Ugh, the stupid let's have guns in the parks people advanced the bill. are they morons?

Minors in prostitution sting put in safe housing- not jail.

I hear that when Day to Day ends, it will be replaced with Here and Now on MPB. Thank you MPB for keeping news radio where people can hear it.

The importance of vaccination.

I think that if you shoot someone, you should be off without pay.

Angel Food Ministries raided by FBI.

Why there is so much rage about some lady having 8 kids. I was shocked because I'm thinking dude, all of these tax cuts the repubs are pushing will cost more...and really, people, death threats?

Another charity joins the fight against teen prostitution. Her links don't work right, but an indie soaper will raise funds for this.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

A documentary on teen prostitution will run on showtime.

It's sad to take victims of abuse to jail.

A LJer makes the case for including asexuals in the LBGT umbrella.

Outlaw Midwives have a manifesta and I sit back saying I prefer hormonal birth control, certified midwives, etc.

People are still debating about the word bitch. Here's one side of the debate.and here's another.

I usually avoid the debate by talking about what a terrible person whoever I am disagreeing with is, how their morals are bankrupt, and their taste in food is terrible.

ok, this wank is epic. dryer sheet and book wank.

I don't think teenagers' dumb naked pictures are child pornography. They are dumb naked pictures, taken by teens who believe the way to be sexy is to send naked pictures to people. Teens? they are dumb.

Hucksters stealing money from desperate parents are shot down.

I'm not letting my 8 year old wax shit. Yea, kid, you're going to have to just deal!

I feel like giving this lady some money just because she's bagged on so much. Those tax cuts that you love so much are taking way more money out of our budget than some lady's kids.

People in TN don't even believe in evolution, which is why we lag behind- poor education.

I like this post. The idea that everyone has to live in atomistic households is actually fairly new, and in many parts of the world, or heck, sometimes even many parts of this city, isn't followed.

Speak! CD ad.

PETA's stupidity is mocked on the internet.

Another guy talks about how dumb PETA is.

PETA offends right thinking people. It also trivializes the KKK.

BFP and Adele are building community and stuff.

Also, they have pictures of their altar.

I think I'll continue to make fun of furries. I'm a solitary sort, and even when I am with others, I am alone.

Folks who talk about folks being 'thugs' and 'animals' are nowhere to be found now that the faces of violence are revealed.

The idea that 'street crime' is the only crime obscures what we can do to fight crime. Domestic violence is crime. Your clean cut white kid getting drunk and menacing the roads is crime. Some guy stealing a billion dollars? That's crime too.

Anti Vax based on faked science. Could we please stop spreading disease now?

Not to mention, crazy mess also based on money, causes guilt to parents.

Deep thoughts on obesity.

Hey, here's a stop the violence against women thing in Detroit.

Barack Obama uses bad words. We all swoooon.

Ok, that's awesome.

Woman is in terrible relationship, will bring baby into it. I hear that 85% of women will end up pregnant with one year's unprotected intercourse. Pulling out doesn't work. Wrap it before you tap it!

also, the stupidfree post. BTW: if your boyfriend is like the OP's- dump him

Dear judgmental lady:

screw off. She can use her uterus for her own purposes, and if people give her cash, that's their deal. Just be glad *you* don't have 14 kids.

You know why nothing gets any better? Comments like this. The assumption is that normal people can do nothing but quarantine the 'thugs'[which I disagree with the whole idea of a 'thug' as it perpetuates the idea that there are 'criminals' and 'the rest of us' and if only we killed all the 'criminals' everything would be fine]

Note that this report says that both males were in their 50s. and the shooting was over a parking dispute. We could prevent shootings like this by educating ourselves on anger management, deescalation skills, not carrying guns around in our cars. The emphasis on thugs obscures these simple things we can do to prevent violence. Because violence doesn't come from outside of the community, it comes from all of us. When you don't invest in the fabric of your community, saying oh, those folks are too dark, those folks are too poor, you get crime.

BTW: elle b has an important post on rape, virginity, and the connection between that and sexual choice making. We need to change the attitude that once you've lost it, either by saying yes or by coercion, your bodily integrity doesn't matter.

A TN person intercedes in the case of an accused atheist.

Hey, this guy is awesome! When you invest in people, you get more out of it than when you invest in tax breaks.

PZ Meyers alerted me to the case.

I'm edgy on the internet! I like receiving oral, but I don't like giving it. I don't go around thinking about my teeth being around my partner's pleasure center. I'm thinking 'eh, his precum tastes a bit salty...you know...I think his cock is a bit large..., oops, too close to the gag center'

I need a name for women like me. any help?

As an angry, evil radfem, I'd like to note that even women with gag reflexes[i.e. the majority of us] can give great head.Deeper isn't always better- good technique can make up for your lack of uh..porntasticness. Yes, that's the first thing I thought of saying. I feel better now.

Mississippi governor is an idiot. He's against unemployment benefits for part time work, which is bunk. I'm sure many Mississippians would LOVE to work full time, but their job won't give them the hours. Or maybe they live in a small town, and there's not as many employers to choose from or something.

I have no idea what is going on in this article. Any help?

The New Know Nothings are covered in the New York Times.

A feminist says we should get out nose out of the octuplet lady's cunt.

Another feminist has other ideas.

Ginmar talks on the internet.I want to give her a hug?! what? am I forgetting my eternal anti-ginmar feud? Maybe, because I forget what it is about.

The American Cargo Cult, found in Making Light.

My favorite is this one:

Your opinion matters as much as anyone else's

When a person has studied a topic, he has no more real knowledge than you do, just a hidden agenda.

That reminds me of the widespread belief that doctors are part of a widespread conspriacy to kill us all, because they get money from evil companies. The sad bit is that people don't understand that vitamin supplements, people who give out 'herbal' treatments, and general hucksters aren't doing this for free. They get book sales, publicity, and cash payments, you know.

Also, organic peanut butter is also made in factories. You know that,right?
