    Womens health:How to cope with “that time of the month?”

    Sometimes some women suffer horribly with their periods, I'm sorry you are one of them, I used to be one too! Although it's been a long time since I've had one due to a hysterectomy I had when I was 48, I still remember my coping mechanisms and I hope at least some will help you. I used to try...

    Teens wearing thong bathing suits.

    I highly recommend you never ever go to the beach in Brazil, most Hispanic countries, or many European ones. And if you go with your men (or you are a man) be ready for the heart attack that may ensue... As for the dolls issue, that's disgusting!

    Random Thoughts

    Honey, it was a random thought, posted in the random thoughts tread. If I have to explain my random thoughts it becomes boring, but I'll try: We all have some sort of privilege, and some times our empathy is lacking because of it. So, sometimes we need to remember to not allow our privilege...

    Marriage

    I'm so sorry you went ahead and got married knowing what you know about your now husband. You made a mistake you can easily fix now. Don't wait until it's too late and more difficult to do it. You probably already know he won't change easily, this is what the rest of your life will be most...

    Marriage

    I was married with a man like that for 8 years... Please, don't lose your self for the benefit of someone else! If you feel you are so in love, seek therapy before getting married and save yourself a whole lot of headache.

    American Breakdown

    Unless you are a small company. There is this a family owned food distribution company. It started growing produce in an area where the only ones who did that job were ilegal inmigrants. As the time pass, the company started it own wholesale store and grew to 3 distribution centers and a store...

    "Concentration camps-like" migrant youth shelters in the US have taken over 10,000 children.

    Do you understand the conditions that these people are living in? Do you really believe that they one day just decided let's walk to the great usa and try our luck there? Do you know what it takes for a person to decide to uproot their life and that of their family and move them (walking) to an...

    Abortion : The Otherside of the slippery slope

    Lisa, I little empathy can go a very long way. In a perfect world, the one you probably want, abortion wouldn't be an issue since there wouldn't be any unwanted pregnancies. However, we live in this imperfect world and we need to make the best decisions we are capable of doing with the resources...

    Children as young as 4 should engage in sexual play

    WTF? We are surrounded by 3th/4rd-grade reading comprehension adults! What a fail of the education system! Did you read the actual article? It's just describing what's part of normal childhood development. And even if you want to give sexual significance to everything that has to do with the...

    "Soy Boys", "Toxic Masculinity" - what does it even mean to be a "Real Man"?

    Toxic masculinity is a husband demanding his wife to iron his clothes even when he has more free time than her (actually demanding his wife to anything is toxic masculinity); is expecting women to care for the upkeep of the house when she spends most of her wake up time working outside the home...

    The Day Fidel Castro Declared Cuba Free of Illiteracy

    What is state for you? Socialism implies that all benefit from the work of all, profit is distributed between the participants. That sounds interesting but life does not work like that. To give you an example, when your teacher tells you that test results are going to be equally distributed...

    The Day Fidel Castro Declared Cuba Free of Illiteracy

    They did a little more than that, they killed or disappear everyone that had the balls to go against them. And after 20 years of the end of the revolution, they sent here everyone that was still against them during the Mariel. More than that, I married into them. The good, the bad and the ugly...

    The Day Fidel Castro Declared Cuba Free of Illiteracy

    When insurance rates in a State go sky high for the fraud claims coming in from Cubans, and when cuban women use abortion as a birth control method, just as an example of what they do, yes, I say they lack morals. And that assurance doesn't have anything to do with the lack of morals here in the...

    The Day Fidel Castro Declared Cuba Free of Illiteracy

    I was born and raised in a Latin American country that has been at war since the Spaniards came to "conquer" us. I understand the larger scheme of Latin American history pretty well.

    The Day Fidel Castro Declared Cuba Free of Illiteracy

    I don't believe Cubans in Cuba support the regimen. Today the system has been in place for 59 years, they are used to it and have found ways to overcome most difficult situations but still they don't really suport the Castros or Che. They can't really express their opinion out of fear to be...

    The Day Fidel Castro Declared Cuba Free of Illiteracy

    I take it that you don't live in Cuba, or have close family members of friends living there. Otherwise you would know that their "gusano" family member send them money on a constant basis to help them get food, basic hygiene supplies, clothes etc. with the government taking 20% of what is send...
