I eyebrowed that, too.

That excuse sounds a little too "separate, but equal(but some are more equal than others)".

That's how I interpreted it.

*facepalm*

I did not know that and it makes perfect sense. Thanks.

My signature is a very consistent scribble. It pretty much literally has no letters, just squiggly lines in a vague name shape, but I do it the same way, every time. So, it works, I guess.

This is my story exactly. I was so happy when it was no longer required. My print was always more legible and faster than my cursive.

On one hand, I agree that it's good that she was trying to do the right thing.

I actually think that he started it by coming into a classroom yelling at the teacher and the students, disrupting mid-terms and acting like an asshole.

Aww. This makes me sad. While I kind of hate Finn as a character, I've always liked Cory. He seems like an honestly nice person. I hope the rehab works well for him, and I'm glad that it looks like everyone around him is being supportive.

Except for "promulgating", all of those words seem pretty common. Maybe it's just the people I hang out with.

The African Americans that voted for Prop 8 did so largely because they were Christians. Not because they were black. Same as the white people and Hispanic people that voted for it.

I've definitely had that thought about Dirty Dancing before. It's entire plot hinged on a character getting an abortion! And the movie presents Baby as getting the money for Penny as the MORAL thing for her to do. It was the Ayn Rand reading Robbie who ended up shamed for is (in)actions.

I never said baking was unimportant, I said it had nothing to do with the skills making someone a good wife/partner.

Yeah, I've donated to help the Prop 8 case and all, but I'm really waiting for DOMA. That's the bigger one, in my opinion.

While you're sounding more like a troll, I'll still respond, for now.

But being a good baker does not make you a good wife. It makes you a good baker. To assume that being able to make cookies will make you a good wife is sexist, because the skill of baking has absolutely nothing to do with the skills of being a good spouse, unless you assume it is the job of a wife to bake for her…

I'm curious to their definition of 'overweight'. If they're including people who are 10lbs overweight with people who are 200lbs overweight, the statistic isn't really useful.
