gater comments on Jun 2, 2018:

Samantha Bee's is far worse - its a scripted, edited show, TBS could have easily removed/censored it. Roseannes was an impulsive bad decision.

Wow, apologizing for racism....she took the time to type it & hit "send", ya know.......

Don't just dream it, Be it! I may have seen it a few times, say 14 or so, I may have been pretty high at the time. I don't think we are lost and in search of meaning, more likely we just want to know what's for dinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3zneu5OOKc

I'd go back to 1918 dressed as a man with the flu vaccine and several "ideas". I donate the ideas to the women's suffrage movement. Give them as much information as possible and hop back in my time machine. Wonder what would be different today if they had a flu vaccine in 1918 and if every major ...

Casual relationship

ToakReon comments on May 31, 2018:

I would call that a temporary position which will either evolve into a committed relationship or end/become un-monogamous in time. It's a 'lets give this a go and see where we wind up' position, but not stable in its current form.

TampaHeathen comments on May 24, 2018:

I would think there are several besides Atheists/Agnostics opposed to labeling the country as Christian. I am hopeful that the Supreme Court remains diligent in upholding the true intent of the 1st amendment.

AnneWimsey replies on May 28, 2018:

Again, a donation to the ACLU, et al, would be helpful as they are one of the main groups getting theses cases through the courts.

AnneWimsey replies on May 27, 2018:

@CarolinaGirl60 i have had 2 boyfriends who had to be circumsized as adults, one before i met him, one while i got to be involved. It is more commonly needed than you may think! Not only are several stitches needed, but for weeks they had to carry ice-cold spray that needed to be used immediately at the first sign of an erection or terrible damage would have resulted. And scar tissue, permanently. No doubt "primitive" people's decided to bypass all that. I am pretty sure if appendix were readily available, removing them asap would save a Bunch of suffering, even death.......
