I'm confused. What's the significance of carrying the American flag in this context? Is it an Olympic honor? Also, do we usually pick the person with the most medals to do it?

if they're sensible it means looking at problems in the mouth (gum disease, tooth decay, ulcers etc) as potential indicators of greater health or dietary issues, if they're not it means scaremongering about fluoride and fillings. Guess which one she is taking her daughter to

My wife and I are about to have a baby, and one message that has been pounded into us during every class we've taken has been that Mom is always right. Health professionals tell us time and again that Mom's instincts are correct, so if you think something is dangerous then it must be.

I think the point is so Mom won't ignore warning signs in a baby, but I am absolutely sure that many people take it as Gospel that they can do no wrong.

Rental stores used to pay extra to be allowed to rent their copies. Publishers recognize that there's a market for people who just want to watch something once and don't want to actually own a copy of it so they're willing to let them rent a copy because it's a slice of the market they wouldn't get otherwise.

Yep, my friends both have tattoos and they went to hot springs when they visited Japan no problem. Everyone was staring at them but that would have happened regardless since one of them is a 6'4" ginger and he kinda stands out anyway.

They were asked to cover their tattoos with tape in a public bath though.

Let me spell it out for you, dick head. One of these people has been subject to decades of racial profiling and abuse, is blamed for terrorist acts they had nothing to do with, and is currently under threat of being deported by the leader of one of the two biggest political parties of a nation that supposedly invented modern immigration and multi cultural acceptance. They made it to the Olympics despite all this, and without white male privilege. The Olympics offers a platform upon which sits a huge middle finger to the terrible racism and political bullshit that's going on right now.

But, no it's cool, the white guy has more medals, so he should carry the flag it some poo poo.

Honestly, "help-mate" makes more sense.

It just means a helpful partner. And I can agree on that much? You're not supposed to just leave everything to your partner.

Don't know how that translates to "do all the chores, you bitch" though.

"Helpmeet" is the archaic form of "helpmate".

What happens to a person that makes them against libraries? I know the word "cartoonishly evil" gets thrown around a lot, but before the Tea Party the only people against libraries were witches in educational computer games with punny names like Miss Lexia who you defeat using your word zapper to shoot all the verbs she tosses at you or something.

As someone who works in a library, I got to say lol. First, most libraries get/pay for permission to lend out movies and other media. Most have deals with distributers and such, so yes, libraries are paying so no it isn't piracy in the least. Secondly, I always love the whole "libraries were once relevant but not anymore" because the person usually saying it assumes that everyone has the same kind of access to information that they do. Seriously, any time you hear anyone bitching about libraries and their services they are usually a FYGM idiot.
