Unfortunately, cannabis psychosis is a real thing. It's very, very rare (and not a reason to ban pot) but it does exist. I have a family friend who suffered from it - they symptoms are very similar to severe schizophrenia and can include both hallucinations and delusional behavior. It took him around a year to get…

I have a family friend who had cannabis psychosis. Apparently the symptoms were very similar to serious schizophrenia, which is what people were speculating was up with Amanda Bynes. Even so, it would be disingenuous to say it wasn't a mental health problem, because it was. It just happened to have been induced by…

There was a study done a few years ago that showed that girls who received this kind of "education," if they were/became victims of sexual assault were less likely to report it, less likely to fight back, less likely to classify rape as being rape, more likely to feel they brought it upon themselves, and more likely…

I think the other one died because it was attacked. She brought a new dog home, and a few weeks later her bulldog ziggy attacked and killed it. She had to have rehome the bulldog as a result, because she didn't trust it around her other dogs anymore.

Did anyone else not know that Jumping Jesus wasn't a common phrase? East coast is best coast.

It's just a troll! Newfoundland is beloved like a quirky cousin!

I feel like a lefty woman probably (hopefully) wouldn't run on the premise that making animals cry out in pain as she performed surgery on them without anesthetic qualified her to help draft the national budget.

If she had a phantom pregnancy, she was convinced to the point that her body acted like it was pregnant, distended abdomen and all.

SO true.

It's great that you got a wonderful friend, but the money you forked over went back into funding another puppymill litter and the re-breeding of (what is likely) an ill-cared for, unhealthy dog. It's painful to see the dogs in pet stores, but paying for them just perpetuates the cycle of suffering.

Lab animals are still tattooed, but in Canada at least tattooing has been replaced by microchips for pet animals.

Home birth is only going to kill your own children with your choice. Not vaccinating you kids might kill yours, but it's more likely to kill someone else's poor immuno-compromised kid.

Whenever I read about dolphins I'm reminded of the experiment that was done with placing fake animals on a roadway. Some people tried to avoid it, some made no change in their driving patterns, and a good chunk actively tried to hit it.
Dolphins are smart enough that their individual personalities and personal…

I think it's more that they are the people of the sea. Some of them are dicks, some of them are nice, and some of them are nice but occasionally dicks.

The issue of custody and spousal support is an actual problem, and one that feminists care about. The problem is that MRAs, instead of recognizing it as being the result of deeply ingrained gender stereotypes that hurt both men and women, think it is some sort of giant feminazi conspiracy against their penises.

NOOOO

I had an unopened benefit benetint (the travel sized, double ended one) taken from me by an airport security person (Oh, no - that can't go on the plane. Sorry!) and put directly in her pocket. Unaccompanied minor apparently = free cosmetics.
