My fave is still Pelosi - who knew she'd turn into, well, ewww. You could say the same of Clinton. She actually looked semi-cute.

Paper is messy? I find them clean and uniform and easily accessible. That's just me though. Good luck

If you're smart, it will look just like Facebook. Within months it will be worth $200 billion but unfortunately, it will suck ass.

I've never had a diary but if I did, it would be with a pen and a notebook.

    Would you, if you had nowhere else to express yourself....go online?
What sort of person doesn't have a pen and a piece of paper but does have access to a computer and the internet?

Its easy to forget that parents are former children. Parents themselves may not have the coping mechanisms to "deal with" bullies. Parents need as much help dealing with this as their kids. How do we provide support to the parents of children that are being bullied?
No problem. This is the last I want to discuss this topic though, it is too close to home. I think we'd find that we agree more than we disagree. I wish you and your niece well.

You know what? You're right. I was writing from a position of emotion and cannot back up my claims. My apologies, this topic is very relevant to me and for reasons I'd rather not get in to. From a numbers perspective, women definitely get custody more often than men, but then I think that has a LOT to do with the fact that they actively seek it more often than men.
Women have more power in these situations than men. Period. Men tend to be guilty until proven innocent in cases involving children, while women seem to be given the benefit of the doubt. There are a lot of crappy guys out there but so too are there crappy women. Hell, there are just plain crappy people. When we can get to the point of referring to "people" and not "gender", we'll be alright imo.
