I really doubt this is a "one or the other" situation. You should educate BOTH sides on the matter. I do think as modern day women, however, we should be perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves, and placing ourselves in safe situations. (i.e. knowing your limit, sticking with friends or people you trust, avoid dark…

I'm genuinely surprised at the responses here. I never realized religion made it an "us vs them". I mean, its not like they choose to perform a sacrifice before every game in hopes of satisfying the God's so they may "win". I might never personally pray to god (should I ever acquire ANY type of athletic ability that earns…

Trust me, if you repress sexual instinct for too long there might be MORE women in battered shelters. So giving your money to a woman's shelter rather than giving in to sexual urges seems counter productive. To the OP, it certainly is not cheating. I think woman who consider it "cheating" have never had to face the…

I remember my mom telling me when I was younger she came home to me sitting on the floor crying and my dad watching tv. Apparently my dad's response was "I try to feed her, change her diaper, hold her, play with her, nothing works. She's crying whether I'm holding her or not, so I decided to save my ear drums tonight". I…

My boss always used to tell me that "he's the king in his relationship, but his wife is God"

welll looks as though no opinion was needed, the video was pulled

I would hardly say myth. You cannot prove a point by one study sadly( or even with multiple studies). Diet soda has been a topic of controversy for many reasons in the scientific community. For the most part, whether it's bad for you or not is undecided. One of the few things that has been decided upon is that diet soda…

I do agree with the issue with censorship. It becomes difficult to define what is wrong or right to everyone (as we see constantly occurring on this board....) However, each of those student were minors and I would think this breaks several privacy issues.. If the police cannot personally pull videos, they should be able…

:laugh: ok fair enough. Maybe it only seems "bad" if you've never had to use, and since I've never had to (thankfully), I don't see the point in it. But if there's no serious side effects, then why not.

I would certainly hope a rape victim would have immediately gone to the hospital for treatment, where she would be provided proper medical assistance. I suppose I didn't consider the condom breaking though. But I never said in my post "Don't make it available, I want all these damn 'slacker's' pregnant"... though now that…

Honestly, make plan B readily available... but make all birth control readily available. Somehow plan b reminds me of the procrastinators in highschool. You know, the one's that came in the day of and said "oh crap, I completely forgot about that project can I just hand it in later". Sure the jobs done in the end, doesn't…

Really? I agree with the first part of this, too many people say "I did ____ and lost weight therefore ____must be right" (can be replaced by the negative as well). Of course this is no way to prove something is accurate. However, just out of curiosity.... have you ever even personally researched the Law of…

I always assumed it was a cultural thing, but now that I think about it... it might have just been a family thing. My grandma pierced all of her daughters and granddaughters ears when we were babies. I've never gotten another piercing (neither has anyone else in my family). We all had a pair of gold studs, and that was…

Honestly, it disgusts me to see people having this many children. As if they have no consideration ( or perhaps realization) of the rapidly increasing population. Should she have more kids? no. Should she have had this many kids? No. Is it my decision? definitely not, so really does what i think matter? Not at all. To me,…

I wish we didn't live in a world where we obtained any sort of pleasure from food. It'd me a lot more manageable if we ate because we had to, not because we wanted to.... Though now that I'm saying that, there's likely a reason why food tastes good, probably a similar reason as to why sex feels goood..

Some good, but mostly terrible advice on here. When it comes to diet pop, try the search function. you'll be overwhelmed with a bunch of people not really coming to any agreeable conclusion. If you want to be healthy, try and cut it down as much as possible. It is a nice treat, but you shouldn't be consuming 12 a day. If…

looooooove this :heart: I have a friend who would certainly appreciate this joke, definitely passing it on! :laugh:

Who said you're "not supposed" to have cows milk? People can give you the "its not natural, we're the only species that drinks it" nonsense, but then again.. I'm pretty sure we're the only species that eats cookies, ice cream and cakes too, are you going to stop eating those for the rest of your life because you're "not…

"recovery" in terms of eating disorders is usually a lifetime battle. You don't simply "stop being anorexic", some people just deal with it better than others. As someone who struggled with an ED, I can tell you that no matter how much you fight it there's always that urge to fall back into old habits, or that genuine fear…

Really though, I rather enjoy the memes and the pics. But then again, even I don't take this board too seriously. [/quote] hahaha I'm in love :laugh: :smooched:

That was a joke.... maybe it was one of those "funnier in my head" jokes

If I could like this, I certainly would :flowerforyou:

It always disappoints me when threads about religion get derailed by people making fun of someone else's belief. We're trying to teach my younger sister that there is a difference between stating your opinion and saying something that will hurt other people's feelings. I like to remind her that "you can't make friends by…

I've never realllly heard of a scenario. But I suppose a "fresh" anorexic might be overweight ? However, long term if you remain overweight... you're likely not doing a very good job at the whole anorexia thing.

puuuuuuuurple ponies hahah, just kidding ;) I'm from McMaster, but my brother goes to Western. He absolutely adores it there! I would have gone there, if my mother didn't work at the hospital down the street... too close for my liking

ahhh, you could be the mother of my best friend. Her mother is very religious, she's been raised in the same sense (and genuinely one of the nicest girls I know), however she is atheist and hides it from her mother for fear or "rejection". She knows it would break her mothers heart to be openly atheist and that her mother…

Perhaps this goes against what I know of religious people, which is why it intrigues me. Of course, I base my view of religious people based on my grandmother and mother (who encouraged my belief in a higher power). Both were very caring, and accepting of my personal choices. They were never condemning when I told them I…

That doesn't really make sense then. Religion WAS created out of our curiosity(And I'm saying the original stems of religion, not Christianity). Of course we were naturally curious, how else would we have been able to survive for so long. But as people began to develop more intellectually rather than instinctually they…

I think this question could go several ways. In today's sense, probably not well. Only because I wonder the type of person raising a child that does NOT want them exposed to any type of religion. To me, I would think they are not very open minded and thus their children would presumably be raised in the same sense.…
