The Clintons had quote a few snafus in the 90s and they still got elected. Bill Clinton made an ass of himself by taking communion at a catholic church even though he isn't catholic. Both Bill and Hillary had a few others that escape my memory right now, but I remember my grandparents talking about the Clintons in…

Well said. I think it should be noted that we don't want the wealthy to write us a check for money we didn't earn. But there are charities out there for a reason. Obviously no one is obligated to give to charity, but morally it is the right thing to do when you have millions of dollars you will never spend just…

I don't get that feeling from them at all. Didn't they recently showcase Peta Lindsay as well. I think the attitude is more "don't vote for Romney, he hates women" than "vote democrat".

The two women who bothered me the most are Irene Cassata who is a recovery room nurse and Jana McElhaney, who teaches at an elementary school. I actual tracked down their employers and wrote a strongly worded letter about how they shouldn't work with the public. It probably won't do any good, but I had to do…

A lot can happen in 20 seconds. I want to punch everyone who texts and walks in the face (as do most New Yorkers). Stand to the side to text, period. I will elbow you in the side hard if you don't.

Agreed. 1000 times agreed.

I'm sure plenty of other women in the hospital I gave birth in were intimidated into bottle feeding simply because they were never given all the information. I am all for education but I definitely think what Bloomberg is doing is ridiculous and will probably be ineffectual. I do, however, think his heart is in the…

I made a pretty big stink about it after I got out of the hospital. I contacted the head honchos at the hospital and they issued a formal apology but the damage was done. I blame misinformation and the lack of continued education for nurses and doctors in some hospitals. I was raised by a nurse and I have a couple of…

I gave birth to my second child in a hospital in Flushing and the nurses literally told me they thought I was putting my child at risk by nursing. And this was 4 years ago, not in 1970. The head nurse told me she was worried that my daughter would go hungry so she went behind my back and gave my child a bottle. It…

I was taken off of it right after the blood clot problem, but that wasn't tied to the stomach problems until years later. I had been on Yasmin for two years before the PE issue so the damage to my gall bladder had been done, they just kept diagnosing it wrong. I went to 7 separate doctors from the time I was 15 until…

Well said. My ex and I have a very amicable relationship and we had a very simple divorce and that was the end of it. People occasionally remark about ho great that is for us, but I think anyone who can't suck it up and be decent to the person they had kids with is an ass. And the lawyers who prey on those people suck…

I could see it being an issue if the couple is together for decades and they decided as a couple to have one partner stay home and forgo having a career for the sake of the family, whether for children or because they wanted to be a traditional family (not my choice by a long shot, but to each his own).

I had blood clots in my lungs and it also caused me to have severe gall bladder problems, including huge galls stones and numerous infections and inflammation. This started at 15 so the doctors were surprised and it took them years to properly diagnose me because what 15 year old has these issues.

I am in the same boat, it sucks major ass. I tried almost everything, and even got majorly sick from taking Yasmin. I have had all the children I want but according to the three places I went to I am still too young for sterilization so I'm basically stuck on the condom train to period town for at least the next 7…

I was thinking that. In 10 years we will see millions of women with no hair on the side of their heads. Maybe it will be a fashion statement.

Is it just me or does anyone else not see a difference?

Agreed. In many parts of the country the only way you can get the state to help you track down a deadbeat is if you qualify for welfare. Then the state wants THEIR money back for your benefits. Otherwise you're up shit creek without a paddle.

I think that comes down to the way society pits one woman against each other. The boyfriend tells Candi "My wife didn't understand me/got fat/nagged at me" etc. and Candi eats it up because she wants to fancy herself as better than the wife. "Well, I won't nag/get fat/stop understanding when I pop out his kid because…

You don't consider the war in Iraq a violent crime?

You forget the misinformation that is out there, even in the information age. Young girls are being taught by their stupid parents and peers that they can't get pregnant if they are on their periods, or if it's their first time or if they are upside and facing west. In poor families these girls are less likely to have…
