Today's Human Sexuality class was a lot of things.

all of these things were accurate..
That class is ridiculous..
I LOVE READING Y’ALL’S COMMENTS ON CLASSES.
I wish I could experience a period once (or a few...
uncutting:
I guess it just stems from my undying curiosity. I’m always reading posts about the pain and unpleasantness associated with some periods, and honestly, I wish I could better envision exactly what it’s like.
To be honest, it’s wholly annoying. BUT at the same time it’s a natural cycle for my body and for that I love it.

Not surprising at all. Virginia multilaterally hates people who aren’t white, heterosexual, conservative, cisgendered, rich, fundamentalist christians.

LOL Men must understand that simply because a woman says something regarding gender that you think all the time, doesn’t mean you’re correct. Accusations of misandry are jokes at best, and used a weapon against feminists their worst. Either way, it’s...

hate-wizard asked: So, I did note at the start of the post that I am an organ donor, and I have no intention to change that. On the other hand, I posted (what I thought was, and no one has suggested otherwise) an ethical dilemna that I have been struggling with. I agree it is a slippery slope, but on the other hand we restrict the rights of those who murder humans (by imprisoning them), so why should we not do the...

kelzor replied to your post: Oh man, please don’t take one vegan’s pretentiousness and holier-than-thou-ed-ness to mean we’re all like that. I’m a vegan, and I’m constantly trying to make sure I’m not an asshole about it. I’m an organ donor and I don’t care who gets my stuff if I die. True compassion looks beyond individual life choices. Some vegans are assholes, but really, a lot of us...

On an ethical lifestyle and organ donation.
hate-wizard:
I’m an organ donor. I also am somewhere in between vegan and vegetarian. I see a contradiction in this.
This means that if I die, any of my usable organs will be harvested and transplanted into another human being, if possible. However, the odds of any of the recipients being vegan or vegetarian is very small. Somewhere around 2% of the Western world’s population is vegan with up...

Aside from the fact that there is no Polynesian language (it’s akin to asking how you say my name in African/Asian/European) I would probably name you “Overly Zealous But Not Quite Educated, Ethnic-Enthusiast White Person”

I thought this was the highland park by me for a second. The “thug day” seems like it could happen there.
I’m pretty sure “thug day” could happen anywhere in this country- since most politicians and school boards HATE poor people of color. I’m just surprised that...

Willingly segregating yourselves is like taking ten steps backwards. Apparently racism only goes one way.
I really want to hear this one.
How is having a “Black Student Center” racist?
Because it’s excluding other people based on color. Why does there have to be different institutions based on what color you are? Am...
