In FLDS communities they cast out boys and extract loyalty from young men by promising them wives "someday soon." And they marry young girls, then when the old husband dies, his wives are reassigned to a new husband.

My dog is afraid of the vacuum cleaner.

You know, nothing about what he said gives me a bad vibe. He sounds like he's being really honest and has conflicting desires. He doesn't want to disrespect you, but he does want to have more experiences before he settles down, but he feels guilty about wanting that. He doesn't know how you can date and have sex with…

To get a bushel movement you have to eat a LOT of fiber.

That is the way it is in the original stage show. Weird, I know.

Just in case of a leak, you don't want to be wearing your cutest pair.

It's not ridiculous to work for healthier food choices for everyone, not just fat people. It's not a bad thing to encourage and empower everyone to move, not just fat people. Make it about health for everyone and not about fat people and it is a whole different ball game. And it has a better effect on health than…

I always think mine isn't that bad too, but there is a personality type and a pattern of behavior that a lot of these guys have in common. You're the only other person I've heard from who got out because you recognized the warning signs. I used to say I started seeing myself on Oprah. I think we were both lucky to…

Oh, it's been a lot of years since then. I forgot to add the encouraging bit, which was that it was mostly just breaking the habit of being with someone that was difficult, and it really wasn't hard. The threat came out of the blue near the end. The phone thing had been like a month before. I really couldn't believe…

I broke up with a guy who had the warning signs too. Always criticizing me and then claiming it was just a joke, tried to separate me from friends and family, tried to police my wardrobe, got pissed one time when I was chatting with a phone surveyer about arts on television and grabbed the phone from me and threw it…

Yep, they say it's class warfare to mention inequality in words, while preparing for actual class warfare inside their fortresses.

Really? REALLY? Didn't your mother teach you how to act? Wipe, flush, and wash your hands after you poop. Nobody here wants to see that.

Oh My God! It's still going on?

Or when I fly with a family member. I fit in the seat, but the corner of the bottom of the armrest is sharp and hurts my hip. I don't spill into the next seat if it's up, I just don't get jabbed the whole flight.

Me too. 30 percent chance of rain? Nope, 50/50. It will or it won't. What other choices are there! This meteorologist gets the odds right every time!

She doesn't need to be deified for it to be a crime that she was murdered. There are no perfect victims. All of us deserve protection under the law.

Mmm! Commenting so I can find this later! (Why can't I select text to copy on my phone!)

Yep. And then he describes those attitudes as "not racist." They aren't racist, see, it's just that interracial families make them vomit, that's all. Seriously?

Ah HA! Thank you! Now at least the diatribe makes some kind of sense. Diamond attributes inequality to something different than what a Marxist would, so he must be WRONG on all counts. Whatevs. I enjoyed Guns, Germs and Steel very much. I understood Diamond to be saying that chance, rather than effort or ability,…

Maybe he sees greed as a given characteristic of all human societies.
