You're a better person than I am, TheDrDonna. Because I think they're all scum-sucking pigs.

The whole campaign was hateful. The people I spoke to who were for it were filled with hate for gay people. You would not believe the things that were said to me by people in favor of that proposition. One woman I knew from back then wouldn’t let her sister-in-law touch or go near her children because she was living…

I guess I’m angry with her because I think she should have been on board from the beginning. I think everyone should have been. I don’t understand how people can hold so much hate in their heart that they would deny people that most basic of human connections - romantic love and marriage.

Well said.

You make a good point. I just find it disgusting that someone who claims to have suffered a lifetime of pain due to the world’s non-acceptance of her true gender would have no sympathy for those who have suffered a lifetime of pain due to the world’s non-acceptance of their true loves. The issues are not the same, but…

But how would she feel if we all accepted her being transgender begrudgingly? Instead of lionizing her, like the hero she isn't.

Especially not when one is a self-absorbed hypocrite, with an utter lack of empathy for anyone else’s issues.

Kinda like the word “woman” is important to her.

I’m of her age, and cheering for it. Age is no excuse to be a bigot. She’s just an entitled, hypocritical person, and always has been. I’m just amazed that anyone ever thought any different of her.

That's mature.

Don’t have to go to Vegas. My husband lives there. It doesn’t happen. Not on Thanksgiving, not on Christmas. Never. Period. It’s against the law. You may have seen children running around the buffet area, but never on the casino floor. You can say it as much as you want. It didn’t happen. Every casino has security and…

Thanks for the encouragement! I commiserate with you for having two! Still, when she goes away to college, I’ll have to restrain myself from moving to whatever town her school is in. FWIW, when she was a baby, my precious one could sleep through an atom bomb blast. We’d take her to crowded restaurants all the time,…

Hope you’re not talking to me. Because my blessing is 16 years old now, and frankly, I wish she’d make some noise once in awhile. Sullen teenagers are the worst! FWIW, when she was a baby, I was way too tired to ever consider taking her to a midnight showing of anything. The only thing she would have seen at midnight…

Fair enough. Many years ago, my husband and I were at an R-rated movie, and there was this guy who had brought two 7- or 8-year-old boys with him. The movie was pretty rough - blow jobs implied and discussed and such. Worse, the kid who was sitting next to me kept kicking me. Hard. Not my chair. Me. My leg. The father…

I find that hard to believe. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to be on a casino floor in Vegas, and they are super-strict about it. When my daughter was 3, we were visiting Vegas and had to walk through the casino floor to get to the buffet. Attracted by the lights, my daughter stopped briefly to look at…

Because it's really hard to find a baby-sitter to come to your house at midnight.

That's really arbitrary and meaningless. My baby was a bad sleeper, and if I tried to put her down at 7:00, I would have been treated to 2 1/2 hours of screaming. She preferred to go to sleep at 9:00 or 9:30. She's 16 now, and seems no worse for the wear, so I guess that was OK.

Because cows are exactly like people.

In order to fulfill their freakish need to eat. Sick!

ISIS may be the most evil group on Earth, but the Yazidis aren’t innocent either. They have a three caste system, and marrying outside of your caste is punishable by death. There’s a 2007 viral video of a 17-year-old Yazidi girl being stoned to death by her village because she fell in love with a Muslim boy. It was so…
