If you don’t have kids and don’t intend to have kids, then you lack some very basic frames of reference. A parent’s preoccupation from birth until the parent’s death, is the health and safety of their kid. The whole job is to feed, clothe, educate, nurture and most importantly, teach their kid how to interact

Which do you think is a more prevalent problem? I’m not being cavalier...I don’t know anyone who was truly, honestly closeted from their parents. Their parents may have tried to convince themselves that their kid wasn’t gay, but that’s a different kettle of fish. Homophobic parents are horrible, but they don't need

You are a stupid motherfucker.

Yes. Not SWAT, but sellers should absolutely be prosecuted. Advancing the belief that your product is more healthy, when in fact it is hugely dangerous (stand up, hippies, all of you who are open to giving your kid E. coli) should be prosecutable. Raw milk is no more reasonable than refusing to vaccinate your kid; it

Don't deny the Superga.

He’s not “chill”. He presides over an institution which tries to prevent sex education and condom use among the largest at-risk populations in the world. He leads a college of cardinals committed to excluding LGBT, women and divorced people from participation in the church and the sacraments. He leads a church that

I’m with you on Kane, mostly because the woman went to police and had a rape kit done. While it’s true that people, especially young people do ill-advised things while under the influence, few and far between is the dude who doesn’t know when he’s forcing the issue. Though I’d not like to see sex reduced to mutual

I’m not that skeptical. The problem rape accusers face when they allege rape wayyyy post facto is that they have evidence problems, witness problems, and chronology problems. That’s not to say the alleged assaults didn’t happen, but rather that the information that courts need to find guilt or liability is

She’s gone through several lawyers. That’s usually an indication that her claim is tough to validate and/or settlement is unlikely.

PA needs more women in positions of power, but KK is truly a lousy AG. She's a horrible manager and worse, for a politician, incredibly thin-skinned. She's also no stranger to Byzantine political maneuvering (She's from Scranton, after all, which area is so corrupt it makes Philly look like a convent.)

Both PA and KY are Commonwealths. Oddly enough, both have legislatures populated by morons and bigots.

As a responsible gun owner, I’m sure you keep your gun(s) away from your kids in a safe with trigger locks, and unloaded to keep tension in the mag spring. So, assuming someone breaks in to your house, are you going to find your keys, run to the safe, open it, release the trigger lock, load the gun, and then

Except for that one time when he went down to Georgia.

I’m Alanis Morissette’s age. I would die happy if I never heard one of her songs again. If that record did anything, it confirmed that that dude made the right call. Before I lived with a wife and daughters, I would on occasion leave the seat up, because a guy living alone forgets. Invariably, my girlfriend at the

Good parents don’t exploit situations that emotionally damage children for profit. Good parents don’t humiliate each other in front of their children. Good parents who find that they aren't compatible, or who can't resolve their issues get divorced for the good of their children.

This guy is actually pretty self-aware. He not only owns up to making unpopular choices but says why he made them; he also doesn’t care what others think. He’s not deflecting at all.

Private residence, off campus, no assault. The school can’t do anything.

C’mon. Cleaning lady as a descriptor, particularly when it is a cleaning lady, is pretty innocuous. How about the people who call middle aged men “pool boys”, or call a “handyman”, or those that automatically assume that nurses or other care givers are women? Are they all assholes, or just using traditional forms?

Politics don’t really trump aesthetics. People have freedom of speech and freedom of expression, both of which I endorse. However, I don’t find every artistic expression or body adornment beautiful. I think the trend of celebrating fat people is stupid, but I also don’t like people who make fun.

I don't know where you're from, but I'll bet it sucks.
