So true, it is very much a class issue. I never thought about it until recently with all this attention the new healthcare laws received. I spent my entire life double insured and never had to pay more than a few bucks for meds or treatment. It's hard for many people in my situation to realize just how lucky we…

He's 40. They're adults. Looks appropriate to me. They don't even look like 18 year olds, they look like my age.

Wow, that sounds pretty terrible to me! Don't all kids have cell phones anyway? So, to pull this off you need to change the time on their cell phone, change all the clocks in the house, and hope they don't turn on satellite/cable tv, or talk to their friends. Sounds like a lot of ways to get busted....

We are still people, some more ignorant, sexist, homophobic, racist, etc. than others. Sadly. However, there are some really great ones out there! I hope that you are able to get the benefit of a good one, it's priceless to find someone who you "click" with. Many studies on the benefits of therapy show that the…

It makes me sick that parents have to give permission for a trans child to block puberty. My parents never had a say in any of my medical treatments when I was a teen. I could go to a doctor, make a decision with my doctor, and get treated. I could even get BC as a cis-woman as young as I think 14 in my state. …

Listen to her! Say you were caught off guard when she first told you, and you want to hear more. I'm sure she can explain her feelings about this. Don't argue or try to talk her one way or another, just try to understand. Pretend you will have to do a book report on what your child says.

Oh wow, I can only imagine how you must feel...

The thought of that made me so sad. He/she may not be able to drive anymore, and that is his/her living.

Neither is the sentencing for sex crimes in the US...

Interesting that both men and women get kissed by random strangers on the street (though it happened more to women).

And is studying abroad in England.

I don't get what people are so offended about. I'm thin and never felt offended by these articles...

I don't have to starve myself to be thin. But I know damn well that plenty of women could eat what I eat and still be overweight. That's the problem. You don't know from looking at someone whether they are practicing portion control and exercise or not.

Holy shit the formaldehyde story wins. That is sick.

I think it is a travesty to try children as adults in cases like this. What really kills me though is the hypocrisy. We say children don't have the right to do many things until they are 18 because they aren't developed enough to do so. How can we hold onto that belief, yet give them adult consequences?

Huh they are supposed to turn into a V? What?

MmM nothing better than soggy bread!

Yeah my school had one, but it wasn't free or cheap for students...

In undergrad, there were a fair amount of students with children. My school had an early childhood education center, which included a daycare. It was not free or even cheap though...

And that awkward attempted rape scene...ugh. All of the ferengi focused episodes sucked. Quark is a great side character, keep it that way...
