...nine months, you say? iiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting!

He pushed a child out of a window. He crippled and attempted to kill Ned Stark. He's screwing his sister, even fathering children by her, and disputes of succession have thrown the whole kingdom into a bloody turmoil. He murders a relative - who idolized him, no less - to escape from captivity.

Wait, what? Does anyone walk away from those scenes thinking that the rapist is not a brutal, morally-challenged, reprehensible person?

I'm just going to put this up here, as a reminder that just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're "wrong."

OMG. I swear everyone in New England (or at least Western Mass / VT) says "chi-pol-tay" and it's like nails on a blackboard to me! I'm even kind of okay with chipoltee, because at least that kind of fits phonetically. But pol-tay? Are you even looking at the letters?? Argh!

Merriam Webster disagrees with you - listen to the clip. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feb…

To be fair, in casual conversation most people are like to go with "joo-ry" and gloss over the middle parts! Much like "you're welcome" becomes "yu'welcome" or "goodnight" becomes "g'nite" or....

If the skirt is truly knee-length, it will brush the ground when kneeling. It's a slightly less creepy way of checking - I certainly wouldn't want some male PE teacher kneeling on the ground below me tugging on the hem of my skirt to see how far down it went! Or bending down to measure or something, ick. I think it's…

At my middle school we had a male teacher who would yank said loose pants down, not up. If they were so loose as to fall down, that violated dress code and the student was forced to change into gym clothes or go home. Similarly, he would have girls kneel to check their skirt lengths. Too short? Change or go home. Same…

I agree with the sentiment of this article. That said, on a practical level, the people editing the yearbook portrait photos were probably different people than the ones putting in the rest of the non-portrait photos (at least, that's how my high school yearbook worked).

I'll say to you the same thing I said to a poster higher up in the thread. If someone says "no" and "stop," it is rape. If you say to someone, "No, I don't want you to put your finger up my butt," but then you smile at them, does that mean your "no" is any less valid? Of course not. There's a reason they say "no means…

If someone says "no" and "stop," it is rape. You CAN'T give consent "after someone has started." You can give up, give in, stop fighting, but you can't "give consent."

Do you avoid romantic relationships because the media tells you they are soooo wonderful that you don't want to be let down? :p

You don't think people like Benioff and Weiss have people who read forums etc. for them, and then distill the mess of online opinions into more civilized, coherent commentary? You think because they said they try to stay away from online discussions that they have absolutely zero idea what people are saying?

Look, the guy having a seizure obviously needed help. So I poured some water down his throat, because dehydration is dangerous, you know? Now everyone's all pissed off and saying things like "choking" and "could have drowned." If I did nothing, you'd bitch that I did nothing. I do something, and guess what? You bitch…

Empty parking lot + 2 traffic cones. Practice = done!

I snort-laughed. Well played!

Nope.

It's that the press ought to respect women — all women, royal and non-royal — enough to not turn their momentary "wardrobe malfunctions" into salacious stories to be broadcast to millions of people.

People should just do whatever THEY want to do, and not have it be anyone else's business! Weddings are too big, weddings are too small, weddings are too cheap, weddings are too extravagant... everyone has an opinion, but I have yet to hear that opinion be how everything was "just right"! Conclusion: you can't win. If…
