Pick up a remedial psychology textbook and then come back, little guest.

Guest is right. These choices don't affect anyone, because all human beings are completely isolated from each other, and one person's choices don't have any impact whatsoever on anyone around them. Studies even show that abortion has no significant effect on the life of the baby.
(Yes, this is dry sarcasm, if you're still wondering).

Call me crazy, but in my mind a woman, no matter how smart and experienced and no matter how well she takes charge, is going to have a really hard time being the "MAN of the house."

No, the background chanting, at least, is Zulu. "Ingonyama" is Zulu for lion. The Swahili word would be simba

If only we lived in a world where such anecdotes were actually a viable basis for statements of fact.
We're not born with racism, but we sure as heck aren't born without it either. We aren't born with much of anything at all.
In fact, babies (generally) are comfortable around things that they've learned to be comfortable around. It is perfectly likely that a baby will be uncomfortable around someone who looks different than their parents do. It's just how the brain develops.
On the other hand, it could also be argued (and I know how bad this is going to sound) that babies actually aren't smart enough to be racist. They haven't matured enough to make associations and stereotypes odd their own.

Gotta include a picture of Knysna! Lived there for six months, and was blown away by the view of the lagoon every single day. Arguably the best six months of my life.

And the people in the back aren't being themselves or accepting who they are?
You lost me.
The case isn't closed until we accept this as a value judgment that is predetermined by our preexisting bias.
My preexisting bias says that making a face like you're an arrogant jackass is no proof that you're "a bigger person."
And if previous comments about him making fun of Christianity are true, then I hardly see much of a difference between he and them.

I didn't say they were more important. But if we don't have our posterity, what do we have? Nothing. We'll live for a few decades, then we'll die and have left the world no better (and probably worse).
You can tell a lot about society by the way it treats its most vulnerable members. So by all means, let's go ahead and kill off those who have no way to defend themselves. It'll make us all better off, right?

Ah. Guess I wasn't aware that apathy and egocentrism is what makes one superior. I'll have to pass on that.

Proves he is a bigger person by... doing what, exactly? Taking a selfie of himself looking smug and arrogant?
I can do that too.

So if the people living now are more important than the people who haven't been born yet, then we should feel free to trash the planet, get into ridiculous amounts of debt, and all other kinds of selfish behavior. Let's throw abortion in there too.

Or maybe it's not a problem with the first person. Maybe it's a problem with you. And you'll end up cheating on that second one as well.

Not saying that the school system is wonderful, but that last line isn't true. Having crappy teachers isn't exactly the same as having a corrupt school system.
If anything, perhaps paying teachers higher salaries would help attract better teachers. As it is, when you pay a lousy wage you shouldn't be surprised to get lousy employees.

I work at a to prep company, and someone I helped once faced $16K in debt to the IRS because of the ACA. She only made about $20K that year :/
I'm not opposed to the principle of healthcare, but it has to be done right.

And it doesn't take five years to know someone. People aren't that complicated. If you date someone seriously for four or five months, I see no reason why you shouldn't know enough about them to decide whether or not you want to marry them.
