Actually that's part of my point. I don't think she is taking a moderate position as a simple political calculation. A lot of people take that position on late-term abortions. I'd bet that really is her position. As much I as disagree with her, I actually admire her willingness to talk about the nuance of her opinion,…

So Wendy Davis has the same (or quite similar) position on abortion access as most pro-choice people surveyed in the US?

Oh. My point was that both sides of that 'debate' are equally absurd.

Sure. In all fairness you did get an entirely typical 14 year old-and you turned him into a monster-so you are going to have to keep him.

God forbid anyone ever find my fanfiction.net account from when I was 14, or my Sailor Moon fan site.

At least in part that's 'cause this isn't a mannequin. It's a dressform that is intended to help people making patterns or clothing to fit the body correctly. So, yeah, they look (more) like real bodies, because they aren't intended for use in display, but for making clothes that fit.

Not a mannequin! These are dressforms (or Judys).

Yep. That is 1:24 mins in, also the moment when I stopped watching.

Does anyone have a nice, affectionate bunny? It seems like all pet bunnies are jerks.

I'm so glad to hear this part of the story. Someone I know has has recently come out (to no one's great surprise) and his youngest sister is falling all over herself trying to be supportive and say all the right things. He's repaying her youthful naivety with a lot body snark about women in general, and her in…

I so appreciate this. I wish I had found it years ago.

Walking away from a person who doesn't want the same kind of friendship or relationship you do is a mature and responsible thing to do. Frankly, most of the people I've met who can do that don't complain of being 'friendzoned'. They may certainly be upset or disappointed, but accept that sometimes people don't want…

Romance isn't 'progressing further'. It's not getting to the next level and getting a shinier trophy and or a better gun. Friendship and Romance are two totally different kinds of relationships. What you've said here is exactly the flawed thinking that leads to complaints about being 'friendzoned' - the idea that a…

I think you have to have some respect for someone when they admit that their feelings make friendship impossible. That's actually taking some fucking ownership.

I'm not sure what hate you see being thrown her way (I haven't been following this closely). I can see why people may argue her opinions aren't necessarily homophobic.

I choose to believe that a loving and all-good God has determined you deserve to suffer for eternity in hell, because ya know, that's what I learned when I was a kid.

So, someone has come up with a new pseudoscientific 'code', to make people feel inferior and anxious about their sexual functions and experiences, and buy their products.

Amen. I really had expected an explanation for why Shibas are pretty tough pups to live with (or, ya know, most spitz breeds really). I grew up with a bunch husky and malamute rescues - these are just not entry level dogs. They were bred for endurance and have unbelievably high energy, are usually extremely willful…

I genuinely think you are very, and seriously wrong. I pointed out in my previous comment where I thought you were very seriously in error.

Ah well. Serves me right for assuming people are basically good and respectful, even when I believe they are in error. There are worse mistakes to make.
