I am so sorry that you had to see this vicious comment. Thank you for the story it was enlightening and enraging to realize that a woman in New York! had to fly somewhere else to terminate a non viable baby. I wish I could give you a hug this was so clearly a hard experience for you. I too was furious with the…

I don’t know why I am bothering to try and explain but ... your comment is very insulting towards Jia. She had to sit and talk to that poor lady and you are accusing her of using an interview so difficult that the woman ASKED HER IF SHE WAS OK for clickbait. Secondly the title is in no way misleading it is completely…

You know what’s funny the NRA, those who like guns swear up and down that the people who currently have these weapons are the good guys, responsible gun owners etc etc. So then if that’s the case obviously we don’t need to worry about the ton of guns already out there. Therefore they should be all for banning further…

To continue your analogy the unfortunate choice is that there is no opportunity for her not to be hit at all. I dunno maybe she lives in a country where women are not allowed to live alone. If she can only be open hand slapped or punched it would be stupid to go for the punch. Especially since the guy who punches her…

In fairness to them though it is really really blasphemous and yes I’ve seen it and yes I love it.

Yeah I know. I have a LOT of Indian friends working in tech and it kinda made me and the Indian women at work annoyed that they would be living on their own and of course cooking and cleaning and then they would get married and BAM their wife is making them lunch to bring to work regardless of whether or not she…

I know more than one but ... they had different expectations than Americans do. The one I know who is happiest expected that he would work hard and provide money for the family and that she would stay home with the kids - but it was what she wanted. They didn’t expect more than that but they now are happy because they…

Hah did you ever see the Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode where one of the sisters has a white husband and her sisters are trying to ask why and then he comes in saying something like how he changed the baby and fed her and what would she like for dinner? They were like - nevermind. It is stereotyping but the…

I’d guess not much since they have a guest bedroom. You simply go to the guest bedroom for sex. Think about it there are many countries where the parents only have one room period. If marriages dissolved because of this it would be seen there.

Only if they increase the driving age to 21. I believe that is why the drinking age was increased in the first place. I know in my home country the drinking age is 17 or 18 but almost no one under early 20s can afford a car.

That is not true in my experience but it is complicated. Most of my friends and myself agree that the base happiness is essentially the same but the highs are higher and the lows lower. We all agree that if you think you don’t want kids though you are better off not having them because the stress/expense is too high…

That does not follow. The fact that maternity leave is due to physical effects of birth does not mean that bonding time is not important. It is if you are asking whether people should not be allowed time off for losing a spouse/child because hey they did not have heart surgery.

Depends on what you ask

Good for you. You’re right. n***a from a white person does not feel much less like a threat than n****r. Maybe at best it’s I’ll beat you up vs want to kill you.

Hah I’m a biracial person and I’m actually in a relationship but it is not interracial. I always find it totally funny.

I agree with you that stereotyping is not fair but at the same time I wonder why they would think that Trump would be less anti war than Hilary or more for fossil fuel divestment or more likely to provide even cheaper college. I have seen no evidence for any of that. Also I don’t understand anyone for whom the fact…

All that is very nice but “short term pain” is more than an abstraction when you don’t have enough money to feed your kids right now and Republicans are going to cut food stamps. Sure long term poverty matters but sacrificing the poorest people and making their situation worse so the DNC will learn their lesson is…

She has too many abhorrant values compared to Trump a vile racist, or Cruz an anti Muslim bigot? You are making a choice between two options. Saying you will not vote for her may put Trump or Cruz in the White House. Do you remember that George Bush who is vastly better than either Trump or Cruz is responsible for the…

I just can’t be cynical enough to believe that people care more about being anti establishment than making sure that someone who is a racist, bigoted, sexist who endorses torture, wants to order the US army to murder children and has no clue what they are doing is not the next President of the United States. I just…

That 70% figure includes all Independents which includes massive levels of support by younger voters. Those percentages raise the numbers for Independents in general. The problem is that younger voters are less likely to vote so it becomes a lot closer once only likely voters are factored in. Frankly I am enough of an…
