oh definitely. those refugee babies know hardships that most americans will never even dream of knowing.

Because these refugees would be a lot safer elsewhere, that’s why. They’d also have an easier time assimilating in a place like NYC, where they can see a multitude of other cultures, including their own (again, I do realize NYC is probably just too expensive). Instead, all they’ll encounter in Idaho is hostility and…

And we know those kids must know a lot more than the kids in America of that age.

I was enlisted back in the 90s and you didn’t get to touch a weapon outside of tightly controlled circumstances. All ammo was painstakingly accounted for each and every time you went to the rifle range or on guard duty. There was no fucking around. Because an M-16 is a deadly weapon of war. No one, and I mean no one,…

Your point on general attitude concerning child services rings a bit true. Wasn’t this the state where a judge was accepting bribes to send kids to juvenile detention? Why yes. Yes it was.

While I agree, factory farming is a horror and should be known and stopped, she can not be a vegan and still care about stopping puppy mills.

My parents neighbor used to foster dogs. All of the dogs came from puppy mills in Lancaster County. One dog she got was from a litter that lived in an abandoned car the mill owner used as a kennel. Female dogs would be bred constantly to produce one litter after another.

It’s really easy to ignore or even justify all the icky details of something like this. Hell, just yesterday I heard my mother making excuses for one cousin who (as an adult) molested another cousin (8-9 at the time I think). She didn’t think it was right that the victim wants nothing to do with the guy and they…

I’ve read they were former Amish. The Amish are very big in the puppy mill racket as well as exotic animal trade. I’m thinking it has a lot to do with the ol’ “God made humans above all other living things” Bible-y type crap.

Unfortunately, the Amish community houses a large percentage of the worst and most horrific puppy mills in the country, so it’s almost certainly more of an Amish thing than a serial killer thing (though the Amish community has also had massive problems with ignoring and covering up rape and sexual abuse, so probably…

no one helped her to her feet.

It is super stressful to watch. My boyfriend’s mother has actually said “Trump has a point - if we let all those Muslim refugees move here, they are going to start breeding!” A shockingly crude way of saying “I don’t want a Muslim community taking root in my central Florida retirement community.”

I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna be able to deal with this. Trump was here in Dallas yesterday; I watched a video on Twitter of his supporters chanting “BUILD THE WALL” at the rally. I’ve known all along that racist people are all around me, but watching that video just made me so fucking angry. To know that it…

I am married 11 years now. We’re not big sexters, never have been. Still, a picture of my boobs (snapped by him, giggling, while I was in the shower) from maybe 2008 floated by on our TV screen the other day because my Apple TV found it buried in an old folder. I mean even with the least of bad intentions, shit…

I refuse to take pictures of myself. I trust my boyfriend implicitly, but I would be too worried of my phone getting stolen / hacked. Also, just from a philosophical standpoint, no “courting” activity better sums up the double standard between men and women. Men send dick pics without being asked, “showing off” what…

Me either. I have always gone by the rule that if a child is young enough to where they will always be with another adult (parent, babysitter, teacher etc) then honestly there is no reason for them to have their own phone. A tablet to play games on at home is one thing, but a phone for them to carry at all times is…

I don’t think that’s an equivalent comparison. Men and women can have and enjoy sex for decades after age 60. Sex doesn’t only happen for the sole purpose of recreation.
