    I've always read declawing a cat is equivalent to a human's fingers being cut off. Most vets I know refuse to do it citing it's inhumane. Good for part of Cali!

    A dozen-odd blows to human kind, though at least one long-awaited plus to felines of the US (at least in part of California).

    Fuck that, California, if my cat had claws my house would be in shambles. Maybe you should ban tasers instead. Just a thought.

    @Snowbunny: Glad to hear the state of your house is more important to you than the pain your cat experienced as a part of its body was being ripped from it forever. Declawing is a brutal practice. Pretty sure you wouldn't want anyone removing your fingernails, hm? Why should it be any different for an animal?

    Is there a UK Jezie around who can explain this law to me? Being eligible for your partner's estate seems like a good thing, so why is Baroness Deech saying it sets women back? Am I misunderstanding the Law Commission's statement or is she commenting on an old law?

    @jemandtheholograms: Ruth Deech is a very well respected expert on family law. Her views on divorce are interesting in that she does not believe that women who are otherwise able to work should be awarded any maintenance in a divorce [business.timesonline.co.uk] (this does not affect child support) and her views on cohabitation are similarly esoteric. [headoflegal.blogspot.com]

    Basically, my understanding of her position is that she thinks that people ought to be encouraged to ideally (a) make wills, so that their estates are awarded according to their express wishes, or, failing that (b) get married or form a civil partnership, which has benefits for society. Just cohabiting with someone ought not be enough to have the estate awarded to that person, as opposed to their children, siblings or parents, absent their express wishes as set out in a will.

    The lesson here is for everyone to please, please please make a will. Your assets will need to be divided no matter how small your estate is, and the legal bills will be more if you do not have a will.

    Congratulations to Shane Ryan! You've just earned yourself a special spot in the brand new 1,000th circle of hell where you'll find accommodations like:

    -Reliving your horrible life on earth!
    -Being reminded of how pathetic you are!
    -Seeing the consequences of your actions firsthand!
    -Thinking about what you did!
    -Ultimately realizing that your existence was a sad and pitiful one!

    And that's not all! If you continue to behave in such a way, you'll get all of these wonderful accommodations for... ETERNITY!

    @likepenguins: I read the article (off topic, but filled with grammatical errors btw) and while I was relieved to hear that the cop only tasered her for an extremely short period of time, I couldn't stop asking "Surely there has to be some protocol in between 'ten year-old not complying' and 'tasering a ten year-old,' no?"

    Hmmm... I wonder if acne would be a symptom of the women's vitamin A deficiency. I think accutane is just a big old dose of vitamin A.

    "breathtakingly unkind" is the best I've heard that movie described. If someone used that phrase to describe anything I had ever done, I think I would cry in shame.

    In reply to Living Together Is Not "Trial Marriage"
    If I move in with a boyfriend, it's because it's a serious relationship that I could see potentially ending in marriage. I wouldn't view it as "trial marriage" though - it'd be the two of us cohabitating because we love each other and want to see each other.

    Though I would need my own bedroom to keep my stuff that I could escape to if necessary.

    Re: peeing with the door open, not showering/combing my hair on the weekends, dancing around in my underwear - I already do all that at my boyfriend's house. I only spend a couple nights there a week, but on our lazy Sundays I'm going to be myself. If he can't handle me as me now, it'll be abig shock later.

    In reply to Living Together Is Not "Trial Marriage"
    I've lived with 2 boyfriends and being someone who could care less about marriage, it has always been more about how can I get the most awesome apartment I could NEVER afford by myself? Well that and for some reason living with a bf has always been more tolerable than roommates.

    Why is it always assumed that ANYTHING you do in a relationship has to lead to marriage?

    Its not on my list of goals, I figure if it happens, it happens. That and I've always figured if you have to try to MAKE it happen, maybe it shouldn't.
