If I still believed in prayer, I'd say a little prayer right now for you wife. I hope you treat her well, and don't give in to the temptation to treat her like your helpmate and servant. Even if you don't believe she's your equal, I hope you treat her with respect. Poor thing.

I like that quote too. A guy smoking dope in his basement is no more of a criminal than the same guy having a beer in his basement. Human beings will never learn. Why oh why do people shrink from the idea of legalizing pot? The substances that are already legal in our society, that we all...

Growing up, we always had a German Shepherd, because my dad loved them so much. So they're sort of still my favorites. I never thought I'd own a small breed, but I changed my mind when my daughter fell in love with Jack, who is a chihuahua/pomeranian. He's such a bold and sassy little...

We have two dogs and two cats. I love all of them like they were my kids (oh yeah, we also have two of those - human children, that is). But I prefer cats. They are low maintenance, and few of the cats I've owned over the years have been particularly aloof. Most of them have been cuddly and...

That is definitely not a dumb question. It can be very frustrating when you lose sleep because your cat is meowing at night. I know, because our Siamese mix used to be so loud at night I really though my husband would ask me to get rid of him. He not only meowed, he also scratched at all the...

It really depends on the male's personality. If he's very territorial, it might not work out having a timid female in the house with him. Or any other cat for that matter. However, male cats come with many different personality types, just like people. Some of them can be positively...

I think Simon might be a Siamese mix. He's got some domestic shorthair type stripes, but he's young, his face and feet will probably get darker with age. By the way, he's beautiful!

It really depends on the cat. I've had a male cat who was a sweetheart. I got him first, and eventually adopted two other cats, both female, and he mothered them both from day one. All three got along extremely well. I now have two cats, a male and a female, who tolerate each other, but...

I think it's strange that we talk about how humane it is to euthanize our cats and dogs, but when our grandpa begs to be put out of his misery, we could go to jail for killing him if we do.

I really don't think god gives a damn how people dress. The people who give a damn are men - because they want to be able to identify who they're dealing with, and they realize they are ridiculously easy to fool. Men don't want to come on to a good-looking chick, only to realize later that...

I think DrFate was being sarcastic. But you bring up an interesting point. What about women who get raped and get pregnant? Many people think that all pregnancies that are the result of rape should be allowed to continue. Because the "baby" is innocent, and therefore shouldn't be "murdered."

While we're at it, why not make it retroactive, and just jail all the women who have had an abortion since 1972. I'm sure those records could be obtained. And don't tell me they didn't know what they were doing. They knew.

Even when abortion was criminalized, it usually wasn't the woman, but the abortionist, who was prosecuted. People who think an embryo = a child, and abortion is murder, should logically want laws that treat women who obtain abortions like murderers. If laws like this were on the books, it...

I asked this question in another thread, but it sort of got lost. For people who believe that abortion is no different than murdering a child: do you think that women who have had abortions belong in jail? Why or why not?

Thanks for all the suggestions! Babygirl2007, I can reassure you that we spend lots of time with Jack and his sister Sasha (who is a shepherd mix and was super easy to housetrain, and who never even gets up on the furniture, let alone pees on anyone's bed). Dr. Holly, your answer makes a lot...
