On an overpopulated planet where we are far outstripping our resources, I believe that NOT having children is a better legacy than having them. I'm making that choice so that other people can live better lives in the future.

And you sound like a judgmental d-bag.

If you don't want one, don't have one because that's what the societal timetable tells you. Not having children doesn't make you selfish. It makes you honest.

A nice thing to leave behind for future generations when you are gone would be a livable planet.

My plan, eventually, is to adopt. Rather than add to the population myself, I would like to give a home to a child who otherwise would not have one.

For a second I thought I was looking at Catherine Tate, and I was prepping to let out an ungodly wail. Donna Noble has been SAVED.

It depends on the school. Small, elite liberal arts colleges try very hard to keep their gender balances 50/50. There are a few colleges that are notorious for this. At a large state school numbers generally reflect the current gender balance of higher education (60/40 M/F).

You know what killed my father? His doctor's insistence that if he'd just exercise and lose some weight, his back would stop hurting so much. Every visit he had the conversation "But it hurts so much, I can't exercise" and the doctor saying "just push through it!"

I'd like to introduce you to my friends "Jane" and "Anna". Anna is a dancer. Girl can do at least 75 sit-ups in a row (I have seen this, while I lay panting on the floor after 15) and moves like she's made of feathers and air.

You are taking a lot of heat, but I think your question is genuine. The thing is, it isn't all about fat v. thin, it's about health. I am overweight, but my BP and lab work are perfect, I average 6000+ steps a day, and eat healthier than many of my thinner friends. When I focused on thin, in my 20's, I became very…

Because sometimes being fat is what it is. So you learn to accept yourself, love yourself and with that love comes confidence. Every single fat person knows they're fat.

Yeah, but you realize this comment pretty much makes you THE MOST BITTER JEZZIE, right?

The two years or so between when the Warsaw Ghetto was created, and when the Germans started sending inhabitants to the camps was also pretty horrific. If there had been no concentration camps, and the people had been allowed to simply stay in the ghetto, there still would have been hundreds of thousands of deaths…

What children suffering in Israel? The ones whose school was bombed in an air raid? By the Palestinian air force? Where do people get this nonsense?

But with the Jewish history including the Holocaust they should be the first ones who find it abhorant. Sadly to these young folk genocide is what they embrace. "Never forget" does not mean "lets do it again". Yes Israel needs to stand up for itself but it should do it justly not rip a page from Hitler's playbook as…

It's not off putting. Just because you love your two pals doesn't mean you love their crying kids at your wedding. Also, just because you have kids doesn't mean it is appropriate to bring them every single place you go. I know you love your kids, but sometimes mommy and daddy go out alone and leave your ass at home.…

By 'other side' you mean a barely there military without the funding, support, or tech currently used to kill their women. Your lack of perception is baffling, it's as if we decided to bomb Ghana tomorrow. It's not a war - it's just murder.

No, a kid friendly wedding is a wedding where kids are allowed to come. A lot of people don't want babies / toddlers / kids under twelve at their weddings because 1. babies /toddlers can be disruptive and 2. Sometimes they are counted as attendees when it comes to capacity and food / drink. Also, some people just want…

YES. I did not even realize these things existed until I moved from the northeast to the south and attended my first Baptist wedding - every person in the county is invited and the reception is held in the church hall with no booze, very limited food (often nothing but cake and punch) and no dancing. Sometimes as a…

I cry every time my husband masturbates into a towel. He's killing all of our babies!
