Every box store donates against the policies of the Democratic party.

High-five for being terrible people! I'm right there with you. I remember as a kid finding out how much my parents spent to keep me alive and educated, and asking my parents why the hell they kept me around if it cost that much.
It's just illogical.

I don't understand why y'all needed a recession to know babies aren't worth it. I'm way too selfish to share my time/money with a kid. No way.

Because the fact that her doctor can't predict which women will experience more severe pain is not in any way an indication that the pain is all in their heads. And that is what the term psychological (particularly paired with "mental hype" and "expectations") infers: that women are psyching themselves up and…

Nope. Not hating on the show at all. I loved it and still love it.

Skinny Girl cocktails, so people can get their pink out on in less than 20 calories.

People experience pain differently. Even people with the same physical characteristics. Why should that basic fact — which holds true across all kinds of injuries and ailments — suddenly become a question of psychology when a cervix is involved? When one person faints from a broken bone, and another limps around on…

1) because unless he wants to be a father, birth control is both your responsibilities and if you are willing to undergo a medical procedure that involves having metal shoved into your uterus, the least he can do is take an afternoon off

Yup. I work At a doctors office, and their opinion is "pain is personal"- meaning that each patient feels pain a different way, and what might seem "minor" to us , medically, could be minor to the patient as well, or could be excruciating. We treat all pain as emergent, because of this.

Some women have excruciating cramps during their periods and some have none. Some women have orgasms when they give birth and most do not. The idea that the pain is not uniform from person to person should in no way give rise to the assumption that the women who do feel it are imagining it. That's just absolute…

I have a very strong, nearly rage-like reaction to a male doctor calling a woman's physical reaction to having her cervix pried open "psychological". I'm actually sitting over here hating your doctor. Why not just go ahead and call it hysteria, doctor who doesn't have a cervix and evidently doesn't understand where…

Just wanted to say hearing someone who is wholeheartedly a believer in AR speaking so respectfully about the AW point of view MADE MY MONDAY!!!! I am going to remember how beautifully and fairly you outlined both points of view for ever more. I couldn't figure out which "side" you were on until the very end of your…

Thanks for your answer, dude. You pretty much got to the heart of my irritation with people's insistence that all shelters are n0-kill. Government shelters have to take in every animal that lands on their doorstep PLUS any animal that animal control picks up. Plus, they're usually underfunded and understaffed and in…

I frankly have not met a lot of Animal Rights folk who were not PeTA related, so it is really nice to (virtually) meet your acquaintance. I most certainly fall into the "welfare" category, although I'm willing to hear more about some of the "rights" issues side of it from folk like you.

I actually worked for a non-kill animal shelter for a while, and adopted my dog from the dog pound (which does euthanize) in the same town. So, I know some stuff about both and there are huge pluses and minuses.

Yeah. The OP basically agrees with the article's premise, just wants an exception for herself.

Of course, but not everyone equates alcohol with a good time. Usually a party is thrown to be in the company of good people. If your friends were having a dinner party and said "we don't drink but you are welcome to bring alcohol if you would like to enjoy it", would you not go because they aren't going to provide…

But wait, isn't your wedding day about you and your husband give a shit about not what your guests give a shit about? I mean, if you show up to a wedding and think "well she looks lovely, but she should have spent less on her dress and more on stuff for me!!" you probably shouldn't go to their wedding because you…

Shit is super expensive, but I don't think that changes the point. If you look at what you can contribute and what any parents are willing to chip in and it's not enough for an open bar and a sit down dinner, then you just serve appetizers, or have a buffet, or cut down your guest list, or have your reception in your…
