If someone 'strive's to be in a relationship, they're doing it wrong. Sometimes people see couples happy in love and think 'I want that', and they think the way to get it is to get a partner and that will make them crazy happy. But they've got it the wrong way around - you've got to find...

The problem with 'us' vs 'them' is that it imagines that 'they' fit to a specific set of requirements. For example, my mum hates feminism... but she taught me to be a feminist! What I understand to be a feminist (supporter of gender equality, someone who calls people out on words or actions that...

Just realised I've never met a blind person, only sight impaired (and they've almost all had learning difficulties so I'm afraid they were off my radar for a different reason like legal implications). I had a deaf classmate last year, though. My two cents on deaf/hearing communication - she...

Well, not my fridge, but that's why if you're serious about adopting for good then you take the kids out of the poorest countries! Easier to bring them to the less populated, better fed areas than to send the food over to them for the rest of their lives. But yeah, I certainly wouldn't say...

I don't see why it's any more wrong than non-fertile/straight couples using it, but like a few other people I'm not keen on people going out of their way to bring more kids into the world and think people should adopt if they can even if they're straight and fertile. I know a couple of people...

The story was fairly well wrapped up but there were some things that could certainly be expanded on or explored deeper. The politics and life of semi-apocolyptic societies, how they attempt to get back to normality now that the kaiju are (supposedly) gone and what happens to the jaeger program...

I don't mean fly over people's heads like there's some kind of intellectual thing they're not getting, but like there's some emotional thing that they're not getting. I thought the archetypes thing really worked with the film as it was entirely a mish-mash of influences from probably a couple...

Man, I thought it was bad in the UK because our minimum wage is lower than our living wage but I didn't realise that in the US they don't even have a minimum wage! Americans, tip those waiters! Give them all the monies! Poor buggers. Here in the UK the waiters aren't likely to starve in a...

Another vote for Crimson Typhoon for its extra arm making it interestingly differnt, also red makes everything cooler. Really hoping we get to see more of it in action in the extras on the DVD/Bluray, also Cherno Alpha, which apparently has a flamethrower we never got to actually see. (You can...

If you get off to pleasuring yourself with a dildo or fleshlight does that make you objectophilic? Or does just masturbating with your hand make you manusphilic? If you're getting off because a man's giving you a blowjob then you're probably into men, but if you're getting off just because...

Whilst biologically it makes much more sense to reproduce with someone with different genes to you, studies suggest that psychologically we're drawn to and bond easier with people who look like people that we have grown up feeling safe with and loved by. In a nutshell, many people are attracted...

I'm white and most of my partners have been mixed race - half white and half African/Arab/Asian (respectively). Not my current one, though. When my mum saw a photo of my current boyfriend she said "He's very white!" in surprise, I guess going by my usual type she'd had a different mental...

When you say you're wondering if 'most' couples are fairly equal, where are you looking to for your evidence? 'cause there's still many places in the world where wives are expected to submit to the will of their husbands, it's in their vows. And then there are many other countries/cultures...

Eeevverything is clumsier in real life than it is on screen, generally. It makes for much easier watching if they polish everything up, after all. I was watching some super old Doctor Who a few weeks ago, like, 1963 first Doctor era, and it's very noticeable that they weren't able to do...

I guess it's different from person to person, in my experience when sex starts with someone I'm not that crazy about it's mediocre and when it ends it's empty and hollow. :P But if you can handle the casual sex scene, go nuts, mate!
