American in the UK here — I technically did this: gave birth at 2am, headed home in the late afternoon, though I did get a snooze in in between. And in fact I’d’ve been encouraged to leave even earlier if the room was needed, but I stuck around because my mom wanted to stop by and see it. This was at a midwife-led…

I realize that many folks think “McMansion” means “big house that I think is ugly,” but the term more correctly refers to being mass-produced using techniques designed to imitate fine craftsmanship. While the Giudice mansion may be crass and probably is shoddily built, nothing that big is a standardized product, not…

Is that what McMansions look like these days? Looks like a regular mansion to me.

it could not legally have been consensual sex since her blood alcohol level was too high to render her capable of consent. Legally according to canadian law he was guilty of comitting sex assault regardless of the fact that she died. The assault was aggravated, as proven by the direct evidence - her wounds- she died…

I was so with you, right up until the last word.

"Find three unrelated witnesses"

So...investigate?

If she can afford to live in a swanky loft space (by whatever means), $350-$500 for an abortion is probably not a big deal to her. Thus, not a discussion point?

get over yourself.

You avoided driving when possible? You are the moral winner!

I am, truthfully, surprised at the overwhelming amount of comments that are condemning this consideration. I fully and openly support various improvements to the labor industry—living wages; vacation, sick, and family time; not subjecting people to overwork; paying for overtime, and so on—but I also support abolishing…

Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson are in the "hip hop crowd" now?

Just had to say that that's awesome that you were able to do that. Good for you! This poor girl though. It's all too awful. But your post made me see that some people can and do survive addiction, so seriously, thank you for sharing.

As someone who barely survived drug addiction at her age with a fully supportive family and many friends who helped me get clean, I cannot imagine what it would be like with a bunch of enablers around me. Honestly, I'd probably be dead.

Maybe Vanessa didn't want to get married?

That doesn't strike me as a bad deal at all if she has the money. A regular retirement home is $80,000 a year according to Google, and you don't get lobster or ballroom dancing every night at one of those.

This fag will. Allowing the far right freedom of speech means guaranteeing the same right for the progressive left. We can place minor restrictions on fundamental rights, we can criticize, argue, and divest, but in the long run, freedom of speech for all means that even the most marginalized have a voice.

I am saying they were heroes. They knew precisely what kinds of risks they were running by running those cartoons and articles and by continuing to work there. That takes courage, to know that your life could be forfeit at any moment and to continue to go to work everyday anyway. In North America, there does not…

Hi!

Some of these comments...

What the French Far Right want is to oppress and isolate the Muslims and immigrants (and this gives them the perfect rationale for furthering their cause). And what the Muslim extremists want is for the Muslims to be oppressed and isolated, because that radicalizes the population and turn them into eager Al-Qaeda…
