I met these two at an anti Prop 8 rally in 2008. We live in the same city and seeing the reaction of several mutual friends on Facebook last night was incredible. Yay for love in Alabama!!!!!!

This same sort of legislation has been introduced in some states in the US. I think it was about 10 years ago in VA that a delegate proposed a bill that would require women to report any "fetal death" to police within 12 hours of it occurring. He withdrew it when numerous advocates pointed out that it would require…
Me too. Except for one guy I know. White guy who thought the black baby murdering campaign was brilliant but Tamir Rice got what he asked for because he was holding something that looked like a real gun.
Thanks for the tip.
My point, thanks.
It's not that I even think he's guilty necessarily. It's that FSU did all they could to not investigate it.
I can't speak for others, but for me it's not because I'm sure he's guilty. How could anyone be sure when there was absolutely no investigation when the accusations were made?
And cue the FSU apologists (of which I, unfortunately, know many). If I hear from my mother one more time that "she told the judge she couldn't remember" or "she stopped cooperating with the police," I'm going to scream.
There are a ton of schools I can identify now as segregation academies based on when they were founded, but my husband's alma mater has yet to be integrated. I don't think a minority student would be treated poorly at all if they enrolled, but then they'd have to walk past Marse Robert and Ol' Jeff if they did because…
My husband and I joke that he never learned (at his segregation academy school that still to this day has portraits of R.E. Lee and Jefferson Davis hanging in the front hall) that the Confederates lost the war until he went to college. That would be in the late nineties.
I was born in Atlanta and GWTW is still a huge thing there. I've been an avid Civil War buff since I was nine and started receiving lots of GWTW themed gifts as a teenager. It wasn't until I was sitting in training to be a rape crisis counselor and the head of the organization said "who can identify the rape scene in…
I'm glad I saw this discussion because I'd been thinking I needed to try Kingdom of Heaven again. I'm not sure if we have the director's cut (DVD purchased at least 7 years ago), but the only time my husband and I watched it was during a thunderstorm when our scaredy cat dog was so freaked out we could barely pay…
Unfortunately, I didn't include it in my thesis! I was ignorant about the whole issue and just figured the conclusions by the historians were likely correct. Then I miscarried 5 years later and the OB who did my D&C suspected molar pregnancy, which led to my research into it. I pulled out some of the sources I'd used…
Yours sounds a little more relevant and important. :)
I did the same. Wrote my senior thesis on Mary!
Ha! Me too. Wrote my senior thesis on her.
Just had to get this in: Mary Tudor was queen of England, not France. Also, there's not conclusive evidence (to the point that something like hysterical pregnancy before technology can be conclusive) that it was a phantom pregnancy. Mary displayed all the symptoms of pregnancy, but, of course, never had a baby.…
