Um, I'm talking about the cost to the insurance company, which is all about profit. How about you "don't be fucking stupid".

THIS!! I never did understand what the hell the thinking was with that. birth control is WAY cheaper than a pregnancy and a baby.

I am surprised he got anything at all, he's a prominent white man who only killed a woman. :(

Wow, small world. Hope your friends situation is better now.

I know I shouldn't want one, but I do.

I live in MA currently but my main residence is in CO, I maintain my registration there just because it's purple. My fingers are crossed too and I certainly hope 67 doesn't pass, I just don't know anymore. :(

That sounds wonderful!!

No surprise that they are all red states. I really fear that after the upcoming mid-terms, many(more) states are going to become terrible for women, Colorado comes to mind.

I'd go with a the car, or a double wall corrugated box.
What a creeper.

Did it ever occur to you that it's Kinja? I didn't dismiss your comments, I didn't dismiss any comments in this thread. There are multiple responses to you through out the thread, except for the ones you dismissed, or was that kinja?
I don't have the slightest idea why you're so upset, I have repeatedly explained…

You're really something. Anyone who wants to look can easily see that I have engaged you repeatedly on the topic and well before you posted this one. Are you looking for a fight? Why is it necessary for me to respond to every one of your comments explaining the same thing over and over? Just because you read what you…

I hope you get to have the wedding that you want. :( We had been together for nearly 12 years when we got married. Jan will make 2 years. Heh. I think people thought we'd never get married and gave up on the idea of a ceremony, which was good, in my opinion. I never wanted to get married but I needed medical…

JFC, I wasn't judging anyone. I said I would rather spend the money on something that lasts for more than a day and doesn't stress me out, that is exactly what I meant. IT APPLIES TO ME, not to anyone else. You want a red dress, I think the blue one would look better on me, I buy the blue one. I am not saying the red…

Those are (no snark on my side either) absolutely fine reasons to choose to have a big ceremony. I made a very quick comment, yes I could have extrapolated but I didn't think it was necessary. I didn't judge anyone, just said it doesn't make sense to me and it still doesn't. Society puts all these pressures and we…

Nope, I still don't get it. I also don't get why you're so invested in this. I comprehend what you're saying, it just makes no sense to me.
I will say it for a third and final time, I don't care what anyone else does, that's their business, but that doesn't mean I understand why they do it, it also doesn't mean I…

I don't care what anyone else does. You seem to be rather upset about this and really, you're giving it way too much thought. We did what we wanted to do, it wasn't important to us and I really don't get why it's such a big deal one way OR the other. If someone wants to have a huge wedding and spend X it's their…

You can doubt it, but I really don't get it. It makes no sense to me. I didn't dig on anyone else, I said it doesn't make sense to me and so we did something that did make sense to us. If someone wants to spend 70K on a wedding, more power to them, it doesn't make a difference to me.

I'm not sure if you think I said any of that. I said what I did and what I don't understand. I didn't condemn anyone else.
His mother wanted something big and fancy, she also wanted a different daughter in law, but neither of us was concerned about what any one else wanted, it's our marriage. So to each his/her own.

Civil ceremony for the win! We had sex when we got home from the county clerks office. :) I have never understood the need for a big, fancy ceremony. I love him, he loves me, I'd rather spend that money on something that lasts for more than a day and that doesn't stress me the fuck out.

Exactly, to all of that.
