner and the rest will start paying attention. I think the big story is the march, not whether 2 celebrities were there, welcome as they are.

This kind of thing makes me so furious. I am always amazed to see how many times women are marginalized. 40 years ago I had thought that by this time things would have changed: misogyny, racism, ignorance. But it seems to just be getting worse.

You are right. But think of the poor starving casinos.

You don't think that those massive casinos in Vegas were built with the House losing?

Sorry, in Vegas it will get you kicked out of the casinos.

Maybe. I never really blamed the booze. I was always more enraged by the societal aspects of who he admired and looked up to, his issues with his crazy family, it goes on and on. The actual booze (vodka or wine usually) was a thing, not an action, problem or thought. Living with an alcoholic is so conflicting. When…

As a DV survivor of an alcoholic husband, I see a difference.

Yes, DV and alcohol often go hand in hand. But ultimately it is the abuser that is at fault, not the alcohol, not the victim, not the someone's upbringing, just the abuser. Because we could find a lot of other excuses for the violence.

I think it's different when you have small children, grandchildren running around. When I was growing up, there just weren't many movies or TV shows that had girl as the hero. Maybe the wizard of Oz when it played once a year. I am so happy that my granddaughter has movies like this. (Only one grandchild so far. But…

Thank you! I'm going to play that every time I need a lift! I am one of those that love the song and I think they improved it! Well, they at least made me laugh.

I used to until I put a river rock floor in my shower.

Good luck! I have been an admirer of your writing!

Maybe, except I bet the women in that band are used to being excluded by the men in their very conservative religion. It may have been liberating for them in a way.

Totally different. I hope you're joking.
