That's what gets me most of all, also. And why couldn't they take turns at the wine tasting, with one going inside and the other staying in the car with the kids, if the wine tasting was so important?

This makes me insane! I'm a court appointed special advocate for kids in foster care and considering how LITTLE you have to do to keep your kids (um, not put their safety/health/life in danger), it's astounding to me how many people completely fail at it.

Right? I was like, "Wake the kids up and take them inside, go to a liquor store and drink at home, get a babysitter." In less than 10 seconds I thought of three things you could do that will keep your kids safe and not land you in jail. What in the fuck?? And not one parent, but BOTH of them somehow thought this was…

whats the hell is wrong with people?? do they hate their kids???

GET A BABYSITTER IF YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND DRINK!! How fucking hard is that?? And if you can't get one...drink at home!!! Don't leave them in the car (no matter what the weather is) and drive them after you've been drinking!!

WTF. No. Sorry. This isn't a case of a single mom leaving her kids in a car so she can go to a desperately needed job interview. Which you still SHOULD NOT DO. This is fucking lazy parents going to a WINE TASTING and leaving their kids to freeze because...they didn't want to shell out for a babysitter? Fuck these…

I always had a thing for Geena Davis. Super smart, pro-level archer, gorgeous, great actress. She shoulda been bigger.

ok, unrelated to bowling ball technology, but: does anyone else miss the days before computerized scoring? I actually enjoyed doing the basic arithmetic on those scoresheets w/ those lousy dull pencils they usually gave you. For me, it was almost as satisfying as the bowling itself. I remember a few times I'd bowl…

The Almighty Malachi does not get all the ladies...

My husband's ex-wife claims to be a good Christian, and has so indoctrinated my stepdaughter with these ideas of Christian morality being the only way to be a good person that she now says she's going to wait until she's married to even kiss a man (which is just the worst idea but her body, her choice) and acts like…

I'll say it....I hope people become secular....naturally of course. In high school we were assigned the task of creating our own utopian future. In my future, I wrote that no one believed in god or followed a religion because they simply didn't see the need for it anymore. My teacher hated it, gave me a lower grade…

I was raised in a non-religious house by parents who had very strict religious upbringings from different religious traditions. I remember actually having conversations about what they believed and why and what I believed in and why. I was actually encouraged to know what I believed and think about why I held that…

My SO let it slip to his mom that we are atheist and we wont take our kids to church (if we ever have any). She's a sort-of christian, but she was worried the children wouldn't have a proper "community" to grow up in. I'm planning on doing more humanist stuff. I really really am not looking forward to all the…

I was raised in a Roman Catholic home, begrudgingly. I knew at 6 that I did not believe, but my dad wanted me to know "what it [was I was] rejecting."

We don't agree often but I'm totally behind this. I get frustrated with people who say things like this and it really doesn't make you any better than the super religious people who are saying shit like that about non-believers.

Exposing children to religion not only makes them have a harder time to tell the difference between fiction and reality, but the constant prejudice in common religious practice just makes underdeveloped minds adopt a "holier than thou, and thou, and also thou" mentality even after post puberty. Every day education…

Lose your religion, lose your leg!

My sister suffered from a brain injury as a toddler. I get where you are coming from. She was only 2 years younger than I. I saw how it affected every part of my parents life. I also had to grow up a hell of a lot faster and I spent a significant portion from about 11 to 14, helping my parents care for her and baby…

Adults (26-64): 7-9 hours each day.

My Girlfriend and I have a Garage Sale at least once a year (never made near $1k as the author of this article did; a couple hundred was a win for us).
