I read the entire thing.

Although she grew up in the 1990s, Ms. Schairer’s small-town childhood had a 1950s feel. Her father drove a beer truck, her mother served as church trustee and her grandparents lived next door. She knew no one rich, no one poor and no one raising children outside of marriage. “It was just the way it was,” she said.

William Penn University, eight hours away in Iowa, offered a taste of independence and a spot on the basketball team. Her first thought when she got pregnant was “My mother’s going to kill me.” Abortion crossed her mind, but her boyfriend, an African-American student from Arkansas, said they should start a family. They agreed that marriage should wait until they could afford a big reception and a long gown.


It is a total outrage that this woman got $7,000 free money from the government, which was borrowed, to go to Disneyland.

And that was just one year.

The U.S. Navy's new class of carriers will be the first to go without urinals, a decision made in part to give the service flexibility in accommodating female sailors, the Navy says.

Another indication of the moral decay of the West. I don't know that a nation that sends women into combat on aircraft carriers deserves to win a battle. If we got into a war I'd have to carefully scrutinize the lineups before knowing who to root for. The US deserves to be reminded what is good and what is evil.

The glorious Communist Atheist Soviet Union beat the Germans, it mobilized a large number of females into the Glorious Red Army

The Glorious Catholic Pagan Niall O'Neill beat the Swiss, and he mobilized a large number of women.

 

[DroopyTofu]

So what, are urinials considered sexist now? Does it somehow disadvantage women to have urinals around? I'm not sure why getting rid of them makes it better for women.



Rant: I'm tired.

I decided to take a break from a certain site, and it appears that the members have been gossiping about me and leaving messages on my profile about certain things I only told one person about.

Huh. People can't be trusted. Who would have thought?

 

[GamezRule]

Women can certainly use the urinals if they want to!

 

[Takhisis]

CFC has been losing interest for me lately, even IOT and Mafia.

It comes and it goes, man.

And… you deserved to before the taking away of the urinals? Oookaaay…

You men, real people? Please tell me, which browser add-ons do I need to install in order to communicate with those?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Why does it seem at times Im invisible around here.

Funny.

 

[Arakhor]

Why does it seem at times Im invisible around here.

Who said that?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

No it just feels like at times nobody seems to notice if Im here or not.

 

[Takhisis]

Hmmm, because you tend to overfocus on a single thing/topic, like Tom Petty or currently Portal, and if the few people interested in that go away or lose interest or for whatever reason don't post about it you tend not to notice anything else.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well if I could get obsessed with politics that would be fun because there are a lot of places to post about that then I could get into huge arguments and then get banned multiple times. But I tried and can't do that.

 

[Takhisis]

Nothing we can do about it then.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Politics are fun to argue over (especially when people take them too seriously) but they get tiresome very fast.

 

[NickyJ]

Agreed. I tried politics, and still occasionally dabble in it; but I just got tired of the endless arguments that always end up where you started.
