Sorrynosorry-

But *that's their neighborhood.* That's their normal.

"So it goes" is a phrase has followed me through life. It has been a catch-all explanation. It has been a crutch. But since my sophomore year of high school, it's been there. Kurt Vonnegut was the first author who really got me thinking about what I was reading, instead of just binging on words.

Barbara Gonyo, who coined the term GSA and noted its emergence alongside relaxed adoption laws in the 70s and 80s that gave adoptees easier access to their birth parents and siblings, experienced the phenomenon herself with her son Mitch.

I want to respond only because Hawkeye doesn't get nearly enough love. Captain Pierce groupie and not ashamed!! And to include iwlar- he could be an ass, but he owned it. He knew when he was being a jerk. When it counted, he either claimed responsibility, or made reparations. For his time, he was usually ahead of the…

I'm sorry if I am missing the point... where is the story? One employee makes a mistake, and doesn't print a picture, which the store promptly claims was a misunderstanding of policy. This just screams of "IT'S MY DAMN WEDDING DAY, YOU BETTER NOTICE ME ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!" since I'm sure Wal-Mart must have been…

Why are more people not questioning the existence of the Zebra?

I nominate this as 2015's next entry into Webster's Dictionary.

"As for how I feel about my butt, my butt is a place where I poop."

This needs many more stars.

Miss you, Donna Noble.

Late to the conversation, but I went through a HUGE Irving phase in high school. It was my follow up after devouring Vonnegut. I have no regrets.

Another way that Oprah is worse than Amanda Palmer: she is responsible for the rise of Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. I will never forgive her for that.

May I use the phrase "takes bong hit of kitten cuteness" in any and all conversations I don't like/need to destress?

Thank you for your excellently articulated reply (seriously. No sarcasm). I do get the over-sexualization of breasts (I don't like it, as it has a side effect of turning breast-feeding into a public decency discussion, which is a whole 'nother can of worms), and what I struggle with is the lines that define…

I do agree, though I haven't actually seen any children wearing them. I think they are kinda odd on anyone.

Sexy and Sassy should clearly not be classified as "iffy". Meaning- you are so right, there is no question with that example of hell no, not appropriate. Bikini tops are a great example though, of the weird lines we draw as a society. Personally, I am not a fan, as the string always hurts my neck and are not…

And that is a valid stance for you to have. My question is- why do we associate fishnet stockings with sexiness? Why do we associate pigtails with little girls? I think it's a great idea to explore these concepts, to better understand the lines we draw in "this is okay/not okay".
