Yes, by all means, let's not have the government get involved in science and medicine - issues that actually have an effect on the public. Instead, let's ensure that government gets involved in religion and personal sexual orientations. Because, you know, someone's sexual orientation is obviously hurting society…

Here's what I got from the interview: nobody has spoken to her personally, other than her lawyer, who apparently "discovered" the book. So everybody is basing her "willingness" on one person's word, and that person just happens to be the same person who found the book and is pushing for its publication. This should…

I have the same feelings frequently. I told a friend once that it's amazing how I can gain 20 pounds in a day. Obviously, I never have, but it sure feels like it from day to day sometimes. One day, I'll think I'm looking pretty good. Next day, I can't believe how fat I am. I know I have body dysmorphia from years…

I am no fan of Jeb Bush. But there are reasons in the criminal justice system that juveniles are treated different than adults. Teenagers are assholes who have poor judgment. Their brains aren't fully formed and they are capable of doing horrible things they would not otherwise do as adults (particularly under…

Ah. That makes sense. Well, still, screw these guys for using their medical information in this way.

Admittedly, I'm no HIPAA lawyer, but isn't it a violation for them to use your health information in any way not authorized by you? Unless these people authorized the health center to put them on a future fat list to receive emails, I still feel like it should be a violation. The other thing I wonder is who is…

That makes sense. I just wasn't sure whether a person of color would always be offended or always correct someone. But it sounds like the majority would.

An honest question: would every person of color be offended by the term "colored"? You are assuming that the answer to my question is "yes" in your comment. But is it possible that he has friends who are people of color and who are not offended by it and thus have never educated him on its inappropriate use?

That doesn't mean people still don't try to be "fashionable" by trying to wear cute coats, gloves, and hats completely unsuited to the elements. Take a tip from a Montanan: a blizzard is no place to be fashionable. Just give up that dream. Nobody can see you through the blowing snow anyways.

It sounds like nobody is certain who is on the video anyway. I didn't watch it (for obvious reason), but if he is unidentifiable, it's pretty easy to say he's not part of the frat.

Why would someone who is not a member of their frat ask her a question like that? So, someone not a member of Pike asked the girl which fraternity was the best, wanting her to answer "Pike," but he's not a Pike member? What the fuck ever.

I love it when Conservative Christians quote sentences about forgiveness from the Bible to support their own. Because, you know, they are totally about forgiveness and acceptance for everyone else too.

Or if Thomas won't recuse himself from any case that has political implications because of what his wife does, then it's clearly a high bar for what requires recusal. They just don't want to apply the high bar equally.

Speaking of Montana, did you hear about the lawyer who argued in front of the Montana Supreme Court on a "hangover" defense for his client convicted of rape? He seriously quoted the move the Hangover and used it as a defense to rape. It didn't go over well. Here's the defense lawyer's brief (note the opening line…

Best opinion on this subject that I've read:

Yep. The "too drunk" to have raped someone defense works every time. Courts love that defense. We'll see how that goes for you, asshole.

Well, as someone who is taller and has hips, I can say that it can be difficult to find certain clothes. Dresses for example are made for women with boobs if you are tall and/or have hips. I'm 5'8" and wear a size 10, and dresses in my size are not made for women with small boobs. But I really don't care. If…

I like my really small ones. Sure, some clothes look weird because I'm tall and have hips with no boobs. But it's great exercising, sleeping, and generally existing. They literally have no effect on my daily life and I love it. Maybe I'm just weird.

Yeah, I think they can tell early on through the amniocentesis. But I've never had a kid, so that's just a guess.

Yeah, I have a brother who had triplets. They had just gotten financially stable enough for another kid and ended up with three. Needless to say, it set them back quite a bit.
