Fucking oldest fallacy in the book, that you cannot criticize something that you've not actively done before. I was party to a job far more harrowing, being in military service during the latest Iraq war. So don't try and patronize me with this "you haven't been there" nonsense. Like other veterans, and especially as…

Your use of "they" is vague since it lumps both potential protestors and looters together. I never denied that a few people were looting. I said that most of the people are peaceful protesters being watched over by heavily armed police - which has been reported:

You're an idiot, I'm an active duty Marine and it's horrifying seeing a bunch of civil servants trying to do the same shit we do in war to it's citizens.

The "aftermath" that followed it, aka the equivalent to marshal law being imposed in some areas without Presidential order to do so? Police entering houses, sometimes by force, without warrants?

What a load of bullshit, cops know what they are getting into. There's zero fucking reason for a police department in small towns to have MRAP, let alone a SWAT team. You know what kills the most cops? Traffic accidents. Deaths of cops by gunfire is in the twenties or so last year. The rise of soldier cop needs to…

Because they didn't. The rioters and the protestors were two different groups. And the cops could have stopped the rioters much more easily if they hadn't been busy gassing and attacking peaceful protestors.

Yeah, those protesters looked really armed. As in their arms were up. In the air. Empty-handed.

Sarah Palin is unstuck in time.

It's like she accidentally made a parody of herself.

seriously! While I'm glad it works for them, I feel like they completely missed the point of the article. A birth control method with a failure rate of up 25% is not what is being sought.

Fertility awareness is not a birth control method unless you pair it with abortion. It's completely inappropriate for people who are taking medication that causes birth defects or who must avoid pregnancy for other reasons. If you don't have consistent, regular cycles, it will fail. And even if you do, it may fail…

I would try it for sure, if you can afford it/have enough insurance. This type of acne is too severe not to be treated medically. I tried everything under the sun — THANKS A LOT FOR NOTHING, PROACTIV — including the natural route, with little to no results. And yeah, it makes you feel like you're doing something…

I had Mirena. It worked awesome (no periods) for a couple years. Then it failed and I ended up with an ectopic pregnancy. BOO HISS. Thank the Lords of Kobol I get hyperemesis gravidarum when I'm pregnant; otherwise I wouldn't have known I was pregnant till I blew a tube or something.

You have my condolences on the cystic acne. No one who has ever not battled acne, or even those have battled *normal* adult acne, will ever understand how PAINFUL and AWFUL it is.

If you're reading this, and you've never had it, let me tell you: it feels like someone surgically inserted a dry pea deep under my skin…

Hey, crazypants people on the #HobbyLobby hashtag—THIS is why it matters that women have a broad range of contraceptive options. No, it doesn't fucking matter that there "are still 14 birth control options" available to Hobby Lobby employees. If there is only one that works for a woman, she fucking NEEDS that one.

I think most of us realized that he was mistaken. Date rape isn't even a real term. Rape is sexual assault. Adding the qualifier "date" before rape is ridiculous. It's not less rapey because you know the person and/or agreed to spend time with them before they attacked you. The very term "date rape" was made up by…

DING DING DING! You are completely right, his logic is inherently flawed and functions on misogynistic paradigms (where women need to be wary of the shadowy rapist in the street and therefore their movements in public places, when actually they are far more likely to be raped or murdered by people they know within the…

Also, why are date rape and knife point rape mutually exclusive? Like people aren't violently assaulted and raped by people they know. Like rape isn't violent enough in itself. The stupidity and ignorance is stupefying.

Dawkins is the worst. We already knew this. But thanks for turning my experience of rape into a pissing contest.
