        A rare area where we disagree. It's one of my favorite side dishes and I eat it many times a week. So much cheesy goodness! -- nm - Krusty Apr 21, 12:52
        
        That store bought stuff, in a box, yeah is pretty bad. My homemade with bacon - amoxy Apr 21, 12:25 1

        god you're worse than Spawn. You probably have all your food on separate plates. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 12:25 6
        
        It's pretty bad. - David Apr 21, 12:28
        
        Like: Spaghetti on one plate, the sauce on the other, meatballs on the 3rd and parm cheese on the last plate? -- nm - amoxy Apr 21, 12:27 4

WOO HOO!!! Not 1 but 2 police standoffs in North County right now (yep, including 1 in Ferguson). - Jim Apr 21, 12:04 20

        I obviously don't agree with the stereotyping/typecasting, but I do have to say, I love this phrase. -- nm - MDH Apr 21, 12:30
        
        No, it's cool. We're flyover country so obviously we're nothing but racist rednecks. -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 12:18 8
        
        If the hood fits -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 21, 12:19 6

        Ok, now you're punking me, right? -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:52
        
        Man, I really wish I could be as smrt as you are. Maybe someday. -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 12:20 1
        
        Obviously, that will never happen. Everyone knows SO much about what's going on here. - Jim Apr 21, 12:25
        
        This. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:19
        
        That's nice. Thank you for your reply. -- nm - Jim Apr 21, 12:17 2

- Ya gotta spend money to make money. -- nm - Max Apr 21, 12:06 2

    - tax return? -- nm - Max Apr 21, 12:09

      - If only she'd shaved *her* head. -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 12:14
- have you tried NOT spending money? Sometimes that works... - Beaker Apr 21, 11:34 16
  - alternatively, have you tried increasing your budget to match your money spent? -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 11:47 1
    - he's not the Govt! -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 11:48
  - I just balanced my budget for the month. ouch. house deposit plus inspections plus ann here = ouuuuuch. -- nm - amanda Apr 21, 11:43 13
    - it's all Ann's fault!! -- nm - decline Apr 21, 11:46 8
      - may I bitch? she sent me grocery shopping for her visit. I bought what I was told. - amanda Apr 21, 11:55 7
        
        you should leave her some Blue Bell ice cream. -- nm - Remlik Apr 21, 12:17 1
        
        Jesus, Dexter -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 21, 12:43
        
        you should have packaged it all up and shipped it to her by regular mail -- nm - decline Apr 21, 12:07
        
        that is kind of odd - are not really for Ann? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 21, 12:06
        
        This is mind boggling. You specific shopped for a visitor. If I visit people and stay at their place, I bring groceries - CQ Apr 21, 12:04 1
        
        Yup, when I go to visit daughter our first stop is at the market for 'real' food and then - Meg Apr 21, 12:09

ST Poll: Should the government be willing to recognize more than two parents for a child? - ty97 Apr 21, 11:24 37
- In ye olde daze, the concept of godparents was a real thing, if the adults of one family got killed off (plague, vendetta) it was already arranged - zeitgeist Apr 21, 12:18
- No. "Parents" as a legal concept is about legal liability for the child and inheritance. It's not about who the child loves or who loves the child. - landbeck Apr 21, 11:53 1
  - I agree, but I think there's a difference between "parents" and "parental rights." - ReluctantCynic Apr 21, 11:59
- I think I'd rather see a birth record indicate known biological parents (amendable later) and maybe then list legally authorized guardians. - Max Apr 21, 11:50 5
  - So the equivalent of civil unions? - ty97 Apr 21, 11:53 3
    - I think if people are choosing to have arrangements where more than 2 people are viewed as parents, then it is on them to see that - TWuG Apr 21, 12:21 1
      - In this case only people of financial means would be able to achieve it. -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 12:48
    - I only had half an ear on the NPR story yesterday so I don't understand what the problem is. -- nm - Max Apr 21, 11:54
  - The trickier question to me is how you identify a rapist on the certificate. Father? Certainly the current laws should be changed to eliminate their - Max Apr 21, 11:52
- The government already does. Well, at least a number of state governments do. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 21, 11:49 2
  - I didn't realize any states allowed yet. - ty97 Apr 21, 11:51 1
    - Family law is pretty much entirely left up to the states, not the federal government. - ReluctantCynic Apr 21, 11:54
- That's making things way to complicated and complex for a child. All children should be removed from their parents at birth and placed under the care - decline Apr 21, 11:43
- per yesterday's non-onion news, this is irrelevant since same sex marriage causes abortion. that child will never be born. - amanda Apr 21, 11:41
- What's the current rule on surrogates who carry but don't share DNA with the child? -- nm - Max Apr 21, 11:38 1
  - Varies by state. -- nm - ty97 Apr 21, 11:40
- I think the government should recognize biological parentage and any other guardians those parents choose to appoint. - TWuG Apr 21, 11:36
- Why do they need to? If (man/woman) parents divorce and both get remarried, are all four recognized as parents for the child? - JaxSean Apr 21, 11:36 7
  - Assume cases where more than 2 people agree that they want to be parents to a child together - ty97 Apr 21, 11:40 5
    - But they could be if expressly named in a legal document as a guardian, such as a will, correct? (Currently) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 11:43
    - Can two or three parents later decide to form an alliance and vote the remaining parent off the rights list? -- nm - Max Apr 21, 11:42 3
      - not if the remaining parent has an immunity doll -- nm - decline Apr 21, 11:44
      - Any law allowing multiple parents would have to define how a party's parentage rights can be terminated - ty97 Apr 21, 11:43 1
        
        Thunderdome! -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 11:44
  - i think it totally depends. i bet there are lots of families that consider that their child has more than two parents, and that they should all have - Andie Apr 21, 11:37
- What is the difference between recognizing parents vs guardians? -- nm - Max Apr 21, 11:34 4
  - I think this is my question. Parent seems to signify biological, Guardian would seem to signify legality. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 11:44 3
    - Parent isn't necessarily biological though. Think of infertile or gay couples that have a child via a surrogate. - ty97 Apr 21, 11:48 2
      - Obviously from a genetic standpoint, yes, each person has two biological parents. But those don't have to be the legal parents. - ty97 Apr 21, 11:50 1
        
        IANAL, but I think it comes down to making the idea of "parents" having the same rights as "guardians." - JaxSean Apr 21, 12:04
- I see the same arguments against as what were developed against gay marriage - Beaker Apr 21, 11:32 1
  - (I can also see some cult grasping onto this and making headlines right quick too, so there is definitely a risk) -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 11:32
- I feel like it's something I've never thought about, so I guess I'd need pros and cons -- nm - Guigue Apr 21, 11:31 1
  - It takes a village, Guigue. -- nm - Ultron Apr 21, 11:36
- So, what laws would need to be changed? Besides what forms look like and stuff like that -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 11:31 1

Valiant Entertainment announces 5-picture deal with Sony Pictures to bring Bloodshot, Harbinger, and Harbinger Wars to the big screen starting in 2017 -- (link) - Remlik Apr 21, 11:20 3
