Hospitals and fire stations will probably already have people who are trained to deal with distressed or injured children. Most states seem to restrict this kind of thing to babies, and that makes more sense to me. It's a different thing to abandon a child when a relationship exists, even if it's a ...

I haven't had a job for a long time, but when I did, and when I look at jobs now, I can't get any motivation to do them unless I think they are somehow worthwhile. When I think about my life in the big picture, it's not meaningful, but I can do small things that have meaning for me, and affect peopl...

I am not married to my partner, though we have been together for 14 years, and have two children. I never wanted to make that promise to always love someone. Most people here tend to get married, especially when they have kids, so I was prepared to be defiant about it. It has never been an issue, th...

I don't think that everyone who posts to Livejournal has the atitude that it's a public space, and it's open slather on anything they say.

Could be what I think of as 'backlash'. Basically, if you are coming down off an emotional high, especially if you are also tired (and I don't if any alcohol was involved, but if there was it can exacerbate it), your judgement isn't at its most reliable - so hold off on the decisons as to what sucke...

Re: Porn...and questions [Women's Views]
I know we've have a few threads on the topic, but I'm curious how the women of BD view the porn industry. Do you enjoy pornography? Are you offended by it? Does it make you feel bad about yourself if your significant other is into it? My mother is absolutely offended by the sexual objectification o...

Acting to change history should be the same as acting now. So if you are comfortable with the idea of shooting an aggressive military dictator, then it may as well be Hitler.

We spend more money on our kids than on us, especially as far as entertainment goes. We used to go to a place near us that had toys, and a little cleared area, once or twice a week.

Hygiene. This is the bigger problem. The nature of an Infantryman's life is privation. I believe the male anatomy is a bit more unforgiving than the female's when it comes to the subject of neglected hygiene. There are pharmaceutical fixes to this, but at what cost.

Choices have consequences. Making a choice is a brave thing. Letting someone else choose for you is not. Leaving the situation entirely because you don't like your alternatives doesn't improve the situation for anyone else and just serves to keep your happy ass from dealing with the consequences of...

I find avoiding the consequences of my actions to be quite in accord with my own principles. That'd be a good trick.
