EVERYDAY I'M TUMBLIN'

Anonymous asked: Hey, are you okay?

Somewhat. I’ve been avoiding this site like the plague for the last two months for the sake of my own sanity. I did in fact try to kill myself; I didn’t succeed because my survival instinct was too strong. I’ve had thoughts about deactivating my account since I have no reason to be here anymore. The entire site wants to kill me.

Anonymous asked: Ok why are you still following all these Smerch blogs

I just left them there. I’m contemplating suicide right now, so I don’t really want to think about all this.

Anonymous asked: Just wondering- What would you do with his nuts after you cut them off?

Attempt to flush them down the toilet, I guess.

Anonymous asked: Yes, but current infant mortality rate means children who die before the age of one, so includes accidents, still births, diseases etc. I was talking about the amount of women who die in child birth as a result of complications. The 'Too Posh to Push' "movement" (as you put it) is normally only used in private birthing firms, compared to the maternity wards who do not have the time to schedule a time for the birth. Do you think Victoria Beckham would have a child on a NHS maternity ward?

I doubt it. She’s called Posh Spice for a reason.

I don’t even know if the NHS will pay for an elective c-section; will they? I know the biggest driving force behind the move away from vaginal birth in the States is higher insurance reimbursement.

Anonymous asked: You keep bringing up experiences from the US, and try and make them synonymous with the UK. US medical practices ≠ UK medical practices. Also the amount of C-sections are rising because we have found ways to make them safer, meaning less deaths as a result, even though the current deaths during child birth figure is around 1 or 2 per thousand, which happen because of complications and underlying medical problems.

I draw on what I know. As for your little statistic, it’s WAY off. The UK’s current infant mortality rate is 5.38 per 1000, while in the US it’s 7.07. And the REAL reason the c-section rate has gone up is not safety (tell that to actor Dan Green, whose wife Michal Friedman died just last year after a c-section to extract her twins) it’s convenience. Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham is on record as having scheduled the c-section births of all 4 of her children around her husband David Beckham’s soccer/football schedule, causing a subsequent boom in non-medically-necessary elective c-sections dubbed the “Too Posh to Push” movement by the media. Mothers around the world are now scheduling their children’s births for reasons of vanity or, especially in the United States where maternity leave is not legally mandated and is therefore nonexistent in most companies, around their work schedule.

Anonymous asked: You say you want to chop off his balls AND have his baby? I'm confused. Also, it it necessary for us to warn him that you're trying to bring him down? We will have to start a #BelieveInStephenMerchant campaign?

I think I’ve calmed down enough that I don’t really want to cause him any bodily harm. He should be alerted that his little PR move was somewhat offensive, though…

Anonymous asked: "I am a firm believer in punishing for wrongdoing" What the FUCK? He hasn't done anything! He probably doesn't even know about it. But even if he may have done something wrong, chopping his balls off? That's just fucking terrible. Mutilating and killing him isn't a good punishment, it's just awful. And I will say it now: if I ever hear that you HAVE hurt him in any way, you will regret it.

How could I hurt him? He lives over 5000 miles away!

Anonymous asked: out of curiosity, how old are you?

22.

Anonymous asked: Guess the kid succeeded in shocking you then! I suppose you should congratulate him on his masterful debate skills.

I was young and naïve at the time. I’ve since learned to hone my skills and maintain rationality in Internet debate. (It’s easier to hold a debate online than it is face-to-face because you can easily pull up references in another tab and then copy and paste them.)

Anonymous asked: I'm sorry for ranting about you, and I know you saw it because you follow me. But when someone threatens to kill or mutilate Steve, I get really mad. I know you were disagreeing with him, but chopping his balls off so he can't have children? Even if what you say is true, he doesn't deserve that.

Yeah, in retrospect it may have been wrong. I did and still do believe that what he did was not all rosy and the downside needed to be pointed out. I remember my own mother expressed regret about how she was treated with her two hospital experiences and all the horror stories I had read from other women about how they had been outright abused and in some cases killed. I felt I couldn’t not let this go, that the truth had to be spoken. I do know that Steve tends to be naïve at times and he sometimes does things that are downright dumb (don’t we all?) but I don’t think I’d ever have the courage to physically harm him. After all, I want to have his baby someday :P
