    In reply to Oklahoma Couple Wants To "Return" Adopted Son
    The kid's a psychopath. If he ever gets out, one day he'lltake out a swath of women who remind him of his biological mother. You don't come back from those disorders listed above.

    Look, this isn't normal adoption, this isn't a tv movie of the week where the "Problem Child" can be cured by love. And there are NO services for these kids, esp if they haven't been caught doing anything. Drugs don't help, no one except juvie can handle him, and then only until he's old enough and has been indicted. This kid will eat up their lives, their finances, their home, their marriage and others. I have a psych degree and I've worked with disturbed kids, i' know what I'm talking about.

    In reply to On Coed Bathrooms And Showering With Guys
    That's not why it's inherently disproportionate. We talk about this on jezebel all the time - the delusional things men think about women who dress a certain way. What are they thinking about the girls who shower with them? That these girls are available? That they must be whores if they get naked in front of just any guy any time.

    You may think it was a nonsexual experience for you, and the guys might have claimed it to be. But guess what. Guys lie. Guys don't share their emotions. Guys don't show their feelings on their face or body language if they don't want to, b/c they've been socialized to hide that since they were toddlers.

    Maybe if I didn't have a history of sexual abuse i wouldn't be this cynical about guys, but i do and this is how I feel about co-ed bathrooms. I think it's a threatening environment for girls and it's sexual harrasment when some RAs and floor meetings try to force reluctant girls to "just grow up" and go along with the co-ed bathroom policy.

    Rev Hughes - Way to miss out on an opportunity to be relevant.

    On what planet are teenage boys "hard to reach" w/r/t advertising cheap, tasty, junk food?

    I'm flying 2/3 across the country on Christmas Eve and THANK GOD that they passed that three hour law. I'm claustraphobic and an anxious mess on a plane without being imprisoned on it. I've read far too many Consumerist articles about plane imprisonment horror stories, I was starting to seriously dread my flight.

    In reply to Female Hunter Says Women Can Be "Positive Ambassadors To The Non-Hunting World"
    Ykno? That's okay. You can go do your hunting thing, I won't judge, I know we need you (drunken psychopaths) trained sportsmen in PA or the deer would be starving and inbreeding themselves to death. But I really don't need to have a discussion about it. The sight of blood makes me nauseous so please, no bowie knives in the coffeeshops.

    In reply to Mo' Nominations, Mo' Problems: Is Mo'Nique The Subject Of A Film Critic Hit Job?
    You know, I've noticed that it's all so very admirable when a white, male actor chooses to shun award ceremonies or refuses to pander to the Hollywood elite for awards. I think much of the vitriol towards Mo'Nique is because she's a black woman who's essentially telling Hollywood to go fuck itself. And it would seem that folks don't cotton to black gals being all uppity like that. Mo'Nique should just be grateful, right? But why? Hollywood did not and does not give a shit about black actors. Mo'Nique winning this award will not change that...and I'm glad she knows it. Every year or so, they parade people of color out like symbols of diversity, but NOTHING changes on the screen. I'm still fucking looking at Gossip Girls and magazine ads without a single person of color on the page. Fuck a symbol...I want HOLLYWOOD to change. Tokenizing our contributions with a few strategically given awards and pats on the head doesn't change the face of Hollywood. And in the end, Mo'Nique will likely be back where she started. However, she won't have compromised herself for the sake of an award and her REAL fans will love her just the same.

    I am almost 40. And I'm sick to death of kids and "I'm 20, I'm SO not a kid I have my own rent!" kids I could scream. That's all. Mostly.

    GTFU or STFU.

