@Cry4Hemp: Yeah, in this instance, it's definitely a threat. But here in the Good Ol' USofA, it's usually the case of "oh she was raped? Well SluttyMcSlutFace went to a bar with her friends! She was asking for it!"

Here's an analogy: if someone were walking around in a bad neighborhood at night and they got murdered, would the killer be acquitted? The victim WAS walking around in a bad neighborhood, so he was "asking" for it, right? He "deserved" what he got, and the killer just couldn't help himself.

@ceejeemcbeegee: I understand where you're coming from. But putting the face of an old man (of course it has to be a man, ugh) in robes who sits on a cloud all day freaks me out. It doesn't matter if I put the face of a female, or of a duck on it.

@rose0red: *whiny rationalizing voice* But can't you see it's just a jooooooke? Get over it you humorless feminist bitches.... they're just joookes..... People are AGEIST about John McCain when they call him old! White Christian Males are the only people whom it's okay to make fun of these days!

Oh, they forgot this one: [i14.photobucket.com]

@LoveNoelG: My dad's gf just sent a mass email around with a picture of Obama with a "White House" sign next to him, and the exact saying on the pin below it.

@slightlyhardup: Ooh the dress registry... all the stores around me had one because it was SO GODDAMN IMPORTANT.

I was the only little girl who loved Joey over Justin, Lance, and J.C. *SHAME*

@misssgolightly: Oh, not to mention the friend who had been "DREAMING ABOUT PROM SINCE I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD SO IT HAS TO BE PERFECT CAUSE ITS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE " is now talking about how she's "BEEN DREAMING ABOUT MY WEDDING SINCE I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD SO IT HAS TO BE PERFECT CAUSE ITS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE".

Prom was the biggest waste of time, energy, and money of my life. My neurotic friends starting obsessing about it a year ahead of time, and starting their dieting/tanning regimens in January (Prom was in late June), while my bf and I watched in horror.

I can't even sit on a plane without getting harassed because of how god damn beautiful I am.

@Tangy.Nihilist: @ceejeemcbeegee: Thanks for the advice!

@ceejeemcbeegee: I wish I were a few years older, because I could take ridiculous advantage of these cheap buying prices nowadays. By the time I start buying a house in four or five years, I've been told the market will probably bounce back and prices will rise.

Toothbrush in the urethra?!??! I remember hearing in jr. high that for STD tests for guys, they stick a mini q-tip up there and all the boys screamed at the horror of that. A toothbrush, though??! Jeezus.

@Tangy.Nihilist: Yeah, but if you rent, you may eventually want to buy. So isn't it better to start saving money and paying towards the mortgage now rather than later?

Wait, can someone better explain this to me without using anal sex bartender analogies?!

@whynotshesaid: That sounds awesome. Seriously.

It's amazing how much my thoughts on weddings have changed in the past few months. I used to be the big-dress-all-my-friends-every-family-member-on-the-face-of-the-earth-big-catering-hall type.

@SarahMC: Yeah it's pretty pathetic. She BOUGHT HIM A WEDDING RING two months ago without telling him.

Ughhh a family member's girlfriend is OBSESSED with getting married and never stops bringing it up. She doesn't even hint anymore, it's blatant begging. (They've been together for 7 months).
