The ideal article should be "simple and obvious?"

You are the lowest common denominator, I guess.

You miss the point entirely, which I guess I should expect because you sound like a 20 year old dude.

My point, which I thought should be fairly obvious, was not "this topic is what everybody should write about," (for fucks sake).

My point is that "Adequate Man" works a lot better when the author takes whatever it is…

So…crank up the "How to wipe your ass right" and "How to live on booze and fast food" articles?

I liked it. I'm the audience.

Dumbest comment ever.

I mean, kudos to you for not being a psycho.

You realize that TONS and TONS of kids grow up without one or both parents, with siblings that abuse them, who have mental or emotional issues, etc etc etc?

Dear "Adequate Man" writers: THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.

Thanks, Ms. Thurm. Great, great piece.

Nope

"Bimmer???"

What the fuck is a Bimmer?

Otherwise, good article.

STOP DIGGING

You are as bad at the interwebz as you claim to be good at bball.

Hit the showers.

Yeah, champ, that's it.

This is weak-sauce all the way around, but in shooting around with Jacque Vaughn I "challenged" him to a dunk-off. He kinda chuckled and said "you first" as he handed me the ball.

TL;DR: Jacque Vaughn mentally dunked on me.

(Also kind of a douchebag)

You seem like a reasonable person with a firm grasp of factual information.

OU beat KU by 2, at home, with three KU starters sitting.

Well done, Sooners. Well. Done.

It doesn't man. Think back to when you thought your dad/mom/grandparent we're the light of your life. And then you find out one day that, fuck around and they'll hit you. They'll physically harm you to make a point.

Maybe it didn't fuck you up. Not everyone is the same.

There is never, ever a good reason to hit a child.…

THINK, man: your child looks to you for all sources of everything - love, food, shelter, self-esteem, etc.

Spanking - hitting of any kind - destroys that. It destroys you, in their eyes.

When you say it "sometimes works, sometimes doesn't," what you're really saying is that it sometimes makes your life easier. That's…

"And I'm a good fucking mother."

I'm having a hard time believing this.

You're seriously an abuser, and you need to seek help.

What you're doing is not only wrong, but you're also teaching your children that it is absolutely acceptable to resort to violence when you don't get your way.

Congrats.

"I have a smart, mouthy four-year-old boy, and I do hit him when he does things like push,…

I don't have any snark for this. Good for these teams, even if it's a smidge self-serving.

I'm as straight as is possible, and the hypocritical, small-minded and just plain hateful opposition to marriage equality sincerely pisses me off.
