Totally true and outrageous—but, again, if you have a baby there you can get access to healthcare, childcare, and everything you need to raise it. At least Ireland has the balls to actually uphold their religious convictions—to some extent. It is also probably easier to get to England with a cheap flight than it is to…

Don't kid yourself—Ireland actually does provide prenatal care.

Are they even passing regulations to make childbirth safer and accessibility to prenatal care easier for all these women?

Someone used my email address to register a PSN account without my consent. I have spent all day trying to fix this... only to be put on hold in an endless loop of bad music, disconnections and no customer service. Maddeningly, the registration email says I can tell them my email was used in error by contacting…

Yeah, from the male outside looking in also, it seems like the problem is that it's an ideological conflict about what it means to be a woman. The radical feminists who run Michfest have a particular conception of womanhood that by definition excludes trans-women and they're not going to change their own inexorable…

Honestly, I've known a few women like you in terms of behavior and never had any clue there was anything "dysphoric" about them. Of course, it's not like it's the kind of thing that comes up in casual conversation. But you don't sound particularly unusual in how you behave to me or that you're necessarily somebody…

I'm just going to take a wild guess here and assume that you didn't learn about imperialism while living in an enlightened grass hut on a Nepalese plain. I'm fairly sure you learned what you think you know about it at a nice liberal arts college, created by and funded by the same society that is so bad and shameful…

I should have been the target for the business of being born, her first movie. I used a midwife. I had a natural birth. I'm all for minimal intervention.

Yes, but one thing about wild game is, there isn't enough of it to sustain everyone. The passenger pigeon was, by all accounts, a very tasty bird. Once.

No, just tell him you're happy Obamacare will bring in the death panels so you won't have to pay for him in his dotage.

Do their employees get maternity coverage then? Are they allowed to deny maternity coverage also?

I know, right? I read somewhere that children born in Fresno and its environs actually have different lung development than children born in places with air that you can breathe.

This is quite accurate.

Me too.

Or you could walk there, except the locals would stare at you because only the homeless and poor people walk in Fresno, and doing so is suspect. Also, the air might kill you. The district is not "lined with" anything; it's about five blocks long and has a few (nice) antique stores and some restaurants.

Isn't Modesto closer to nicer parts of California than Fresno at least?

And air that you can't breathe. And valley fever!

Why oh why did I cancel cable? This awesomeness better be on Hulu.

There's a flowers in the attic remake?

I think quite a lot, yes. Thanks! The fact that you take my statement at face value, however, seems to indicate that you do not. Do you really, honestly think that other people in your community are not your responsibility? Do you really, honestly think that you will never be a 60 year-old man, or your wife a 60…
