*eyeroll* "Willing" implies consent, and we've decided as a society that 15-year-olds are not old enough to give consent. We've made some exceptions in statutory rape laws for minors close in age (so we won't prosecute 15 year olds having sex with 16 year olds in some states), but 20-year olds don't fall under those…

Well it is illegal, isn't it? If someone went around telling people that I was a murderer, I could definitely claim defamation. (Note: I do agree and am mostly on your side, but there are in fact laws about this - from Wikipedia below)

European kid going to a private college in the US? I totally smell money - not sure where you got the assumption that he isn't wealthy. (I'm not saying that he definitely is, just that the odds favor it - and his quote is that he's "not just another rich foreign student" not that he's not a rich foreign student at all)

I do think we need to take a second look at sex offender registries and policies - but I can't help but cringe when I see you wrote "willing 15 year old girlfriend." A 20-year-old guy should absolutelyknow that a 15-year-old girl is not legally mature enough to consent, and I would be concerned about someone who…

Totally irrelevant and possibly derailing, but... shouldn't you start with name-calling, then escalate to physical violence? I'm confused by the sequence of events in this quote.

It's two years later - are he and his girlfriend married/still OK? I'm genuinely curious to see if he proved himself right or not.

I love your point, but as I imagined that situation playing out in real life, I thought, "but wouldn't that be removing his mother's influence on his life? Like his mother's take on women's rights was irrelevant, because the man in his life told him he should respect women?" There's really no winning.

Thanks Amanda! I'd be willing to mix generic ingredients if they had the same frequency (e.g. every 6 hours), but you're right that different directions just means I'm going to mess it up :)

This is actually pretty great - too bad I didn't look before I started taking cold medicine. My big problem is that my symptoms started out one way (fever, headache, stuffy nose) and are now different (stuffy nose, sore throat - which is probably from breathing through my mouth so much), but I've been taking the same…

There was a girl on my tennis team in high school who was dating a guy in college - and she was very, very clear with us that when she was on the phone with him, we were not to say anything around her that could be overheard and leave him to believe that she was still in high school. So at least that guy just didn't…

Ignore my other post - I can't figure out how to delete it. I meant to reply to someone else's comment. Darn kinja...

Wow, she sounds like a great salesperson and a great trainer

My roommate and I knew we'd have a hard time motivating ourselves to go to a gym, especially in the winter, so we got mats and weights for our apartment. It's much harder to give excuses - there's no need to get dressed or drive anywhere. If we had more room, I'd love a stationary bike or something, but for now we…

Or dispute the charge through your credit card - sounds a lot less risky

My mom's friend told us how she looks around her gym and plays the "real or fake?" game when she sees other women in the gym. But on the bright side, she's not judging anyone for their form/exercise game, just whether their... endowments are god-given or not.

Did he misspeak and mean to refer to the Mark Twain award for comedy? Cosby was awarded in 2009 (though is it really that meaningful? Leno won it this year)

Don't be afraid to step away - I powered through after my grandmother passed, and on the second day I just needed to shut down by the afternoon. Luckily my boss at the time was great. I had told her the news the day before, and sent her an email when I felt overwhelmed to tell her I'd leave after lunch.

I'll sometimes give drunk people the benefit of the doubt - they're trying to speak their inner truth, but don't have the brain power to speak it coherently, so it might be coming out differently than how it is in their head. I had a guy in a bar last week who could barely stand straight try to talk about the…

I should have looked closer at your username before suggesting :) Have fun watching it old-school!

It was on PBS at one point, with Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleeson - if you find that version, go with it. According to IMDB, it's available through Amazon Instant: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt009985…
