I love how you have the guts to share your most intimate, personal journey and you are proud of US! We are proud of you. It takes a lot to share your deepest thoughts with total strangers.

I personally think of a kid I went to high school with that was sent to a "gay boot camp" where they try to "un gay" you...and while you were talking I was thinking of him and how hard that must have been to go through. You really helped me be able to put myself in someone else's shoes.

I'm just sorry you'll have to carry your own couches and deal with Keith's phantom dick jokes from now on.

Huh. See, I've always felt that people had the right to lay down a religious rite without being protested. That is to say the best way to fight these whackholes was on first amendment grounds.

I mean, I guess we could argue this into the ground, but I was expecting more of a violent reaction from Dio's people that would put this to rest once and for all.

Actually, I wonder why they haven't been flayed by angry Marines.

Why haven't we, as a nation, beat down these people?

I know that seems wrong, but...c'mon.

No, I'm serious. C'mon.

There is some speculation that their public antics are merely a ruse in order to gain financially from the many civil suits that they file. Phelps himself is a disbarred attorney who shockingly started out as a civil rights activist. But he seemed to go off the deep end before he was disbarred back in the late 70's.

Why do the crazy people always go and kill random people? Why don't they kill Phelps or those scientologists who have tables set up on the street?

I'm a fan. If you silence the whackos, nobody knows who they are. When you let them spew their ignorance, they're easier to identify.

Is it unpopular speech or an attempt to quash someone's attempt to freely practice their religion?

I get the free speech bit. But a funeral is a religious rite.

When they protest my funeral, I will make sure there is a line of 'final expenses' to sue them for attempting to deny me my right to bear arms.

Son, I'm going to ground fully loaded.

I feel like I was making a point there and then...shut up or I will shoot you.

Lauren, thank you for your candor and sharing such intimate glimpses into your life. Rock on and much gratitude for your journey.

as for child birth, same thing. and very few women will have as many children as the average guy has been hit in the nadz in their life.

I'm of that 10% that no pain meds work for me being menstrual or the other more intense daily pain I go through. Nothing works, I'm not on pain meds at all, and it's hell. So just the other side, it doesn't work for everyone.

that is a simply rediculous argument...now it is about frequency?

and personally, (and to just be argumentative but this is a valid point) expected and forseen pain is worse than unexpected pain because you have built it up in your head for so long. That is why lamaze breathing is taught in childbirth, a lot of the pain women feel is made worse because they are so scared that they don't breathe correctly and tense up. Just like a car accident, if it is unexpected, you have way less injuries.

Is the pain with balls being kicked like a sharp sliver of pain that goes through your whole body and into your brain? or does is stay localized? I've always been curious about that because your hormones are tied so closely to your balls and I've seen blue balls make a guy go a little crazy...just wondering if being kicked does the same thing.

it causes instant anger and defensiveness. the pain stays in the pelvic area but a terrible sickness starts filling the bottom of your stomach and spreads throughout your body as you begin to sweat. any movement you make intensifies the symptoms.
it gets worse but i'm blessed that this is all i've had to experience with the nut shots i've taken.
