It’s not like the plot of the Lone Ranger movie wasn’t written for the movie in the first place, though. It’s not like they took a plot from the original show and expanded it into a movie. I am sick of remakes and agree with you, though - All the remakes from the past decade would have been much better if they were…

I have a feeling Sarah Palin believes that Obama is not allowed to invite anyone to the White House unless he personally calls Bill O’Reilly and gets his permission first. Every goddamn time Obama has someone at the White House conservatives throw a fit. It’s his house!

“What kind of name is Mohamad?”

There is a strong bipartisan consensus in America that taxpayer money should not be used to fund abortions.

Pennsatucky, anyone?

Maybe unload the kids on grandma and grandpa and go on a short, romantic vacation (or staycation - just get a hotel room in your hometown!) to re-connect. I’ve been with my hubby for over a decade, so I know the feeling of the shiny exterior being worn off, but maybe if you spend a few days alone with him, you’ll…

Could be, but this was in Denver where recreational marijuana is legal, so I don’t see why he would both with synthetic stuff (not that I don’t think his defense is complete BS).

Seriously. Insanity caused by edibles my ass. All “too much weed” does is make you take a 12-hour nap.

I’m sure it does - and don’t make that assumption with your husband. I’mm 100% sure that my hubby prefers late-20’s lefty vs. early 20’s lefty. Early-20’s lefty was a neurotic pain in the ass.

I think once you hit around 30+, a 7-8 year gap isn’t creepy. It’s when you get over 10 years and start to get into “old enough to be her dad” territory that it gets creepy. When you get into 20+ years then it really gets creepy (unless you’re famous or something, I suppose, though I still find it creepy - Johnny…

Guess he won’t be issuing any marriage licenses then, since sodomy is any sexual act that is not missionary-style procreative sex and I don’t know many married people who do only missionary-style procreative sex...

Oh man - I gotta know what kind of wrong information this guy was trying to teach you. Do you remember any of the things he said?

It pisses me off that only boys are taught about sexual urges. Female sexual urges were never discussed in my school - not in elementary school, not in middle school, not in high school. I thought I was a straight-up freak for feeling sexual attraction until...well, probably college, now that I think about it. Girls…

That’s amazing. We didn’t start any type of sex ed (and I went to US public school) until the 5th grade, and it was all about “what you need to expect from puberty.” I was well into puberty by then. Sure would have been helpful to know what the hell was going on with my body (parents were very conservative and did not…

Ours were taught by gym teachers. Overwhelmingly older, white, male gym teachers. I wish my bio teacher was the one who taught sex ed - she was a feisty liberal lady and we would have learned a lot more!

It also completely overlooks male victims of sexual assault too. I’m sure that men get coerced into sex a lot more than we realize.

Let’s see...condoms cause cancer, so don’t use them, “I’m legally not allowed to tell you what an abortion is,” the horrors of pregnancy, childbirth, and STI’s, and absolutely nothing about relationship violence, sexual assault, sexual identity, gender identity, oral/anal sex, or masturbation.

Seriously. I usually watch DWTS but I think I’ll be skipping this season.

I feel like it’s probably a combination of internalized misogyny and insecurity. I think women are cruel to other women in sex work in part because they fell threatened by them in some way - just like women are cruel to other women who they may find more attractive than themselves.

One time where being short is an advantage: “ankle pants” are the perfect length for regular pants for me :-)
