Especially since all the kids are wearing slightly different shades of green anyway, depending on where they bought it, how old and faded it is, etc. So why care? If its so important for all the kids to wear the same thing, introduce a mandatory uniform of some kind.

Something I find tragically hilarious about this? I went to a conservative Catholic private school with very strict uniform rules - we had a set uniform and very clear policies about it. I never once got more than a gentle reprimand for being ‘out’ of uniform or violating the uniform policy. Everyone wore the same…

Thank you. Without PP, there are a lot of people who would fall through the cracks of what medical aid is available - people who are not so poor that they can are eligible for low-income or below the poverty level aid, but cannot afford other forms of treatment. This isn’t just for birth-control related needs, but…

If you’re going to have strict rules about what students must wear, to the point that the wrong shade of green gets a student a suspension, just have uniforms. Then, everyone is wearing exactly the same thing and students won’t be punished for straying from the unclear and arbitrary rules imposed by schools and their…

If it helps, I’m a ‘young’ and I still have no clue what’s going on :)

It’s not always a zero sum game. You can hate homophobia AND Islamaphobia. Inciting hatred against any group should not be acceptable, whether it be any religious group, a gender or sexuality, or race.

Thank you. And why should Christie want to talk about this? Go him for not shaming someone who is apparently having a rough time of it :/ I’m sure there will be plenty of other people piling on, and while I cannot stand Christie or his politics, I don’t see anything to criticise here - he’s doing his job and not…

Yeah - I have a super simple, slightly geometric art deco ring with alternating sapphires and diamonds, set in white gold then on a yellow gold band that was my belonged to my partner’s grandmother. It wasn’t her engagement ring, but it was her favourite and she always wore it on her ring finger, so it meant a lot.…

He definitly wasn’t, he’s just sexist - there are plenty of gay guys who seem overly freaked out by women, just as there are gold-star lesbians who loudly inform people that men are disgusting. I have no explanation for these people, but my partner is largely one of them.

“I kind of found out, in the testing process, that actually, for straight people, [Danny] is a very easy in”

No thank you :)

It was hardly intentional and as soon as we realised we rescued my sister from the car - she had no clue what had scared us as she hadn’t even seen the spider, but I think she’d have been scared anyway given it was the size of a saucer.

Yeah, phobias become less acceptable the older you get, I think. Like, I seem to be able to get away with it because I look like a helpless teenager, so people seem to sort of think it’s almost cute that I’m “soooo scared” of needles (they don’t tend to have seen to hyperventilating, crying, snot everywhere, trying to…

I have no choice due to a medical condition - I did initially avoid the tests and got so sick I almost dropped out of uni. So, wake up call! After which I had therapy as well, and thank you, I am very proud of my progress! Now I just need to work out a way to get my tooth fixed...

It’s ok - I give my partner A LOT of shit for being a misogynist. It’s entirely cultural (he grew up in a very conservative Italian Catholic family where women got married and had kids and stayed in the kitchen while men had lives) and he’s much better with it now that he’s been living with me for years. He does still…

Yes. My mother and I both hate (hatehatehate) spiders - we once left my sister (SCREAMING!) strapped in her special toddler seat after we saw a massive huntsman spider in the car and bailed out the front seats - my mother CLIMBED over the gear stick, and given she was very heavily pregnant at the time, it was a feat…

I love this. The whole “it’s fine that you’re gay! Really! We don’t care! Just, y’know, don’t act like it. Or look like it. Or, do gay stuff. I mean, we don’t mind if you ARE gay, just make sure you act straight. So it doesn’t bother us. Not that we mind”.

I have to go with the thirsty waitress. I admire the author. If a waitress did that to my BF and me, I’d let her have it.

This makes me giggle because of course it’s pronounced that way! Like, how else would you pronounce it???

I find the lack of regulation disturbing.
