You know, there are a lot of Asian dudes (arguably, most of the world). This may require doubling up.

I can't believe opium is losing. What the hell is wrong with people?

This is exactly correct. If they sold a pack of JUST those sticks, I'd work my life around it.

I would throw away the powder and just eat the sticks.

1. I had a patient once, a male in his 20s with mild-to-moderate intellectual disabilities and moderate-to-severe psychiatric problems. He was living in a group home, prone to violent outbursts, etc. but had also clearly been sexually abused by male caregivers at some point, and expected/anticipated/"wanted"* current…

I do not like reporters' smug replies when I complain about their lies.

Actually, words have meaning. The word making means you are talking about an action in progress, not one that already happened. You are saying that the author is doing the making, when in fact the us vs. them dichotomy was set up by the people who created these groups. There's no "making" going on. It's made.

No, sexual assault is very real. However, a culture that blames women for being sexual assaulted is a dangerous one because abusers get away with the abuse most of the time.

Growing up religious, this message was a large part of what made me part ways in the church. When I was 12, I remember asking about masturbation and was told that only boys do that (even though they shouldn't) and they only do it because women don't cover up enough. Then I was told that if a girl did it, it was either…

Oh, jeez. This one:

Here's an excerpt from an article on Dailykos written about his teachings and practices:

I think it was upsetting because you have no life.

DISCLAIMER: This was 45+ years ago.

My husband figured this one out on his own with our son, J. We were both spanked as kids and I'm very anti-spanking, but my husband was pro-spanking when we had our son. One evening after dinner, J was doing something (I think messing with the dogs while they were sleeping or something) and my husband smacked him on…

You know, sexuality is so confusing, these kinds of predilections can come from early experience or from nowhere at all. I was never really spanked as a child so I cannot explain my (ahem) early interest. As long as it helps rather than hinders the intimacy in your adult relationships, i figure it is all good and…

As I have said to others—spanking that turns someone into an asshole. Bragging about spanking as being a key ingredient in a "well behaved child and well adjusted adult" makes someone an asshole.

From one beatrix to another...

Oh I wish there was a "please" in her request. It went more like, "My husband is uncomfortable when you and your wife act gay. He and I would rather you both not be gay in our house or around our children." That's not verbatim, but that is the gist.

Yeah, that's what they're doing. And what's really egregious is there's no other reasonable way to characterize it. Oh, it's not a "sword for religious intolerance" it's a legal weapon that was intended for religious people that gives legal power to their bigotry? Sure, totally different thing! Nope, sorry guys -…

Might I remind you of Blackstone's formulation: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." While this was meant in regards to convicting an innocent person, my goodness it applies here too.
