Because everything is risky. Driving is risky. Walking is risky. Living a normal life is risky. Your argument is that this seems riskier than other things, not just you would never do anything risky, because I bet if you were pregnant you wouldn't just lie in bed for 9 months doing nothing because moving presents more…

You're right. Unless things are 100% perfect, there's absolutely nothing good or worth celebrating about them.

I want to thank you for replying to this ignorant bigot, and lifting his comment from the gray section, where it could have died without anyone noticing, to a place where everyone has to see it. There is a reason why people say 'dont feed the trolls'. This is why.

WHO VALIDATED THE FUCKWIT?

You say "Actually" as though the statements that follow are fact rather than opinions.

Honestly? I think my response was kind of provoked by the fact that mine is too. An A- is never okay, no life choice left unquestioned, that kind of thing. But...like...I'm not Tim Gunn. It's sad but I guess not surprising that even a child who's by most objective definitions very successful can't even make it stop.

I am no psychologist, but I have done a fair deal of reading on MPB. The example you stated doesn't even seem on the spectrum. And also, from what I have read, MPB is considered more child abuse than a mental disorder by professionals. Check out Marc Feldman. He is a leader in the studies of factitious disorders…

Um, OBVIOUSLY you train your dog to eat spiders! That is the clear solution to this problem.

Agreed, eyeeyeeyeroll!

Huh. It would be a boner-killer for me if someone corrected my grammar while speaking. I'm a professional editor - as in, that's my full-time day job - but I give a major pass on grammar while speaking. You can't really proofread what comes out of your mouth, and people make mistakes (even when they know the correct…

I come from a family of non-readers. Both of my parents speak English as a second language and my father is borderline illiterate. My mother is a forgeign language teacher so she has no excuse. She maybe has 3 or 4 books on her religion du jour lying around, but that's it. One of the few things that kept me from…

the professor didn't present it as infallible sciencetific proof of personality, but he covered it pretty extensively and did not make it clear to the students that no part of it was true. he also presented freudian theory as though it were still considered to be the cutting edge of psychology and got really upset…

That's too funny. Jaspurr will only play with the pipe cleaners, too. I present Jaspurr, killer of pipe cleaners everywhere.

Two words: Katee Sackhoff.

I love how dog-owners come into cat-lover threads and try to tell cat-lovers that fetching is a strictly "doglike" activity when clearly, cats have been doing it and owning it. Really, it's like saying fixing cars is "Manlike" and the women who talk about it are trying to "act intelligent". It's fucking insulting.

So here's the thing: I like dogs quite a bit, but I like them in the same way I like babies. They are wonderful in short doses. And when they belong to other people. I am a die-hard cat-lover because instead of being up in my face all the time, panting "LOVE ME LOVE ME LOVE ME OMG PLEASE LOVE ME," my cat is like,…

Traveled by plane and bus to a small college in rural Minnesota and then had sex on a druid altar.

I'm a 32DD. It's very easy to believe.

Just the majority of christians?
90% of church leaders?

Read more closely. There is an executive order that prohibits discrimination against federal employees, including contractors, to which we would like Obama to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories. Executive orders are issues by the executive branch of government, not congress. This is…
