Except the ones that aren't... (many of whom might sexually harass one in an attempt to make VERY CLEAR that they are not gay, in my experience. But not all of them of course. Just saying, the "they're all gay" comment is definitely not true - esp at foreign airlines.)

Maybe if euthanasia were legal, such diagnoses would be a little less scary - at least so early on...the idea that IF things get to a certain point later on, they'll have choices over their life and death and state of living. No, instead, people have to make those choices "while they still can". (Yes, I took jump and…

That's why it's too bad if they did "pounce", instead asking her to explain herself, i.e. saying, "How/in what way has it become 'easy'?" Sounds like a great opportunity to really discuss might have been ruined by common, political, bickering and temper and indignation. :/

I'm not saying she "deserved" it, but you're not quite making an equal comparison. "Not setting the alarm" isn't the thing (IMHO). It's **going on TV and proudly bragging/showing off your insane materialism** and THEN not even setting the alarm/not locking the door.

And to be fair, if I were an insurance company I wouldn't cover in the absence of locking a door either. Providing insurance is a risk (theoretically, anyway). If I were in a deal to cover a client's losses, I would indicate that reasonable measures be taken (such as locking a door) to protect the investment I'm…

I always find that an interesting point. You say, "there isn't some zero sum pile of money out there that people are taking from." However, it kind of is. Sort of.

They'd investigate, but the findings (not locking/alarming, esp post-publicity) mean insurance would say "sorry, suck it up".

My god I hate the world some days. I know this isn't the worst thing we read on Jez (or the regular news) but I live of life is treating people as you want to be treated. WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD?!

I am mortified to hear that anyone under the age of 70 uses "the gays" unironically. I live in a lovely sheltered place, apparently. (I am in the airline industry - I suppose we're pretty ahead of the curve.)

With my previous on-and-off again bf. We were teetering between "off" and "on" at the time (I really wanted to stay ON), just to up my anxiety about this happening, but...I PEED a decent amount right in his face. Like...RIGHT in. His face.

Absolutely. Since I was about 15, I thought to myself that something like what is here called the "presidential" option (I fantasized about 5-year contract renewals) was what I wished marriage was like.

No. Late term abortions are not something you can just up and say, "you know what? I'm not in the mood to have a baby after all." That's not even possible in most (any?) US states. And I have to say that because I've been through the debate with my husband, who came under the spell of a friend (who now lives far from…

Where int he world did he find that "lawyer"? Fox news?

The reason I am most LIKELY to believe these rumors is precisely BECAUSE they're push the shit outta their "drunk in love" with each other routine. The family videos? The joint tour? The lovely dovey on stage? In pieces, ok. It's a lovely idea. But in rality it's all just...too much. It comes off as incredibly…

Yes, agreed. And it's a good distinction to make. I think publicly she is amazing and I appreciate her highly. (Which is why I was so gutted to keep getting this disappointing stories about her in person. I had a really hard time putting those two images of her together in my mind [goddammit what's the word for that?…

Yeah, Oprah sucks in a lot of ways (according to the interactions of many people I know who have interacted with her - all with different but consistent experiences), but in THIS way she is hands down amazing. I have never so thoroughly and concisely understood grooming before, but what she said clicks. And it's…

THIS. +10

Or maybe being a god in bed is not her #1 priority out of all the things one gets/needs/deserves in a relationship. Better a ho-hum lover than...lots of other possibilities. Good sex is not hard to find. Good everything else is damn near impossible.

I like that site, but it seems that every time I see something I'm inspired enough to go online searching for...that site doesn't have it :( But it's the best we got for now.

If they can actually get this to work, I'll be hooked. Especially for those times I fall for (e.g.) something worn by a character on a TV show. SOLD!
