Get some aloe for that... sick burn

I work in domestic violence, and this is an extremely common tactic. Also my ex used to threaten suicide when I was a teenager to keep me in the relationship. What women who are being abused need to know is that suicide is the choice of ONE PERSON and it is not her.

In my opinion, the fruit of knowledge that tempted Eve in the garden of Eden was a pineapple, not an apple or a pomegranate.

Believe me, I am willing to test the limits of self-defense law. I live in Texas, I could probably get away with shooting someone in the face.

We need to get the pro-lifers to protest eggplant sales. You have to show a penis and/or a negative pregnancy test to buy eggplant, and sign a sworn statement that you will not allow post-pubescent girls or non-sterilized women of childbearing age to eat it.

How specific is the disclaimer though? Because you aren’t just “immune from lawsuits” because you clicked a disclaimer. From what I recall (and it’s been... a few... years) from law school, disclaimers must be extremely specific about the risks, so it can’t just say, “possible risks could be injury or death,” you have…

That’s great, but maybe think about the fact that there are certain concessions we make to live in a society where we at least try to provide for those who can’t provide for themselves. You’re welcome to move to a country where you don’t have to pay a portion of your income so that the rest of society can benefit (as…

Yeah, fuck those poor old people and kids! I need a new boat!

But how much do you care about “fiscal responsibility” when people are literally starving in the streets? Social security benefits are barely enough to sustain living expenses - as far as I’m aware, the average benefit is around $700 a month. That’s not exactly a “safety net” or a “reward for the fiscally…

Can we stop seeing this as a return on MY INVESTMENT and start seeing this as a tax we pay to ensure that old people can fucking eat (and only barely - SS benefits are only about $700 a month)? My god, what kind of “civilization” are you envisioning here?

That’s one solution, but yes, if it means that I have to pay more for elderly people not to have to choose between medicine and cat food, well by god I’ll be happy to make that choice.

I would hazard a guess that poor people are the ones getting divorced, because even a good marriage can’t often withstand the stresses of low income: instability, juggling bills, having to find child care, etc.

Maybe that’s true for people who are over 50, but maybe it’s not the case for people who are 20-25 and just starting out in life. Some of us will be lucky enough never to miss a bill or loan payment. Some of us will graduate with a professional degree and then go almost two years without employment. It just isn’t…

Yes.

Apparently neither is prostate or testicular cancer, whereas cervical and breast cancer are.

The argument that this is about “keeping costs down” is bullshit. I would rather pay for a PAP smear than end-stage cervical cancer treatment - preventative care is ALWAYS cheaper than emergency care. We’ll go back to the way things were: people won’t get the basic, routine health care they need, and as a result,…

I was thinking about this randomly, and wanted to follow up (lol)

Well we have to keep all these women a little hotter so old men have somewhere to put their massive, raging boners because I mean who the fuck wants a gray-haired woman? Ew

Being that 1 in 3 people will get cancer over their lifetimes, I’m gonna hedge my bets on living in “urban paradise” rather than “backwater redneck trailer park”

Do you want a divorce?
