Agreed. I’m not saying I want him to die, just that people die every day- why should he be any different?

This! Up until about 5 years ago, I was in the pro-switching camp, for the usual, crappy reasons: my mother did it to me, it didn’t kill or scar me, it’s not abuse, yada yada yada. I can’t remember where, but this line of reasoning was finally introduced to me; the point of parenting is to help mold little humans into…

Yeah, no. I love the idea, these two are obviously meant to be together, but I just watched the “tail” episode (guy can change his face to look like other people, all his babies have tails), and Scully is ALMOST seduced by fake Mulder, and it’s pretty obvious that would have been the first time. The scene is…

Hehehe, that’s what my mom always says! And funny enough, if God hadn’t aborted my now non-existent sibling, I wouldn’t exist! (The space was taken, so God vacated it so I could move in. This is what I say to the whole “How would you feel if YOU were aborted” people, and it makes them soooooooo mad.)

And it’s totally a meaningless description, because the state is still gonna treat birth as the legal beginning of someone’s life. Florida isn’t pushing to give SSNs to fetuses, or reissue all the various government paperwork to its citizens to reflect their “new” beginning of life. Hell, I’m willing to bet FL state…

I’m a fan of “davidsnowie”.

One of my best friends is like that- anti-vax, anti-Western medicine, even believes in chemtrails. Ironically, she rails against Republicans for pushing bogus anti-abortion “science”, and believes in evolution and climate change. Last time she went off on the dangers of vaccination, I told her she was no less…

I was just part of a jury selection, and the whole time the judge was rambling on about how, as citizens, we have the right to due process and a fair trial, I was thinking “I don’t believe you.”

I grew up thinking there was no way my ancestors owned slaves- my father’s side is German and lived in the north, and while my mother’s side is Scotch-Irish Appalachian, they’ve always been dirt poor.
Nope. Turns out they were dirt poor because they owned slaves, and got their comeuppance. I still feel the smallest bit…

Moment of silence and appreciation for all the moms (and dads) who not only raise kids to have a healthy sexual life, but stop asking questions and delivering judgements once their kids are old enough to make their own decisions. May they continue to cancel out this horrible woman and everything that comes out of her…

There are some regressive idiots in the state house and senate for sure, but we still have a Democratic governor who’s gonna veto the shit out of the bills mentioned. So, there’s that.

SAME HERE.
It was just sheer dumb luck that the pigeon dove a little lower and hit the front grill. Feathers everywhere. I was just glad he didn’t hit my windsheild, like what happened here.
Is this a thing? Do we just not know it’s a thing?

So cool! Ever since I got my DNA tested and learned that a good half of my genome comes from the British Isles, I read stories like this and imagine some far away person who lived through it, and their descendants reading the story while never knowing that they themselves carry a small piece of the story inside of…

I’m a dad, but thanks :)

Hehehe, I’ve greatly enjoyed reading through this thread and your replies in particular, and this gave me the such insight! I had been assuming you were a mother as well, because you seem so in touch with your kid’s feelings and emotions, you’ve read so many studies on child development,…

I feel so terrible for any woman that suffered through that godawful shitshow- it’s terrifying enough when one or two men are invading your space and making it pretty obvious they intend to go further, I really just cannot imagine when it’s so many of them, all at once.
This really seems to fit squarely in the realm…

“Mass killers have targeted churches, businesses, movie theaters, schools and hospitals, but they could as easily take their violence to a place where people are armed. Yet they do not.”

Except for Ft. Hood, the Marine recruitment center, and the Navy Yard shootings. And those are just the ones off the top of my head.

Ah, well, if it makes ya feel any better, I was always a semi-finaler at State, never a finaler, even after seven damn years at it. Plus, in my day (sooooo ooooooold) Dunbar and Rowan County could hold their own against us.

Ok, fine, Ellie, I give in. I also have red hair, and am from Lexington, Ky. Alas, I am 32, so I know you weren’t in my class, but if you’re a SCAPA kid, or grew up near the Ashland Estate, then your red hair has totally encountered mine at some point. Long live the flag of red in the bluegrass!

I don’t understand how this would work. Over 80% of abortions are performed in the 1st trimester, where what comes out can fit in a freaking petri dish. How does one cremate or bury anything that size? I mean, I know what they’re trying to do, but for most women it means disposing of something smaller than a goldfish.

I’m not advocating for someone to shoot Justice Scalia.

But 100 Americans are shot each and every day, why should he be any different?
