Ahhh boo. I'm 28 and went to Willow in Agoura. Then Lindero middle School and back to Agoura High. I moved around from Agoura to T.O. to Westlake all throughout 1st-12th. But I totally worked at the TO Mall in high school. I miss that job so much. I ate Hot Dog on a Stick almost every day for a few years there. Read more

No, the effects these studies outline couldn't possibly be the result of the fact that men are just naturally nurturing, but that they can't usually express it because THE… Read more

I have the same reactions when one of my guy friends says this to me. "I didn't really believe in feminism until I had a daughter!" Read more

The same thing that leads someone to a "Come to Jesus" moment could lead another person to a "See ya Jesus" moment. But there is definitely a classist element to many of the low-blow swipes against religion. When people… Read more

In addition to robbing sweet young girls who've been sexually molested of the thing that helps them recover, there's a lot of neocolonialism in the anti-religious atheism. "Religion" is not just the Catholic Church, or Christianity, or even the 5 major world religions. Religion includes the faiths of different Native… Read more

I'm not really gay but yet upon reading, my brain excitedly thought, "Zachary Quinto is single?!"

The bit about going back to same levels of using as before is why relapse is so dangerous and deadly and sad.
