But, wasn't the whole camera-shoved-in-your-face angle the same one Jennifer Garner and Halle Berry fought for? Seems like Kristin Bell's issue is more with any photos period.

I think there are lot of people who just like picture of kids and babies. I could speculate on why - reminiscence of a simpler time, innocence, nostalgia, etc. But, I think it is akin to buying greeting cards with children on them, or Ann Geddes posters. The tabloids are right up front at a check out stand, making…

I fully agree with your first point. I am terribly uncomfortable and uneasy that the same people on this site who ask folks to think about politicial, cultural and historical context in almost every other comment thread are more than willing to not just agree with these baseless generalizations but to add to them…

I wish there was a way the campaign could show Dad taking on greater responbilities within the home - helping with older children, doing housework, cooking - as a way to support the nusing mother who has no time or energy to do some of teh tasks she may have previously assumed. (I'm not trying to say that housework,…

I think I understand where you are coming from. The baby is the one who needs the milk, so the decision should be made that is best for the baby. I also agree that in an ideal situation, and generally, both parents should be involved jointly in making those types of decisions. However, in the case of…

They could have. But, in physics "escape" in the word used. "Escape velocity" is the techincal term for the amount of velocity an object must have to free itself from another object's gravitational pull. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

To be fair - I think the Denver Post would have used that headline for any movie that beat Gravity as that is the correct phrasing for an object in space that gets out of a gravitational pull. It's unfortunate that can also be taken derogatorily (is that a word?) as well.

:) Among a few others.

Yeah, I had to deal with this with my boyfriend. He comes from a culture where people are less sensitive to bodily functions/areas, so less likely to hide basic hygiene in the bathroom. Nothing too gross but still. He used to get upset with me when he did things in front of me and made a face. he kept saying, "But,…

Ah, gotcha.

I actually had a mind-boggling conversation with a die-hard, staunchly anti-Republican once who claimed to object to legalizing marijuana because it would put a lot of the people who are now making money off illegal marijuana out of business. WHAT????

I hate that i know this. But, it looks like a vaporizor for ear wax (highly processed weed).

It's Ashley Wagner's response to her scores after skating a short program for the team Ice Skating competition in the Sochi Olympics.

yeah, I totally thought it was rape in the books too. He might have demonstrated he wanted to her have pleasure, but it was also clear that he thought it was just her making up her mind to have pleasure that would make it so. He was going to have his way with her regardless, so she should somehow manage to enjoy it.…

Just piping up to say I agree with everything you said.

Yeah, I was okay with his Oscar speech too. He thanked God just like most people do, even if his choice of wording wasn't the best. And, I think I get what he was trying to say about him being his own Hero...like he pictures a better version of himself ten years from now and keeps striving to meet that goal he has…

While I find Chelsea's public persona troublesome, I very much appreciate and like her loyalty to her friends. I loathe the "c" word, and abhor name-calling generally, but being a humanitarian generally does not make a person a saint in ever aspect of her life. Chelsea was sticking up for her friend. She probably…

I agree. I think she is probably a great friend. She seems to always stick up for her friends and be loyal to a fault. She seems like that super fun/crazy friend who gets you to go out and gets you to have a great time when you really do need a pick-me-up, and who can make you laugh when you are down. She is also…

Hm. I don't think Sagat can be anyone but Ted, none of the other references make sense in teh "flashbacks." But, I like where you're going. Have we actually established that the kids are Ted's?

Yeah i glanced at the photo without really paying attention. Then I read her name in the caption, thought, "Megan Mullaly? Where?" Had to search for her like a bad Where's Waldo to find her in that outfit.
