if you fell out of love or they became a republican or whatever.

Yes, but this article is specifically talking about New York City. Clearly, by explaining the situation and a counter viewpoint, I was trying to pick a fight.

How did young people get home from softball practice before cell phones? I'm assuming there was softball back in the olden days, so....what? Uphill in the snow both ways? Or did folks sort themselves out?

Reading through these comments, it's quite apparent - people in New York City and parents of kids in New York City get it and others don't.

I'll tell you exactly why I needed my phone. I traveled an hour and a half to high school in New York City and played softball. We had practice and games all spring. We practiced at a bunch of different fields since we didn't have our own. Sometimes we practiced at a field an hour in the opposite direction, so my…

I said this to someone else up thread, but all high school students in New York City use public transportation to get to school. They don't "need" cellphones the way they need air, but yes, in most cases, they need cellphones.

I take it you don't live in New York City/didn't attend high school in New York City? There are no school buses in high school. Every student takes public transportation and/or walks to school alone. There was no way in hell my mom was sending me to school in another borough without a cellphone after 9/11 (I started…

I'm sorry, I've been reading a lot of Jezebel lately, but doesn't telling women not to have sex with men to "punish" them perpetuate the assumption that women have sex just to please men?

If it makes you feel better, I'm an atheist and was raised, for the most part, without religion. I completely understand morality and how communities work. I know you know this, but these concepts are not exclusive to religion. A school is a community, a little league is a community. And you as a parent are the…

This was fucking beautiful. Thank you.

Oooooh, my grandparents house in Florida has those. I always thought it was a Florida thing, not an 80s/90s thing till I started watching HH. So dumb though, it's the freaking ceiling, who cares???

OK so I'm not crazy, they really have started recapping the episode more than they did in the past. I seriously don't need to see House 1 four times.

Yes, Egypt Sherrod is the new host. I actually like her!

Yeah, it just says how much they paid and shows changes they've made. Other shows like Property Virgins and My First Place delve more into the whole process.

It didn't take long to figure out the show was completely fake. If you watch it regularly, you realize there are two types of House Hunters - people who want everything new (granite, stainless steel, soaking tub, double sinks, etc), and people who want "character" and "charm". If there's ever a house that was built in…

Property Brothers has to be fake, they don't even try to hide. I mean, the couple is on Property Brothers, yet terrified of a renovation.

My house, your money has got to be so fake. So freaking hilarious though.

And I HATE when they say "they replaced the fridge and the range, why didn't they replace the dishwasher???" I don't know, maybe it works perfectly fine and they didn't feel the need to spend money to replace something that's not broken?

No no, the best are the couples who MUST have double sinks in the master bath. I married you and created multiple children with you but I absolutely cannot share a sink with you. The horror!

Hmm... I never noticed that all the contestants are always the same height. Good for you, getting on Jeopardy, that's awesome. My uncle was on back in the 80s.
