I have a pretty darn big vocab (plus Latin classes in my background) but I had to look up nulliparous. Never having given birth! I like learning new words. Thanks, emma's bee.

My doctor told me I didn't need an annual every year. If you aren't having new sex partners in that year, why would you?

Yeah, I think you've got it, Reverse Polarity. There's the anecdotal case plus our own personal logic: Would I be willing to have an unnecessary biopsy or x-rays if it ruled out the possibility of a problem? Of course. That doesn't mean that statistically speaking it's a good way to spend scarce resources. But most of us want more knowledge about our health rather than less, and it's hard to give that up.

I don't trust the wording of "interested in pursuing a relationship." If I were told someone met all my ideal requirements and was attached, I might very well say he interested me. That doesn't mean I'm saying I would actively pursue him in the face of a preexisting relationship.

This kid should definitely read "Youth in Revolt" once he can derive amusement from his issue.

If they can ever make vat meat tasty and somewhat sustainable, I will be one happy consumer. I love the taste of meat, and I would eat a much healthier diet if I weren't always using carbs and dairy to replace the meat I avoid on moral grounds.

OOooOOOooooh, the "you haven't seen it so you can't have an opinion" trope. Slick move!

"just pointin' out," as I pointed out in my comment, there is no evidence given anywhere that this person was officially on the clock or that the school was a public school (in fact, the existence of a "headmaster" would seem to indicate not). But whatever. Don't let reality stop you from doin' your thing.

Any small segment of a culture, I should say, unless there's a widespread group of people somewhere who gets their kicks from this eating-alive junk.

By saying "how a foreign culture prepares it's [sic] food" you seemed to be making a statement about that culture, not a few oddballs.

I'm fine with making a judgment call about any culture whose cooking methods (or animal husbandry for that matter) call for deliberate additional pain and suffering. That includes American culture.
