You keep saying patents are short, but 14-20 years is not short for the people who can't access these great scientific advances (and die of breast cancer because they don't know they're at such a high risk and thus don't get the mastectomy). Twenty years may seem like nothing in the span of human history, but it's a…

Yes, even when pregnant a woman is still a human being with rights.

It was hardly a matter of "inconvenience". She had her youngest child with her and no one to care for him.

The doctors' side being forcing people to have surgery. Is that just pregnant women, or should the cops be showing up at you door to force you into other surgeries, too?

Cracker von Patriarch has had me in tears for about five minutes.

"drama club presidents/school paper editors-in-chief/tennis team captains like Anne Hathaway would've feigned an overly gracious smile, nauseating hello, annoying, prayer-like hand gestures".

When was the last time a racist "proved it" to you? Being an out-and-out, foaming-at-the-mouth racist is not something society at large tolerates, so most use dog whistles and coded language to get their basic point across. Black people are "full of themselves" (you might be familiar with the word "uppity"), because…

Maybe you can explain why "pewwwwwwww" is an action while verbalizations about the attractiveness of someone else are reactions.

You can control your *actions* all of the freaking time. Maybe you can't keep yourself from becoming aroused, but you absolutely can keep yourself from making crass comments about people every single time. That a person might choose not to is, well, a choice. One that should earn them buckets of societal shame.

You seemed to be denying it with your challenge that a person in pain can't control what they're saying. You can, if you've got the right social conditioning. Men can control being gross and inappropriate if we attach enough stigma to it.

I generally respond to pain (and other stimuli) by swearing. I am also capable of tempering that when I'm at work, or around my grandmother, or in hearing range of small children.

I have never been shocked to the point of indecency at the arrival of someone I find attractive. I will look at them, yes, I may even nudge a friend I feel may share my appreciation, but I have never been shocked into behaving like a lecherous jackass, no.

TARDIS translation circuits.

I can't tell you how many times I've walked up to women (that I know) with babies to coo over the babies only to discover that they were mid-breast feed. You seriously can't see much.

So you're all for breastfeeding in public as long as they're not actually IN public. Gotcha.

hahahaha they included the Sarah Silverman video where she wants to get her Nana a gun permit so she can vote. WTG.

That's rich. Explain again how Obamacare is going to tell everyone to crawl off and die?

Have you never used the American medical system as it exists in the present? Because only such a person could ever make such an asinine statement.

Her kids were born in 1994 & 1997, so it seems pretty likely that she was pregnant with them while she was working on the show.

You are my hero.
