"Often"? You can google "living normal life schizophrenia" and come across countless articles and psych studies which show just the opposite of what you claim. The baseless assumptions—propagated in the media in particular—that schizophrenia involves a life of "agony" as you put it are simply untrue.

I don't agree with it, but this is why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_…

Humans in groups can do really atrocious things. It's the whole mob mentality that is hard-wired in our psychology. I'm sure you've heard of the Kitty Genovese case, but here's an example of the passive side of destructive group behavior: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of… "Diffusion of responsibility" seems to…

I won't lie—I'd watch it.

I mean, "millennial" is used as a catch-all anymore such that it's sort of irrelevant. I'm (26) one, but so are 18-year-olds. That's a big pop-culture difference. As far as why someone approaching their 30s would "give a shit" about 80s pop culture, what? People are exposed to and like all kinds of things. My favorite…

Psst, the whole "he wants to ear her" is where the sexual overtones come from!

Yeah, I loooove Meryl but she definitely can't sing. I mean, if you can't convincingly sing an Abba song, there is definitely no hope for you. And homegirl was *weak*.

It will definitely go the way of the Lone Ranger in both sales and critical reviews. That child can neither act nor perform, and I think it's a travesty that her parents are putting her out there when she is only going to grow into an awkward adolescent who will no doubt resent them when she fades into obscurity. It…

Yes, definitely, but in this case it's mostly native English (American) speakers using "irregardless" because they think it sounds fancy. :(

Well, you'll notice that Ritmo never returned to the thread to counter any of the arguments against him/her. That to me is the definition of trolling, and I think Ritmo made their inflammatory post with the express purpose of pissing people off and leaving well enough alone after. This is not the sort of behavior that…

You are an inspiration. This is what I hope to do (maybe not two but at least one during the program), and I hope I have a supervisor as caring and flexible as yours. I won't be in a STEM PhD but a humanities one, but it's nonetheless a stressful proposition!

We are totally in the same boat. I want kids before my PhD program is up (it also starts this fall), but I don't plan on dropping out. However, I will have to determine if my partner and I can reasonably have a child while I'm in the final years of my program. My conundrum is: either have a child during the program so…

Zzzz, this is a ridiculous, trolling reply. Color me surprised!

Whoa there—no one has condemned stay-at-home moms in this particular comment thread. You are reading what you expect to or maybe want to read, but it's really not here among the major conversation threads. Furthermore, Ritmo made a bizarre, off-topic comment which was essentially their excuse to bitch about having…

It's a regularly misused phrase—people hear the "couldn't" I think and somehow get "could" from it, thus perpetuating this irritating and totally nonsensical phrase. Of course, it's so used now that people will tell you "could care less" is accurate, but that's bullshit. It's like misusing "to beg the question" or,…

Ughhh you must be stopped. Too many incredible photos. One can only hope he's still acting, so his...fans...can appreciate him? :)

It's kind of outrageous how super hot he is now.

I mean, "chunky"? Really?

My uncle is a Scott. He's pretty cool. My sister's ex-fiancé was a Scott, too, and I'm happy he got away from her, cos he was a nice dude.
