Office Olympics is one of my favorite tv episodes of any show ever.

For what it's worth, many people believe in God AND take their children to doctors.

Are you kidding me? I don't even know where to start with you. First of all, she wrote an obituary, which needed to be written in the present. Also, if you think all of this crap doesn't affect someone's present then you certainly have not had to deal with any of this, or, you're in complete denial.

And you know what? Fuck anyone who tells you that you should feel differently.

My grandfather sexually abused all of my aunts and my mother their entire childhood. My grandmother knew and only kicked him out for 6 months before letting him back. I remember at his funeral his sisters (from Mexico, that obviously had no idea what had been going on) wailing dramatically but among the other women in…

I want to time travel and hug the children you were, and I want to regular travel and shake the hand of the adult you have become.

I think she deserves the last word.

Wow. You are seriously an asshole. "Psychotic foster children"? All of this because of Beyonce? Hope you're proud of yourself.

That's an extremely mature and thoughtful response to criticism, a rare thing on the Internet!

I didn't consider several parts of this argument. Thanks, everyone, for enlightening me. Sorry if I couldn't respond directly to you, or if I said something that was insensitive. I really do apologize.

As someone who experienced infertility and underwent treatments to help me conceive, I did not realize I was shirking my responsibility to adopt. I guess all the people who are fortunate to have babies the easy way can keep on doing that while people who suffer from infertility can be shamed into adopting whether or…

I may write a post about this sometime for Groupthink, but I'd need the time first to really reflect...as a half-thought out post wouldn't cut it and could be triggering for some people.

Babies without special needs that are born ready to be adopted are generally adopted right away- there is no crisis in the US with this, and when you adopt a healthy infant from another country, you run the risk of contributing to some sketchy processes (baby selling/stealing, taking a kid out of their culture, etc).…

It's not just about a baby that looks like you. It's usually not the case that you're handed over a perfectly healthy baby whose mother was responsible during her pregnancy. Unfortunately, a lot of the children in the foster care system have been extremely damaged by their unfair start in life. I used to work with…

This post is a long contradiction. "I don't judge, and I'm not trying to shame anyone, but people who choose IVF over adoption are ignoring and thus indirectly contributing to the crisis of orphans and foster children who will never be adopted." Just say it straight.

Maybe stop worrying about how people choose become parents and start worrying about how smug you sound talking about something with which you seem to have zero actual experience.

I bet if someone bothered to ask the male volunteers they would also say they enjoy meeting new women from around the world as well.

Isn't Sochi a smallish city? Why wouldn't young women be excited to broaden their dating pool with interesting new people from different places they suddenly have the opportunity to meet?

Good for you for making an account just to insult someone for taking care of foster children. I bet it feels good.

Dude, there is some serious Beyonce stanning going on around here. Like I said, less annoying than the Great Gaga Worship of 2009 (especially cause this time, people aren't grasping at straws as much...), but still.
