I heard a similar story from a Korean-American friend. I don't remember the details, but someone did something like snatch the cigarette from her.

The dick is transferring its potential cancer energy into whatever thing it is poking, obviously.

Do you think it could have been the friend who you had a falling out with?

Why wasn't the body removed????? Could they not find it?

I used to get sleep paralysis all the time when I was younger, but fortunately for me, it eventually stopped.

It seems to me that the changes in India mainly came about as a result of protests from within India, rather than from foreign governments or organizations. Obviously, I think that's a good thing, but it's frustrating that so many horrible things go on with the whole world watching, and nobody can really stop it.

This is about the only convincing argument against white people jokes I've ever heard. I think jokes about how white people can't dance/aren't cool/listen to NPR/whatever are just a way you can get away with saying that white people are focused on real, intellectual accomplishments while people of color are only…

Wait, American media is helping you deal with racism? Does this mean the British media is more racist than ours? Because our media is crazy racist! The British TV that makes it to the US doesn't seem that bad on racial issues, actually.

Who the hell are these people? I mean, I am an atheist who doesn't give a crap about the baby Jesus, and I know Christmas has pagan roots, but I don't see how hard it is to grasp that it is also a Christian holiday and that people who come from other religious backgrounds shouldn't be expected to celebrate it. Most of…

Aren't you the one being ethnocentric here? You're assuming that a holiday celebrated by the dominant culture of the US, the one that you are presumably a part of, is neutral. Just because many atheists or agnostics (including myself) choose to emphasize the secular or pagan aspects of Christmas, and just because many…

You would totally be welcome as a terrible colonialist! After all, it's a holiday celebrating terrible colonialism.

The Mirena does sometimes fall out - it usually happens to people when they are on their periods, and the cervix isn't as tightly closed as normal. Apparently some people don't notice (which is the part that surprises me). You're supposed to check the string after every period to make sure it's still there. So, it's…

I get what you're saying, but I think it's pretty admirable to question your own privilege. It's pretty easy to see inequality when you're part of a group that's being discriminated against, but it takes a lot of effort and empathy to really understand what other people go through.

Reading comprehension fail. Did you miss the part about how he thought it was okay to be violent because he was taught that men just need to let it out? Women are taught not to be agressive; men are taught that violence is manly. If you are genuinely concerned about men's well being, you would question why society…

There was a similar campaign somewhere in Canada recently; reports of rape actually dropped while it was running.

God, I am so sorry for what you went through. My family is a piece of work and particularly crazy when it comes to anything sexual in nature, but what you went through sounds awful. I hope you are doing okay.

Yes, you are a bad parent. It sounds like you basically stopped parenting your child when he was around 5 if you think the last thing you ever had to teach him was how to tie his shoes. Believe it or not, parents are also responsible for teaching their children how to interact socially with other people, disciplining…

Thanks for your input. It's good to know I'm not just being neurotic. I like the idea of paying him back - that way we can avoid the interest, and I can still have paid my own way.

How long have you had her? It can take a while for them to get used to new people.

So, my husband wants to pay off my college debt. From his point of view, he can easily afford it, and since we are married we share our debt, and it makes financial sense to get it out of the way so it isn't collecting interest.
