Need a U.S. spinoff where women can ride public transit without worrying about photographers.

I'd like to add on another suggestion for the United States: Some of you guys out there on Public transportation need to close your legs! Your parts are NOT that large.

Somehow I don't think it's out of line to completely disregard male-fantasy lesbians that exist solely for the purpose of audience titillation when having a serious discussion about equality progress.

I absolutely agree. I think it's important to have more LGBT characters who are treated as people, and not always as punchlines. Not just for us, but for the impressionable generations who come after, who will be looking for characters that they identify with. I don't want their only choices to be characters that you…

Let me just state unequivocally that as a queer person, yes I fucking care about representation of myself and others in my community in video games. It is very important to see depictions of queer people as something beyond one-off aberrations or deviations from the norm (as they are often depicted in video games).…

That's called "being gay", actually. Just because I like people doesn't mean I'm flaunting it everywhere I go. Flaunting your sexuality is called being a stereotype.

If patrica wrote this the commenters would have a stroke

I feel this is appropriate.

Business does NOT self regulate. Anyone who claims that (your boss) is full of shit and likely stands to benefit financially from deregulation. And customers connot vote with their wallet when they have limited options. If that were true, Comcast and Time Warner would be long run out of business, not merging. And look…

There are city ordinances in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagsaff, and Scottsdale which do ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, which this bill would circumvent.

You're conflating a business owner's obligation not to discriminate between serving some patrons over others, with a (nonexistent) obligation to provide goods and services it wouldn't otherwise provide.

You don't get it do you? Sure in an a large economic area where choices abound, your invisible hand bull shit might work. But what about a small town? The private ambulance doesn't have to help you, your pharmacist doesn't have to help you, your auto mechanic tells you to fuck off, etc. this is what libertarians don't…

No shit. These fucking white 'victims' would be filing suit after suit after suit. Fuck them and their bullshit privilege.

How 'bout just extending civil rights to everyone as a price for living in a democratic society, you fucking libertarian dolt? (And no, I don't mean churches having to marry gay people, only public establishments being open to the public.)

I think this is the fault of Big Pharma, pumping toxins into our children's bloodstreams. Clearly these kids need to eat more organic food. Also, they need to get some healing crystals. Healing crystals fix everything.

My scifi inclination is telling me that those anti-vaccer's have allowed the polio virus to incubate and mutate in humans, such that the efficacy of the old vaccine is diminished.

"when they remove gluten from their diet, they're inadvertently taking out a lot of processed foods and are really feeling the benefits of eating healthier foods."

I am waiting for the inevitable cultural backlash. Gluten-free products will become passe. People will gorge themselves on bread, dress as bread for halloween, talk about how delicious wheat flour is and there is just no substitution, make wheat flour ice cream and wheat flour cocktails. Meanwhile, absolutely no…

Standard comment about assholes who don't eat like I think they should, followed by nutritional expertise that I overheard somewhere. Accusation that people who either do or don't eat gluten are morons. Dismissal of all medical problems of any kind in either direction.

This is great and annoying news for those with Celiac and gluten allergies. My husband's uncle now has a fabulous time going shopping because there's so much more available to him now. A friend of mine with a wheat allergy now has to be cautious because so many people claim to have allergies or sensitivities, products…
