Remember, all sexual positions besides missionary are illegal in Virginia.
Most holes too. It’s a wacky world.
Virginia is for (boring) lovers.
canned replied to your post: “You’re shoving ______ down my throat!”
What about cases where people are literally shoving something down someones throat. For example in porn when a guy shoves his cock literally down someones throat.
I believe in these cases we may be able to make an exception, since that is what is actually happening and so the phrase has obvious usefulness to describe the condition—thus it is not being used as a way to dodge the issue at hand. God forbid there be horses involved, though.
Left-handed and ambidextrous people are more susceptible to negative emotions, including anger. A study published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease found that the brains of lefties process emotions differently than those of righties, with more communication between the brain’s two halves. As a result, the areas that produce negative emotions experience greater activity, according to the Daily Mail.
They’re also more affected by fear, and more inhibited. Sorry, lefties.
Yeah probably true. And probably also a sensationalist headline that doesn’t actually get at anything close to the truth of the situation. Would like to see more research on this.
Can we just all agree to stop using this phrase?
After spending a lot of time on the internet, both at blogs and forums with people discussing ethical issues such as privilege, racism, veganism, human rights, animal rights, sexism, etc., I’ve come to the conclusion that a necessary thing to ensure further rational discussions on these issues is for people to stop vomiting out this pat response and start actually saying something meaningful.
See also: “Look at you on your high horse.” (dude vegans dont ride horses how you gonna insult me like that)
In every damn argument I see people get into, someone always pulls out these phrases—often within the same sentence—and the more I think about them, the more I can’t get over how meaningless and useless they are.
So please, for everyone’s sanity, stop shoving your “high horses” and “shoving down throats” down my throat…and maybe once everyone stops I’ll be able to get down off my high horse about it.
Thank you.

“The very saddest sound in all my memory was burned into my awareness at age five on my uncle’s dairy farm in Wisconsin. A cow had given birth to a beautiful male calf…On the second day after birth, my uncle took the calf from the mother and placed him in the veal pen in the barn—only ten yards away, in plain view of his mother. The mother cow could see her infant, smell him, hear him, but could not touch him, comfort him, or nurse him. The heartrending bellows that she poured forth—minute after minute, hour after hour, for five long days—were excruciating to listen to. They are the most poignant and painful auditory memories I carry in my brain.” Michael Klaper M.D.
This is nearly exactly like the story I was telling a friend last night. When I was about 9 I was visiting some family whose neighbors on the other side of the highway had a dairy farm. I woke up early one morning and stood in the front yard. Something was disturbing me, and I soon realized it was a sound coming from the big industrial building on the farm. It was this same agonizingly mournful bellowing described by Dr. Kapler, but not form just one mother cow: it was a whole chorus of them. The cries flew out of that building and cut straight through my heart.
I didn’t even know why they were crying. I didn’t know it was a dairy farm at the time so I thought it was because they were being slaughtered. That left an impression on me that eventually led to my becoming vegetarian. Then when I found out that this sound is more likely the sound of mothers crying for their babies who were stolen from them so that humans could have their milk, I went vegan. All those years, I didn’t know…but now I do and there’s no way I’m going back. Nothing is worth putting other living creatures through that, much less my taste buds.
That awful sound resonates in my heart constantly, and it gets stronger and louder every time I see milk or dairy products, see people drink it, eat it, talk about it, fetishize it, portray it as a health food…and especially when I have to serve it to people at my job.
Anatomically - not behaviourally - humans are herbivores.
