And this is why people with English degrees are important. Liberal arts FTW.

When my husband and I first started dating, he was stationed at Fort Hood. I have a pistol, and in Texas it's lawful to carry it in the glove compartment or trunk of your car. I was a dumb 21-year-old and didn't take the gun out before going on post. Yea.....my husband lost his shit and spent the weekend praying I…

As a black, gay man in a fraternity of mostly, white, straight-ish Southern Bros, lemme tell you some things about the Southern Bros, at least those north of Miami.

They don't fuck with SoCo. SoCo is too damn sweet. They like their whiskey, either in shot form (which is sacrilege), or with coke. In fact, they drink…

"Parents need to look out for their kids before anyone else's"

The analogy to the abortion debate doesn't quite work. Unlike choosing to have an abortion, the decision not to vaccinate one's child or oneself impacts public health at large by undermining herd immunity against disease.

If you don't understand the science, how in the world could you possibly estimate that 49 vaccines is excessive? YOU ARE BASING YOUR DECISIONS ON ARBITRARY THINGS.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you here. It's the responsibility of the physician to promote and protect public health. I wish we lived in a world in which it was the law to vaccinate, because we wouldn't see the numbers of infants dying of pertussis and measles. We wouldn't see outbreaks in largely unvaccinated…

The reason why Hep B is given so early is because chronic Hep B can be prevented in an infant born to a mother who is infected if it is given early enough. Many, many women give birth without knowing they are infected, or without their Hep B being detected yet. Here is some literature on the subject: http://www.immuniz…

It's up to the parent but that parent's shitty decisions can affect other children and even adults. Also please post this legitimate sources on the anti-vaccination side that should be trusted.

From what I've read, it's given because some people may not even know that they have Hep-B? I've read (CDC website) that some people just experience mild illness and then carry the virus for the rest of their lives. And while, yes, it is sexually transmitted you can also get it from contaminated items (blood to blood…

According to the CDC, an estimated 1.25 million people are chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus in the United States alone, resulting in an estimated2,000-4,000 deaths each year. Surprisingly, 30%-40% of these chronic infections were acquired during childhood. This fact alone presents a compelling …

The "vaccine industry"? Are you serious? Like, really, I have to know. Because that is a great bit of sarcasm if you aren't serious, and you should write for The Onion.

But if you aren't... well I could make a really rationed argument, but I don't want to spend my morning frothing at the mouth with anger over how some…

My BFF is a pediatrician in Canada, and she's been really trying to get her patients vaccinated as soon as possible, because the outbreaks are becoming more frequent, and they are, really, inevitable. The only thing she can do is prepare, because when the outbreak comes the vaccines supplies will run out quickly.

She…

If you're concerned about data, Kenet Lansman's numbers look very good: she says that in the 16 years she's been open, she's never had a child come down with "a serious, life-threatening, vaccine-preventable illness."

No. I don't care if I come across as an anti-choicer, because that's what I am. This isn't a matter of freedom of personal health. When you decide not to vaccinate, you are making that decision not only for yourself, but for EVERYONE in your community (and region.) You are deciding to openly flout medical science and…

So did Whose Line Is It Anyway, but it didn't involve sexually violating young girls.

If he really wants to make sure his models are "aware of the nature of the work," why not sit down with them beforehand and talk about what they will and won't do, as is standard in the American porn industry?

Mushrooms vs. Opium?!?

Here's an easy guide to cultural sensitivity:
