    I love how little Kang Mengru is just straight chilling out with her juice box, like "yeah, I got my twin cut out of me, whatever, it's cool." #babies

    I'm revealing my ignorance here, but I had no idea that the US banned people with HIV from entering the country. This shocked me more than anything else in the post. A little googling reveals that the other 11 countries with similar bans are: Armenia, Brunei, Iraq, Libya, Moldova, Oman, Qatar, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Sudan. ([www.washingtonpost.com])

    Sad. #babies

    I didn't realize there was a ban on people with HIV entering the country. You must be able to get exceptions, since I can think of several people who have adopted kids with HIV from Africa.

    I'm glad the ban will be reversed. Why next year, though? Does it take a long time to do something like that? #babies

It's in the middle of a mandatory waiting/comment period - the process started back in June I believe (which, in terms of "acting fast" in Washington, 6 months is pretty much as good as it gets) #babies

    I read about some religious leaders who were worried about being charged with inciting crime by preaching about how homosexuality is evil.

    So... when are they doing the "Thou Shalt Not Kill" lessons? #babies

    @thebootyfaerie: To be fair, after I read an article and learned about all the anti-hate speech laws that are enacted around the world, I was pretty shocked.

    Don't get me wrong- I absolutely despise the world's hatemongers- but I also hate censorship.

    The only problem was that so many of these religious leaders didn't just worry that they'd be charged with crime for preaching against homosexuality- they said it would happen (when there was nothing in the bill at all saying so). #babies

    @thebootyfaerie: A ridiculous fear, by the way, considering that incitement to violence is one of the hardest things to prove under First Amendment law. A dude gave a speech at a KKK rally encouraging people to seek "revengeance" and THAT speech was considered protected under the First Amendment.

    The people who cry "free speech" in response to hate crimes legislation are ignorant tools. But you already knew that. #babies

    Honestly, I couldn't think you're overreacting more. I simply don't understand why it's so unacceptable to people that - if all of our psychology is evolutionarily shaped (and it is) - our concept of beauty might also be.


    What is possibly unreasonable about suggesting that we prioritize symmetry in beauty, attractiveness, etc. (we do; studies confirm it)? What is possibly unreasonable about suggesting that any factor that leads to less bonding time with infants would be selectively bred out of a species (it has: this study is about our minds' effects to breed out birth abnormalities)? What is possibly unreasonable about suggesting that our social construct of beauty is derived extensively (if not exclusively) from our intellectual parsing of our biological urges?


    Look, we all have physical flaws, but pretending like it's a monstrous thing for people to prefer people who are attractive over those who have physical flaws is to be unreasonable. It's as if you insist that art can never just be 'pretty', but rather must always have deep insightful meaning, even if it's unavailable to many onlookers. Sometimes it's okay to admit that attractive things are attractive. It's not always a personal attack.

    What a waste of money this study was - did they really think we'd chage as we grew up? BABIES prefer symmetry in facial features - that study's been done.
