I felt like I was AARP eligible when I finished grad school, and I was one of the youngest kids in my class through high school.

8‽ So, these kids will turn 20 their senior year? Yeah, that won't be skeezy at all.

If a deaf roshi faps in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yeah, well, when the USN says, "Gays are A-OK!" perhaps God is speaking for himself.

Who else thinks the pope got advanced notice on this and figured, "Shit, if the US military is making me look like an ignorant backwards tool it's time to hang up the Fanon, Camauro, and Tiara."

Hmm, my "The Lizzie Bennet Diaries" addition may be getting out of hand. I saw the picture and thought, "Wow, her hair looks fantastic, like one of the LBD sisters!"

Libertarian ubermensches will not be controlled by your so called sense of fashion!

JP-2 packed the College of Cardinals with conservative cardinals, so unless a more liberal member of the collage has some serious blackmail material it'll definitely be conservative.

Has Savage lightened up on monogamy? I've read a few interviews months back where he was pretty universally critical of it.

I'm a fan of the concept that there are two competing but valid evolutionary strategies at play in human society - monogamy and polyamory - and each of us tend more towards one or the other. It would be best if we could all determine for ourselves which we tend towards, and find like minded mates.

Tragically, I think my Grandmother is going the other way. I remember being very feminist for her generation when I was a kid, but after 6 years of watching Fox news she's become the most conservative person in my family.

Well Shadrack, I'd say aborted babies go the same place half of all fertilized eggs that never draw a breath because they fail to implant or miscarry go - nowhere because they aren't babies.

Fair enough. I cut my teeth on the good stuff, so when I went away from collage I didn't become a lush because I don't like the cheap stuff. Though if I had to drink the cheap stuff Old Milwaukee would be at the top of the list.

I was using context to describe privilege, outcomes, etc.

We do? I haven't spent a great deal of time in Milwaukee proper, but in my experience we (Wisconsinites) seriously export Old Milwaukee and drink the good stuff.

That sounds fun! Post a picture.

I agree that context is important, but it pointing out the difference in context doesn't explain how the context changes the rightness or wrongness of the objectification. Fundamentally I haven't seen an explanation better than, "It's not wrong when we do it, the context is different when we do it, and if the context…
