The original post in childfree contains this statement:

And as for having a baby sucking on you, I don't find it very natural. What kind of transition that must be to go from a man sucking your nipple to a baby. I couldn't do it.This made me wonder if the post was a troll post - I mean, if she said that she thought breastfeeding was gross, it'd be standard ( Read more... )

Over in good ol' booju_newju, loomissimmons asks a question regarding the fact that the history dispensed to our schoolchildren is given in a way that makes history very different than what it truly was.

Which brings me to my question: what are your thoughts on history as how it is taught in the schools in your area?

Loomis summarizes better than I could with this:

I've been absent for a bit but I checked back to see if this had been posted. If it was and I missed it, I clearly am a horrible person worthy of beatings.

ANYWHO.

A pretty routine post is made in bad_sex. Blahblah someone walked in on us blahblah boring 15 year old sex life shit. However, it was this excerpt that caught my eye ( Read more... )

Over on polyparents and polyfamilies, fine_clarity advertises a new community for polyamorous atheists, called (reasonably enough) poly_atheists. Well and good, in my opinion.

However, s/he makes the following brilliant questionable statement:

Polyamorous parents likely have an even higher proportion of atheists than polyamorists in general, because polyamorous parents are rational enough to ( Read more... )

Some spectacular wank breaks out on lj_biz when users ask why self-harming ana/mia communities are allowed to stay on LJ while their slashporn had to go.

LJ explains that pro-ana communities are about support, not harming yourself!Feast on some of the spectacular stupid in these threads ( Read more... )

Over in booju_newju, our favorite place, lizziey posts a story about two fifteen yearold girls mutilating a cat. Pretty disturbing stuff. Most agree the parents should be penalized and the girls need a lesson in what it actually is to burn an innocent animal.

All is well, people are disgusted (and rightfully so). Then sistahmoon comes along. She doesn't think it's the ( Read more... )

Contrary to popular belief, Barack Obama is, in fact, not black.

Edit: grahamrod apparently made the same post in several other communities, including here in liberal.

Also, ragnarok20 is stirring up some hot, juicy meta action in this very post over the phrase "paternal father."

monkeypussnz wants to know if since 1/3 of new mothers in New Zealand suffer from post-partum depression could this be a form of population control 'ala Anderea Yates?'Because clearly, 1/3 of the mothers in the world are killing off their babies ( Read more... )

Small stupid in ask_me_anything:

tatterdemalion links to an article about how it is disrespectful and a bit morally wrong to bring small chilren to see horror movies (Hostel 2 was the example given and the children were 1 and 4 in the example), and asks who agrees or disagrees. I agree and make a statement that, unless the child has the attention span to sit there for the hr ( Read more... )

I'm on a roll tonight.

But apparently alimony is bad for all women and makes them seem lesser. Yay for judging every situation!
