    You forgot to call her baby a bastard, Cary.

    It’s a shame that the LW writes for some advice about how to handle the situation and she’s called a hypocrite, dumb, without sufficient morals to retain any authority and her faith is questioned (um, that’s for no one but one’s god to question).

    How is it that Cary is on her side? He says so but then unleashes with one of the meanest responses I can ever recall reading. And his brilliant advice? Think first next time. That’s the laziest advice I’ve ever heard. It’s the Friday before Labor Day Weekend. Maybe that’s why.

    This column, both the author and the readers’ responses, has become one of the meanest places on the Web. Seriously, the tone is no different than places like The Free Republic. LW’s are just blood in the water anymore. My mistake for continuing to read here. I know it will depress me to see how callous and mean most people in the world are. Truly, makes me want to blow my brains out and the best part about it is that I won't be around to hear the cheers of strangers.
