I wonder if this could be done as sort of...well, like a group distribution list in an email program, to use a crude metaphor.

When over 92% of women say they did not feel that badly about having an abortion, and in repeated studies, they say the same thing: that an overwhelming majority did not feel badly, I tend to believe them. What's still confusing you about this?

We got no beef, except for your failure to comprehend the sentence, "This isn't to say that women shouldn't feel bad about having an abortion, just that the vast majority of the women involved in this study didn't."

The black/white way of thinking is influenced by the facts revealed in this study, among others: that most women (92.6%, in this case) "indicated that they were positive they wanted abortions and didn't seem angry, ambivalent, sad, or depressed about it."

This isn't to say that women shouldn't feel bad about having an abortion...

The answer has been provided for you multiple times, but you just don't seem to be comprehending it: because your body isn't the one that gestates a child.

Then permit me to go ahead and be ecstatic enough about it for both of us, because as far as I'm concerned, a fetus is nothing more than a nebulous, proto-human clump of cells unless its mother wants it to become more than that.

"I do attempt to avoid pregnancy..."

If a man does not want to be a parent, he can use condoms or get a vasectomy. And, as has already been pointed out, you can take some fucking responsibility for your own fertility, and choose not to have sex with women about whose reproductive plans you're unsure (i.e., if you feel like you can't trust their

I can't agree with you about Kat Dennings being among the best-dressed. Kat is gorgeous, luscious, and talented...but this dress looks awkward, heavy, and uncomfortable. It looks like it's deliberately styled to perpetually appear as if you've just stepped on the dragging inside front hem, yanking the dress down to

I can't share your sympathy. Sure, we don't know the cat owner's story. But we know (or at least, we strongly suspect) that if the cat were a human child, they would not have abandoned it with a couple of cans of food and a blanket. If this had been a human baby, no one would sympathize.

Then I'm strange, too.

Um, she's not a troll, and your willful ignorance of how very elementary copyright and trademark protection works does not make her one.

Me neither. I live in the greater Seattle area, where pretentious hipsters grow a full-on Grizzly Adams so they have a place to hide all of their wanktastic, depressing folk rock MP3s and single-source coffee blog posts.

Every one of my coworkers is on the Paleo diet. At least a dozen of them will lecture you on its benefits if you stop to talk to them in the hallways. Mysteriously, however, despite their zeal, leftover boxes of candies and holiday cookies left out in kitchen areas are magically emptying. Perhaps tiny unicorns are

There's nothing wrong with judiciously-applied perfume (as ZeldaPinwheel described, that is only for one's own personal enjoyment, and only intended for the detection of those in one's intimate proximity).

Indeed, just to equal things out, I think I would like to puncture Taranto's nutsack with a power auger.

Well, if it's a toss-up between austere, post-WWI Germany on the one hand, and on the other, living in a house where her own father rolls his eyes every time she speaks, and her remaining sister is nothing but frosty and emotionally punishing to her...not so sure I wouldn't take Germany.

Oh, no, actually, it doesn't make it "inaccurate and stupid." Really, seriously, I know you're having a big problem with this concept, but complete strangers on the Internet are allowed to have different opinions from yours. Yes, they are even allowed to decide they're not interested in consuming some bit of culture

Since you think you're entitled to see it for free, maybe you should just wait until it comes out on TV.
