Rush Limbaugh couldn't have written this better. The sucker set-up with antibiotic misuse, followed by a segue into a boasting list of how you acquired your (as Rush would call them) "sex supplies" and your abortion for free from yet another unnamed state? "Off from med school this semester" (really? Oh, of course,…

They're not "babies." Babies are the prepubescent Yazidi girls being sold and raped as sex slaves by the ISIS heroes that these pious muslimahs idolize. Screw "nuance" and call this what it is.

I am sorry :( TCM practitioners include acupuncturists, but also herbal medicine specialists who I've seen work wonders in some cases of chronic conditions that have poor or nonexistent medical treatments (hello, IBS! Shout out, CFS!) Given your cause it doesn't sound like even that would help . . . I wish it were…

This is going to sound left-field but have you considered seeing a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor? There are similar conditions to gastroparesis that I know can be at least mitigated by that approach in addition to medical treatment. A consult is usually not very expensive, too.

If we're not after their resources, we're after their guns.

Well, the "under 10 and in fear of their bodily safety" is a new addition/invention to your earlier (1/6) post, where you simply expressed frustration that a 30-year-old (like you) patricide didn't "earn" his cash and "stuff" the way you have to from your father.

Caitlyn Ricci must be pleased that she has a template for her wedding invitations.

Be careful what you ask for. Some of us get a curveball — COLD flashes. Like, you eat lunch and suddenly you are shivering so hard you can't type and every drop of energy has drained from your body like you're a sackful of sand with a hole poked in it. The only thing that helps is to pile comforters on like it's 30…

It's rather dubious that swapping a baby girl for a baby boy would work for very long, eh?

She was constructed in the basement of a frathouse.

There may be no mention of FGM anywhere in the Koran, but it is certainly discussed in the hadith. The hadith are statements and actions of the Muslim prophet reported by those who supposedly observed them, and some hadith (the "sahih," or "reliable") are regarded as nearly equivalent in theological force and…

AMEN. I forget which movie star it was who finally got a big studio contract and purportedly said something like, thank God, I NEVER have to put a dick in my mouth EVER AGAIN.

He's busy with the problem of ethics in game journalism. Sorry dude.

With these two involved, it's terrifying to imagine being the backup dancer that started this whole thing. I'd probably say "Fuck it" and go to pharmacy school or something.

It's a hadith, so the passage is pretty much self-contained. This story is one of many in various hadith collections where Mohammed orders people stoned to death.

Of the many sahih hadith (reports of Mohammed's behavior and sayings outside the Qu'ran, viewed as nearly equal in theological validity to the Qu'ran itself) about stonings, this one (sahih Bukhari, 8:82:809, see also 9:93:603) probably breaks my heart the most for its last line:

Look, he used "feminine" and not "female" and didn't say "hamster" or "resources" and only obliquely hinted about "logic," okay? Progress!

I did not say any theory was untrue. I said without evidence (which does not include generalized "statistics" in this specific case, however valid they are across a population), any theory has an equal footing.

But it's not "the system's" job to read minds when no-one involved reports the long-term, ongoing torture of a child. It can't be "the system's" job to "keep mother and children safe" when "the system" doesn't have any idea of the problem. There have been too many failures when there was notice, but this isn't one of…

What the hell did bakers ever do to anyone to deserve being the leading edge of the culture wars?
