but you're the one that said "vaccinations and home birth have nothing to do with each other", but now your argument is about money? make up your mind.

not really, no. i take it you're an 'adel dazeem' fan? ;)

i beg to differ.

She has duel citizenship

oh, it's still the woman's choice. look, i may think home births are irresponsible and potentially dangerous in the sense that women and babies could die or be hurt by medical complications that in all likelihood wouldn't be as bad if they had been in a hospital. but i am by no means saying women shouldn't be allowed…

i don't think lupita's mixed since both her parents are kenyan, they just happened to be in mexico at the time she was born.

yes i do. and as a study pointed out about a week ago (and featured here on jez), when it comes to giving birth in the US, it's still more dangerous to do it at home than in a hospital.

look, i understand those issues. and hospitals should try to be more accomodating to women. there are lots of places where birthing centres are attached to hospitals, doulas and midwives are allowed to work in hospitals, where a woman's refusal to take drugs or get an episiotomy is respected (that was the case with my…

i have nothing against midwives and doulas and have friends who have used them - in hospitals or birthing centres attached to hospitals. but i'm sorry, i think it's irresponsible to give birth at home because even if in all likelihood everything will turn out all right, i wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing…

see my reply to girlwithcheetostainedwings

oh, i don't know, thousands of years of women and babies dying from birth complications, until finally medicine progresses enough so that it isn't an issue and women and babies now survive situations that would have killed them less than a century ago. and then these backwards idiots want to go back to that and risk…

i actually agree with most of your post. and like i said, i sympathise. but at the same time, it's not like she doesn't know she's in the US and she doesn't know what the legal system is like and she doesn't know that she risks prison if she misses a court date. and yes, as exhausted and sleep deprived as she may be -…

there. fixed it for you.

i didn't know the oscars was a kids' movies awards ceremony. also, yeah, sorry, kids have shitty taste in music. especially since disney has been subjecting them to shit songs since at least the late 80s. there used to be cool songs in disney cartoons but they've turned to crap pretty much since the little mermaid.

i'm not a big broadway fan. i'm sure she's a great singer and all but it doesn't change the fact that 'let it go' is a shitty song and that her performance was totally cheeseball.

she's got the same annoying face, yeah. sorry. look, i'm sure she's great on broadway but that frozen song is a giant piece of shit and her singing at the oscars was totally melodramatic and over the top and yeah, i hated it.

i sympathise with the baby. but not so much with the irresponsible mother - she's the one to blame for her baby's 'predicament'. sure, it would be great if the US had a prison system like scandinavia's but it's not like she wasn't aware that this is the US, not sweden, and she should have taken steps to avoid getting…

no, the baby doesn't deserve to be punished but that's not the prison's fault, it's the mother's fault for getting her ass tossed in jail. yes, i realise it stems from a traffic violation, that she's probably not a flight risk and that she probably didn't even deserve to be thrown in prison for what she did. that…

it was almost a tie but yeah this piece of shit was slightly worse than the U2 crapfest. the only song in that category that even deserved a nomination was karen o's.

i hate listening to her too. she over-emotes and she's just insufferable.
