Yeah - I remember that moment for me, too, which was when some kids at school were telling a joke about dad's limousine parking in mom's garage. I was like, oh! IN!

I do not remember getting the talk. I do, however, remember the day I learned (or it actually clicked?) the penis actually went INSIDE — I was 6, at the bus stop, and completely disgusted.

Was anyone else one of those uber-sensitive kids who ascribed feelings to their toys and stuffed animals? I used to play with all of my toys on a rotation because I was afraid of hurting their feelings. I kind of did that with my clothes too - I would feel guilty if I didn't wear my red shirt for a while because I was…

As a seven year old, I raided the kitchen for my art supplies. I took some herbs, green food coloring, lemon juice, and turmeric powder to create this. My dad was so angry at me for destroying the kitchen and geting half the spice cabinet all over the floor, but he took this, and he framed it because he thought it was…

You can find new "thought pieces" every day asking "is the gay rightS movement over?" Of course, they almost exclusively answer that in the negative, but it's a mark of how strongly the idea has been implanted that gay rights==marriage equality. I don't oppose marriage equality, to be certain-I'd love to be able to…

You never hear stories about parents killing their children for being rapists or killers themselves, but you always hear stories about parents killing their kids because they're trans or gay who have never harmed a soul in their life. Not that parents should kill their kids for any reason, but it's sad how you can be…

*high fives*

Day 1: Meh.
Day 2 : MOTHER OF GOD
Day 3: Winding down already?
Day 4: Surprise, motherfucker!
Day 5, 6, etc: Yes, this is still kind of happening, deal with it.

i can't believe these claims of things that have clearly happened. just can't believe it.

I just lease them from Feed The Children. The rates are reasonable.

Yes! "The state doesn't own your children, parents own their children, and it is an issue of freedom." By his argument, parents should be able to do anything, anything to their children! Abuse, selling them, killing them. The state shouldn't step in for any reason, because kids are property, and property rights are…

My great Aunt Dolly's son had polio. Got it from swimming in a lake. He is still profoundly affected by it, after having to wear braces on his legs and having intensive physical therapy, he still has issues walking. Instead of listening to idiots, fucking talk to people who lived through the epidemics. Read the letter…

i remember getting my polio vaccine too

Parents do not own their children. That's just a really weird and disturbing way of looking at parenthood. It's also not all that backed up by law or logic. I can sell my tv on Craigslist and yet those who have tried to do the same with children have found that the law frowns upon it and will put them in jail for it.…

I was born in the Middle East and am in my early 20s, so I was vaccinated for polio. I REMEMBER getting the 3 doses of the oral vaccine. Like, I must have been 2/3/4. But I still remember the 3 different times I had to get it. So it pisses me right the fuck off that people like to conveniently forget that these…

UP IS DOWN BLACK IS WHITE CATS AND DOGS LIVING TOGETHER I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS WORLD ANYMORE

I would have stuck my fingers in my vagina and painted fuck you with period blood on the wall, but I'm an animal.

Yeah, the biggest argument I've seen against smart guns is basically, "but what if a thug has me and my family held at gunpoint and I manage get the gun from him but I don't have the companion wristwatch so I can't shoot him and so his companions kill my whole family?"

What good is a locked away and unloaded gun if the boogeyman chooses you, the most special of snowflakes, to tussle with on his 1 day of being real?
