While you're at it, give them healthcare and benefits so that I don't have to worry that the food they prepared for me is contaminated with something because they can't afford to go to the doctor or take off work to get better.

I think the problem with that premise is that you've set it up as a zero-sum game. That if wages are increased, employment must decrease. The truth is, the McDonalds and WalMarts of the world CAN afford to pay their employees much more without laying anyone off, and the fact that they don't ends up costing the…

The one on eggs may apply to conventional grocery store factory eggs whose shells have been weakened by chemical treatments, making them more susceptible to salmonella and adding those chemicals to your diet (egg shells are permeable). If you get your eggs from a farm where they are not treated in any way after being…

I think you are misunderstanding me (and others on this thread) on purpose, but I think this is important, so I will continue to try to clarify:

Um, you stop leading her on.

And how does a person respond to something like this? How does a woman who started reading this website as a teenager, who used to seek refuge here when her ideas about gender and equality were shot down by her friends, peers, and sometimes even family, who for some reason imagined this place as being a center for…

Sorry/not sorry but I like this idea.

Thank you again! I will definitely try those. I know she doesn't get enough calcium...that's for sure. I will talk to her about it after work tonight and see what we she thinks. :)

Thank you SO much for your advice and I will DEFINITELY relay it to my wife. It's almost a spitting image of what she goes through. If you don't mind, I will probably copy and paste your comment and save it for life as long as it helps my wife. :) I never knew Mg was so effective, but definitely will try that with…

My wife has to deal with anxiety attacks ALL the time. :( I feel so bad for her and I would take them from her if I could. I know late at night she gets them more often than during the day. I know if she doesn't eat enough during the day...it'll set it off. If she gets worn down...it'll set it off. The problem she…

Dude, Jennifer Lawrence is great. She's an amazing actress and has a wonderful personality. Lupita should be getting more roles, I absolutely agree - but we don't have to take down one great woman to bring up another.

Forgot about SLUTZ and their free birth control. Oh, and abortions (a.k.a. MURDEEEER).

I think the bigger issue is that they can't be a part of their wives or girlfriends' lives like they would if they weren't incarcerated.

Santa's a boggart, except for happiness! It also explains how he can see you when you're sleeping- he's in your cabinets.

Eh. After the kinds of things I've seen out of my dog's ass, nothing surprises me anymore.

It doesn't change anything but Star Wars fans are apparently really angry about any criticism of their sacred franchise.

Do you ever stop to think why the most "iconic" image of Leia is also the most sexualized? She's a powerful character, but the "iconic" image of her, the "nerd legend" and the one every dresses up as is one where she's chained up as a sex slave.

It shouldn't be an option at all. It's not an empowering image. It's literally an image of a slug alien's sex slave.

I didn't know the X-Wing fighter existed, so yay! But to be fair -other than that one Slave Leia is the only cheap option. Everything else that features her is in the $100 - $400 range.
