thats the point. the family paid. mostly, the kids paid. and paid, and paid, and paid. i dont think its needlessly piling on to take this exercise in self pity and point out that perhaps theres room for personal responsibility here somewhere. obviously everyone gets that the companies treated them terribly, but people…

exactly my thoughts.

they said something vague like "it didnt work for a variety of reasons" which has a definite cop-out feel to it. if she'd said something like "try as we might we literally could not find a single paid position anywhere, in any industry, that could keep us afloat", i'd be more inclined to think they were genuinely…

just not important enough for this couple to make some sacrifices in favour of their kids' well-being or stability. like i said upthread, the world doesnt owe you your dream job, dream house, and as many kids as you can make. pick one, and prioritize that. follow your heart in an unstable industry, but don't do so at…

ugh. exactly. it sucks that this happened to this family but i feel bad for the kids more than anything. the world doesnt owe you your dream job, your dream house, and 5 fucking kids. Follow your heart in an insanely unstable industry, but dont put the burden of instability on your fucking kids. Or have six zillion…

awe, hun. its no one's job but your own to educate yourself. if your plan is to go out into the great wild internets and air your ignorance, don't expect people to take you by the hand and gently guide you in a basic understanding of facts. other folks like to read and learn BEFORE they air their moronery for all to…

don't sell yourself short. youre not just no scholar in Islam, but also no scholar in history, international affairs, or, by the looks of it, religious studies in general. if, perhaps, you have a grasp of some basic literacy skills, i recommend you start there..

nah. shes easily been the calmest and most generous of anyone here. there is inherent insecurity in the topic at hand, hence the subject of the article and very wording included therein. the whole issue is problematic. thats. the. point. of. the. article.

i definitely feel a mixed response to your comment, but more in a positive way than negative. the issue a lot of people had with olivianopes comment wasnt that she was actively participating in a discussion about female orgasms and sexual satisfaction with her own experiences. cos she wasnt. i feel like your response…

ah, you said it so much better than me when i got all up in a lather about her comments. i tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but the more she responded, the more obvious it was that she was hopelessly off base and wouldnt even consider examining her intent or actions.

how does "i cant even imagine how much it would suck for things to not be as perfect for me as they are" constitute showing empathy?

well shit. maybe the article should have been "IS OLIVIANOPE HAPPY?! DOES SHE HAVE GOOD SEX? DOES SHE ORGASM ALL THE TIME?! WE SURE HOPE SO!"

i was on anti-depressants and had no orgasms, a very low sex drive. told my dr and she was like, "well, the anxiety kills your sex drive, and so does the medicine to treat it!" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yea, youre obnoxious.

exactly. id rather be "freaked out during sex" than have my bf grin and bear it, ignoring a possible health concern for the sake of a smoother encounter, only to awkwardly broach the subject post coitus..

they both spelled cocoa "coco", too. unless thats a texas thing?

nah, if you finish the video one of them is a "professional mom" (gag) and another a "youth pastor's wife". the concept, writing, and directing are all care of dudes, though, so theres your source of dad concern right there...

right, cos sexual intercourse is only to be enjoyed between heterosexual partners within the loving bonds of marriage in order to produce children. i thought i told you to stop following me, sunday school teacher from 20 yrs ago..

agree, except its not "sort of hypocritical", but insanely ridiculously hypocritical. chances are a fuzzy widdle rabbit on a tiny micro farm had a better life than the thousands of horrifically treated factory farmed cows that go into their mcdoubles. i 100% support vegos and vegans who put time, effort, and money…

yea, its pretty much the most annoying thing ever. i was a vegetarian for a decade and still jumped at the chance to accompany a friend hunting. theres something about seeing something be hunted and die that really makes the choice crystal clear. you come away from it either appreciating every bite of meat, or keen to…
