Maybe I'm being dense, but I don't see how having a list of couples would make it easier to enforce the rules. Wouldn't it be sufficient for the teachers and principal to use their eyes, and if they see kids making out, reprimand them? Why is the list needed? Do they have a list of best friends...

You've read my mind; I was about to say the same thing. I work as a waitress, and after working a 14 hour double shift, I'm sorry, but I'm taking the elevator. Not because I'm selfish or lazy, but because darnit, my feet and knees HURT!

The divorce has been granted. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jgV6-R80B4lnQEWi3llZ9Y5s4PRg "'I am happy that I am divorced now. I will be able to go back to school,' Nojud Mohammed Ali said, after a public hearing in Sanaa's court of first instance." "Nojud said she would now go to...

When I was growing up, my dad was "in the home" physically (when he wasn't working, and he worked a LOT), but definitely not emotionally. He was never physically abusive, but he's basically a terrible human being. What effect did it have on me? At the time, it sucked and I hated him. Now I've...

I've got you all beat! My partner is 23 years older than me:)

Yes, I'm one of them. I didn't know I had HPV until I had an abnormal pap smear that showed precancerous cells. I was 19 and had slept with a grand total of 3 people; I wasn't some kind of "promiscuous" person. (I'm not even going to start with the problems of using that kind of language.) I had...

Allhart, have you ever been a sex worker?

Unfortunately, that's not quite accurate, but I do get what you're saying. The legal and/or blood relatives of a person who is in the hospital have the last say in who gets to visit that person. (Of course, this is assuming that the sick person can't speak for him/herself.) So, for example, if...

That's ridiculous. Suspending him probably caused more "distraction" than the haircut did. Strange side-note: in the 1960s, when he was in high school, my uncle was suspended from school for combing his hair down in front in imitation of the Beatles.

I saw it too! It didn't look red from where we were, but it was so cool.

No, actually, the rules are not very different. Maybe you're thinking of hockey? For example, in hockey, women aren't allowed to check but men are. In any case, if she knew the rules of the game she was calling and was competant, she should have been allowed to call it.

Is there a way for you to send him a discreet, anonymous note? That's what I would do- it would avoid embarassing him publicly and would be less awkward for both of you.

Ah yes, "The only moral abortion is my abortion" line.

I'm very sorry for your sister's troubles, both of them. The fact that your one sister suffers from depression and has also had an abortion doesn't mean that the abortion caused the depression, though. Correllation doesn't equal causation. I've never had an abortion and I've had depression since...

I think almost everything that humans do is somewhat self-centered. I'm just riffing here, but these are some of the reasons I can think of that people have children: 1) Wanting to "pass on" one's name/genes/family legacy/whatever. 2) Biological clock starts ticking. 3) Feeling it's one's duty...

I assume you're talking about sexual behaviour here. Well, I try my best to take responsibility for my actions. I know it's hard to admit when one has made a mistake, but I try to do so. Of course, I'm not perfect! When it comes to being sexually responsible, if you must know, I take the Pill...

Slavery like forcing someone to give birth against their will?

If someone, or a potential someone, is going to kill one, does one not have the right to defend oneself? I guess I love myself enough not to want to suffer emotional and physical harm.

Look at it this way for just a moment. Let's say someone breaks into your house. They won't leave. In fact, they physically attach to your body, and no one will help you remove them. You have to feed them, house them, keep them healthy, even though they're not welcome. No smoking, drinking...

I'm still not sure I'm following you. Are you talking about my relationship with my partner? Because no, that's not a religion, it's a love and a friendship. If I woke up and just didn't show up for work, that would hurt my coworkers and customers. So no, I don't think that would be the right...
