Eh. I like the Pretty Reckless and I’m happy for a woman getting recognition in rock. I have certainly listened to Bella Donna 2838373 times, but Taylor Momsen getting a string of number one’s doesn’t take anything away from Stevie Nicks. More women in rock is a good thing. There is no reason to tear her down.

Can someone explain to me the insane hatred against this girl? i am clearly not as smart as many of the peoples here so please do not use words that are too big. Cause you are all so smart and cool!

Oh my fucking god, seriously? I could get you never having heard of this, because no one in there right mind would want to talk about being involved with shit like this, but you can’t possibly believe something horrible like this was perpetrated upon women and children?! Fuck’s sake, GOOGLE IT. Try “babyscoop era”,…

Isn’t that kind of what happened with Madonna’s adoptions? https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/marie-claire/n…

I’m not so sure , being part of a system to lie to new mothers and steal their babies seems to me something that might involve more than a couple of individuals inside and outside of the hospital, some of whom may have been wrestling with this on their conscience. This has happened in other countries and no matter how…

NO, it’s been pretty fucking common in the US and Europe at the very least. But it happened to poor, unwed mothers, and was most prolific during decades where women who weren’t married were supposed to hide it or disappear during their pregnancies, so no one who wasn’t poor and unwed or a minority gave a shit.

I was only 17 when I had my first child and when they took her for clean up, they “lost” her. My mom had a giant panic attack/hissy fit/screaming match at all the staff on our floor because she was older and had read so many stories about babies who were taken from young moms (that was what she’d said at the time was…

Nope. This happens to white people too. I know because my younger brother was adopted from a family against their wishes and he’s pink as a piglet. My parents didn’t know until he was around 16 and wanted to look for a birth family. Turns out he has four other full siblings (two older and two younger) and for whatever…

I have a feeling that it was some sort of paternalistic policy for the “welfare” of the children. They probably assumed she couldn’t take care of the baby or even that the low birth weight was the mother’s fault. It’s amazing what people will blame on and do to women, just because they can make babies with their…

Yeah...I’m thinking the motivation was not cash but rather the same motivation that motivated the homes for unwed mothers in (especially) Ireland all the way up to the 60’s or the stealing of Native American children to be placed into white families: the supposed well-being of this poor unfortunate child who happened…

It still happens in the US, it just requires the perpetrators to be more subtle and conniving than in the past.

What’s the difference between a drone and the remote control airplane I bought at the Haywood Mall Radio Shack in 1985?

I am having a little trouble with this comparison. Mainly because abortion is a standard part of women’s healthcare and this is not apart of standard healthcare at all that I can see.

biebs is looking coke bloaty: agree or disagree, and discuss.

For example, people hired to raise others’ children who hardly see their own children.

You know what? You are so wrong here.

I hate invoking this, but Americans are so weird about domestic help. It’s one of the many things I like about my Latin-American cultural heritage that we don’t have that baggage*. It’s a job I don’t want to or can’t do myself, so I’m hiring someone else to do it. That doesn’t make me a bad person or mean that the…

So training for professionals is just training and development. Training for people in the service profession is just disgusting and tacky....because these jobs are menial and gross and funny? What am I missing.

I am an engineer. My employer pays for me to go to several training and continuing education classes a year so I can learn how to do my job better. How is this different, other than the fact that the employees in question are domestic workers?
