It's at moments like these that I truly appreciate the Episcopal church I was raised in. We had a (not even near so serious) issue with on of our priests sort of loosing his mind (tried to excommunicate a congregant for becoming a non-denominational pastor so she could do prison ministry, messy divorce, hoarding…

There was a 50/50 split to those pressuring her to keep it and those pressuring her to abort actually. My impression on watching the pilot was that she had to step back from everybody yelling at her and make her own decision, which she did. At the moment her plan is to have the baby and give it up to the father (who…

I feel like this was less of a 'help the child learn' moment and more of a 'cover our asses' moment. Which is absolute crap. Public schools, gah. Rage face.

Yeah, but to be fair (I know, I know shouldn't make excuses) not only was this an altogether horrible relationship but it was also the 80s. I think he has proven a lot of very good character development since this incident? Maybe? Just let me love Hawkeye! (cries and runs out)

I don't know why I'm engaging buuuuut, here goes. So I was in a taxi cab one and the driver sexually assaulted me (wasn't in the U.S. so there was no divider). My first reaction wasn't 'get out of this car' it was scootch as far over as I could and 'whuuuuuu?' It wasn't until I was home, in my pajamas three hours…

I love your Robin love as I too have it but I have to dispute. Dick Grayson is my all time favorite hero (I know it's kind of weird). Dick Grayson for the win!

All the replies to this have been gold, but in an effort to be semi-serious. There are a lot of good things that frats and sororities do, especially in smaller schools. Some of them are completely charity driven, others academic. My brother in law founded the branch of the fraternity that he was in and it was one of…

Exactly.

Sorry about the snap. My anger is not directed at you. Just had to deal with this recently and it's a sore subject.

Then don't put the titles. Just put John Doe and Jane Smith. There ya go. Grammatically incorrect and you're not completely ignoring one party's right to exist on their own.

Oh my god Kate Mulgrew. Just. Wow. I don't know if I would like the dress so much if she wasn't rocking the shit out of it. Damn gurl.

That's my plan!

Great. There goes my day. I shall now have to make a mix cd for road trips and it will pretty much just be these songs. Except Something in Red. Because I just cannot handle that much early 90s keyboarding.

I would say just be straight forward about it. When you're doing it, why you're doing it (or at least a brief overview of why you're doing it, I understand that these things can often stem from a very private place) and then go from there. If you want them to call you something different realize that it will take a…

I guess it would depend on how he reacts to them. If he doesn't understand why this would upset you then probably a lost cause. But I also understand having friends that are awesome, but only really to you (unfortunately) so as long as he can recognize that his friends are pretty assholish and make time with you away…

I would also wear these. Admittedly I am female and have a tendency to wear sweats and no bra all day as I laze about my own house. They look like comfortable pants for not going outside. But yes, way too expensive and I'm pretty sure I could make them myself.

But not the stories of Esther, Vashti, Miriam, Judith, Yael, and all three Marys. All of which do seem to contradict the negative views of women in the Old Testament. The point of the whole Jesus thing was an overthrow of the traditional values which included gender roles. Yes after he died and his disciples started…

Not a christian here but I have read the bible and while there are some pretty messed up issues in it this guy is still pretty noooooope, as far as getting the point.

Yeah but he's married. A lesser quoted part of Genesis clearly states "lo' Eve was required to clean the toilets for eternity in punishment for her sin. And God quothe unto Adam 'pee freely and with wild abandon, for it is known, bitch had it coming'' or something like that.

Oh man, Professor Elemental. I love that man.
