Years ago there was a case in my state where the mother was ordered to take her kids to Mexico to visit their father. The mother was ordered to take her kids OUT of US jurisdiction. Something is very wrong with our system.

You’re completely discounting parasitic infection.

I got married the day before.

Serving the menu from India in the US? Offering some actual vegetarian options? BK has the Morning Star veggie burger on its menu. I sometimes get that when I need a quick meal. They serve it like an actual burger which is cool because most places offering veggie burgers try to make it uber “healthy” with weird…

So, it’s OK for the words to go out over the air, but the person captioning those words would be fired for providing honest and accurate captioning service to deaf/hard-hearing people?

Yeah, screw those deaf/hard of hearing people! Why do they think they should be able to watch regular tv programming and stuff. Jeez.

No, but deaf/hard-hearing people do have the right not to have what they’re watching censored. They’re not children needing to be protected. While I get the hilarity behind this, I also get the OP’s point, and it’s one that shouldn’t be lightly dismissed with cries of “spoil sport” and “lighten up”.

That doesn’t even make sense. Marriage isn’t an xian creation. Public, social, and formal recognition of pair bonding, polygamy, polyandry, has been a thing in almost every culture (I can’t think of one where it hasn’t). We label that marriage. How does someone else being married affect you and your marriage? It…

Unless you’re a state official (well, in most states) I don’t think any officiant has to marry any 2 particular people. I don’t think churches will be forced to hold weddings they don’t want. After all, there’s not a ton of non-catholics clamoring to be married in/by the catholic church.

I don’t want any man who expects me to dress up everyday and wear unsensable shoes. If a guy’s not happy that I pin my hair in a bun, wear jeans/shorts/comfie pants, tshirts, and tennis shoes, I certainly don’t want to waste a second of my time on him.

Are you saying that fathers, mothers who adpot, and women who can’t/don’t breastfeed are less bonded to their babies?

Be a lady? Fuck you.

Yes, it’s absolutely victim blaming. If you keep going you’re going to find something to blame about the woman’s behavior and choices. Then, you say, “AH HA! Gotcha, well, if you hadn’t done x and y, then z wouldn’t have happened so it’s all your fault.”

The waiting sucks though, doesn’t it? How long did you have to wait for the diagnosis? What if you could have gotten it sooner? Should you be fired for that? Taking care of your health is an adult thing to do too. If your surgery could be moved up and you could cut out some of the wait, wouldn’t you want the option to…

Seems like you don’t see other cultures as having actual people. They’re exhibits, artifacts, quaint, and filled with noble savageness that you can gawk at on an “eco” vacation.

I can’t even get from where I live to my hometown without routing through Chicago. It makes the trip twice as long. As much as I’d love to take a train, it’s not actually realistic option.

Did you miss that scene in the movie?

Ah, the Mommie Dearest style of parenting. Sounds lovely.

I completely understand and agree with your reasoning here. I’m childfree by choice, never wanted to be a parent. The most I ever really wanted was to be a cool aunt.

Yeah, and she totally needed to calm down too! How dare she say stuff or have opinions. She should be cooking and doing the dishes even on her vacation.
