not only did she have an undetectable load, but she also had no HIV antibodies. Meaning there was no physical evidence of an HIV infection. (I am HIV- and I would have undetectable levels of the virus in my blood if I were to have a viral load test and no HIV specific antibodies.)

Unless the child was raped by someone with HIV, or intentionally reinfected in some way (like through a needle) it's not really possible. Also, if this was the case the virus would likely be different genetically.

No, sorry. I'm not insulting anyone. I am saying that if it is important to them it can be done. Period.

I didn't cloth diaper because I don't really see the value in it, and I prioritized other things. I also lived in a not perfectly clean house, and worked out instead.

I don't understand? No one said you had to start working out if you don't want to. But don't act like you can't make it a priority if you wanted it.

I didn't put down anyone. But as a mom you're all about how it can't be done and it can. It takes effort, and consistent work and it's not easy but it can be done.

My kids threw tantrums when they were toddlers, but my 7 year old doesn't. My older child is at the age where she has hormonal mood swings that can

I have kids. It can be done. I work, too. Full time even. Out of the house. As does my husband.

Yes I have a 7 yr old. and a 10 yr old. They don't make the rules or run the house. I do. The end.

and who is the parent here?

OK- I have heard this before. I have seen quotes where she talks about blanket training. But she doesn't specifically say that she hits her kids in this instance as far as I have seen. Got links?

uh huh."revive". You can take a look at her filmography and television work, there is hardly a year where she is not active. She's widely considered to be the hardest working comedian in show business and she's incredibly successful. Very few comedians have her notability.

You have Youtube? She's been a comic since the late 50's, I'm sure you can find a clip or two.
There is a reason Carson adored her and wanted her to be his successor.
This is a personal opinion thing- you don't like her- whoop dee for you. I don't like many respectable comedians because they're just not my cuppa, but

Nope. Sorry. I repeat my statement. Come off it already, you're not better OR kinder because you laugh at different things than I do. Period.

Chances are- we'll have very similar levels of empathy about this situation (and all other heinous cases of violence and abuse) but instead you'd rather focus on how our

Are you even familiar with Joan's catalog of work? This is classic Joan material. She's a veteran, and has remained more or less relevant for DECADES based on humour like this.

NOPE. It is the duty of comedians to MAKE JOKES. That's it, that is where it ENDS. They bear no special social responsibility.

She's a hilarious comedy queen. Yes she is hateful, that is what makes her hilarious. If you don't like it- fine - no one is forcing you to watch her. But perfectly good, wholesome people love to laugh at dark, vile, and mean shit sometimes and there isn't anything wrong with that either.

Thank you. Joan Rivers is a fucking comedy Goddess. People don't have to like her comedy, but then don't fucking listen to it and leave me and Joan alone to laugh at her hilarious jokes.

I believe 100% that comedians get carte-fucking-blanche when it comes to their craft. Don't like it? Fine. No one is forcing you to

Yes exactly

and? The rest of my points still stand. Still very much a choice to stay home at that point.

at ~ 15% tax rate (what I pay making around the 45K mark), you'd be "losing" about 6750 K to taxes, leaving you with an annual *net* gain after daycare. And you'd have continued work experience, continued retirement
