It was my rejection of their religion and coming out as an atheist that really got me disowned.

I won’t be disowned from my family (or murdered by them) if I don’t wear high heels and wax my bikini line.

Because it’s much easier to manipulate a 12 year old than an 18 year old?

It doesn't sound like it's 90% your baggage though. His behavior is disrespectful to you. Doing that once or twice a year isn't that big of a deal, but regularly going out, staying out past midnight (especially when he said he'd be home earlier), during the week...IS a red flag.

It's a bad sign that he's so upset, especially because she's losing hair over a change in her health, aging, pregnancy, etc.

"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andre and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you will ever see. God sent me."

Well, rape culture is the idea that victims have to give signals to stop (and did the victim say “no” with enough firmness and enough time) rather than the rapist should be expected to get more consent than “she didn’t seem to be into it, but I went ahead and put my penis into her anyway”

I should have seen the warning signs too. I stayed in my marriage for 20 years. The horrible crap he did ranged from complete thoughtlessness to abuse. About 5 years into our marriage we tried to take a trip to Europe. I ended up getting the worst flu I'd ever had—before or since. He wanted to send me back to the…

I've been wondering if I can still do a cartwheel. I won't be trying it anytime soon. Not unless I do some serious upper body strength training or something. I'm scared now.

Can honeymoon just mean the night of your marriage day? If so, I eloped, was disowned by my parents, and we ended up staying at the apartment of one of my new husband's female friends. He proceeded to get drunk and flirt with his friend and one of the other girls there. The friend had an aggressive cocker spanial…

Human activities that are not “natural” and Robertson should ALSO be against:
Living in houses, electricity, A/C, eyeglasses, surgery, pills, polyester blend clothing, buying food that was grown thousands of miles away, television, electronic fund transfers to scam artists like Robertson, computers, the internet.

There are so many, but Delenn showing up in the White Star to protect B5 from Earthforce, has to be one of my favorite scenes and lines ("He is behind me; you are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else").

oh good, I'm not the only one bugged by that.

OK...it's time to rewatch B5 again!

Vir is really the only one who did get exactly what he wanted at the end.

According to the owner, “anyone has the right to believe anything”, so maybe in this case we can let the threats slide so as not to violate those people’s right to believe that threats are effective.

You need some serious help.

The US prison system has more in common with North Korea than Norway. I don't think that's a good thing.

How many people has the Innocence Project freed to date?
