Spill it! What is your UO for the day!
I'll start...
while I'm on the fence about recreational use of marijuana (completely ok with it's use medicinally) leaning more towards, whatever, I don't care make it legal...
I completely disagree when people say it isn't addictive. While it may not be the same type of physical addiction you see with other drugs or subtances (ie nicotine, caffeine, heroine) I hands down think it is more than possible for someone to become psychologically addicted. When I hear someone say "I can quit anytime, I just don't want to" while they lose their job, or "I can't just smoke pot once, if I do smoke I end up smoking every day, I'm not addicted, I just need it to relax" I think that is an addiction.
ETA- I also think the 'addiction rate' is definitely a bit lower than other substances... but if someone is predisposed to addiction, I wouldn't be surprised if they got addicted to pot

I agree and particularly side eye the ones with the stick figure family. I feel you're giving way too much personal information to strangers and just open yourself for potential crime

Agreed. It doesn't matter to me if the stick figures are zombies, cats, or anything else. I really don't need to know that much about you when I pass you on the highway.

But in all seriousness, even before knowing the author's back story, I guess I never took it so literal. More just that she will love him always, no matter how old, where he is, what he has going on in his life...

Yes, wasn't there a funny thing with Morgan Freeman going around on FB recently, that said something like "I hate the word 'homophobia.' You're not afraid. You're just an asshole."
In regards to having kids out of wedlock. I understand "oops" babies happen (I had sex before marriage so it could've happened to me), and I also fully agree with parents not staying together if it is an unhealthy, unhappy, and/or loveless relationship (not good for the kids or parents). Call me old school, but I don't understand why people chose to have children out of wedlock. I know there are a million situations out there that probably make sense, but I just feel like kids are much more binding then a marriage. SIL just had this conversation with her parents and I, that her and her BF would like kids soon but don't feel like marriage is important, and none of us understood her theory. I do think marriage is important. And not even for religious reasons. I just think it is an important commitment to one another. And everyone says it doesn't change a thing, but really it does. DH and I owned a house together and lived together before we were married, but our first year was actually still tough, I can't imagine having kids thrown in the mix.
Now just to clarify, I don't judge people for it, I guess I really just don't understand why marriage isn't seen as important to some people, religious or not. To each their own!
Clearly, I personally think marriage is important. But I COMPLETELY agree with your last sentence.
FTR hubs and I lived together for 4 years (and were dating for 10) before getting married. Not because marriage isn't important to us but because we both are so serious about it that we didn't want to rush into it.
