Well, Akin honestly thought that rape didn't cause pregnancy. I think the majority of republicans do know that it can, but just don't care.

Oops- I forgot to add that her father could be in charge of her too. I'd better add that before I offend anyone.

Still her fault. A real lady acts with decorum and is fully clothed at all times. Unless her boyfriend/husband/father/misc male relative/owner doesn't want her to. But then she still needs to do... something... because this hacker couldn't help himself.

Realistically speaking, if you're doing that much unhealthy stuff, it's even worst for you to relax with a Coke.

Doesn't the UK have stricter "Truth in Advertising" laws? I seem to recall a few makeup ad campaigns being banned because there was so much photoshopping going on. If that's true, I'm curious how long this ad will stay up.

Come on- I've got this friend, who's like half-chinese or something, and he TOTALLY always cracks jokes like this, so it's ok!

Could it just be that we're in the first generation where the majority of people are not underfed as they would have been in past centuries and also, as Tracie mentioned, people are less likely to smoke and be around smokers during their pregnancy? Those two facts combined seem likely to contribute to a baby weight…

I read somewhere that it's easy to avoid letting regret colour your life by acknowledging that your whole life would change. For example, if you have to regret a bad decision you made unless you'd be prepared to get rid of everything good that's come in your life afterwards, since none of that might have happened if…

One of the (many) reasons I don't want kids is honestly that I don't think I have the strength to combat the constant negative reinforcement that would surround any daughters I might have. Why do we live in a world where to label anything as feminine is to demean it?

Why isn't this standard? Seriously! Our penal system is bloated and ready to collapse- you'd think that people would be looking for ways to implement these types of sentences more often.

I love that phrase (getting a used one)! I'm totally using it on my in-laws :)

I just spent 2 minutes doing research, and I found that the chances for Down's Syndrome, for example, increase exponentially with age:

Rates of infertility haven't increased, but what about pregnancy problems and birth defects? It's still accepted science that your chances of a perfectly healthy and non-impaired child go down after the mid-thirties, isn't it? Not that I think everyone should rush to have kids (I'm child-free by choice myself, and…

We shouldn't judge the poor things. Look at her- she doesn't even have anything but rags to wear!

I could have kept going. I've got a tonne of vegetarian pasta recipes (I could never cook low-carb). I'm not even really a vegetarian, but I go meat free at least 75% of the time.

My favourite salad- fry a can of rinsed black beans with homemade taco seasoning and a bit of water, just long enough for the water to evaporate. Add a few tablespoons of the beans to a garden salad, and sprinkle feta cheese on top. Seems like a weird combo, but it's phenomenal.

I don't have a problem with the idea of something dying so that I can eat it. If you're honest, many creatures have to die so that we can live a modern lifestyle, vegan or not. If you look at how many animals live per square kilometer of undeveloped land vs developed land, it's easy to do the math. Not to mention…

To be honest, I don't disagree with you. I think the world is overpopulated and absolutely agree that we should have fewer children (it's a big reason in my decision to not have kids of my own). However, that's never going to happen, and in the current state of things, it seems crazy to kick someone out of a country…

Marriage, or at least moving in together, increases spending ability for people (at least as long as they avoid children), since housing costs decrease almost by half. Wouldn't that mean that more relationships start when times are rough?

Finally! My one complaint about this site is that there aren't enough man-writers telling me how to think and what to buy.
