Original article: Gays in the age of Obama

Article obviously written by a heterosexual.

Another example of a hetero trying to tell us gays how to feel about Obama v Prop 8.

You have become a prisoner in your own house

Talk to your husband about this. If he isn't receptive or seems unfeeling, then leave.

Original article: Sympathy for Charles Graner

He can dish it out but can't take it.

I don't see what he's complaining about. This whole, "I was ordered to..." is such a cop-out. It's very Nazi-ish. He made his bed and needs to lie in it.. with the lights on.

You are acting very spoiled.

Your brother gave you room and board and just asked you to not sleep with his roommate. You did anyway. Maybe you should ask yourself what is wrong with you. Why is it that you were compelled to do the very act he asked you not to? Stop blaming him. Blame yourself. You can never go back.

Original article: I was fleeced by Madoff

You were greedy.

Now you're paying for it. I have to say I'm not too upset about this Madoff stuff that happened. Gullible + greedy is a dangerous combination.

Original article: For richer or poorer?

It's sad that you equate your man's worth to his bank account.

It's even sadder that you'll be looking down on him for the rest of his life. He doesn't deserve that.

Original article: My mom has halitosis!

Um. Tell your mom her breath stinks. Duh.

Some people have actual problems.

Karmic Retribution

This soldier's psychosis and inability to function or receive proper care is just karmic retribution for killing innocent Iraqis. It's the universe's way of evening things out.

You are being totally ridiculous.

Go to Lane Bryant or whatever. There aren't places for big guys to get cool clothes, so why get all pissy that American Apparel decided to help them out?

I guess killing innocents can cause PTSD.

Who knew?

Original article: Will I ever get over this?

There are people in the world with actual problems

You know like food, shelter, clothing, disease, abuse, neglect, etc.

There are other people in the world besides yourself. Do something good for others and stop being so selfish and whiny.

He's gone. For good. The end. Get over it.

Original article: Are pregnant women smug?

It's been done over 5,000,000,000 times

There's nothing new or interesting about it.

You work in a library. Use it!

Just say you were doing research for a novel you're writing and the research didn't leave you enough time for work. Now you have finished researching the novel and you write in your spare time. You love literature.

Then write a book on your experiences.

I'd embarrass her publicly.

As often as possible.

Saturday, August 15, 2009 09:27 AM

I'm tired of the wealthy thinking they have such terrible problems

Boo hoo! My girlfriend and I have so much money. Boo hoo, my diamond-encrusted wallet doesn't fit in my pants. Boo hoo, one of our summer cabins needs some gardening help.

Oh yeah, that's a great message (military)

Sure, you may want money for college and to escape your situation. But first you have to put your life on the line for Mainstream America.

Bah.

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 09:18 PM

Tell her it sucks

If she can't handle criticism that's her problem, not yours.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 09:43 PM

On some level you wanted the fight to happen

So own up to that fact and get on with life.

So LW thinks recovery is like being licked by kitties?

It's hard work, and your sponsor is helping you. He's not there to massage your ego, he's there to be honest and get you through this. If you didn't have a problem you wouldn't be there so let the man do his job. Also your wife needs space too. Let her have it. Sweet Jesus.

Sunday, October 11, 2009 06:40 PM

Tell her or somebody will (maybe even me!!!)

It's that simple.

Wednesday, November 11, 2009 03:50 PM

It's safest to drive with the flow of traffic

If you're slower than everyone, you're not being safe. You're being quite reckless actually.

Drive with the flow!

Original article: Everybody hates mommy

More whining!!!!

Wah! Wah! Wah!
