While I agree with most of your points, I’m glad he wrote this. This blog helps make non-military people a little more aware about the military in its current state. Most of us view the US military as this huge and unstoppable force that is massively over funded and has to be constantly restrained to keep it from…

This is a great comment. I have a family member who made a false rape allegation in the sixties to cover up a pregnancy. You describe perfectly the atmosphere that led to her decisions. That, and she was bi-polar. Her mental illness has always been blamed for this massive drama that tore apart my family, but I have…

I thought aspartame’s big evil was that if filled your brain with formaldehyde, not that it caused cancer?? Your article does nothing to address my diet salesman-induced nightmares.

This is an interesting story, especially considering all the Chinese army had gone through up to that point. The Long March and their take over of Tibet are two that come to mind. They really suffered a lot and it’s amazing that more didn’t decide to press on in the opposite direction. I’m currently reading Ha Jin’s Wa…

I don’t know. She would expect good conversation, rational thought, and to be treated like an equal person. I’ll bet lots of those men surveyed would be very unhappy with her.

Also, it really bothered me that the unhappiest male was the one with an older wife.

I do that. *Hangs head in shame*
I live by myself so it only annoys me, and I can’t tell you why do it. I’m working on this vague theory right now that it has something to do with me being a “visual” person. I got this idea from a decorating magazine quiz about how to discover your organisational needs. Anyway, I…

I gotta look this up. I have the southerner’s usual ignorance/awe of the Great Lakes. No idea how big they are or how they are used by commerce and government.

But isn’t the partying lifestyle a contributing factor in this young person’s death? Or is this a joke that I’m not catching? My apologies if that’s the case.

Stop telling women what to do. And the opinions of men don’t have anything to do with her(or his) statement of shock at his treatment by the courts.

“Abusive parents — mothers and fathers — fight for parental rights all the time as a means of control.”
This is something I wish more people understood. Thank you for saying it.

I was someone who was between two terrible parents and who stopped going to see my dad when I was 15. This case was what I imagined might happen to me as a result of decision to keep myself safe. My dad threatened this kind of thing against me but never got a judge like this thankfully. Anyway, I hope their mom is a…

This is the best thing I’ve ever heard about Australia. Thank you!

This is really distressing because it seems as though your cousin listens to con artists like this faker. Like she really believes in them. How sad.

No, it’s where they’re filming the next XFiles season. Also, don’t they need special hangars to film the faked moonwalks? That stuff gets complicated.

Yes, I agree. Though I don’t know enough about their prior clashes to have any real opinion on what land or other assets they want from each other. I do, however, believe their alliance is predicated on a desire to gain primacy in world affairs over the west. Mostly to secure oil, etc. I think they both know their…

Putin might be more modern than we think in some respects. He’s providing an excellent distraction while China sets up in the South China Sea. The two are more allies than enemies it seems these days. Perhaps that’s coincidence, but I rather doubt it.

Aww, come on now. I bet he’s a little sweetheart.

What the hell is he trying to say? I find it hard to believe she looked super bad. Wall Street? Living single and having friends in NYC? I bet she was wearing Prada. I feel like sometimes men condemn super fashionable ladies because we aren’t half-naked. A lot of high fashion covers the body. It’s about structure and…

I have two elderly cats that I pill every twelve hours. It is totally doable. He has the money to get a tech to come in so his wife doesn’t have to touch the icky cat, or they have to travel for work.
I really wish Jackson Galaxy or someone else would do a show about how to live with a chronically ill pet. Because if…
