Hello, fellow Bajan! I grew up around the coast (near Oistins) myself, used to go to the beach pretty much every weekend, took swimming classes for 5 years at the convent and still didn't learn to swim properly until I decided to take an adult swim class in my early 20s. And I made that choice because I totally agree…

That's definitely what I heard growing up. Especially since I was from St. George. But all my friends who grew up around the coasts knew how to swim and I took swimming class in 3rd Form at CCFS cause it was mandatory, which I think is awesome. We should be encouraging kids that live on an island to be able to swim…

What is the value of this story? All it does is tell people where to look to find out something that is, as you wrote, dangerous and irresponsible information to release.

We don't want to have it both ways. We don't want men paying for our dates; we want financial independence. We don't want sole custody; we want a world where men and women are considered equally responsible for parenting. We don't want female on male rape to be treated less seriously than male on female rape; we want…

Speak for yourself, bro. I'm a man and have never had the "desire" to rape a woman. Because I don't try to justify bad or illegal behavior on nature.

I strongly disagree with your sentiment. Nobody is "redistributing" anything. Men have for the past five decades told women that if they want to be viewed as equal, they need to do it on their own merit. That same standard men constructed should be applied to them as well. If men cannot hold on to their resources or…

The Canadian press can be so awful at times, in 2014 most of brutalization is aimed at aboriginal women and you can get away with it. Most Canadians do not care how over 1,200+ aboriginal women have been murder or have gone missing, people who spoke out about what happened in Montreal need to speak out about what…

But let's use every excuse we can to try to paint this and Elliot Rodger's attacks as anything but a world-wide, history-wide hatred for women. It's fucking sad all right! 25 years later and the exact same shit is still happening and people are still making excuses.

The remarkable thing, to me, about this is the continuing dystopian fantasy about "women's privileges" maintained by these nutcases and far too many who don't pull out the guns, but complain privately. If you quiz them about what these "privileges" are, they'll tell you:

- women expect and get free everything
- women…

This man became the leader of the free world because he wanted to "prove" to his family he wasn't a silver spooned ne'er-do-well. He put countless men and women in physical harms way, set back relations with other countries by decades, tanked the economy in this country and others, destroyed the housing market,…

True, but pissing off Mariah Carey doesn't seem like a great idea, either. The vultures are circling because they think she's pathetic and washed up. It's a trap.

"Jesus H. Macy this dude was the leader of our country for eight years and there are kindergarteners with a better understanding of the reality of law enforcement/race/words in this country."

Before everyone starts saying, "Gee, he seems like a nice guy. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all!" Let me remind you of who he really is with a fun little Top 20 list (that doesn't even include leading us into a gutting recession/depression:

Somebody should make a butt selfie game. "Your butt just got passed up for a promotion." "Your butt is wistfully remembering a vacation." If they invented that game, I would constantly beg everyone to play it with me and they would stop returning my calls. So maybe it's for the best that it doesn't exist.

The US is the only Western nation without these following rights:
- paid maternity leave
- paid sick leave
- paid vacations

That's capitalism for you. Meanwhile here in "socialist" Germany, citizens have the right to:
- 18 weeks of paid maternity leave
- one year paid parental leave after birth (for both parents each)
- 200…

HR dude watches a lot of porn on his tablet during bathroom breaks.

Those managers are enemabags. So is anyone who gets snotty about pregnant women trying to exist while being pregnant.

It's a public institution with a social function, but as lived experience, it's very personal. It's madness to think that the decisions within or about a relationship as intimate as marriage should require some kind of public quorum.

Divorce was the literal best thing my parents ever did for my siblings and I. Just like abortion, I think divorce is a decision that is really thought about and honestly, every time the writing has been on the wall, I have never been surprised, yet the shit I hear people say like you mentioned above is astonishing.
