It’s going exactly how it was designed.

Here’s back on the frivolous track for you to argue with me about: kombucha is nasty and I have no idea why anyone pays actual money to drink it.

- it’s pejorative

- somehow I think that as these things become more accepted, the Ironman runners take up more resources, and the schizophrenics become more and more marginalized

How are you a psychiatrist and you don’t know about obsessively working out to deal with mental illness. Do you know obsessive eating is a way to deal with mental illness?

Also nobody is pejorative about being mentally ill. Nobody said I hate mentally ill people.

But when you see anybody doing anything obsessively it because they have an underlying mental illness.

Here is something pejorative, I’m sad for your patients. But really you just prescribe meds so.

NP. You seem remarkably stupid. Yikes.

A fine example of the arrogance of ignorance.

No, it was interesting for a while. It’s not any longer.

It’s drivel, I get it’s enjoyable but so is the Internet. People use it to escape just like reading the internet.

Any argument you can make for reading non-fiction you can say the same about surfing the net.

People who get their ego from grammar and spelling are the same people that are having a heart attack reading my opinion.

Do you mean fiction?

Coherent argument is privilege. Check yours.

Te amo!

Most of the people who have bad sex after marriage were having pre-marital sex with their partners before marriage. They either accepted the bad sex, or their partners changed after marriage and kids.

I think there should be no pre-marital sex or any sexual contact before marriage with any one. In cultures where premarital sex is taboo...most people are happy to marry because they can then start having sex at last. Most of the times, the early sexual deprivation makes them very appreciative and desirous of continuing to have sex after marriages.

No sex, bad sex, mismatched libido is a problem of a permissive culture where premarital sex is accepted and encouraged. As a result, people may have slept with many people, may have had many relationships before marriage and then they continue to wonder why they fail so spectacularly in their marriage/marriages. 50% divorce rate is a symptom of this sickness.

Divorce rates are high in “permissive” countries because women don’t have to put up with violence, lack of reproductive autonomy and generalized misogyny like those “taboo” cultures. Nothing to do with premarital sex.

Elderly people (not sure which age to start) should take a refresher road test to get their DL renewed. They are a danger to themselves and others!

+1 and actually I think it should be everyone, every 10 years. So if you got your license at 16, test again at 26, 36, etc. Maybe more frequently once you're past 60.

If you fail you have to take a class, not necessarily lose your license, but at some point they start counseling you toward car-less living.

Fertility treatments shouldn’t be a thing. Not everyone was meant to have bio children.

Surrogacy is disgusting. I don't care why you need some other woman to carry your precious bio child, it's one step removed from slavery and should be outlawed.

Summer is the worst season and daylight savings time needs to end.

So is adoption ok for a couple who can't conceive? Or they're just not meant to have children so the kids should stay in an orphanage or only go to people who can conceive?
