I like this, and I’m Roman Catholic :D

Exactly! I hate the presumption - how do you know better than me what’s best for me?! Can’t you see how patronizing that makes you? Even if I truly don’t know what’s bet for me or do sth that will eventually come back to bite me in the ass, what makes you think *you* know what’s in my best interest?

How much money someone has is a very good litmus test for how many kids it’s wise for them to have, though. We do it all the time. The woman who gets her tubes tied because she can’t afford another kid is called responsible. Why would it be called bullshit in this instance?

The solution is not to stop checking poor families; it’s just to check middle- and upper- class families, too.

Honestly, I never use a mop. I just get on my knees with a pile of rags and a bucket of warm soapy water. I find it easier, but then again, I’m youngish.

That’s just it. Everyone can learn to clean very very easily. Very few people can study differential calculus, let alone get a PhD. You don’t have to be a clean freak, either. I get it, I’m messy, too, but I’d be really disappointed in myself if a mess just totally incapacitated me. Try saying to yourself sth like…

Nope, sorry, that’s a myth. Pee is definitely not sterile.

Too bad you didn’t post this 3 years ago when my firstborn gave my carpal tunnel syndrome :D

“Columbus, a Genoese explorer, was sailing under the Spanish flag in hopes of colonizing the “new world.””

That’s funny. Would you do a similar one about “10-not-criminal-at-all-things black people do that make me think “Yep, he’s probably a criminal?” I wonder if it would be equally funny.

OK, I feel for the mothers and the kids, but I can’t help but thinking it would be best if these women did not have kids, at least at this point in time. I’m going to get ripped apart, I know, but kids deserve better.

I’ve never heard of any of these massacres (not American) and I thank you. But it seems to me the problem is in the definition of a public mass shooting - the perpetrators of these crimes definitely weren’t “gunmen who select victims somewhat indiscriminately,” they selected their victims by race; in addition, the…

Em, excuse me? How was Austria responsible for the rise of Hitler? By getting annexed? Bad Austria!

How do you address the men who insist on the rules, then?

You sound like a wonderful partner! I’m afraid my husband wouldn’t be that understanding, even though he’d do his best. He’s not good with feelings.

No he isn’t, Stannis would never ever get divorced for any reason.

... because the people are OK with it. Who are you to tell them they should be ashamed? That makes you an unelected moral-power-in-chief. Go away.

Thank you! I agree. I don’t like double-breasted jackets, but as double-breasted jackets go this one is great and she pulls it off. I know I wouldn’t be able to :)

I think the suit looks OK, but what would I know, I’m Slavic and have had 10 sex partners, so that probably disqualifies me from having an opinion. Or existing, apparently.

But the opposite applies, too, right? When a white shooter in a predominately black church shoots sbd, we don’t start complaining about whites oppressing PoC?
