After seeing what I've seen, I don't believe there's any such thing anymore as "dying with dignity". I wish we could retire this term that means nothing, and is used as some kind of argument as if your two choices were: (1) dying while screaming in pain as your bowels erupt (2) Saint Peter carries you up in his arms…

The real question is, who cares? Who cares if she had an orgasm?

This is so very mean.

So much stupid.

There are viruses that migrate across species, which make them incredibly deadly once they make the switch.

It's not the cleanse that made him stop needing caffeine and headaches, it's the fact that he went without caffeine for a few days.

Technically, there's scientific evidence that severe caloric restrictions lead to longevity in rodents.

If you're comparing a virtually no-risk procedure like a needle stick with dead virus to donating an entire organ, where the reward is astronomically greater than the risk, then we have nothing more to say.

1) Quarantine is closing the barn doors after the horse has already gotten out, so to speak.

First of all, murder isn't always wrong. What if you murder the guy who breaks into your house with a gun? What if you murder your abusive spouse? What if you murder a murderer? Lying and cheating isn't always wrong. What if you lie and cheat the government who have imposed draconian laws that try to kill your…

Wow. This is just so mean-spirited on so many levels.

I know. I had no idea she was EIGHT MONTHS pregnant in that season finale until the director mentioned it.

My feeling is, if god is a force, considering all the crap in the world, which is pretty heinous when you consider the whole world, that force is either incompetent, uncaring or evil.

But what IS "the accountability"? To whom? To what? If every human being has a different sense of right and wrong (just based on some hot topics of today, on homosexuality, on abortion), then which person has it right? You can objectively say, "*I* have it right", but why are you any more of a moral authority than…

Every great philosopher has grappled with the existence of God. I'd rather read their take on the subject than that of a 7 year old child with no life experience, no real knowledge or understanding of chemistry, physics, and math, and no real interaction with the notions of a lack of justice in this world, tough…

Is it horrible that I'm relieved they didn't kill her? They'd never have been found.

This entire piece brings to mind this fabulous scene from Good Will Hunting. I'm not about to take some life lessons from a seven year old anytime soon, thanks.

I think the piece elucidates something a bit more, though, which is that kids truthfully parrot what their parents have indoctrinated them with. Agnostic isn't that far of a stretch from atheist, and her answers to her daughters responses (though I DOUBT that her seven year old freaking said, "I think nature is a…

I like your last paragraph. While I have no investment in you or your son becoming more christian (I'm Jewish), what I think would be a healthy concept would be to encourage your son to find truth, and that sometimes not all truth is found in one place. Take the good, leave the bad.

I disagree with what her mother means, because the author and her mother seem to use God as some kind of personal servant for their benefit alone. Perhaps I view God in less of a human-type way and more of a force, but I think that you're right to say that nothing in life is really controllable. You can love with…
