Hear hear! I also didn't believe I should have to throw away my hopes and dreams because of my partner's mistake. My partner and I stayed together and we are very happy that we did. While I still think about what happened everyday (it's in the back of my mind all the time) it no longer hurts. I think the expectation…

hjjj

Hats off to you! I also stayed with my wayward spouse and I don't regret it. The way I see it is that I did nothing wrong. So if he's willing to take a long hard look at himself and get his shit together and treat me the way he should, then I'm capable of forgiveness. I'm also working on my PhD and getting him to…

Ok, like most people I have a very long story to tell. Here's the highlights:

Right, and you need people on both sides observing so that we don't create other inequalities in the process. But most people are really not very good observers and but it's the job most people try to take because you can claim to be doing a lot while doing nothing at all.

Isn't doing what you can all that you can do? It seems to me that you're an ally if you advance the cause for equality and reparations and not an ally if you don't. Some people might never accept your presence, some people might believe that you cannot help no matter what you do. But you don't need to win everyone…

The fear of becoming a "good white person" is not an excuse not to share this article. Sometimes you are cannot be anything but a "good white person" because there is nothing else you can do in that role and you have to live with the discomfort of people questioning your intentions and your ethics and your presence.…

I usually say something cheesy like, hopefully the worst is already behind you and things will get better from here on out. Which I hope allows people to share as little or as much as they feel comfortable with. If it's a close friend I usually just express support, what can I do, etc

there is a better answer.

That's a cute graphic, but yes, I never say that sentence (or any of those on that sheet) because I have really never seen it apply in any substantial way until you posted.

But Mexico is not the North end of South America, it's the South end of North America. Also, many illegal immigrants arrive legally, however, they fall through the cracks of the bureaucratic system: they miss hearings to review their cases because they are working, they moved and the courts don't have their current…

Actually, there appears to be a very early shift towards viewing abortion and Fetucide as more serious a crime Christianity than in Judaism. The Greek Septuagint (which is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible which is the translation used by Christians both in the 1st century CE and today) interpreted the fine…

Christianity and Judaism base their ethical frameworks on much more than the Bible. As you probably know, the Talmud isn't in the Bible. It's a commentary on another set of texts called the Mishnah. Religious teachings in Christianity similarly come from sources other than the Bible, including the writings of early…

I went on a massive search to find this old video, but it is still awesome. THIS is twerking, it's obviously just more than shaking your butt or making it jiggle.

As an American or any other nationality, you can go to a public or private clinic/hospital/medical treatment centre and you will pay based on the services and procedures rendered. It's comparable to what you would pay in the US, I think. I think there is some issue with regulating those charges and so it's worth…

Discrimination applies when rules that are designed for everyone prevent or inhibit an individual's rights (there are many that could apply, religion is just one right - freedom of conscience is another - like if you were a vegan and refused to cook live lobsters). The duty on the employer is to provide an…

Couldn't all of this have been avoided by requiring health insurance companies, all of them, to cover contraception regardless of the plan. This would take away from the argument that the employer is directly purchasing contraceptive coverage.

Maybe he said it once during an argument and it stuck in her mind. Maybe she thought it was too horrible an idea and tried to convince herself he would never really do it. There are many possibilities, it doesn't mean that she was complicit.

The way I see it is that the university doesn't want to keep any staff around who either knew about the rape and covered it up, or supported or defended the coach. Starting fresh means dismantling the program, or firing people for reasons that violate their union agreements. this is the easiest solution to avoid…

Sounds exhausting. My kids get unsupervised time and they're only 1 and 2. I don't mean that I let them roam the neighbourhood, but I leave the room and cook in the kitchen while they play elsewhere. mostly, my oldest draws on herself and my youngest complains he can't find me. I do know parents who are on them 24/7…
