Hm. Interesting theory, and it would explain why my husband will clean things like clothes & dishes, but never puts them away.

Oh, dear. I've been tempted to keep a list, because my husband and I can both get defensive about our chores. But one of our 'bad fighting behaviors' is score-keeping, so we try not to.

I think you are right. There are some things that one partner (man or woman) just doesn't care about, and if the other wants it done, they have to do it themselves. But it goes a long way for the lax partner to contribute every now and then. I think it shows respect.

Yes! My parents were both professionals who worked long hours, and my dad did the outside chores and grilled, my mom did the inside chores and cooked. I think they solved a lot of problems by hiring a weekly cleaning service, though, and once we kids were old enough to stay home by ourselves, we were given chore…

Aw, his tender little ego is going to be so deflated! But he's explained that field people no longer have the ability to set the cable package up. Those ladies are just wasting their assets!

I always thought that, for the first few dates at least, the one who makes the date is the one who pays for the date.

I would maybe change "most" to "some." I think what most women are interested in is an equal relationship, without one party feeling beholden to the other. As some other commenters have pointed out, it's hard to date someone who can't pick up the check every now and then, and I'm sure the person who is relying on…

You are right about that. Plus, some people just don't care that a person is married.

Plus, it looks like it would really pinch when you had it on. Ouch!

Didn't you know? It's those sluts who didn't keep their legs closed that are responsible for those babies. The state is only responsible for ensuring their unwanted births and incarcerating them when they turn 18.

"I'm not at all worried," Mims said. "My hope is that the women that are making these choices will now choose life, that they will realize that life begins at conception."

Nope, you can mouse over to preview the first bit, or in a long stream of comments, clicking on the double arrow gives you a scrolling list of all the comments, with a notation of how many replies they garnered.

I think that the less that is known about the system, the better. Harder to manipulate that way.

I think what you're suggesting in the first paragraph is possible. Just like if you're in a face-to-face conversation and you have a point you want to make, a good way to do it is to respond to one person's comment and then add your own thought to it. That way others have an opportunity to see your comment and…

So y'all can adjust the algorithm?

I know! I really wanted to see people's impressions on the Marijuana Mom's article. Bummer.

Unless number 50 isn't crap, but just never got read because everyone is scared what the last comment will look like. It looks like the best thing for latecomers to do is add to established discussions.

There's an algorithm that Kinja uses. We are responsible for not responding to nastiness. I do like how we have the power to dismiss trollish responses to our own threads, but I think that can lead to just as much cliquishness as they said the star system did. And trolls using burner accounts to boost their own…
