oh xsboy’s frame of reference is his teammates, he’s not opining on their fan-dom as a whole. certainly you can understand if you have friends/acquaintances who are obnox about their team and then they end up losing you feel the slightest frisson of satisfaction ::cough::soother::cough::: ; )

Because you know they would be so over the top obnoxious if their team won? Yes, I have OSU fans in my circle and you know how bad they can be.

If a remora should happen to latch onto a nursing mom from Toad Suck, Arkansas who happens to be tossing down brewskis then she could find herself in trouble with the law.

as the comments said, beer is supposed to assist the let-down reflex for breastfeeding. I don’t like beer and never drink it, but this seems a tad over the top as far as arresting her.

But how would that amount of alcohol affect an infant?

seriously. how STUPID can women be? acting like self defense is an OUTRAGEOUS idea. how ICKY. OMG I want to disassociate myself from womenkind. I have never liked women much, and every day goes by I find less reason to like them.

I saw the “icky” tweet on Twitchy yesterday.

Never should have given them the vote.

Why not? Everything you consume works it way into the milk? Caffeine, onions, spicy foods - many women have to cut those things out because they upset the baby

It is more of the idiotic idea that you can’t use a gun for self defense - liberals and idiot women want to control everyone else rather than take any responsibility for their own safety or well being

no, I understand that is the upshot, but the flat out saying DON’T protect yourself, TEACH men how not to rape, is just LUDICROUS! what % of men rape? I don’t know stats but I really sincerely doubt that it is a high %.

I don’t know, maybe there is some diminution of alcohol content that happens during the process of turning it into milk in the body? doesn’t the alcohol content diminish/disappear when you use it to cook? heating it?

Rape has been dumbed down, like the definition of “disabled” has been. Feminists now call an unwanted “glance” rape.....so their stats of how often women are raped has gone way up! There is even an article I saw on line recently linking the new Angelina Jolie movie to rape.... something about how she wakes up in the forest after being given a potion by a man - she is different now, evil.... so she was raped by him. I’m not kidding

After watching some of the “on the street” interviews by various tv hosts, I sometimes think you should take a test before being allowed to vote.
