I'm really of 2 minds about this. On the one hand, public figures should speak against the apartheid there. On the other hand, it's a powerful book about a situation that has some similarities. It would be a generous and worthwhile gesture to publish and speak about the book's ideas in Israel.

I think I dated that guy too. Yuck.

This has become a default way to behave and it's the end of civilization for sure. You can be sure that such a guy will never make a woman happy without profound changes to his character. if you think back on the relationship there probably signs from the beginning that he was the kind of person to do this, subtle…

I have this problem with my cat.

separate bathrooms are a MUST.

I think it goes both ways. I didn't get a lot of love from my parents and I tend to be attracted to men who got too much. Too much is almost as bad as too little because they don't develop proper boundaries and are very dependent but resentful of their dependence. People like me fear abandonment because we have…

i love this

and herpes simplex doesn't live long outside a body. It's the bacterial stuff I'm more worried about.

i wonder how many people going 'ewww' here have no problem putting a penis in their mouth. What could possibly be filthier than a penis?

If this place is really a private club, with dues paying members whose cards are checked at the door everytime, well then I'm Marie of Roumania.

When I worked at a sushi place we all groaned about Koreans. But really, tipping seems to have more to do with character than anything else. Some young people tip well, some don't. Some old people tip well, some don't. Some black people tip well, some don't. Some women tip well, some don't. Some men tip well, some…

oh they said so? that's ok then.

does it matter that much?

umm, no to the assumption that only black people where adidas. I have a pair. I call them racist because of products gross insensitivity to the historical legacy of racism.

the chains on these sneakers are not an allusion. they are a direct replica on the kind of chains put on slaves in this country. it's a grossly insensitive stupid product.

Well,only certain classes of people end up with chained ankles. I was thinking of chain gangs, not just slavery. Wealthy people and their scions never end up on the chain gang.

They are both racist and dumb. I'll throw in classist as well.

she and john edwards deserve each other.

You can still get chicken pox if you're vaccinated. The vaccine isn't very strong and you may not have built up enough immunity. Seen it. In my day parents deliberately exposed their kids to chicken pox because it was seen as the best immune builder. A good bout of it as a kid should prevent you from getting it as an…

Y'know, I kind of admire Prince Charles. He's been an advocate for sustainable agriculture and environmental concerns since what? the 80s? I remember how people would make fun of him for caring about compost. And he tried to start projects to renovate inner cities which pissed off the Thatcherite government. He's ok…
