corruptpolitics:
The birthers have a plan to end Barack Obama’s presidency—and in Arizona, they’re making progress.
Last week, Arizona state Rep. Judy Burges, a Republican, introduced a bill that would bar presidential candidates who do not prove they were born in the United States from appearing on the ballot…
Um… what about babies who are born outside of hospitals or even en...

3.
Many reasons and it’s mostly going to be bitch bitch bitch at this point, if you bothered clicking the link.
As can be seen from my previous posts, I -know- I have a severe disorder where I’m absolutely fucked up in the head. I didn’t recognise it until December when I saw a blog on this very website. I read up on BPD and it absolutely resonated with me and explained why the...

More bitching and some responses
Ok, so I went in to the university counseling services during their ‘emergency hours’ (which, by the way, are 11-2. I don’t know how that constitutes hours for which an emergency must be sprung…) and did the paperwork to see an emergency counselor. I understand some of the things on there, but I just had to check one of the boxes. It was kind of ridiculous. I’m not...

Family To Go To High Court To Challenge Chaplains...
helvetebrann:
An Australian family won the first round in their battle to have chaplains thrown out of the nation’s public schools.
Ron Williams journeyed from Toowoomba to Sydney yesterday for a directions hearing in his challenge and was thrilled to hear that his case could be heard in the High Court over three days in May.
“This is a very important moment,” a jubilant Mr Williams said...

Not a call I wanted this morning
Last week, I set up an appointment at the Mental Health Services on campus for tomorrow. I highly doubted that they could help me with my issue, but it made me feel better to know that I was going to get help fairly soon.
This morning, the lady I had spoken to at the front desk called to tell me that there was schedule conflicts and I would need to reschedule. However, the next appointment...

Child Kicked Out Of School For Peeing Self
In Arlington, VA, a cacophony of upper class problems as a toddler is kicked out of a competitive preschool for being unable to control her bladder. Commence proclamation making, letter writing, and yelling.
The Montessori school swears up and down that the three year old was given multiple chances to amend her offensive behavior, but ended...

Glenn Beck managed to lose roughly a million of his Fox News viewers in 2010, and his slide has continued into 2011. Beck’s viewership numbers have gotten so bad that he has been only able to top 2 million viewers three times in the month of January. Beck has seen his ratings decrease by half, and…

Now back to our regularly scheduled program that I’ve been neglecting for a greater cause.
Well, I have dated multiple people who were religious since I’ve become atheist (like…one third of my relationships), but usually they keep it to themselves or are pretty loose with their beliefs. I honestly can’t say what I will and will not do in the future, but I do know I...

I hate it when people cherrypick arguments.
It just detracts from the original statement and creates unnecessary arguments that have nothing to do with the issue. Eventually you lost sight of the big picture. I also hate having to repeat myself to people who are so closed minded.
I’m taking a step back from the entire thread on deviantArt. For real. Anyone agreeing or disagreeing can do so at their own leisure; their posts will just...

Did you know I’m a rape victim? And my rapist is walking free. I never even wanted to prosecute; I quite enjoyed the act in question. There are two reasons I bring this up - depending on who you want to include or exclude, rape statistics can say anything you want them to. (Did you know as many men are raped as women? It’s true. It just depends what questions you ask.) The...

Ok guys, my response:
I’ve actually linked to some blogs here since that’s where I get more of my information, but I’m tired and this will be my last response to the person. Is it adequate? Or should I fix it up and add more?
You said I believed in an ideal world, but look at your words. ‘If you do this, this won’t happen, if you do this, you won’t get hurt.’ To believe in...

I know, and I’m shaking with anger and anxiety over the outrage I’m feeling. It’s just as bad as the guy that’s going ‘If they were drunk, then it’s their fault.’ No matter how many links I provide to show rape is a big issue, no matter how many statistics I throw at them, these people are so closed minded that it’s not worth arguing with them...

Help me out here, folks.
I’m getting tired of this person. They honestly think that if you’re smart and responsible, you won’t be attacked. I need more proof than what I’ve already given them and I gave them a lot of information. They keep repeating the same, stupid bullshit and I’m ready to cut them off. However, I want to out with a bang. Here:
Your cutting out actions that should be...

I know, that’s exactly what I’m saying. They contradict themselves so many ways. I mean, here:

I'm getting really sick and tired...
Of these assholes that keep saying that women don’t live in fear of getting attacked and then turning back around and going ‘If a woman is responsible enough, then she won’t be attacked.’
UH, if a woman has to be responsible enough to make sure she isn’t attacked, then I think that’s living in fear. It’s undermining to women and holding them accountable...
