I gotcha. I read that, I was just referring directly to the other commenter and not the article so much. Obviously, those people are on a whole other disturbing level.

I'm not sure what you mean? I'm talking about what atrixe said as far as people thriving on the attention that their photos and status updates generate, that it's a form of validation. In the case of the article it's weird, creepy people stealing photos. But that description, minus the words "creeps" and "stolen"…

If you think about it, remove the word "stolen" and this basically applies to everyone who constantly posts pictures of their baby/vacation/selfies on a social network.

Cool.

I don't disagree with you at all. Theres no denying that any given group or movement has at one time or another been given a bad name by a group of bad apples.

Well, if you're the type of person that defines an entire group or movement based upon a small minority there's not much else to say.

Please feel free to name these "vocal proponents" you speak of. I'll wait.

Alright. Point still stands.

I think when young women say they aren't feminists it's because they have a completely warped view of what feminism means. It's become a bit of a dirty word over the last several decades unfortunately. A lot of people falsely believe that it means that you hate men, you're angry and bitter and that your hobbies…

That's a reasonable thing to wish for.

Works that way too I suppose. I don't think it was meant to be anything too deep. I don't know, it somehow made sense to me.

Sounds to me like she's saying the high road is a lonely place but she'd rather be alone there with her shadow than be on the low road where things are fake. Hence, the mirage.

Because having 18+ children is, by most people's standards, fucking insane? And people love to rubberneck crazy situations.

You're not alone. I'm halfway through my first pregnancy and I haven't even taken any bump photos, let alone shared them. But I'm the type of person who doesn't like being in pictures in general. I have a little pregnancy journal so I can write things down and keep my ultrasound photos and such, but that's where it…

Oh no. Noooooo. Not preggers. I hate that word so god damn much. It's right up there with hubby.

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that something only exists or doesn't exist based upon whether they believe in it or not. It's fucking bizarre. It's like people who say they don't believe in evolution. Just because you don't believe in it doesn't make it untrue. And vice versa. There are a lot of…

I think you and I are the same person.

Hey, thanks so much, I appreciate that. You guessed right, I am a woman, haha.

Please read through the whole thread. I never said they weren't generalizations. But they're decent indicators. And like I already said, the shelter workers should be able to give you a good indication of the dogs temperament and needs. I acknowledged several times that there are situations that happen outside of…

We're on the same page. People can do all they can and sometimes shit happens. It's the people that don't bother to do a little research or take it seriously enough to consider the good and bad that I have a big problem with.
