It worked out in the end given that "What the hell is Brett Favre doing here?" is far more useful.

Accordingly, Super Bowl to be held in Jacksonville for next 20-30 years.

Let's make a point to save Thanksgiving by skipping Black Friday entirely. The Friday after Thanksgiving is the day to enjoy a wonderful tryptophan hangover by eating a giant turkey sandwich in your pajamas.

Then on December 1st you set the alarm clock to play "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and you can actually enjoy the…

Its also been frequently used, especially by the current pope, to shame the rich and powerful into taking up the sufferings of the poor.

The "culture of life" as expressed by some Christians is problematic for a whole mess of reasons.

I generally interpret the theology of suffering as it especially relates to taking the suffering of others upon yourself. Or you use your own pain to push past the petty frustrations of life towards something greater. In…

Well you cannot coerce anyone to accept redemptive suffering. I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with attempting to convince someone of that concept.

I live in a neighborhood in Chicago full of those busy, friendly, casual places that straddle the bar/restaurant line. They're always full of kids between 9 am and 7 pm. Its not a big deal. Mostly I only feel bummed about the stroller crowd because parents tend to arrive earlier and maybe that day I'm not in a mood to…

The problem with looking at each individual catcall is that it misses the forest for the trees. Taken one at a time, most of the actions of the above men don't do any noteworthy damage, ranging from just pathetic to really creepy. The real issue is the cumulative effect of one comment every six minutes.

As Dan Olsen…

I'm not blaming women for this. If women are indeed "primary care givers" as you suggest, then it makes it all the more onerous that the men in this video paid more attention to someone else who showed them it was acceptable.

We've got to take on some responsibility to recognize destructive aspects of masculine…

Did your mom or any other woman in your experience cat-call another woman (or man) in public in the manner of the video?

Interesting you bring up culture because men are the ones who typically determine the substance of culture and media (especially masculine culture). I will defend the notion that this type of behavior can only come from observing other men.

You argue that women are in most teaching positions as young children but that…

You have to learn from somebody and the odds are extraordinarily low that the men in the video above learned how to verbally harass women from women. Indeed in the absence of a father, a boy will find another male example (uncle, friend's dad, older classmate, etc). The kind of behavior exhibited above does not just…

Its actually fairly simple. School curricula do not teach gender identity. You learn your gender identity first from other men or other women. You learn how to be a man by watching other men. You learn how to be a woman by watching other women.

From a system-wide view, somewhere, some other male figure in the lives of these men showed them or told them that this behavior was acceptable.

That concerns my entire gender. We have to make it clear to our fellow men that this unacceptable. Maybe these characters are too far gone but somewhere there's a kid who is…

Now that we've heard from Scarecrow, lets see what Tin Man and Cowardly Lion have to say.

This is the central hypocrisy. Carrying a concealed weapon which can cause the inadvertent or aggravated death of a loved one is fine because of the vague possibility of protecting a man's property which is valuable and not to be prized away. Observing a drink with little effort to guard against the vague possibility…

So now a man, TV show, and film series (Thor apart from Loki) are all involved with the same woman who is totally out of their class.

I enjoy her work on video games and pop culture immensely. I hope these monsters are caught.

I'd have to agree. There's presently a tug of war in Wisconsin between the progressive cities (Milwaukee and Madison) and the increasingly conservative heartland. Walker has the ear of the countryside, as pig-headed and stupid as it may be. He still might lose this election but his voters were not duped anymore than…

40 and single. No surprise there.
