SL Letter of the Day: Lick It Up.
straight guy here, but i gotta say the comments for this letter have been some of the hotter ones in a long while. must admit that i don't mind going down on my wife after i come in her. i wouldn't say it's a fetish, but i'm not gagging either (and apologies for the lack of caps. for some reason they're not working for me right now)

Republicans Regard First and Second Graders As Expendable.
sad as they may be, these occurences are revealing another flaw with the gun-nuts' position: proper gun ownership means keeping guns unloaded, locked up, and out of the prying hands of children; but conversely, what good is a gun for self defense if its unloaded and locked away? you're typical home intruder probably isn't going to let you call a timeout, while you retrieve and load your gun.
so proper self defense means you need to have your guns loaded and accessible at all times, which also means we're going to continue to have a whole lot of dead kids and moms.

The Greatest American Sniper Saw Guns in Schools As a Business Opportunity.
Yeah, there's a little too much glee in the comments for my taste. Politically, I'm on the same side of you all...but this guy was just murdered, apparently at the hand of a vet suffering from PTSD, who Kyle was trying to help. I obviously don't agree with his views, but his heart did seem to be in the right place.

SL Letter of the Day: So And So.
Also, even putting aside the whole do-you-agree-with poly issue, is this even a viable long term poly relationship? LW is lesbian. Wife only sleeps with LW. Husband shares no physical intimacy with either of them, and gets his exclusively on the outside. I guess he's the father, but he sounds more like a friend than a husband, or more likely he's happy being the heard to the wife. Anyway, it sounds like LW and wife should be a happy couple together, but wife doesn't/won't come out...so yeah, lawyer up.

You Don't Have to Be Thin to Be Healthy.
@2 is absolutely correct. BMI is like a pitcher's win-loss stat, it can be very deceptive. Just look at all those professional athletes who have bmi's that are technically off the charts, but body fat percentage in the low single digits. If you don't distinguish between muscle mass and fat, the study is sort of pointless.

The Bad Taste of Photographing and Posting Something You Are About to Eat.
@16, admittedly I hate alot of facebook culture, and this is just another symptom of that...but I guess it also just irks me from a manners perspective.
There's something wrong about repeatedly taking photos in a crowded restaurant (I was at a place over the weekend where all four people at a table had cameras aimed at their food). Plus, the photo shoots always seemed to be followed by an annoyingly loud conversation where the amateur photographer/blogger/food critic enlightens us with his/her opinions. It's fucking annoying. Put away your phones, cameras, etc., and just eat your fucking meal and talk to the people around you.
Although take my opinion with a grain of salt. I've got a good deal of old fogey in me, and I also think it's rude to wear a hat at the dinner table.

Sad about this. One of my once (maybe twice) a year guilty pleasures is a fried Twinkie. I hate all of that state- fair-street-fest novelty fried stuff....but the fried Twinkie really is transcendent.
Frying it gives it that nice crispy exterior, and the oil transforms the otherwise artificial mass into a super warm and rich sponge cake. Throw on a little carmel sauce, and you've got some artery clogging perfection there.

The Women in Gen. Petraeus' Life.
@34, look, I feel uncomfortable criticizing other people's looks (lord knows I don't have a lot to brag about)...and maybe I shouldn't have said what I said. Also, criticizing a woman's looks gets into some especially dicey territory. I don't want to get into the paternalistic/chauvinistic zone; and I do think the duty of appearance flows both ways. I guess I'll leave it at that.

Jesus, I think a lot of the posters here are being dishonest (or at least dishonest with themselves). Arguably it was crass to make the post, but a lot of us were thinking it (I know I was). And for all the "enlightenment" Dan Savage has brought to these pages, you'd think some of it would surface in these comments. I'm not saying the cheating was justified, but at least lets ask some questions before throwing the guy off a cliff.
What if she stopped giving him blowjobs 10 years ago? What if she constantly refuses sex, and refuses to talk about the problem? And yes, what if she let her looks completely go? As for that last one, I'm not saying we all have a duty to look like porn stars, but you should want to keep up appearances for your significant other....and she looks like she just doesn't give a shit anymore.
Or maybe she was awesome and he was just a huge dick...but again, let's not jump to conclusions.
