I haven't heard Nicole Kidman was a saint either.

I have first hand knowledge that she's definitely a kitten eater. Put it this way, she banned some of Keith's most long term and loyal friends from their wedding because a crappy tabloid here in Australia published some lies about Keith and she got it into her head that they were the ones saying it.

Pffft. That's crazy talk.

Oh come on, cigarettes don't need Hollywood's help to look cool.

Pretty much why I want to see this movie.

With the exception of the Hobbit and MIB3, I don't think of any of those films being particularly appropriate for kids young enough to be influenced by onscreen characters. It's not like you're going to be taking your 8 year-old to see Skyfall.

I'm still a little fuzzy on how on the one hand, we argue that violence in movies doesn't cause people to be violent, but smoking in movies causes people to smoke.

No matter how many times I watch it, it never stops being funny.

Pretty Wild was the greatest trash reality show.

Please, let it be so!

I want to see this movie only if Emma Watson had to recreate this scene.

I bought a fake rolex in Chinatown 7 years. The guy opened up his jacket just like in the movies and showed me a suave-looking black box. He asked for $80. I haggled him down to 20 and was super proud of myself. It broke a week later (like pretty much just fell to pieces).

Hmm... I don't want to knock all the good, devoted new dads out there (cuz congrats!) but just to be the voice of dissident, seeing a man with a child is a complete turn-off. I don't mean that in an "I hate children" way, but I simply view it as a giant "I'M UNAVAILABLE" sign. Like, "Oh, he's kinda cu–oh. Baby.…

It comes from the fact that women hit on you much more if you have a baby with you than if you don't.

If they were total dicks or not, it doesn't matter. You f-ed up, own it and apologize. If he's an asshole still, then you can have a bitch fit. But in the medical field especially? You need to own up to your mistakes.

I do sometimes couch my apology in disclaimers and I actually think this can be ok. Why can't a sincere apology also contain an explanation that "I didn't mean it that way" or "Here's what I was thinking when I did what I did"?

Yeahno. You lose the right to an apology the moment you go batshit banshee for a human mistake, and you probably end up in HR. Doctors are not exempt from rules against assholery and harassment. In fact, they're the worst offenders.

See I'm not sure about that. You should be sorry. That affected the pt and the doctor whose license I assume you work under.

Heh. If it ain't a stat lab, and a procedure isn't waiting on it, labs happen when labs happen. The doc sounds like a tool.

There's a flip side to this: people who see strife and start apologizing automatically for no reason because they think it'll diffuse the situation.