    @labeled: My dad had a photocopied "sign" that he posted on my bedroom door when I was 15. It read "GET OUT NOW, while you still think you can make it on your own and you STILL KNOW EVERYTHING!"My mom liked to counterbalance Dad's perspective by embroidering a pillow we all had to look at every day which read "Grandchildren are your reward for not murdering your teenagers!"20 year olds are not far from teenagers. God bless and hope you get through. I've seen it, the conflict, in my own parents' home. I liken it to grown adults beating their own head against an electric fence. #groupthink

    This is not aimed as a criticism of this post, Tracie or Tweetbeat... BUT, I couldn't give less of a fuck what any of the twits from the Hills have to say. Ever. The same goes for most of the housewives. Maybe. Okay some are interesting (not you Kelly Bensimon - shut your trap, btw.) But seriously? The Hills-billies have to go.

    And yes, I do skip over their tweets, but just their mere presence irks me.

    In reply to On Coed Bathrooms And Showering With Guys
    We only have coed bathrooms on the one coed floor in my dorm, and we're the first to do so (I go to a conservative Southern school where my dorm is the "weird" dorm). I live on the girls' floor because it's way more quiet, but I basically sleep in my boyfriend's room and use the coed bathroom. It doesn't really bother me, except for when guys pee with the door open. It's probably because I'm just not used to the concept of urinals, but it always surprises me!

    In reply to "Don't Bring A Gun To A Snowball Fight" • Stolen Auschwitz Sign Recovered In Pieces
    DC AND Poland!? Here is a very long comment you will most likely skip but makes valid points:

    1) I'm really surprised so many commenters are anti-snowball fight. This is the most buttoned-up city EVER. Yes, it was hipster-initiated, but it was also the very definition of harmless fun. DC was completely shut down on Saturday. The fact that you could do anything except "avoid getting hit by a car" at 14th and U in the middle of the day is a testament to that.

    2) One of the articles about the Auschwitz sign trots out the "6 million Jews and other people" line. There were more like 11 million people overall killed by the Holocaust - 6 million Jews (3 million of whom were Polish), nearly 3 million non-Jewish Poles, and several million other people, including hundreds of thousands of Roma, homosexuals, socialists, and anybody in Central Europe caught resisting. I do not, under any circumstances, want to discount the horrific effects of the Holocaust on the global Jewish population - but Poland lost 6 million people as well. I really hate when that gets discounted, as that's my family.

    In conclusion, snowballs = good, Holocaust = bad for Poland, too.

    @CherriSpryte: I always get worked up about the death toll from WWII, as even though 6 million Jews were killed, the conservative estimate of Russians lost in the war stands at 22 million. What happened was ultimately terrible, but I hate that the Holocaust is seen as bad for only Jews-- Holocaust = bad for Russians, Poles, and other Central Europeans as well as Jews.

    @Jessysaurusrex: There's a huge difference between "died in the Holocaust" and "died in WW2," but you're right. I think total worldwide deaths in WW2 is what, 60 million? Its insane.

    I am with all those who would hate a co-ed bathroom....and for the record, it might just be the guys I was around in college, but the girls bathrooms were cleaner....and girls actually washed their hands after using the toilet.

    So all that said....where is the photo from?

    Want a kid? Have/adopt a kid. You now have what you want. When the child has issues? Well...bed, made, lie. It's what you wanted.
    Don't want a kid? Don't want to deal with the possible issues that come with a kid? Don't have one.
    Kids aren't dolls. They can be crazy.
    People are idiots.

    In reply to On Coed Bathrooms And Showering With Guys
    Good god, this is like my dream: to be okay with communal nudity and bodily functions. I feel like I should be, and I really WANT to be, but I'm the sort of person who runs the tap when I pee and pulls my shirt down to cover my ass when I change in the locker room.

    The only time I've ever been naked in front of someone I wasn't biologically related to or having sex with was while backpacking in Thailand. I was traveling with an extremely liberal pro-naked kinda gal, and since it was hot as fuck and we weren't paying for rooms with AC, we'd walk around in the nude unless we had to go somewhere, so we didn't sweat up our clothes.

    This, however, ended promptly when she opened the door to a male neighbor one night while I was face down, on the bed reading wearing nothing at all. I immediately started wearing clothes at all times and might still be traumatized.
