While the fundy christian group I grew up in had a lot of things wrong about life, I was always taught in regards to marriage that each party brings an equal share to it and it is not the responsibility of one to manage the behavior of the other. Learning how to be married and get ready for marriage was the…

Yrs, this is my point. Animals and humans are not different. The logic of most animal rights activists treat animals as different and something to be managed by humans. Humans wants and desires should be denied because we are not animals, or something like that.

Yes. People who point out that treating animals more humanely have to make a choice at some point to somehow see themselves as being outside of nature. Nature needs humans to help it out or some weird idea. They are much closer ideologically to religious people than they are to anything having to do with science.

Okay, I'm a guy so take this with a grain of salt, but if my wife could not have kids because of me and we went to a sperm bank or something and it turned out that our kid was mixed-race I really think that suing them wouldn't enter my head. I seriously think I'd just find it kind of unusual and go, "Whatever. The kid…

I hate to admit this, but: I find them boring. My child-free friends seem like people who either only have work or only work to go on vacations. Travel is a big deal all the time, which is somewhat understandable, but not the be-all and end-all.

Anything that makes my pooping 79 seconds shorter is robbing me of 79 seconds of Candy Crush/Reading Time. Not col.

I agree. I have an infinite memory for some things but I don't care what colour the curtains in my son's room are. My wife is the same way for movies, though. She'll rewatch a movie 5 times over the years and never remember that she's watched it before. Different interests and priorities.

Why did everyone keep saying Asian Chefs? Unless the chef is Japanese and from Japan the authenticity she seems to be hinting at is not achieved anyway. Chinese sushi chefs don't have some intrinsic Asian Sushiness about them. Cambodians also don't have this. If the person isn't Japanese they may as well be from…

I'm a guy and I have a female doctor. And she's friends with my wife. It's a bit strange to think that they could conceivably have a conversation about my nether regions if they so desired.

I only have ever had one partner: my wife. What I hated when I was growing up was the flip-side to the slut-shaming men force on women: normative predatory behavior. As in, a good night out isn't a good night out unless you had sex with some woman you don't know and probably shouldn't care much about and who is not a…

Even so, though, what is the difference in taste between a black poodlr and a white poodle? Aren't they both just poodley-tasting?

I used to have a friend from mainland China who said dog was a delicacy and Black Dog was the best of the best. How can you tell what color the fur was? He didn't have an answer.

Dog I could do. Brains? Heeeaaayylllll No.

I live in Toronto and eat a lot of different things regularly, but Russian food is one of the things that has defeated me.

Foreign how? Are they not Zambian?

Why in the world people don't read recreationally is beyond me. I usually hear the excuse that a person reads all day at work and so they don't want to read more at home. How do people not divide between utility reading and recreational reading?

Something I never anticipated as a younger person is the level of reservedness and conservatism that my generation of people were going to have. We current parents seem to be even more lame and easily shocked than the baby-boomers and their parents.

The deodorant thing is bonkers. One study said that it should possibly be something to examine because of parabens, specifically methyl parabens. Parabens are one the better chemicals humans use because they don't hang around after you use them, but someone in marketing got wind of this and now paraben-free is quickly…

Possible crossover Raining Blood, version by Tori Amos:

Wow, people just want to be part of something, don't they?
