What non political controversial position do you hold?

Therapy beyond a year is a scam. Therapy should be quick, focused and efficient. Here is the problem, here are the steps to correct it, here is a few months of trouble-shooting.

Preach, sister!!

I would LOVE for restaurants to be sectioned for children/no children. I have young kids and while I love them, they should absolutely not be inflicted on unsuspecting fellow diners while they're learning how to behave properly in public.

Then don’t inflict them on fellow diners. When my kids were babies we didn’t eat out much, but if they started to cry I would take them out to the car so as not to inflict them on anyone else. As babies, they had no concept of restaurants or disruptions and it was my job to take care of their needs and to respect the people around me. When they got older, while their table manners may have been lacking, they were in no way being disruptive to unsuspecting fellow diners at other tables. Granted, we weren’t eating at 5-star restaurants. The crayons and notepads I carried in my purse usually kept them quietly occupied, but if there had been any disruptive behavior, I would have immediately removed the child, so as not to inflict it on other diners.

Women under the age of 24 should be offered safe, semi-permanent BC at age 16 (IUD or Norplant, etc). Boys should be given some sort of equivalent. The minimum of age of parenthood should be 25. You need to take a 3 month training course before having the BC removed.

Care to share your well-thought-out solution? I'm sure you'd be wealthier than Elon if you ever share it with the rest of us mortals.

NP - ending corn subsidies would be a good first step.

And, you know, allowing doctors to tell patients they need to lose weight.

Also - being explicit that while everyone should be comfortable in their skin, bodies are really not intended to carry too much or too little weight. We need to be able to say this very clearly and directly.

who is stopping the doctors or you from speaking your mind?

NP - but anyone who dares say that plus-sized people are unhealthy is cancelled immediately. And that whole movement of people who wanted to be able to hand their doctors a card that said not to ask their weight?

Categorically not true. I've had many conversations with my doctor regarding my weight.

Assholes who make it their business to "preach" to overweight people when it doesn't concern them in the slightest might be canceled through. Why do you care about how much I weigh unless you're my spouse, child or doctor?

The same reason I care about smoking. Because obesity is a public health crisis that will be underwritten eventually by the taxpayer.

The taxpayer pays for your SN child from the getgo. I know someone who gets free babysitting through Medicaid for her two SN children and uses it for Christmas shopping.

Just when I thought people on this site couldn't get any more disgusting, they surprise me. So let me get this straight, she gets a subsidy for some babysitting and she chose to use that time to go buy her kids a few Christmas gifts. That is your beef in life? That is what you choose to b*tcg and moan about.

See me, a single mom who pays for everything herself because I am fortunate and able, could care less if another woman gets a well deserved break.

Especially true if your dog barks/growls/goes after other dogs or legions of small children stress your dog out making its behavior erratic and scary.

This is actually something that I learned from DCUM and have stopped taking my dog to pickup because of it. Thanks for spreading the word.

We need more emphasis on helping young adults find meaningful work, not “prestigious” or highly paid work.

A lot of modern elementary and secondary education is pointless.

College is often wasted on the young.

Feminism got some things wrong. Instead of seeking equal access to a white male paradigm, we should have pointed out how that paradigm isn't great for either men or women.

Teens learn a lot more from working at Burger King full time over the summer than they do from a resume-bolstering “internship.”

Preach!

And provide evidence of financial viability and stability. Not saying you need to be rich or even middle class. But you need a stable job and a decent apartment that you pay for yourself, and with enough of a buffer to also pay for childcare.

No, just no! Her body, her choice!

I am not suggesting it should be forced or required. I just think you are kind of a crappy, selfish mom if you don't even try.

I think anyone who stays in a shitty marriage as some kind of a martyr is not all that smart.
