I guess it was more about having power and sway over his female colleagues than it was about noodz

Meanwhile back in the subcontinent a little boy was found murdered and local officials blamed woodland spirits. And here I was thinking what a bunch of superstitious morons they were.

My interest in this topic was piqued by my cousins son. He seemed like an average newborn to me but my mother was concerned about his responses. It was years later that he was diagnosed but something was there before any vaccinations.

I was waiting for a knowledgeable commenter. Many parents, away from the vaccine hysteria, have stated that their autistic child appeared atypical long before receiving any medications. Sometimes even as a newborn. Is there anything to prove that autism is actually innate? This might take the focus off vaccines.

Yeah delivering hundreds of babies in less than optimal conditions does give me some perspective. Seriously, I’m not being judgmental but I’ve seen babies damaged by prolonged labor. Those poor mothers didn’t have half the medical choices you have. There’s a middle path between MRSA causing C sections and horrendous 4…

You went through a 4 day screaming labor? I’m sorry but that’s insane. Epidural failure or not any labor beyond 24 hours puts baby and mother at risk. If you don’t seek other alternatives at that point you are just a sado-masochist.

Holy shit woman! Epidurals are not Satan. If you were really concerned for your baby you did it no favors by letting it stew in your stress hormones for 4 days.

Except that millions of parents in the rest of the world also deal with kids like this and there is nary a gun in sight. Want to bond with your lonely kid? Take up Taekwondo or growing orchids or white water rafting. The possibilities are endless.

Bacha is little boy in Afghanistan and bazi means play with. Play not being something associated with kids. Get it?

So much This. I don’t know how the assumption that his early life is to blame came about but it’s pure bullshit. I was tearing up reading about his mother going door to door to get rid of roaches. That sounds like one devoted mama to me.

Have you ever lived in a dictatorship? I have. Unless youve been through a childhood where “they” could be coming for daddy because he criticized the government’s nationalization policy I propose that you give thanks for a system which may be corrupt and underhanded but is still giving you your rights.

Do you really think Joe Average American has anything to fear from NSA wiretapping? It must be fascinating for the Fed’s to go through endless sagas of Aunt Ediths hemorrhoids and how little Braydin pooped in the big boy potty.

Thank you for saying that. Many parents of white girls said they were being discouraged from taking AP maths in my sons school. This was in the 90’s. Not to take away from the race debate but there really is sexism involved.

I think Matildas old enough to have internet access now, maybe that plays a part. Finding out that every move you make is tabloid fodder could mess with a kid’s mind.

Dead cats?! There were no dead cats in my high school. Which Twilight zone universe has high schools like this? Where do they get a steady supply of dead cats?

I know this was a stunt more than anything else but why would anyone have nasty ass pizza at their wedding? When there’s stuff like prawn skewers and little mini quiches to be had.

There are lots of stories out there. Always have been. In med school during the pre internet era I saw a documentary about a nurse who claimed that a live baby boy was delivered and then the doctor skewered his neck with a forceps. If this actually happens I think someone would have questioned its legality by now.

Why would any abortion provider birth a live baby just to kill it on video? What is going on in Fiorinas mind that she actually believes this could happen?

Really? Christianity and Judaism are? The fellow who killed people at the Jerusalem gay pride event would tell you he was following Jewish principles. The Bible contains passages about dashing the brains of babies against rocks. Psalm 137:9. All religion is a mess. Your belief that your fairytale is superior to mine…

Imam is a ceremonial position rather than one with any actual influence and a woman Imam is not unheard of in Islamic history. On the issue of a gay Imam it’s quite likely there are some but given how sexually repressed most Muslims are I doubt they would come out publically. Most people think muslims hate gays but…
