I just lol'ed in an otherwise quiet room from the glorious image in my head of that becoming A Thing. God I hope I can remember the name Jeanette Dan....DAMMIT- something or other! It could be the new sooper-secret Jezebel code word.

To your last point, agree. Yes! They should think carefully. And there are people who sign up because they do want to go off and kill things like a cowboy. But in my personal experience those are the real minority.

Or, more like, don't join the military because the life-risking possibilities aren't' worth it to them. The military is not an easy choice for most people.

I'd rather my empathy be called "paternalistic" than what your ignorant condemnation says about you.

The soldier being there is 0 reflection of what he thinks about the assignment. He is fulfilling a duty asked of him by our country (whether or not we personally like/agree with that duty). One he doesn't get to choose. A really shitty one. And we have no idea why he signed up to do so. Many many many of our soldiers…

Yup.

Ah. So if one hasn't personally flown an airliner into a building, they do not qualify as holding extremist principles and views? Good to know there are about 10 true extremists in the whole world. We can all relax and stop bickering now!

Yeah! Because if you can't name a person "heading" some viewpoint that many people hold, everyone knows that viewpoint totally doesn't exist.

Yup. Because everyone knows, like, having sex with 20 randoms a day (and giving most of what you earn from that to some dude) is, like, way better than...living somewhere other than America, (I guess?)

Barring seats with actual pee them, refusal to hover has always been a secret, sort of girl-code rebellion of mine. I never admit to my friends I think they're stup-, er, don't hover! But I don't.

I'll wear all those shoes! (Though I do think lie vs. lay qualifies as grammar.)

My in-laws sleep apart but seem quite embarrassed that I've figured out. I'm all, "whaaaat? Your son and I LOVE when a hotel room has separate beds. Our guest room is really mostly used by one of us when we're not sleeping well. No shame, MIL!!"

I have had to talk calmly and slowly to several people from my high school days (via FB) who have posted -in all seriousness- about the Beyoncé/demon link. It is bat shit.

Being a grammar nazi here but re: "Brown also can't bend, lay, or sit down", that should be lie, no?

All of them, yuck! I would like to feel empathy for Brandi but I've seem Brandi on RHW and she's a pretty cringe-worthy person herself. Clearly, Eddie has a type.

it would have been way too awkward to even mention thugs like "purity" (or not) to my dad. He'd have just gotten awkward, asked me NOT to explain it more, save for "how much does it cost?"

my sis and I are on vacation with my dad and we're sitting here howling at this! (thanks!)

Shia Leboeuf?! (or however you spell his name)

However, I LOVE that the best way to say who this guy is, is "Kristin Chenoweth's boyfriend". (So, the opposite of what happened when L'Wren Scott killed herself.)
