Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So, um, we could make wars to send the young men off to so that the old men can get into heaven, bowm chikka bowm bowm?

Yeah. Wrod on the wrongness.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"If you have a son or daughter in your home, and their behavior got worse and worse and they defied you, wouldn't you want them to leave?"

Um... no? I mean, nice try, mister, I get that you're trying to say all these teenage boys were frightful delinquents who couldn't be helped, but you fail.

ETA: It's not that anything would make his take more convincing, but do they think no one's noticed that it's just the boys?

Well, they probably thought it would play better in Peoria than "If you have a son or daughter in your home, and their behavior got worse and worse and they defied you, and they'd finally sprouted boobs wouldn't you want them to marry one of your eighty-six uncles?"

Touch, Miz Trudy, a veritable touch.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You know, depending on the laws in AZ and UT, they can probably go after the fathers for child support.

In some polygamous communities, the mothers don't say who the father is just for that reason. It helps with the welfare system, too.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

the court can compel a paternity test, but not without the mother starting the proceedings.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm a teensy bit surprised that no one's recruiting these Lost Boys to fill the Army's monthly quotas Synergy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have a pharmacological type question. At some point in the not to distant future, I am going to run out of my Claratin D 12 hour, but I still have a buttload of just plan Claratin, 24 hour I'd like to use up. Is it safe to use it with an OTC decongestant when one is needed?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

God, that's just awful. So cruel. If that's what they do to their boys, their babies, who commit such heinous sins as wearing T-shirts and owning CDs, I can't even imagine what it must be like for the (no doubt deeply closeted) gay teens there.

Gah. I'm gonna be kept up tonight, just thinking about 17-year-old boys sitting in the social workers' offices, weeping because they miss their moms.

And I'm still wondering and worrying about the poor kid whose parents have had him committed to a reeducation camp. Any updates on him, or on the school's reaction to protestors showing up?
