Sorry, it's just my experience. I don't do well on hormonal birth control, don't want an IUD, and thought my days of thinking about how to not get pregnant were over with my Ex's vasectomy. It was a 21 year marriage too. At least, being over 40, I have only a small chance of getting pregnant anyway (I've also never…

I thought it was a mathematical symbol or greek letter.

The "666" thing certainly freaks out some xians. I grew up in the South and in a very religious household. My parents were very involved in their church. However, their telephone number had "666" in the middle; XX6-66XX." Many people commented about it, most were shocked my parents would keep the number. …

I'm with vaux—reading your comments is like a trip to the Twilight Zone. You think I'm pedantic when you're in hysterics over the phrase "clump of cells" and trying to make weird arguments about fetus viability outside of the womb like it should have significant importance in the argument of abortion and body…

We are all really clumps of cells (much of it bacteria). A women, however, is already an independent life, the fetus is not.

A vasectomy is great until the marriage ends and you're 40 dealing with trying to figure out what sort of birth control you want to use after assuming you'd never have to think about it again.

Surely we can protect a woman's right to carry a pregnancy without considering the fetus a person with rights.

Abortion is usually quite a bit safer for a woman than pregnancy or childbirth. So, it's likely safer than a c-section too.

delete b/c I've lost the entire thread of this convo and don't care to parse it out.

Obviously you didn't read my comment.

If your kid is screaming bloody murder for 10 full minutes which distresses my elderly mother who's had a stroke, or running around with a shopping cart and nearly runs into my mom, then it becomes my business. Just because you have a kid doesn't mean that you have more rights than other people. Kids and their…

Oh, please, this is one of the most kid friendly eras in history.

Why not? Sure, it sucks to hear it from a stranger, but it's not all that egregious to tell someone behaving like a schmuck to "go to hell". It's not like actually saying that causes anything bad to happen. It's not like you have to power to physically wish them there. No need to punch someone for saying "go to…

What about extramarital slutty sex? I'm going through a divorce, haven't seen my STBX in over a year, so I'm dating while technically married. Have to say, all the slutty sex is helping me through this tough time.

Augusta, GA is the first place I experienced regular street harassment. It happened a few times in the suburban city I grew up in, but in Augusta I could never go downtown without hearing it.

And if she gets up to go to the bathroom that's just across the hall in a one bedroom apartment, please don't pause the movie. Let it play, turn up the volume and offer to replay what she missed once she returns.

Even worse when they expect you to figure out what they want and get passive-aggressive when it's not their way.

"Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31)

As an atheist it always amuses me when xians refuse to follow the bible they…

Well, a Saint Andrew's cross could add a nice BDSM feel to the club.

No, that's not harassment.
