You make me want to go fuck 20 random guys and describe it to you in detail since it upsets you so much.

I'm not torn at all. There's an old saying "Your right to swing your fist ends at your neighbor's face." Your right to your deeply-held religious beliefs is immensely important. You have no right to endanger others by taking actions based on those beliefs.

I'm one of the more religion-tolerant people on Jezebel, from what I've seen, and I even believe in god myself. But as much as I respect spiritual beliefs and think everyone has a right to religious expression, this cannot extend to harming others. If your religious beliefs have a real chance of resulting in someone's…

Yes. Thank you. That's why I had to make an emergency and entirely stupid decision to vax my kid at 8 months (not 12) — we were in the ER for an entirely different (and, as it happened, benign) reason when some @#%!^^$# idiots brought in their measles-ridden, unvaccinated 8-year-old. Unannounced. The bastards. They…

HA, no, it's a fur coat! I chose that image from the boudoir-y Vogue Italia spread because it was the only one that was vertical and didn't have nipples in it.

They believe the murders were random because they occured in different manners.... Da fuq? No, different MOs would indicate two offenders, not that the crimes were committed seperately. The victims were a couple, they were murdered together and found together. That's not random. But in Texas a black man gets murdered…

"The corpses of Britney Cosby and Crystal Jackson, both 24, were identified on Friday morning and police told ABC 13 they believe the murders were random because each woman was killed in a different manner."

I would love to read that. I can make some guesses about where you're going with this, but I'm guessing you've spent more time thinking about it than I have. Which is totes awesome.

Like the vagina 'needing' to be douched. Our body has enough good ways to take care of itself, yeah science!, unless something goes wonky (I recently needed my gallbladder removed unexpectedly). That's what respiration, digestion, your liver, kidneys, etc...are for.

Thank you! That's what I've been thinking all the time I've been reading blogs about this...nice to hear someone else say this.

My absolute favorite thing to do whenever one of my granola-y friends says something about removing toxins is to ask: "Exactly what toxins? Give me some examples."

omg i love you.

I can't speak for Cosma, but the US College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists used to recommend annual exams for all sexually active women. Conditions could up one's frequency to 3 or 4 a year.

That parties like UKIP have gained any kind of credibility is enough to make you weep. They are literally all the bad bits of the other parties combined with no good bits. None. I hoped the BNP crashing and burning meant the end of such pretend politics, but nope. Along come Farage and his bunch of goddamn charlatans.

My corgi, I kid you not, fetches better than the spaniel. She looks at the ball in confusion. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

We grade on a hyperbolic curve.

Could Duvet: The Soakening take place actually in the washing machine, eliminating the need for the slogful transporting from tub/sink to washing machine? I cloth diapered my kid which involved occasionally soaking the things very much as you describe here (Oxyclean and detergent were frequently involved). I would…

Augustine of Hippo... Guh.

Listen folks, it's real easy. You can do whatever you want to do with your body, the stuff on your body and the stuff inside your body. However, your right to practice your personal interpretation of your personal religion stops when you interfere with the well being of another person's body. Everyone on board now?
