In other news, people who aren't completely satisfied with their love lives are more likely to have affairs, and hungry people are more likely to eat.

Texting and even talking on a phone is so much more dangerous than speeding. I wish cops would concentrate on that more than people going 60 km in a 50. We were following someone yesterday who was on his cell, and the idiot almost caused a major accident because he didn't realize that he was in an intersection with…

I hope you're prepared for the world economic meltdown that would occur if Western countries boycotted every country that didn't take violence against women seriously. They wouldn't even really be able to trade with each other, for the most part.

How do you define natural? I don't wear makeup, but I use special moisturizers and oils to cleanse and condition my skin. I wash my hair, and use henna treatments on it to make it a little redder. I wear a hat any time I'm in the sun, partially because I'm already susceptible to skin cancer, but also to slow aging. …

"as well as the bodies of seven human sacrifices"

I've noticed that the cases that seem to make the biggest news are cases where the woman was out with a male friend/coworker/family member. I wonder if there's still the sentiment that "See? THESE women were chaperoned, and were doing everything properly, so it's an extra tragedy that they were raped" going on.

Wtf? That's insane!

I can't even be proud of my finger pads. I've got a number of small scars around them due to my love of sharp (kitchen) knives combined with general clumsiness.

The only body part I can think of off hand that fits all requirements are my ears. They're nice and small, and close to my head. I think I need a do-over for the rest of me.

The number of items that society tells me is wrong with my body is overwhelming.

"Medicaid doesn't cover circumcision in 18 states"

Short version for anyone who can't be bothered to read a lot:

This scares the crap out of me. I used to take cabs fairly often, since I didn't have a car and wanted to be out later than the limited bus system in my city allowed. One time a driver gave me his card and told me to call him direct instead of going through the agency when I needed a ride. At the time I just…

Sorry if I wasn't clear- I wasn't trying to reinforce those stereotypes. I just thought that it was easier, not perfectly simple.

Could it be that women don't need these as much as men because it's easier for women to find a casual partner? I'm asking this question as someone who's never 'hooked up', so it could be totally ignorant, but any friends or coworkers I've ever had who wanted casual sex never had a problem going out to a bar or…

I wonder if it's also because, statistically, women are more likely to be in a committed relationship. I know once I started walking naked around my partner and realized he loved the way I looked, it was much easier to stop caring about the things I'd thought of as flaws. I wish I could say I was that self-confident…

Ouch. As a non-mother, the way that baby is clutching handfuls of boob makes me wince.

You totally just described me (although I try to keep the snickering inaudible). As soon as I see bookshelves in someone's home, I do my best to maneuver over there. If they're not readily accessible, or really out of the way (although then I have to ask what the point is), they taunt me all evening long. I don't…

Love it!

I'd rather not warn people. When I invite someone over for the first time, their reaction to my 4 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves was a great indication of how we'd get along. If they walked right over, stood in front for a few minutes, and lost their train of thought, we'd be best friends.
