Re: Who Can Explain the Attitude Toward Dogs in the U.S. Sou
Good news: I'm not talking about random eggs from a supermarket that are labeled as "free-range." I'm talking about small farms whose owners I know personally, and whose chickens I have personally seen roaming about. No big room. No cramming. No beak filing. No pecking each other. Sorry! ... |

Re: Who Can Explain the Attitude Toward Dogs in the U.S. Sou
My eggs are from cage-free chickens, Depressing news: Consumer Reports says the only requirement to label eggs as "free range" is that a door into their enclosure be open 15 minutes per day. They may be cage-free but are still crammed by the gazillion into a big room, loose. I imagine, th... |

Re: Who Can Explain the Attitude Toward Dogs in the U.S. Sou
Why? I'm serious as I ask you...why? What makes a person simply owning a gun more dangerous or more likely to hurt you? The core assumptions about the nature of the people who own a gun just boggles my mind really. By saying you are afraid of people with guns, what you've really said is you're just... |

Re: Who Can Explain the Attitude Toward Dogs in the U.S. Sou
Just a note on introducing natural predators, wolves aren't natural predators in Iowa, and they have introduced mountain lions here. You can't keep them in one section-they'll go where they please. Joe Farmers cattle and sheep maybe don't so much want a bunch of mountain lions introduced to the are... |

Re: Who Can Explain the Attitude Toward Dogs in the U.S. Sou
Ah, well. Perhaps we should reintroduce wolves and natural predators into the places that suffer from deer overpopulation. Or, sterilize some deer so there are fewer of them to hunt. http://www.humanesociety.org/news/press_releases/2011/02/maryland_humane_deer_management_sterilization_021510.html Hm... |

Re: Who Can Explain the Attitude Toward Dogs in the U.S. Sou
Isn't all hunting a form of animal abuse? Forget the dogs... what about the poor deer?

Re: Men's clothes: where do you shop when you have a bubble
Hi, Circe. My husband has the opposite problem (no butt), and hence, has very few clothes. In a past life when he worked 23-hour days and couldn't afford to take an hour to go buy a suit, but still needed to dress well, he went to tailors. The one that comes to mind is Tom James: http://www.tomjames... |

Re: What do you think of this year's Oscar nominations?

I actually like her as an actress and think she is gorgeous. However her performance in Black Swan was just average - the movie itself... |

Re: Do straight guys watch gay porn?

Re: Do straight guys watch gay porn?
Maybe your parents watch gay porn together? Or someone else is using your dad's computer? Or it's a virus? Or, he's watching gay porn by himself. Either way, I'd stay out of it.

Re: Oh dear...
I wouldn't tell her. If she's willing to eat meat in the home of someone who does not keep kosher, she is taking that risk.

Re: Breastfeeding- how long is too long?
I don't know about a 2 - 3 year old, but I find breastfeeding a 6 year old to be distasteful, frankly. I used to teach 6-year-olds who definitely regarded women's breasts in a sexual manner, and I would not want to breastfeed a child who was old enough to associate breasts with sex. I don't believe ... |

Re: To what degree do you think PSers enable?
I think there's a bit of "enabling," if you can call it that. Although, to be honest, I think of enabling as being something only very close friends and family can do. I think it's weird when someone has posted about their horrible experiences with a husband/boyfriend/whatever, only to tur... |
