Yeahhhhh, pretty sure this guy's just psycho.

To be honest, I actually prefer the anti-choice people who are just flat-out opposed to all abortion. At least these people can pretend to sincerely believe that abortion is straight-up murder and have a justifiable excuse (in their minds) for opposing abortion. Everyone else who is okay with what they ostensibly…

I've heard it from doctors when I asked them. I had mine around the age of 10, and it wasn't even that itchy...Maybe I just had a higher tolerance? I dunno. I just...do not want to deal with the pain of shingles, especially with my shitty luck in life.

I will never be satisfied until I know why Rene Descartes was chosen for that gif.

Haha yes! When I was a kid I went through a period where I really, really believed in god. It's comforting! Someone is looking out for you. Eventually I figured out that I didn't believe, so much as I WANTED to believe, and those are very different things. I wish I could - it makes things so much easier. Not…

I understand. I used to think that most people were generally reasonable and willing to learn. I've never been more wrong. I wish it wouldn't continue to disappoint me though, I'd love to get over it.

Parents do not own their children. That's just a really weird and disturbing way of looking at parenthood. It's also not all that backed up by law or logic. I can sell my tv on Craigslist and yet those who have tried to do the same with children have found that the law frowns upon it and will put them in jail for it.…

So "say what you want about ISIS, but no one had polio" will be this generation's "at least Mussolini kept the trains running on time".

Wherever the caribbean people are. Goat is delicious. Cute animals are absolutely delicious. I have a theory that cuteness is directly proportional to deliciousness. I said that once to a friend on a ferry ride and a woman with a child shot me a dirty look. I wanted to tell her not to worry because her kid actually…

This is always my argument against people who say they need a gun for self-protection but that they store it safely, all disassembled with the ammo in a separate place. How are you going to defend yourself against a robber if you first have to assemble your gun and then go to a different place to load it? You could…

When I was a police officer, I had my firearms on my person and weapon control was a very high priority. When I was in my home or office, the weapon was secured so that it was inaccessible to anyone other than ME. If you get into situations that escalate so quickly that you have no advance awareness that you will need…

It's because purse carry is dumb. The only more dumb form of carry is putting the gun in your waistband of your pants.

Why? Should she? I have a book club based on the very premise. We read a book and then watch the movie and bitch about all the ways the movie sucks in comparison to the book while we eat food and drink wine. I've never had anyone react to this news with anything but "that sounds awesome" so I think many people…

One look at the way Canadian police forces address First Nations people and communities, and it is clear that our system is inherently flawed (and often very, very unprofessional).

Wouldn't AM radio listeners be more aware of crap like this? (AM, bastion of Crazy Talk Radio in all it's forms, political/social/religious....)

We need to get rid of philosophical and religious exemptions. Medical exemptions only. I am fucking tired of this shit.

Something tells me the conversation and reaction to all of this would be preeeetty different if the anti-vaxxers currently spreading horrible diseases around the country were poor and brown instead of rich and white. Instead of "personal belief exemptions" we'd have kids getting ripped from their parents by CPS,…

Tobias has endured chickenpox and whooping cough, though Ms. McMenimen said the latter seemed more like a common cold. She considered a tetanus shot after he cut himself on a wire fence but decided against it: "He has such a strong immune system.

Anti-vaxxers make me absolutely BONKERS. I just cannot handle these types of people! And sorry, but your tenacious desire to maintain your delusions is not so sacrosanct that you should be allowed to put others at risk.

"Even though some people argue that binge-watching is a harmless addiction, findings from our study suggest that binge-watching should no longer be viewed this way. Physical fatigue and problems such as obesity and other health problems are related to binge-watching and they are a cause for concern. When…
