I was also indoctrinated/raised in a crazy church/cult. And I was taught obsessively how to behave properly — not out of care, but as a way of trying to help my family not lose face if I misbehaved. Before I was five, I knew damn well that you didn’t touch or bother sleeping people unless you were trying to wake them,…

“Young teenager” is such bullshit, and the people using it as an excuse need to be screamed at. At 14, you can DRIVE, motherfucker. You are expected to know how to behave as a human being by that age.

The point is that fine gin is delicious and some people—like me—prefer not to take away from its deliciousness. The recent craft gin phenomenon is just wonderful! What are some of your favorite gins, I wonder?

This is a pretty good infographic. I’m not a snobbish drinker, but sometimes one likes high quality to offset all of the crap, so I like to visit places with skilled barkeeps.

Those of us who’ve experienced the fallout of molestation within religious families, back me up here. The religious institution will almost always take the side of the abuser, even elevate them as “forgiven by Jesus himself and is now saved,” and practically excommunicate the abused, especially if the victims are…

While the privacy/equality distinction is important, the fact the the fight for marriage equality is essentially a conservative demand should be factored in. Allowing new types of couples to access a traditional and widely revered form of union is a far cry from reproductive choice for women.

Thank you! And yes, it would be a new twist on “not here for the right reasons.”

One doesn’t need to have had sex with someone of the same sex to identify as bi. If you’re sexually attracted to males and females alike (for the purposes of simplicity I’ll just stick with the traditional binary crap in this comment), you can identify as bisexual even if you’ve only ever had sex with the opposite…

On behalf of so many ladies, let me just be the one to say the obvious, “awww, damn it”

What men! *swoons* *weeps over the low bar*

According to some study my mom told me about (that she probably made up), Carter and Truman were the only 20th century presidents who didn’t cheat on their wives. What a mensch!

Then how is he ready to make the tough decisions befitting a world leader?!?!?

People have already tried, and he won’t bite on that one.

I wish Jeb was around so they could have made him choose between his dad and his brother.

next question please

He’ll be gone by week 3.

There’s one dude whose worst date fear is that his date might eat his food.

I’d eat right off of his plate and then hate-fuck him. And I’d call him “Clint” the whole time.

Dude won’t last long... he’s kinda got that old guy look about him

SAME. I now feel so much better about my roommate getting me into the show. I have a lot of Bachelor-related shame.

God Ellie - thanks for this SO much - I am the shame of my family. At least Married at First Sight has a social experiment theme (so it's not as shameful)...
