I respect it when she says she does not like that, but I was disappointed. Especially since the first time we got down I asked and she said she was surprised I liked it and claimed she loved guys doing that. Apparently she thought I was lying and would quit after a minute? The second time together I was going down and…

The newspaper piece was not bad. If I had come across it and read it without reading the sensationalism first, I would have thought nothing of it. The partisan attack machine twisted it to make it sound much worse than it was. Jeff Davis himself has said the attacks were unfair and based on out of context quotes and…

Federal sentences should be viewed as longer than comparable state prison sentences. As I understand it, Federal prison has no early release unless extreme, unforeseeable circumstances arise during the sentence*. Many states have early release policies. In Texas, a 25 year sentence could easily get pared down to 14…

The article starts out stating how easy it is to get an underaged girl prostitute. How horrible! Then it talks about trafficking and then funneling of a dubious number of "women and girls." ...meaning it is probably much easier to find a 30 year old prostitute than a 15 year old one, and the 30 year old drove down…

I hope these two are back. I loved the commentators! A+ writing, directing and performances for them.

Yeah, there are always those who speculate it was really about hygiene. Centuries from now, apologists will speculate that Christian opposition to condoms was really about latex allergies and concerns about expired and improperly stored condoms. And how do hygiene considerations fit in with their disdain for fondling,…

Come on, leave suspects' and convicts' families out of it unless they were party to the crime.

Is Ted Haggard going to Sochi? He would be welcome since he is completely heterosexual.

Really? Wow. I know some demographics are more sexually precocious than others, but among all girls in public health studies I have seen have before age 15 sex in the 5-10% range. Girls that end up going to college seemed to be about half the rate of those that do not.

There is a surplus of men in India due to sex-selective abortion (in that region, rough 85-90 women for every 100 men, according to the Wikipedia map). In the minds of a society that tolerates widespread sex-selective abortion, that make vaginas a scare commodity and an offense to provide an outsider access to a…

In fairness, think about it: two people were just tied up and told to pay a massive fine. When one did not pay, your leaders ordered an act of violence against her. Are you going to stand between the authorities and who knows how many angry people willing to gang rape the victim? If so, prepare to become a victim of a…

It was illegal, sure, but this is one case where I feel illegal does not equal immoral. The California penal code is not a model of clear writing, but it seems to be a misdemeanor with no minimum sentence. Give her "community service, time served."

Manipulating body weight by manipulating temperature works super well in rodents (I have done experiments). Also, rodents don't complain. They want to bite you if you keep them warm, hot, cool or cold. However, the devil is in the details. There is a threshold temperature where it makes a difference.

I grew up in Gingrich's district and he seemed to win on 2 things: (1) being the incumbent Republican and (2) not being a Democrat. In fairness, many conservatives had problems with Gingrich's behavior. When his district was divided up after redistricting, he was never able to win another office. My socially…

The data are not published yet. Dr. Swaab has publications on prenatal environment, development, adult outcomes of prenatal environment, differences between male and female brains, pain and dementia. If he were American, he would have certainly earned a place in the National Academy of Sciences. This does not mean he…

You are so disgusted a few minutes in you need a towel to feel clean again.

No, the Supreme Court only allows protests on nearby sidewalks and a protest area that can barely be seen from the door. You cannot get anywhere near the door of the building. This is for security reasons because SCOTUS could be in danger, but nobody has ever threatened, attacked or blacked access to a clinic that…

Yeah, the pro-life crowd should be for supporting new moms. Many in their leadership are. However, the rank and file by and large don't care enough to even show up to a rally (without legislators and doctors to call murders and women to slut-shame, what's the point?).

Exactly. Even the article says ignore them. They support themselves by provocation. WBC waits for someone to hit a member or a town to deny permits and then they sue. If people ignored them, they would run out of money and be confined to their tiny corner of the world.

Your honor, he told me I could not take the gold, or the rings or the necklaces. I took the cash out of the register and the silver settings, which he did not say I could not take because he was hoarse and therefore I stole nothing.
