    "Meanwhile, anti-choice groups in England are allowed to give presentations in schools where they are winning converts to the anti-choice cause by showing students images of rare and graphic abortions of fetuses from later terms of pregnancy."


    I wish they would have tried this when I was in school. I would have called them on soooooo much bullshit.


    Love having medical parents. Also love being pretty precocious as a kid (got kicked out of Religious Education for telling the God Squad that the Adam and Eve story wouldn't work due to genetics. Probably would have gotten away with it if one of the idiots hadn't ACTUALLY said "Well maybe God invented genetics later" and I just fell off my chair laughing and saying "Oh man, you actually believe that shit...")

    "she is making fair competition between men and women in sports look easy"


    Is there really no way to win? If a woman makes it on the team, she's making it look too easy. If she isn't put on the team, it's sexist. Um, can't we just be happy a little bit sometimes? And not to be obvious, but as long as men have the incredibly significant advantages of greater height, greater muscle mass, and testosterone, there really isn't such thing as "fair competition between men and women in sports." I say, off with their balls! ;)

    Re: JT... erm... I try to keep outta peoples wallets, ya know?


    Yeah, it's easy to say 'They've got money, they should do X with it/give more/whatever," but... I dunno... it makes ME uncomfortable when friends count my money (like saying, "YOU can afford to pay for my lunch..."), so I try not to do it with others, even celebs.

    @tessa: I've always thought it's too bad these well-meaning celebs don't give to established organizations like the Red Cross or Habitat for Humanity.

    Those groups already have the infrastructure in place, so more/new money could go to the cause they're all wanting to support.

    @pestified's new O(bama)Face: from what I understand, it's a bigger tax break. there are limits on how much an individual can contribute to charity, so they set up foundations to funnel money to charities to a) give more and b) get a bigger write-off. It encourages more money to be given.

    It's a little complex to say that black men don't get mental health treatment bc of stigma. It's possible that they seek treatment less, but they are certainly overrepresented in terms of people who get cast as mentally ill, for example in public psychiatric hospitals as a result of civil commitments, or in contact with the criminal justice system.

    @ceejeemcbeegee: It doesn't even have to be on that level though. How does it cost a "Non profit" org 146,000 bucks to hand out ONE grant of 30 grand? There's stingy, and then there's just plain inefficient/corrupt.

    @J.D.Regent: One of my friends, who just turned 30, committed suicide a couple of weeks ago, and had apparently been suffering from depression, which not a lot of people knew about. His widow (at 27 years old) spent some of her eulogy talking about how he didn't want anyone to know because he was afraid he'd be stigmatized and people would stay away from him. She and his mother urged young people, especially blacks, to not be afraid to reach out for support.


    I'm not disagreeing with you on the over-representation thing (I don't know one way or the other), but I do know that there is a fear of being seen as weak, or suffering from illnesses that have been categorized as "something black people don't get" in the community.

    @mmmchan: I'm in outpatient mental health care - stress/anxiety/depressive disorders - and I don't hide it. I'm not exactly proud of it (except in the "I'm getting help, I'm not denying there's a problem" sense), but I try to be upfront and honest about it, because for every one of me, there are a lot more people who are afraid of the stigma that comes with it.


    What I've found the worst is actually the attitude of other healthcare providers - those who are dealing with my physical health issues. Some have been downright derisive about my condition to my face, as if trying to bait a response out of me. For example, I was recently hospitalised due to collapsing periodically, which is linked to migranes. When the triage nurse asked if I'd taken any painkillers, I replied no, as I was stuck on painkillers for a long time by my previous GP instead of actually diagnosing the condition that was causing the pain. Her response? "Oh, so you're a drug addict and that's why you're under the psychotherapists?"


    I mean, what the fuck, seriously.

    I think the arguments over Thanksgiving are fair enough; Celebrating how the Puritans systematically ripped off the Native Americans isn't really cause to indulge. I understand the other themes of Thanksgiving such as 'togetherness', but that's still a pretty big one to overlook.

    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Did you ever see the episode of "northern exposure" where the Indians celebrated thanksgiving by lobbing tomatoes at all the white people? I wish they'd do that, I'd take it in good humor if I were nailed with a tomato around thanksgiving.

    My Earth Science teacher in HS tried the single-sex classroom experiment. Both classes ran pretty even, grade-wise, but he said he had a harder time with the girls-only class because we were nastier to each other without the boys there. The mean-girl types in the class definitely dominated over the rest of us in a way that I didn't notice in mixed-sex classes.
