Pretty easily, usually. A lot of them are working to change that from the inside. Not to mention that Vatican strictness doesn’t necessarily trickle down to American parishes.... Priests I personally know have been telling women to go ahead and use birth control if they feel they should for ages. One said that to my…

As long as she values chastity in unmarried men equally (and Catholics are taught to, so she most likely does), there’s nothing un-feminist about her decision.

Oh, wow...there are definitely ones in there I didn’t find when I was looking up his past. Thank you for that! I just saved them into a doc for myself.

I can’t believe people are still coming out defending him when there’s actual video out there of him being violently abusive to her. I am losing respect for so many people....

May I have a link to that, please?

I am all for this guy living in misery for as long as he should have been living in a penitentiary if justice had been properly served, but this isn’t okay.

YES. And turmeric kills cancer, and Egyptian mummies prove that cancer is a recent invention, and all that other bullshit. But the absolute worst are the testimonials: “This man cured his own cancer by eating this one food!” No he fucking didn’t! A *surgeon* removed his tumor! Or that solar grilling guy meme that…

Yeah, a couple of other people have mentioned it was a particularly survivable type, and in light of that, his actions disappoint me greatly. :(

Heh. If I didn’t know better, I’d think your sister was a Facebook friend of mine. :P

Agreed. And there have been some tests with cannabis oil that show some promise in developing new treatments to fight cancer cells, but even if it works, it’s a long way off and these memes and blog posts are making people believe that if everyone ate well and smoked pot, cancer wouldn’t exist. :/

That is so upsetting. :(

I’m so sorry. :( I let all my friends’ messed up political posts and whatnot slide by, but I always correct the cancer woo. It’s just too important.

So disappointing. I hate to see people let themselves die believing bullshit.

Seriously? In that case, I’m more disappointed in him than I thought.

Not that I would ever be fruitarian, but if they’re doing it right, they shouldn’t be low on vitamins, fats, or protein. Nuts and seeds are full of protein, avocados are full of fat, and you’d have to be eating very little variety to not get a full range of vitamins (except b12, because we wash our fruits, but…

In fairness, pancreatic cancer kills most of the people it hits, no matter how smart they are about treatment.

It’s a physics lab, which almost certainly means multiple sections, and it specifically says “switched out” which is means he was probably just moved to another time slot that didn’t conflict with the rest of his schedule.

Well, either I’m saying that it happens in 100% of cases with absolutely zero outliers, or I’m using the term “always” in its slightly hyperbolic conversational sense. I’ll let you make the call.

YES. Abusers think they’re the ones being abused, but you can always tell which is which by which one is trying to avoid, and which is trying to force themselves into the other’s spaces.

The theatre couldn’t have foreseen this attack and metal detectors would be an overreaction, but it wouldn’t be difficult to arrange something that would prevent a door from being propped or alert security if it remained open for longer than normal. That would be reasonable, not inconvenient or overly expensive, and…
