And how would you know this if you yourself didn't spend time here? Your sweeping generalizations betray your ignorance.  (Thursday Dec 10 | post #84)

Rev. Warren: 'I'm staying out of gay marriage fight'

No, I just don't begrudge people using their resources to support their beliefs. If you had any power yourself, you probably wouldn't be wasting your time name calling and baiting people with non-substantive posts.  (Thursday Dec 10 | post #62)

It looks at my profile and tracks anything I post, my hubby made his stuff private, but I still feel flattered that some loser out there cares enough to follow my every posting and try to start a fight.  (Thursday Dec 10 | post #29)

I think it's sweet that you're still stalking me. Smooches creep.  (Thursday Dec 10 | post #27)

Honestly, I don't see the big deal with teenagers who choose to go for the tramp look. I would if I had the body I had when I was 16. Besides, teenagers clothing choices are largely influenced by what group of kids they are hanging out with. Many of them will just follow the crowd, which, from my observations are not dressing all that provocatively. Besides, why just target the slutty ones? I'd personally start with banning teenage boys from using straightening irons and skinny jeans, because it annoys me. And being annoying is distracting. More distracting to me than seeing some 13yr old's thong peeping out...  (Tuesday Dec 8 | post #20)

So an entertainer can't express their political beliefs? Or use the resources they have to promote their beliefs?  (Thursday Dec 3 | post #38)

Eh, I wouldn't call it a negative opinion. I just don't like it when people pull the "fat and proud of it" routine. I think it's ridiculous to embrace an attribute of oneself that is negative as positive.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #65)

LW1: Did you get the "it's Ok to be fat as long as I'm fun" validation you wanted from writing in? Good, I'm glad your bubble of delusion won't be popped by a suggestion that your mom may be correct. I think I'm going to write in and ask if it's ok if I drink a bottle of whiskey every day as long as I'm a fun drunk. Then I'm going to ask if that would impede my ability to meet quality men. Then I'm going to ask how to make my alcoholic mother shut up about my drinking. If this chick is really "fine" with herself, she wouldn't be so worried about her mother's opinion. She's actually worried that her mother might be right. LW2: Yeah, I would be annoyed too and probably not have much empathy for my boss. That said, I'm sure you're pretty annoying to other people that you have to work with, so it probably evens out. I don't know why you'd even bother to write in about this, to force yourself to have empathy? Why? I mean, the boss is kind of a walking poster child for your attitudes and approach to health. Just sit back and feel smug if that's what's coming naturally. No one is forcing you to listen to the whining or actually care.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #60)

I think that's fair. I'm not a big fan of the oh poor teachers argument, but I believe they should be paid commiserate with education and experience of their peers in the "real world". 60K actually seems pretty crappy for a PHD. I would think that an individual w/ that certification would move into administration.  (Monday Nov 16 | post #148)

I don't know how I'd feel. Depends on how I felt about my mom. Seems like the guy was forced back into a loveless marriage so the kid might have a different perspective. If the kid knew anything of the affair, they might feel guilty for being the reason his parents remained unhappily married. And being the kid of unhappily married people really sucks.  (Nov 13, 2009 | post #42)
