I invented my own new kind of colander. See, what I did was, I took an ordinary colander and filled in all the holes. It took a while, but I think the result is worth it. I call it a “bowl”. ---

Who the fuck needs a bowl when they have a beautiful colander? There’s beauty in sieving, and in sieving, beauty. ---

Ah, found it. "Some ladies hear alarm bells when they hear “Africa”. then later… "Unless you’re into the peace-corps granola-crunching type, I wouldn’t say “Africa”. Obviously, YMMV. When I hear “Africa”, I hear “Nigeria, Zimbabwe, AIDS”. I do not instantly think of South Africa or Egypt, which are two countries I look forward to visiting. " Then it gets better from there. ---

Please be nice to me, like you’ve been to all the people in the various depression threads. _I just can’t help myself_, okay? Wow, classy. If you’re planning on going into the health care field, it’s always helpful if you completely discredit peoples serious medical problems. For that matter, it’s nice that your parents passed on a contempt for mental health issues - they must be some really stellar doctors. > [@alice\_in\_wonderland](#): > > Good thing **lindsay** isn’t in Canada - breast feeding is legal everywhere.

People who don’t trust their abilities more strongly believe in a safety net. It makes sense, since she’s never taken anything from anyone else, right? Well, except for all her tuition, living expenses, and car. But other than that she’s totally self sufficient. ---

[quote=“lorene, post:230, topic:576575”] Precisely. I don’t have the time or the energy to follow anybody around the boards, but lindsay and I do end up in some of the same threads like the [minirant](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13421671&postcount=394)[breastfeeding](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13422097&postcount=405) debacle in which she incorrectly went off on Lavender Blue about how breastfeeding _clearly is enough of a problem for some [states] to outrule it entirely_ (2nd cite). /QUOTE] Actually you obviously DO follow me around if you’re bringing up shit yet again, in a thread that’s turned to a fun colander vs bowl controversy. Is there absolutely no end to your idiocy? Did you ever learn what irony is, by the way? I like how you don’t quote what I say, but rather link to it and espouse your moronic opinions. I’m starting to wonder if you and **LavenderBlue** are related because it’s the second time you’ve brought something up that I’ve said to her, and we already established that **IvoryTower** started hating me when her I said something to her husband and her widdle feewings got hurted. Here I was, having what I thought to be a nice conversation with her about Passover food in another thread when in reality she just wanted me to eat shit and die. Oh well! Here’s what I said in the 2nd post, after **Lavender** brought up legality as a basis for it being a-okay: > [@Dear paper towel filler person....or non-Christmas mini-rants](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dear-paper-towel-filler-person-or-non-christmas-mini-rants/565389/405): > > First of all, bringing legality into it is hilarious and pathetic on your end. You know what’s illegal? Gay marriage. You know what else is illegal? Gay men fucking in certain states. I like how you said “almost all” states. Clearly it’s enough of a problem for some to outrule it entirely. Breastfeeding in public need not be made into a nanny-state issue, it merely should be socially shunned. ZOMG! I think breastfeeding should be socially SHUNNED! But apparently **lorene** is fine with laws against gay marriage and gay relationships - because she has TEH LAW on her side (in some states)! [Here’s an article](http://www.examiner.com/women-s-issues-in-seattle/breastfeeding-laws-can-you-be-charged-with-indecent-exposure) where Virginia law only protects the right on state owned property - not a Starbucks in the previous thread. People have been cited and fined for breastfeeding in public. Then, from the [International breastfeeding journal](http://www.internationalbreastfeedingjournal.com/content/3/1/11), “One reason that rates are so high initially and then plummet almost immediately when it comes to exclusivity and duration is because most women are not comfortable breastfeeding in public because the public is not comfortable seeing them breastfeed.” Of course then it goes on to explain how we’re all Neanderthals and should be more accepting but at the bare minimum it acknowledges that people are uncomfortable with public breastfeeding. > [@you\_with\_the\_face](#): > > My favorite **lindsay** opinion was in the online dating thread when she warned people not to say they’ve visited or want to visit Africa in their profile. Because apparently only nutcases travel to Africa, and everyone knows that. Except me, of course. Wait wait wait now…I was saying that a lot of women fear traveling to Africa. I did not say I was one of them. One of my best friends is in Mauritius as we speak, working in an AIDS clinic. But every time I’ve told another girl about my friend in Mauritius, they recoil in horror. **Meyer6** , I was an intern for Obama’s campaign. Perhaps you missed that :rolleyes:.
