Ermm...but a gymanst is training because it is their career, right? I mean, it would be the same as an invesment banker spending all their time looking at how the stock market is performing to the exclusion of everything else. Because that person wants to do well at their job.

Whenever I hear celebs talking about their crazy-assed diets and exercise routines, I just want to scream because it gives people the wrong ideas about health and fitness. I'm not saying that you're doing it, but so often on this site I see people immediately start talking about how they don't have the time and don't…

It's not paranoia to be in what one believes to be is a monogamous relationship and get a yearly check for STIs when doing a well-woman exam, actually. Many states have either an "opt-in" or "opt-out" for HIV testing for pregnant women (many of whom are in monogamous relationships) specifically for that reason.

Not sure what you don't understand about my saying that I agree that his actions were reprehensible and that I have no problem with him being prosecuted for those actions. I stated it explicitly, yet you seem to have a tough time understand what that means. Okay, here goes: That means that he bears the blame in this…

You're way off the mark there.

On the flip side, if people are scared of getting HIV, they should probably take steps to make sure that they don't contract it. It should probably be just about as simple for HIV- people to give up sex as an HIV+ person.

I am not disagreeing with the idea that people "should" disclose. I am just saying that it isn't a good idea to believe that people will disclose.

You have absolutely no idea of my experiences in life, so maybe you should think about that before you make assumptions about what I have and have not been exposed to.

I wonder if they asked him when he had has last test and if he'd had unprotected sex since his last test. Basically, you have no way of knowing if a person is telling the truth about their HIV status. It is up to the individual to safeguard their own sexual health and to exercise caution when having sex.

Sex has risks. Having sex is taking a risk with your health because you can never really know what the other person is doing.

I worked as an HIV counselor for a number of years and both men and women who knew that they were HIV+ would have unprotected sex without telling their partners. They all had the same basic reason: they were afraid of what would happen if they told people and sometimes people would question why the wanted to use…

And photoshop. Don't forget the photoshop.

What actions "clearly" mark him as a misogynist?

Yeah, I never had an interest in getting married either. I was living with my now husband and things were fine. Then he got a job in a different country and asked me to go with him. I couldn't work in that country if I didn't have a permit. As an American moving to Europe it was going to be sort of difficult for…

No, not "a mechanic" as a general concept. Specifically Princess Elizabeth as a mechanic? Yes, absolutely.

I vote that it had little actual practical importance and was a job that she could have which made her feel useful and kept out her out of the way of people doing real work.

1. You brought up teachers committing crimes outside of the classroom.

Yes, but I was asking whether you would be outraged if the person was only reprimanded and not suspended or fired.

To flip it: do you think that a teacher who smokes weed should be fired if they are pulled over and the cops see it in their car?

I clearly agreed that it was threatening. I didn't say that she consented to her having a dick in her face. I clearly stated that what he did was not in any way acceptable. I simply said that someone being threatened by an action does not mean that the action was intended to be threatening.
