are we sure this isn't Kanye West speaking?

That sounds sooo shady. It's cultural imposition, but when cultural imposition has a body count, I have issues. I'll see what I can do, and thank you!

Looks like my old doctor found the perfect place to hide...I mean finish his residency. Nobody would ever do anything but protect him there, or maybe they'd make him write a paper and then let him go back to practicing medicine on other women. Sick. Plain sick.

you can't force somebody into psych therapy against their will unless the judge believes it necessary. this could also mean a threat of it being public record (with suicide attempts, they basically say if you don't say you're checking yourself into this psych ward, we'll make it public record.)

I suddenly want to make pants that have cuckoo birds on them

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it, and I'll really be able to use that line of convincing there. The city I'm gonna be in is liberal, like they have SlutWalk and Vagina Monologues, and there's even a feminist blog site unique to that country's feminist issues and discussion! I'm even going to volunteer at…

I never thought of it that way. So I guess my question then would be how to we convince people to see reason without insulating them from the consequences?

I didn't mean to upset you, nor did I mean to be condescending. I apologize for coming across that way. I strongly agree with you, which is why there should be a boycott of Domino's Pizza. I just live in a town where it's 95% Republican in some way, and I'm moving to a country where abortion is illegal, so I'm trying…

I agree; I'm also losing my patience, but not all pro-lifers are bad people though. Yes, there are several who are downright unreasonable/horrid/etc, but alienating them won't solve anything. If we do, we lose the ability to have them respect us and lose the ability to convince them that we're also good people who…

yeah, it seems like most people are actually reasonable. but for god's sake, can they stop with the pictures of the fetuses please?

Yeah, I'm so using that. There are some pro life people who genuinely believe that they're doing the right thing with the whole pro-life anti-contraception movement. I have very close friends who are pro-life and are wonderful, caring, kind people (they're also reasonable; a lot believe in contraception, many believe…

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you at all; I'm just saying that that's the reason why. Not to mention, it's a matter of pandering to people, not necessarily their own views. Not all politicians are corrupt/incompetent/dangerous, but it does come with the territory (I worked on Capitol Hill), as does a risk for abuse of…

it's a triple threat: you can control women, oppress minorities, and oppress the poor, all while seeming "religious." simple as that.

Eh, Voldemort, schmoldemort. There is an evolutionary reason why we night owls exist; during hunter-gatherer times, night owls worked as sentries and warned people against danger at nighttime.

yeah, except that it isn't just a hindu/muslim/sikh/christian/buddhist/jain problem. this is clearly something that crosses all religions.

I'm so glad somebody understands. Pearl clutching should be a crime punishable by reading Foucault.

Is it too much to ask for people to LEAVE OUR SEXUALITY ALONE AND QUIT MAKING COMMENTARY ON IT? It's bad enough that I had to have this conversation with my mother about how my sexuality isn't her business, but do we have to tell the same thing to journalists, too? WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO WITH OUR BODIES IS OUR BUSINESS.…

In the U.S. the commentary on ethnicity is much more prevalent than in other places, but there are melting pots where nobody cares because everybody mixes so much. In Brazil, nobody knows their ethnicities, and nobody cares. They almost get offended if you ask them because after two generations everybody considers…

For the record, Moral Orel was a HILARIOUS show on Adult Swim before it was cancelled for being too dark. Definitely worth watching.

Can somebody please explain to me what the big deal about Karlie Kloss is? I really want to see it; I just...don't get it.
