This may not speak well of my judgment as a teen, but as a young queer teen who didn't realise I was attracted to women because I didn't even really understand what attraction was, I wouldn't and didn't seek out advice. So I think just having the info in such an easily accessible place could lead people to seek out…

It could also be a useful resource for young women just discovering their sexuality. Cosmo also does basic sex articles for the young un's as well. This could be a 'socially acceptable' way of accessing information for young lesbians. Not disagreeing with your assessment, just saying it can also have a positive effect…

I'm really surprised how much negativity this has produced. I thought you made some really good points, and it is certainly an article that makes me think. Free speech 'rights' in America are really funny from my foreign perspective. People bitching that you're 'telling them what they can/can't say' don't realise that…

I forgot about the advertising factor; that will go a ways in changing public use. I guess American use of 'Tylenol' is a tad different than in Australia? Paracetamol is brand-named Panadol in Aust. and is over the counter. Even the codeine combination is OTC (pharmacy only though). I personally never use panadol, as…

My mums besty was a lainie ('lanie', 'laney' or something to that effect), and a late teen/early twenties in the 90's, so there was at least one!

Thanks for that view point. All these skeptics and people who have studied it but never actually tried it are not as useful. I know we aren't supposed to take anecdata so seriously, but if a placebo works, then is it really a placebo at all? And can you placebo a dog?

What are the chances people are going to stop using paracetamol products though? "It's worked for x amount of years/people, it must be true!" is a powerful psychological decider in choosing treatment options.

I was going to star this, thought it looked too much like I was recommending death to cats (I quite like cats actually) so am replying to show my support that there are too many medical risks to alternative (vego, vegan, restrictive) diets for largely meat eating animals who have not evolved to handle the variety of…

I've had the same damn thing happen more than once at work when I'm serving at the counter. I work in a food market.. Mine was unexpected morning sickness mid order. Because having to swallow a small amount of vomit so you can tell your customer "Have a nice day!" is always a pleasant way to start your own.

I was just thinking that! I have a jelco in my arm and can't even move or bend it (my arm) at the elbow without risking damaging my vein. If I pulled it out, blood would spurt EVERYWHERE

I haven't watched more than the first 2 episodes; it just didn't interest me. I'm such a buffyverse fan, it felt like Eliza was playing Faith again, but as a brainwashed doll.. So it gets better?

I was just about to shake my head at you and internally disagree, then I realised I watched it all while I was writing my assignments for uni... and kept up with each story line. So, yeah. Great to watch if you're anything like me and have to do to things at once because your brain is a circus, but not so great if you…

On free to air in Australia, we get constant replays of season 1 only, because it's the only sci-fi license they have. This and supernatural. Would love any of these other 'bad season' shows to be played, just for some variety for those of us with tight budgets and foreign access.

Simons development as a character is so amazing, I definitely recommend it; however I don't recommend the season(s?) following..

Wow, are we the same person? We have the same eating patterns! I wonder if that and our similar attitude to food is related? Hmmm.

Yeah I'm getting teenage story vibes from this one... It sounds like what I've overheard some of my students in the past fantasizing about me. You know, helping with their homework and 'accidentally' leaning my boobs onto their backs. Or coming round their house because they took the wrong test home.. I'm in my mid…

I have the same tendency! I think I assume other people are as relaxed about it as I am, but I need to remember that I am privileged to have an hourglass figure so putting on weight for me doesn't effect my self confidence, just my fitness, as I get butt, thighs and boobs, and my stomach pooches a little, but my jaw…

Someone asked a question, DaisyLady contributed her part, stop stuffing around and contribute something worthwhile instead of insulting others for answering a question asked of them, and in no way directed at you!

Haha my first tutor called them the Ivory Tower Idiots. All these 'learned' anthropologists acting like they were studying animals, not other humans. So glad the language in anthro has moved past it... Mostly..

I think you could be right. Until this article I didn't know this was a thing. I'm not American and am white; the main people I associate with are from asia and the middle-east, and I have heard awful racist stereotypes directed at those people, so it doesn't surprise me that this one exists as well, but it really…
