As a European citizen, I'm happy that my tax money is going toward things like education and healthcare for everyone. I'd rather pay more so that some poor kid can go to university or that a single mother of 4 won't have to worry much about doctor's bills. These programs give people opportunities and support that they wouldn't have had otherwise, and I think that many Americans would agree with me that the benefits outweigh the costs.

Mine was not planned so I was trying to write a bloody dissertation and do lab work while 8-9 months so I know all about trouble. But I love the little bugger.

I gotta say, when I was pregnant I was really hoping for a girl. But now that I have a son I really can't imagine having a girl. So you may be surprised how much changes. Anyway congrats :)

In order to be diagnosed with a mental disorder, it has to be a disorder. It has to reach a certain threshold where it becomes difficult for the patient to function normally. We all get depressed sometimes, especially after certain triggering events, but it can't be diagnosed as depression unless certain conditions are met. So you may have some of the symptoms of depression, but you can't be considered "depressed" until you meet the base-level conditions that are typically universally applicable.

Called mine "the tumor" literally up until he was born. That definitely earned me a lot of funny looks in public.

Yo, there's a lot more to leaving an abusive relationship than cleverness. Most abusers make it incredibly difficult to leave, using fear and financial dependency to keep their victims close. Don't shit on people for not being able to leave abusive situations.

What's bad about socialism? My husband got his PhD for free, and my first was affordable on an average salary. Anyone who wants to pursue an education should be able to without either saving for years or being put in ridiculous debt. I don't know why socialism is such a dirty word for so many people.

Some artists specialise in tattooing scars so ask around and I'm sure you'll find someone in your area. Good luck!

I don't mind at all! I have a phoenix on the left side of my ribs which took 4 sessions and hurt like a bitch. On the right side I have a dragon, and I recently got Thor's hammer on my right wrist. My first tattoo was a fob watch with space pouring out of it, an idea I got from Doctor Who which was my favourite program as a child.

I've heard that back-of-hand and top-of-foot actually hurt the worst. From my experience, my rib tattoos hurt much more than my wrist ones.

You're right. You caught me. My whole argument is invalid. Congrats. I'll revise my statement: Although it's difficult to pinpoint any one majority on a website as diverse as tumblr, from my observations I'd say that the majority of tumblr users are reasonable people, and the feminazi SJWs are a loud but small percentage of tumblr's overall population.

Tumblr is so diverse, nothing is a majority. If you want to see SJW posts, you'll find them. If you want to follow white supremacists, there's plenty of those too. Even on this post a SJW tried to take it over and a reasonable person completely shut them down. I'd say the majority of tumblr is reasonable people.

You can't just look at someone and determine their chromosomes. And differentiating between a "real" man and not a real man sounds an awful lot like the people who say "You're not a real woman unless you've had children." If you're a woman and you exist, you're a real woman. If you're a man and you exist, you're a real man.

Again, the Y chromosome doesn't have to be present for someone to be a man.

Sorry to tell you that there are men that don't have penises and that doesn't make them any less real or valid than those that do.
