Pre-Sears Lands End was indestructible. I don’t even know anymore where you buy mid-price boring classics that will last forever. I would shop there if I knew.

Going by your grammar and your attitude, I’m going to assume the reason your friends’ kids had problems has less to do with alcohol and more to do with you all living in some kind of highly inbred hill people religious cult.

Oh indeed. Don’t even get me started on the people who so very zealously advocate for reproductive choice and bodily autonomy - until it’s a less-than-wealthy woman choosing to have a child. Then suddenly it’s all, “well, it’s really more of a reproductive privilege than a reproductive right....”

Thank you for saying this, because the rant I wanted to publish would have stayed in the grays forever. These comments are so fucking oblivious. I’m so sorry that when salaried people at your office leave early to pick up their kids from daycare it’s hard for you. Must be fucking rough. Try stocking shelves on a…

I don’t think she is trying to suggest that maternity leave is like a vacation. It’s just the only way that a woman (or even less likely a man) can get a large chunk of time off from work in the US.

This includes the guards too. Unfortunately.

LOL - I misread the thread. The idea of a bichon getting a groundhog had me filled with wonder and admiration.

Wait - they can handle a groundhog? I always thought bichons were kind of useless, but now I want one. Seriously, though - the miscellaneous terrier + god-knows-what mutt I grew up with had a really, really similar personality to what you describe, and she was the best dog.

Murder is already happening. Doesn’t mean we should make it legal.

“Making it illegal won’t make it go away...” Granted. But making it legal makes a lot more of it. Johns who were scared off by the risk of going to jail or social stigma suddenly have their society’s seal of approval and no fears. Sex tourists start showing up, people say hey why not try it out, and the number of…

In all seriousness, though, we can’t get cops or prosecutors to take rape seriously even when it’s violent stranger rape. Date rape and acquaintance rape? The cops treat the victim like a criminal. Most people who are raped don’t even bother with the criminal justice system - and for damn good reason. You really,…

Hah! More like “omg little Mary is *eleven,* when are her parents going to choose a husband for her?”

EXACTLY. Don’t they want their little girls to have the same opportunities boys do? That’s all any of this is about.

Some people do not give a crap about clothes and want to spend the minimum of time and money and mental effort on them. People do not have to value the things that you value.

Are you insane? You are the one who made the “joke” that wearing brand-x means you are a self-hating antifeminist. Now your rebuttal is that people are mad at you because they love brands and can’t think for themselves? Even though a dozen people have clearly explained to you the problem with your post?

1903? Try 1603. Because by the 1700s, people had really started to come out against laws and customs that excluded “natural children” from participating in society.
But screw it - let’s bring it back. If no father will claim you and make you legitimate, you can belong to a legal class apart for the rest of your life.…

Why do they have to be shuttered? How about we just explain (using the law) that if you want to be a bishop, you can go be a bishop, but if you want to be a doctor, you have to do your fucking job. And if you deny care to a miscarrying woman until she is septic and needs a radical hysterectomy, you will get fined so…

Okay, so the argument is that the Catholic hospital is the only hospital in lots of cities and regions, and if the government or insurance won’t pay them money for medical care, the Catholic hospital just will make the patient pay instead. It’s like they are the crazy guy threatening to shoot the hostage if we make…

“Will we begin forcing women to carry non-viable pregnancies to term?”

“undue their damage”? - For crying out loud, Gawker
