It's kinda funny actually; looking back to when I was 16 I was like "OMG other teenagers are so hot!" but now that I'm an adult they just look like kids to me and I have completely grown out of being interested. It's not even a morality thing (though my morals agree) that I don't want to date...

I like to look at ages on a more "general maturity" basis. Dating someone who is in the same stage of life as you is usually a good idea in my opinion. So high school kids can all date each other, ditto college students, but if you're finishing your Master's thesis while your date is planning...

I don't think they make very many "serious, realistic and non-comedic" live-action movies either, to be honest. A lot of the critically acclaimed movies like that are from before animation really took off (at least animation like Pixar, etc.) and nowadays most of the popular/blockbuster movies...

So movies should be all kind of boring and uneventful, and cast entirely with kind of ugly people with no makeup, and feature not very witty dialogue, and have no soundtracks or special effects? :p As an adult I say "no thank you!"

Did anyone say Watership Down yet? Sure it has talking animals, but that only makes it more traumatic. :p And cosign everyone who's said "basically a ton of anime" because there is some seriously dark, mature stuff out there. And not just the blood + sex kind of "mature."

If a little kid sees a naked boob they'll probably just get hungry... But yeah, I reserve the right to do my own thing when it comes to my body (eat what I like, do what I like, etc.) But if I were watching someone's kid I would try to respect their wishes about what I let the kid eat, do...

Ha ha, this reminds me of an online ad I saw one time while job hunting... They were looking for young women with any kind of martial arts experience to be in a video, in which they would be doing lots of kicking barefoot. Lot of kicking. Barefoot. And they had to have cute feet. Really really...

What, no Daddy Uchiha? Goku and Ozai at least ended up (somehow) with pretty badass kids. But all the Uchiha kids are like... like... well, let's just say that murdering the entire clan was Itachi's idea of being a real stand-up decent guy, and running off with a pedophile for three years was...

I was gonna make a "mustache ride" joke but... eh. It sort of makes itself. ;p Encouraging boys and men to work harder in school would be beneficial in general (despite the silliness of claiming men are falling behind worldwide) and discouraging the idea that good grades and decent behavior...

Yeah, stupid Obama! Because of his damn healthcare changes, my 24-year-old friend -- who suffers from random blood clots and a seizure disorder, which both require chronic medication for the rest of her life -- had to spend her last two years of job hunting fully covered by her parents'...

Ha ha, funny story, turns out we Americans are goddamn idiots. We don't even want to pay money for fire insurance ishityounot: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39516346/ns/us_news-life/t/no-pay-no-spray-firefighters-let-home-burn/#.Tm-r89RvAZI...

Wait, did you actually read the article you linked? The man didn't get kicked out of the house -- the woman asked to be rehoused herself. And it wasn't because they just had a single argument; according to the article: "Mrs Yemshaw told them he had shouted in front of their two children...

...Also probably stuff like "improved recognition of and diagnostic criteria for depression" but yeah, sitting on our collective asses and reading about miserable crap all day doesn't do anyone any favors either. :p Though I will say that, when I was untreated and depressed, I wasn't unhappy...

Yes, the Theory of Evolution is falsifiable. Welcome to the world of all science ever. However, when our main options are "evolution via natural selection explains this" or "a wizard did it!" then I'm gonna stick with the model of reality that lets us have fun stuff like cancer treatments and...

Lol, yeah, I know how that goes! I'm not saying that all that isn't often irritating -- it is -- but at least keep "depression" on the table if you don't start feeling better in a few weeks. Teenagers getting diagnosed as depressed is trendy, but it's also largely true; even though I feel...
