The people are fantastic. I come to interact with the people. And even when I've slacked on fitness and food, the fact that I'm on every day reminds me to get my butt in gear again. And because boobs.

Tan = skin damage that increases eventual risk of skin cancer = removing chunks of skin or chemo There's nothing to be jealous of. But if you like the look you really should spray tan. Anything else is really stupid.

SEX Boobies and abs and more casual jokes about wanting to bang each other. I'm ok with that actually.

Kindly STFU. My age has nothing to do with it. And in different respects (i.e. not bearing children or starting a family) I may have a lot more life experience than you do. Just by saying the word "feminazi" you're spouting your own rhetoric. Refusing to believe that social systems play a role in how we identify ourselves…

I wasn't legitimately trying to prepare you a reading list. I really don't put that much effort into strangers on the internet. And you came off as pretty cold and rude. But that's kind of how you seem to come off in a lot of your posts. But yeah sure you can have your reasons for not wanting to give out personal…

You have access to the internet how? [/quote] Tongass National Rain Forest... Look it up! [/quote] Wow! I just looked it up! That's totally cool! Not sustainable for large populations, so not completely relevant to the argument, but that's pretty damn awesome!

You're throwing numbers at a problem that has lots of ecological, as well as political and social implications. People don't randomly stake out spaces to live. The live in cities and in communities. Also, you're talking about a lot of rain forest and other ecosystems that really shouldn't be plotted out for humanity to…

Oh. Ooops. Yeah, stop making this me/this side of the argument look bad. That's a pretty obvious issue with human rights. Every living person should be allowed to do whatever they want with their body, including their reproductive organs. And the idea that someone would be able to determine who "should" or "shouldn't have"…

Lol. No one's trying to stalk you. Self-involved much? Nothing like trying to make nice and have the other person shove it in your face to make you realize that first impressions are usually correct.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: No one said that. Seriously, no one. No one has talked about whether people need to be deemed suitable. I don't even know what you're posting for. It's completely off-topic and no one in their right mind would suggest that. It would be pretty obviously a violation of human rights.

Wow. Aren't you the environmentalist? We need plants and animals to SUSTAIN OUR LIFE. You need that oxygen that the plants in the rain forest are giving you. You need those plants for medications and goods, even if you don't give a damn about any other creatures other than humans. How short sighted that view is. And we…

OK. I'm way to tired to try to respond to all of your points, but I get them and understand them. And I understand that I have my own bias in my views on motherhood as someone who values education over procreation and saw a lot of girls in the community I worked in drop out to have kids. But yeah. I'm way too tired to…

No mention of forced sterilization or abortion. And your point is?

I simply can't see blindly following your religion as a valid argument to have children without respect and understand of the context in which you're having them. I simply can't. But um....it's not a political debate. There are NOT plenty of resources. Food you mean? Yeah. Ok. And problems with food are based on structural…

It's a very logical and rational argument. It lacks the emotional aspect of having kids but it's true. Having kids is inherently selfish and there are lots of children who need homes. And it does bother those of us who are concerned with things like overconsumption of natural resources, increasing class sizes in public…

:heart:

I think your issue with my opinion is based on something I never said. I never said that I thought all women with things relating to motherhood or being a wife had completely lost their identity. That's an extreme view. If you look back I said that it shows underlying patriarchy. The fact that women often identify with the…

I hope that you get over calling yourself chubby and eventually learn to love your body the way I have without needing to tear down other people's self-love as low self-esteem. Good luck to you.

This is a stupid argument. I understand the perspective as it's kind of a norm in our society to see science/math as harder and more important degrees than humanities/social science, but not really. It depends on aptitude. And i think the valuing of hard science over those fields may have something to do with the fact that…

Have you? I can compare being run over by a car and breaking my nose without having either of those experiences. You don't need to actively experience something to objectively compare it to other things.

Slut shaming was implied in saying that I shouldn't judge other people lest I be judged myself. While you didn't specifically call me a slut, you implied that my picture was something I needed to worry about being judged over. While I understand your point, you can't simply replace the context. The difference is that my…

I've started my drinking for the night so I'm not going to really approach the condescending "I have an education and I'm not telling" and trying to use fancy words (i.e. all the words that I used before) thrown in with a date (1990's sociology? You mean all of feminism?) to undermine my argument. BUT. Yes. That was me. I…

Good lord. You missed the point. And I'm not going to touch that you chose your pet's name as your username with a 10 foot pole. Of course you don't identify with your dog as your identity or a food product. My gawd! Some people need to take an intro to sociology class stat! Please learn how the world around you works.…

Agree to disagree. I'm not going to go into why getting a PhD is a greater achievement because I know I'll step on some feelings, especially in a mom abundant thread.

I think the point of the post was about the popularity of these usernames and the reflection it has on society. There are more ____'s mom and Mrs.____ names than names about paternal roles or roles as a husband. And yeah, you can define yourself as you like. But wouldn't UpperMiddleClassWhiteWoman say something about how I…

No. Being a good mother is honorable. Getting pregnant and having a child is easy, especial given medical advances. You really can't compare the achievement of being a PhD to being a mom. That's kind of the point of the social sciences man. To look into why we work the way we do. No one said anything about telling people…

Nickname from high school. Not my full name. But thanks for trying. Attacking on people who disagree with you...you're the cutest!

I'm with you on that one, but I'm afraid all the Jared'sMommy234's will swarm and get angry. I think maybe people have no imaginations. I hate to think that they really do need to define themselves by men. I don't really have any on my FL, but not for that reason. I think a lot of those types don't particularly flock to a…

:heart: This is pretty damn awesome! Also, you two make me d'aww like crazy! Thanks for sharing, Melissa! :flowerforyou:
