No, slaves didn't have an option to leave. You do. LEAVE. Go live in the woods and stop taking advantage of the government amenities you happen to like. You sign the social contract by driving on public roads, eating food that someone has approved for safe consumption, having a car that fits safety standards, and…

Do you think that if your husband got use it or lose it paid leave to be used within the first 6 months of the birth of a child, he would use it? This is the program many Scandinavian and European countries instated to encourage men to take leave. Do you think if he had the same position at the same company but was a…

Do you mean Rudy Guede, whose DNA was found all over the bedroom, the victim's body, and who matched the hand and footprints at the scene of the crime? I don't know if she accused, but the evidence is pretty hard to beat.

His theory is the women get paid because they take off more time for child care. Men and women are allotted the same amount of time off, period. Maternity leave is covered in FMLA and men can use it too. Men can take sick leave to take care of children. The only difference is that employers, falsely, don't expect men…

You know, people respond to grief and anxiety in many different ways. When I found out a few weeks ago that one of my friends had suddenly died, I wanted to smile even though I was completely in shock and devastated. Sudden shock can do all kinds of weird things to people. Your responses are totally freaking out in…

I think to some degree we are moving towards that and it is working. I think it could definitely work on a world scale in terms of laws and regulation. I'm not sure it could practically work on a financial level due to just the time it would take to collect and administer taxes. I think if we ever discover other alien…

My computer fucked up on my earlier post. I meant to post this picture at the end and I am sorry you had to miss it:

Are you serious? Because if you are I would love to seriously respond to you. Honestly, I have a completely logical argument to that question.

I'm not sure if you are a troll or my libertarian best friend (my best friend is actually libertarian), but here is the answer: because we live under a social contract. I get you, to you personal freedom is a freedom that is valued above all else. However, we are too large a society for that to function. If you feel…

I don't know why more don't acknowledge that Rand Paul and those like him either complete sociopaths, complete idiots, or both. You want to decrease unintended pregnancies? All the countries that have done that successfully have government funded comprehensive sex ed programs and accessible birth control. You want…

Also "not to a gay couple! A child deserves a mother and father who will remind it of Jesus!"

46K a year, plus the fact that he probably works in the private sector now and makes at least 80K, PLUS her six figure salary (you can look it up), plus don't veterans get other benefits when they retire? Look, if I made 46K and my husband made 100K, I basically should no longer be allowed to say "that is totally…

I think it's that women aren't socialized to say "uh no you stick" as much as men, or think of scent as a reason to not go down on a dude. I think I'd like to point out to my bf that I have never ever refused to go down on him and he tasted kind of bad all the time. Like, it's your body in your pants all fucking day,…

Yeah, you know, maybe if I was a fucking congressman making a six figure salary, with a military husband, I would also be able to see my down's syndrome kid for his potential and not be bothered with the avalanche of lifelong medical bills and personal education and therapy.

It definitely seems like assault over murder. I suppose she could have died, but if he beat her up and she could have died but didn't it wouldn't be murder. His intent wasn't to kill a person, it was to do bodily harm to her.

Classic.

I think Trader Joe's has the best price on coconut oil, but Amazon is also pretty good for almost everything.

So, when my bf and I started dating, we had a discussion about what we would do if I got pregnant and he was basically like "listen, I don't want to have a kid for a number of years, if you got pregnant, I would help you get an abortion, but I am not going to be supportive of going through with a pregnancy in the next…

Yeah I only do it probably once a week. Coconut oil is a good cheaper alternative.

have you tried putting oil in your scalp/hair before you go to bed? I do this sometimes for extra moisture. I'll rub coconut, almond, or argan oil in my hair, go to bed and wash it out in the morning.
