I would have used it to murder my Barbies that my mom insisted I play with.

I can really get behind that. People seem to treat you differently once you're pregnant. All of a sudden the fact that I was having sex was shoved into my family's face, they were uncomfortable with the whole situation. But in the end they supported me 100%. My favorite part is when my beloved Midwestern Sunday School…

I thought of Bill... Good ol' Bill.

'Promotes rape and violence against women' should be an option.

I reported it, and I see some people have stated this is a pro-rape site. Good idea - it's harder for FB to ignore it if that's the top comment - let's all pile on and report!

It'd get demolished in 2.5 seconds.

Maybe it has to do with her looking like a grown-up. Like mom. We take out the frustration over our complete lack of power as children out on the mother doll. Until you turn 11 at least theres no negotiation over what mom says, you just have to do it. I think that lack of autonomy as very young children may have…

Back when he was a zoo DJ before he got into this scam, he was on some anti-gay rant and a caller asked if he thought people choose it, and he said yes. Caller asks if Beck chose to be attracted to women rather than men, and Beck said yes, and the caller said he had pretty much just defined bisexuality. Beck got…

I like bandcamp. I like bandcamp alot. Most of the artists there run their own sites and allow full streaming for free on any material they have. Plus bandcamp allows the artists to set their own prices, and a few I like even have name your own pricing options, giving you a great way to sample artists music, legally…

The victim is always to blame if she's female. Period.

Punishments are weird. I was spanked on occasion for major breaches (slipping away from my dad and getting myself lost at the county fair when I was about 10), but for the most part, the only things I did "wrong" as a kid were not getting 100%s on every test I took and the occasional smart aleck remark. I think my…

Personally, I don't ignore the tantrum. I don't give in, but I treat it as what it is: A toddler having a strong emotional reaction. I'm sure it isn't pleasant! He doesn't understand these emotions he's having! So I sit with him and speak to him in a soothing voice, and when he's done, he runs into my lap and hugs me…

From what I've read, at that age, what's really important is that you're acknowledging the kid's emotions and responding to them.

I have a legitimate question about time outs. They were never used on me, but I know if they had been, I would have been actually thrilled with it. I had a seriously over active imagination and was an only child, so any down time I had was spent making up stories in my head or pretending. I was pretending at 2. So…

My newly-minted 12 year old told me she had a "kind of a girl-crush" on Rachel Maddow and I nearly wept with pride. :)

Why are we surprised? This is a guy who, as a young man, held down another boy and forced a haircut on him. As an adult and "bishop" in his district he was an asshole to women for whom he was supposed to be a spiritual advisor. He's never done anything to convince me that he isn't a flaming prick.

I went to the doctor for some follow-up on my fun new food allergies and mentioned that, the week before my period, I become actually, literally borderline suicidal. It becomes difficult to not cry, it becomes difficult to do basic functions, and there is not enough sleep in the world. (The moment there is blood: over…

I think you represent the majority. The kids who get drunk, flail around, get sick, and depend on one another to help their friends home and hold their heads if they have to. The poor girls in this story weren't so lucky in their acquaintances.

Mine isn't massive. I said it's only about seven thousand. However, every once in a while my wife asks in an exasperated tone of voice, "Don't you have enough music?"
