There, too, apparently.

"Intelligent design," my ass.

In the supermarkets here in Australia you get a lot of these pre-made salads and diced vegetables in packets ready for stir fries.

I'm wondering why none of these comments discuss open adoption and the birth parents right to specifically choose who parents their child. Back in 2010 we decided to adopt and I researched/interviewed three different adoption agencies in my area. All three agencies only did open adoptions for babies born in the U.S.…

FYI - this animal adoption thing is off-topic, but so are black dogs in the southern states. I don't understand why.

I'm a birth mom, and I'd like to take a moment to explain some of the fees. Basically, the adoption agency pays for NOTHING for the pregnant mother if she is a WOC, or if the fetus will potentially be a brown person. There is a list of questions the agencies ask when you first call for help: no drug use—check, solid…

OMFG I can't believe this discussion thread!

You just compared human orphans to dogs and cats, as if the two issues are comparable. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.

Kathryn Joyce's book the Child Catchers touches on the problematic aspects of transracial adoption but it's largely about international adoption and how clusterfucky it is along with the Evangelical's stepping in and making things even worse. Here's her piece in Mother Jones, absolutely worth the read.

This was my impression when I considered adoption as a single middle aged woman a few years ago. I don't question the motives of people wanting to adopt, but the feeling I was left with after meeting with an international adoption agency was an element of buying children, with some races and nationalities being more…

This is why I often find myself unsympathetic to people who argue that black women who are pregnant should just do adoption. I knew a woman who was pregnant and black. She knew adoption wasn't a great choice for her because she was aware that if she placed her child, the chances of them getting adopted were not that…

Ha! Forget all that, cause I'm a Bitcoin thousandaire!

Just for the purposes of clarification ( and because I love me some Paula Deen) it should be noted that Jezebel credits Radar Online with the article about Paula Deen admitting to being a huge flaming racist at a deposition, which is fine. except Radar Online got the story from the National Enquirer, which claims to…

Putting aside the stupidity of being dominant in bed = not respecting women. You only have to respect a woman after you marry her? I don't know the guy, and that's probably not what he meant, but it's a disturbing train of thought the way he said it.

Love this video.
They are J-Setting by the way (not cheerleading) but still expressing school spirit and pride in themselves which is amazing!

Most of them, yes. Exceptions listed at Wikipedia: Menopause: In other animals.

There is a learning curve with Android that just doesn't exist with iOS. Keep in mind before you think I'm flaming one OS over another I'm not. I own all three devices (Android / Win / OS(both i and X)).

full file system access out of the box, the ability to install any application from anywhere, open hard ware, different launchers, emulators, built on linux

I have never in my life seen as many "Ugly Americans" as I did on the plane from the US to Haiti.

Learning to code and being a developer or two VERY DIFFERENT things. What you have done is gain a worthwhile understanding of programming. I applaud you for taking the time to do that. But having been a developer for over 20 years now, I have seen programmers who can hammer out code and developers who can provide…
