That's true certainly, which is why we should legalize it.
I'm sorry, but could you point out to me, in the article, where it says Food Label Inspectors aren't going to be doing their job anymore, and that the whole thing will fall on Canadians...
That is certainly true for acute illnesses. The problem is when doctors toss these symptom-killers at chonic illnesses like diabetes, depression, autoimmune diseases, etc without even bothering to di...
This falls in line with the way many conservatives think; that only you, the citizen, are to be trusted with any important task and that the government is never to be trusted. These same conservative...
It's easy to create an uproar over an issue as fraught and taboo as sex. It's far more difficult to examine the way in which workers in all industries are treated and work towards making al...
I'm glad they found it early. Fuck cancer indeed. Only fancy dressed-up taxidermied animals can truly express how shitty cancer is. Kick that cancer's ass. Sicne you're going to be eat...
There's a lot I don't understand about the food inspection labeling issue, but then again no one understands anythign Harper does anymore. I have an anaphylactic allergy to tree nuts, does ...
@Camw – You're ignoring the broader context. Being a housewife isn't as simple as just folding laundry. It also carries the weight of hundreds of years of patriarchy behind it, and th...
Legalizing it will make it safer, but not necessarily safe. Heina's point is that many legal workplaces can still be dangerous, humiliating, and degrading.
Why are we all assuming that sex workers are, by default, female? Or that sex work is, by default, "degrading to women"? Bringing up that the average sex worker starts at 14 is just s...
I tell my friend's little girl that she's pretty. And I tell her she's clever. And I tell her she's fun to be with. And I tell her she's strong. And I tell her she's a g...
My mom (and others) told me I was pretty (still do). Usually she said it when she was doing something that related to my looks, like brushing my hair or talking about clothes. It was just...
Thank you for posting this info. I thought something seemed fishy, but was thinking it was some sort of "performance art" stunt. Or maybe some mrm's trying to stir up ...
I generally try to avoid giving my children (daugher and son) compliments based on things that they haven't worked to acheive. So I don't call them pretty or smart. Because at the end of th...
Women's reproductive health is a great science topic and a great skeptical topic, since there are plenty of highly-motivated cranks out there opposed to it. "Secularprolife," huh...
Also, there's an excellent short story by Ted Chiang called "Liking What You See: A Documentary" that has a lot to say on this subject, for anyone who cares. You can read it here: ...
I know I'm late to the game and this is a sort of unpopular opinion, but I vote for not emphasizing prettiness, and focusing on good character qualities and intelligence. I grew up with parents ...
That was amazing and inspiring and it made me feel all "fuckyeah!!!" and I'm crying, too. Thank you, Victor, for your words and your heart. *mwah*
I definitely think that boys feel pressure as far as looks go – especially when it comes to things like height and physical fitness. But I do think the problem is exacerbated when it comes to g...
Compliment her as you would compliment any adult you know regardless of gender. If she looks like she took time with her appearance, notice. If you like what she did to her hair, nothing ...
Funny that it is “RW”… … Anyway, this is pretty much what one should expect. The “skeptics community” in the form of CFI and similar groups is trying very hard to ...
Natalie, I think you provided a very careful analysis. One angle which might have also been worth injecting is the “Charitable Organization” status of CFI. Under Canadian tax law, chariti...
AWWW! I didn’t get a chance to call him a fuckwit again and have him whine about it for a week.
Its a fair criticism, I guess. I know his stuff comes off that way. I think that he goes about what he does with a very insular attitude, assuming that everyone knows what he means because they know ...
I always think it is weird when people get into it with me and carry it with them… maybe because I’m shallow, maybe because I’ve been arguing online since 1992, or maybe just becaus...
P.P.S. But since it’s subjective, I can’t unilaterally say something like “Kevin Smith is a transphobe!”. All I can say is a dislike him, and I find his work to be problematic...
P.S. I hate to say it, but I *really* hate Kevin Smith. I think his “offensive” comedy, unlike Louis C.K.’s, just comes across as crass, insensitive, immature, sophomoric, and demon...
I think you’re 1000% right. Maybe 5000% even. I’m even going to leave of the “you’re right, but…” part, because I agree with you so much.
If you like those, you should listen to Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, which is a huge behind-the-scenes look at the funny.
I think one of the disagreements I have with people fairly regularly, regarding intent, involves the fact that I don’t see intent as having a privileged position in the overall equation of mean...
