I have a friend who refuses to marry because he can't imagine being in love longer than a few years. But in my opinion, commitment protects the relationship, because there are always going to be moments when you can't imagine being in love, no matter how wonderful that person is. Am I right?
If one definition of insanity is repeating the same actions under the same circumstances and expecting a different result, then forgiveness does not require setting yourself up to be hurt again. So, Charlie Brown, you and Lucy can still be friends; just find someone else to hold the football.
I don't feel sorry for people past the level of grade school who are still making "That's what she said" jokes; I'm too busy feeling bad for people past the level of grade school who don't get them.
I understand the importance of films that depict the struggles of a race, such as Roots, Schindler's List, and 12 Years of Slavery.

A recent study suggests that children who are spanked develop smaller vocabularies. That was the headline. Much lower in the article, in smaller print, it's revealed that this study was non-conclusive and not absolute.

First, we had planking, then owling; in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a new Internet trend has emerged, called "mamming." The idea is that once women have done this, having a mammogram should be less frightening. After all, it's more important to be hip than to be healthy.
For the woman who has everything: to increade breast cancer awareness, a brassiere has been developed with a bluetooth chip that posts breast examination reminders on Twitter whenever the bra's clasp is undone. See? Technology can be fun!
Admit it: we all know at least one person who hasn't quite understood the concept of skinny jeans.
