Someone is trying to make the argument that America is the most oppressive, most genocidal, most imperialistic country ever.

I’ve always identified with the hulk. I’m an introvert, and not very good looking, so after a quiet childhood, I became the loud because I was scared guy in high school; the loud moron just after high school, and tried very hard for years to put all that bravado and automatic backlash that I’d throw at people under wraps. It worked, but it all bubbles under the surface, and it takes a lot of effort to shut up that brutish moron who’s angry at the world, lustful, greedy, and petty. He screams things at me in my head, and always threatens to come out.

So, short story - long, I enjoy most Hulk stories with a human edge. Ang Lee’s was wonderful, the tragedy, the search for balance and peace. Yes, the dogs were dumb, but the interaction between Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, and Sam Elliot were wonderful.

Controversial Facebook Photos of the Day: Air National Guard members Terran Echegoyen-McCabe and Christina Luna recently posted to Facebook several pics of themselves breastfeeding in fatigues — which they do all the time on Fairchild Airforce Base in Spokane, Washington – and their photos have prompted outcry from around the world.

No matter that there are no rules in military conduct against breastfeeding in uniform; one disparaging Facebook comment compared the images to “urinating and defecating.”

Fellow soldier Rita Trujillo commented:
“I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”
The photos were taken for the Mom2Mom Breastfeeding Support Group,which raises awareness of women’s right to breastfeed in public.

America hates mothers in a way that is so insipid, you have WOMEN disparaging other WOMEN for doing what the breast was intended to do and being active engaged mothers.

And why?

Because “I as one of many women who fought long and hard to be accepted and respected as fellow soldiers and the right to wear these uniforms feel shocked, angry at these published photos.”

This is a statement made by a woman about how women feeding their children in their work fatigues damages her status and acceptance as a female soldier. Meaning motherhood is seen as something “weak” and breastfeeding is “dirty”.

Patriarchy is a hell of a drug.

flawless commentary

i hate when people are like “only dogs can give u love and affection cats are cold and elusive” like okay dog person if you had ever actually owned a cat you would know they are the neediest fucking creatures on the planet

cats will literally sit on your head until you pay attention to them

As a dog person who’s lived with a cat person for years at a time, I have some small authority on the subject. Yes, cats are needy… but needy isn’t love and affection. It’s just need for attention. Dogs want to be with you, cats want you to pamper them. That’s the distinction we’re trying to make here.

Rape Victim Denied Emergency Contraceptives. Doctor Cites Religious Objection As Reason

abaldwin360:

Remember when doctors did what was in the best interest of the patient? Remember when refusing to provide care could get you fired or even arrested? Well, those days are coming to a close as doctors and nurses have been freed by the GOP from any ethical or moral restraints. These days, a medical practitioner can simply ignore a patient because treating them goes against their “religious beliefs.”

He drove a truck for 28 years.

The premature aging from sun damage to the left side of his face is extensive enough to warrant a feature in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Activate the Mechanism!: Anti-abortion terrorists are attacking women's health clinics that don't even perform abortions

abaldwin360:

Anti-abortion violence has been a critical part of the so-called culture wars since the 70s. And it raises profound issues that as a democratic society, built on a constitutional system and carefully constructed culture of religious pluralism, we have dealt with poorly.

I can just feel the “christian” love.

This thread was in response to a FOX TV appearance of an atheist who was arguing that if we put up a cross at Ground Zero, we should put up a religious symbol for every religion that was represented among the dead, as well as a symbol for the atheists.

but atheist aren’t hated or anything. They are just being good Christians! /rolleyes

Fuck Urban Outfitters. They’re currently selling Mitt Romney shirts now.
I haven’t shopped there in over a year. I thought it’d be difficult at first, but I’ve found better sources for clothes. You can be fashion oriented without supporting bigotry.

Canada’s teen birth and abortion rate drops by 36.9 per cent

Better access to contraception, higher quality sex education and shifting social norms have contributed to a 36.9 per cent decline in Canada’s teen birth and abortion rate between 1996 and 2006, according to a report released today by the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada.

America’s emphasis on abstinence-only sex ed “tends to result in a higher percentage of teens becoming pregnant,” as does the country’s lack of universal health care. Poverty is another factor.

Among the four countries compared for 2006, Canada boasted the lowest teen birth and abortion rate per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19 (27.9), followed by Sweden (31.4), England/Wales (60.3), and the United States (61.2).

THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT DECREASE? Goddamn. How much more proof will people need before they realize how ineffective Abstinence-Only sex education is?

It doesn’t matter how much evidence we have. Zealots will cling to their beliefs.

This reminds me of the LA high school where they cut teen pregnancies by two-thirds after putting a Planned Parenthood on campus. Sex ed works, abstinence doesn’t.
