You know what's bullshit? She doesn't have any stretchmarks on her tits and I do.

Who did they entrust to do the photoshopping? Is there some super-enlightened Orthodox guy working for the newspaper who can handle looking at female politicians without being overcome with lust?

they should have just MS paint scribbled over her and then put an arrow and wrote NOT A GIRL

I don't know how this is being so misread. I am NOT recommending that people drink and smoke during their pregnancy!!!! I responded to someone who wrote, "It could also severely affect the health of the child if the unknowing woman drinks and smokes." While there is a chance that this woman drank and smoked during her…

Yes, I have read them and replied to many downthread.

I went to school with identical triplets, who also happened to be the "hot guys". Even so, there still managed to be the smart one, the sweet one, and the jerk.

Hey, at least it's not as bad as people dating someone who looks EXACTLY like them. Sample images are below.

OTHER FUN THINGS PEOPLE DIDN'T DO IN THE PAST:

Your compassion is an oasis in a desert of judgement. Some of these comments are pretty messed up. It is a terrifying experience. I was rushed to the ER in surprise labor in the middle of the night at 16. The whole thing was awful. I was treated like a liar and a moron by most of the staff. I could barely keep social…

You would've been me! I've always been the opposite of a hypochondriac, assuring myself that whatever is going on will be fine and pass on its own. I was also 16 and didn't experience anything I recognized as pregnancy symptoms. My periods had always been weird, and I'd screwed them up even more with starvation and…

I have to agree with you there, since what we are arguing is knowable facts. My issue right now is that you keep saying things like "[a]n even higher percentage of children were born to women who drank during their pregnancy" without backing yourself up in any way. In fact, originally you said "pretty much every…

Maybe women who thought it was a sin weren't in the majority, I can't find any statistics on that, but those who abstained definitely were and always have been in the majority (at least since we apparently started keeping track), especially women. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762370.h….

Everyone did not used to drink and smoke, you know that, right? Maybe they didn't warn against it for pregnancy, but there were LARGE swaths of the population who viewed those things as sinful and decadent and abstained.

Either way, I'll be avoiding pigs in a blanket and Chex Mix for the foreseeable future.

Here's the problem we're running into: there is one kid, my fiancee's goddaughter, who absolutely positively has to be at the wedding, and another two (a cousin from each of us) who we really want there. We can't really have them but tell other people no kids allowed, which is frustrating as hell.

How much ya wanna bet that "Oblivious Mama" was also the code name the Secret Service assigned to her?

A deeply-ingrained sense of full entitlement. Lost of money.

Remember when the Romneys named an adopted African American boy "Black" (in Gaelic)? That was awesome.

Still feels weird to name a kid with trisomy 21 "Trig."
