well, luckily, there are definitely women out there who don't need all the fanfare, since I'm one, and I have a few friends who aren't into that either. In fact, one of my female friends is so unromantic, she let her husband do most of the wedding planning and she ended up with a not too over the top Lord of the…

I want to star your reply a bout a million times right now. Just because anyone can get their 15 minutes of fame online these days, it doesn't mean everything has to be some big deal that complete strangers online will judge you for.

I'm with you on that one. I don't even want to admit my brothers have had sex with, even though I know they have because they are both parents.

Gee, maybe he was dealt this horrible hand of fate through his actions? It's kind of scary that he's taking zero responsibility for what he's done. I'm really reluctant to diagnose people online, but after reading this article, I'm thinking he has some combination of clinical narcissism and sociopathy. His lack of…

or rainbow vomit.

"good quality bologna." Bwah ha ha ha ha! Bwah ha ha ha! Bwah ha ha ha ha!

It's okay. I can see how it was easy to jump to that conclusion. My snarkiness was towards those who would prefer to remain ignorant, no matter what country they're from. Heck, I get mad at the way history is taught in the U.S. You'd think that nothing happened in any other country than the U.S. After the American…

You're reading way too much into what I wrote. I didn't say all people in England. I would never make such a careless statement as that, as well traveled as I am. I was referring to those who prefer to ignore history or didn't pay attention in school. No offense was intended to all British people. It was at people…

Considering the number of European countries that played a role in capturing and selling slaves to the Americans, you'd think they'd know better. Considering how many of those countries were against slavery while their countries were profiting off the slavery of the people of Africa, they really should know better. …

Also, if you aren't racist, wouldn't it be logical to think about the idea of the costume before putting it on and think, "will this be received well, or is it going far enough that it will offend people?" If the answer is "no it won't, and it probably will offend," then best not to wear it.

Yeah. I mean, just the fact that Lena wrote and published that book, most likely without considering how those passages might affect her sister, bothers me. That in itself indicates that she has boundary issues.

I agree with you, and that's why it's all such a sticky situation. I'm not saying it's okay at all. If anyone wants to read an implication into what i wrote, that's their interpretation. But i'll clarify what i meant by what i said. Because clearly, her sister has problems with Lena's behavior around her.

I think a lot of people just don't know the difference between normal and abnormal sexual exploration in kids. I'd be lying if I said that I'm not really concerned after what I've heard about what she wrote. Some of it gives me the creeps. But the line between just being inappropriate and being abuse can be blurry.…

I've done counseling with abused children, but I haven't read Dunham's book, so I can't tell you for sure. I can tell you that kids do some pretty unexpected sexual things. At least half of the things Dunham says, maybe more, sound within normal behavior (like being curious and looking at her sister's genitals,…

Can I just say how much I love that the managing partner's last name is Tea and he's opening a cafe? That's like the local chiropractor whose last name is Backman. I'm not joking, there seriously is a chiropractor whose name is Dr. Backman.

The thing that makes it fun for me is that on one side of my family tree, I have pirate ancestors. On the other side, I have an ancestor who was famous for judging pirate trials. I love that I have so many ancestors that probably hated each other, and yet, somewhere down the line, people on either side got married,…

He did more than just take the dead bodies, though. He left letters and criticized how the families took care of the grave sites. He was taunting people who were, and still are, grieving.

That doesn't change the fact that by making threats, they're losing support from a greater majority of people. I'm far more likely to listen to someone with a well thought out argument than someone who resorts to threats and violence.

There are things I don't agree with her on as well. Her criticism of The Hunger Games and how Katniss' mental state deteriorates over time was off. I appreciated the more realistic portrayal of the impact of that kind of ongoing trauma and grief that many stories like that tend to overlook. I thought it made…

Moral of the story: you're more likely to die of alcohol poisoning than you will of this chemical if you drink too much of it. But from the sound of it, why would anyone want to drink that much of it? Sounds gross, antifreeze or not. Blech!
