I almost wish someone from the police would send this idiot a copy of the real bus rape victim's medical file. He could compare that reality to his stupid photo shoot and maybe then it would sink in how ridiculous his concept is. Also, he sucks as a stylist and photographer.

LOL you can do whatever the hell you want but looking at religions in theory as opposed to how they're actually practiced in the real world is irrelevant and pretty dumb. I'm more interested in how it affects the lives of people - and in particular women - all around the world. Especially the women who can't drive,…

No, not everything. I absolutely believe that all religions are horrible and repressive towards women but Islam is particularly oppressive and patronising toward women. Do you know any other religions that cut off parts of women's genitals so that they don't feel pleasure during sex and therefore won't stray from…

You can't separate people from a religion, and in the case of Islam in many parts of the world you can't separate religion from the government because in those countries, religion and government are one and the same.

Yup, that's my whole point. According to my Aussie friends, surrogacy is pretty much near impossible in Australia, which only leads to couples going overseas and to this kind of situation happening. Bans almost never produce the desired result.

I didn't call my cousin's son "sick", I called him adorable and loving. Maybe "sick" was a poor choice of words when I was describing the child in this case but the fact is trisomy 21 is a genetic disorder that means he will be developmentally challenged and have a lower intelligence than a normal child, won't go to…

Ok, then you're making a point by not following etiquette rules and eating however you want, despite knowing them. And that's your choice and that's fine but you asked "why does it matter?" and as someone for whom it does matter, I was answering that question as best as I could.

Was the daughter even mentioned by name? I think you're maybe being a tad paranoid about this. It's snotty parenting and the mothers an attention whore but other than that I don't see this doing any lasting damage.

Yes I have. Including my cousin's son who is the most adorable and living child I've ever met. However, people choose to abort foetuses with abnormalities all the time for whatever reasons and I refuse to judge them for that. A woman's reason for abhorring are her business and hers alone.

And wasn't she bitching about Michael Bay at some point too? Not that Michael Bay isn't an asshole but I guess when your talents are as limited as Megan Fox's, you should know better than to bite the only hand that'll feed you.

I didn't know! Since you said "I can only express it on here", I thought that meant you hadn't told him. Why does he keep doing it then? Is it just to fuck with you?

There have been a lot of articles about this in the news. The woman was so poor and ignorant, she didn't even know how surrogacy worked, and even asked if she would have to have sex with the father... It's true we don't know what the contract looked like but I'm willing to bet the woman didn't really know much about…

Yes, but when you're talking about a developing country, it will be years before you get stronger regulation, and then there's all the corruption, etc. I'm sure a lot of Australian couples would be willing to pay more but be able to have a surrogate closer to where they live. It doesn't have to be exploitative if it's…

If Australia allowed commercial surrogacy, you can bet your ass it would be far better regulated than what's going on in Thailand, and wouldn't lead to exploitation. That's the point I was trying to make. It's only an industry that preys on poor, ignorant woman if your laws allow for that to happen. I've discussed…

Ugh. This is such a horrible story where everyone loses. Especially that poor baby.

Because when you love food and it's a huge part of your life (in a good way, not in a food addict/unhealthy/morbidly obese way) it's hard to share your life with someone who doesn't share that love. A huge part of my free time is spent cooking or going to restaurants to try out new foods, it would suck balls to date a…

I think it depends on how you were raised. I was taught - nay, indoctrinated - by my mother on good table manners. Everything from not putting your elbows on the table to sitting straight to not smacking your mouth to chewing with your mouth closed to putting your cutlery down in the 10:20 position on your plate (with…

Maybe. But I had good table manners driven into me by my parents and now it just seems like second nature and if I see someone holding a utensil like a shovel it would be like seeing someone walking around with their pants on backwards: just not right. Also, and I honestly don't care if this makes me classist, once…

It's American etiquette. In Europe it's considered a bit, uh, gauche. But even this table manners nazi can tolerate it.

Don't say anything now, wait until you're married or something. I agree with you it's an awful habit. Only children who can't cut meat should have their meals pre-cut for them by an adult. Once they can handle a knife, they should cut each piece as they go along. I don't care if that makes me a table manners nazi,…
