This is a discussion board, not a scientific journal, asshole. Anecdotal evidence/experience is not prohibited here; it's the whole point. I have seen this effect play out many times in many family dynamics, including my own, over a range of issues.

In 1991, women who had had sex ed, birth control and abortion available their whole lives were starting to have kids. These children have grown up in a world where birth control is ok and expected, and with less shame about sex (there's still too much idiocy and shame out there, but it's miles better than it used to…

"I called the police, who came to the Panera and told me they couldn't file an official report if the man was gone."

Does anybody think it's odd that the Mayor of Ferguson's name seems to have never come up in any of this? Turns out he's apparently a 31-yo Republican and ex-Ferguson PD officer:

Target does NOT have lots of plus sized options, especially not in-store. As Chastity mentioned in her boycott post, about six months ago Target pulled nearly all of its plus-sized clothing out of the stores, replacing it with a sign saying that something new was coming. It's been over six months and all that's left…

There aren't many places to buy cheap plus sized clothing. That's the thing.

Well I guess the problem is that there aren't that many places to buy plus sized clothing. Target is an easy and visible target for a boycott because it will hopefully get the attention of the public.

THIS. Seriously. When I saw the little sign jammed among the maternity and swimwear this summer that said "New Plus options coming soon," I actually scoffed. Do they really think I am that stupid? Their damn sign practically had more allotted floor space than their shitty plus-size collection does.

"We'll also be introducing a new plus line in the near future that features a focus on the latest styles, all at great prices."

There is a perception among law enforcement to view any action done by a POC as threatening. White people can walk around with guns strapped to their backs, shout, express their anger loudly and its no big deal. If a black man raises his voice you can see cops get twitchy with the trigger. It is sadly sometimes worse…

Keep recapping Kelly! Oh, but I was promised (by some hot guys in kilts no less) at Comic Con that "The Kilt drops on 8/9." It's now 8/18, and I have yet to see a hot Scot's kilt drop. See what I did there?

I know I'm being a pedant, but I though if it was really going to bug you about the show, I'd double check to be certain Claire is described as brunette in Outlander. Her hair is curly- as is the hair of the actress-but the actress' hair is certainly darker than the brown hair of Claire. I loved the scene in this…

Claire is consistently described as having brown hair, though it is often described as light brown.

Ultimate bonus points because the author got the idea for the book from Doctor Who.

This is why you should never time-travel alone, only in the company of a licensed Doctor.

That's the plan!

Belmar is the chief of County police. The chief of Ferguson police is actually a whole different idiot named Tom Jackson.

You can't leave a child alone whilst you go off to work, that's what swung having a dog for me.

Before, anyone could post on groupthink. Now, you cannot post unless they have "chosen" you to post. Everyone says it is super easy to do so if you routinely go to/comment on GT posts. However, while I do that and find GT to be a great place to hang out, there have been times I would like to post my own thing to GT…

Spot-friggin' on. It started off being unreliable, as much new technology is, but has since made it ridiculously easy for the trolls to take over. And now, earnest readers are powerless to do anything about it. Dear Denton - there was nothing wrong with the grayed-out/star system for the vast majority of the…
