@BBQcornnuts: You know, I have to say, I found that miscarriage believable. It was "convenient" in the sense of providing a way to wrap up the plot, but I could believe that her body had been a toxic environment for so long, it would be hostile to fetuses. Also, she already had four kids. It's not statistically…

@PerinealFavorite:

@deeemer: "I think if I had called a strident person who insisted that the only thing to do to save my unborn baby would be to have an abortion, I might have gone along with it. "

@Dancingfrog: The foster care system, in most cases, is aimed at restoring children to their biological families. Making adoption "more available" to foster children would mean terminating biological parental rights earlier, and more often. The reason why foster care is an "unstable" living situation for the kids is…

@Pandorasvoicebox: I agree with you. The myth that in order for an abortion to be the right choice for you, you must feel great about it, leads to many ill-advised births. Acknowledging that abortion can be a sad choice, but still the right choice, would give a certain section of the population a narrative in which…

@rixatrix: "You can believe infidelity is morally wrong, but people who are in open relationships would disagree with you."

@adriadne: This seems to be because of the decision to pull more content from other blogs, rather than creating original Jezebel content. I believe the Sandra Bullock article you reference was "republished with permission", as was this one.

@starsnostars: I'm skeptical as well, but for the same reasons as egg cream.

@barb95: Apparently there are very strict rules about the way text appears on movie posters. There was an article on Gawker or this site, explaining why the poster for "Funny People" had no text - because adding text which conformed to the rules would have created an aesthetic nightmare. The order of names from left…

@lisas: Hey, us French might be xenophobic, but we love the homos! Vive le Quebec Liberace!

@starsnostars: He was unconscious when this allegedly happened. Alcohol can intoxicate one to the point of insensitivity. I presume this means that one can be physically manipulated or injured and not be able to respond due to the level of impairment.

@AmberNicole: This comment gives me a tingle of macabre curiosity. I seek out partners who will care when I care, because I care. When I try to imagine being with someone like your boyfriend, I get a creepy chill down my spine. It must be so different!

@Bunsen Honeydew: And an animal abuser.

@Cesybabe or Nirvanah Crane: Do you Kiwis have Austar? They would always re-run it on... Tuesdays, I think.

@Cesybabe or Nirvanah Crane: Teryl-Leigh was like a salt-shaker of insanity, who paired perfectly with the pepper-pot which was Hosanna's delusional smugness. I wanted to punch both of them in their guts. It was a warm, pleasant feeling.

@kung fu lola: Erm, that was supposed to read ..."wearing a "no fat chicks" t-shirt ...."

@Perpetual Ingenue: I think some of the hopelessness comes from a realization that, as much as one can strive to be a good person, contribute positively to the human race, be confident and smile, whether we are in a relationship or not is at least 50% out of our control, and there is nothing we can do to turn those…

@Perpetual Ingenue: Yeah, about being "tuned in", I don't think about that often, because it hurts my heart that there are people who choose not to live any of their lives in the "sacred" sphere, or don't know how. But I know they exist. I am really lucky that my amazing Mom taught me how to do it, and that I have…

@andromache fugit tempore: I see what you are saying, but I think it's reaching. For one thing, I think children who have violent impulses take them out on animals because they are easily overpowered and not likely to be missed, and it's easier to avoid detection. I don't think that abusing animals creates or whets an…

@echoparkgal: Don't feel guilty, carers of children have been occupying little'uns thusly for centuries - literally. Read Little House On The Prairie. In the context of human history, the percentage of children who've lived in idleness until the teen years is infinitesimally small, and helping with the tasks of daily…
