That's pretty awful. I can't believe they only got 500 $. I thought they'd get far more.

Unnecessary

Sorry, but one other thing, your logic was... off: "Seems like a lot of guns exist, for them to be more likely to hurt." We don't only do things cause their beneficial. Or: "Seems like a lot of abstinenece only courses exist, for them to be more likely to hurt."

I didn't say AED. CPR: Source was my medic friend who had to read studies about it for her medicine studies and is now a doctor. ;p She said that people usually end up breaking more rips etc and very rarely do it anywhere near how you're supposed to do it and that overall the harm was greater if done by amateurs who…

Lemme ask a backward question: Why do school shootings, while they do happen in other countries, happen there with less frequency and when they happen why is there never a question of "yo, let's give the teachers guns too" but always "can we tighten gun laws further to prevent people who will go postal to do with a…

To be honest: Most teachers I know (mom being one) think themselves incapable of this. On first aid: Hurts often more than it helps, especially when trying to get the heart to do its thing again.

That was a great great post. Thank you.

Tracie, the bride in question is a celebrated vegan chef with several highly successful cookbooks in her name. So I'm sure of two things: a) Her guests' palates were FINE and b) this article stinks.

Where I agree with you:

I don't think we're doing a "relatively good job putting rapist [sic] behind bars". I disagree with that statement completely. That would mean a) that there is a high report rate compared to estimated rape committed b) that it is not a commonly held belief both among the general population and law enforcement that…

There is a lot of a) racism/xenophobia b) wilful ignorance re: the treatment of rape victims on our shores in the comments. Ugh.

WTF does it matter if your rape kit does not get processed like ever (backlog of 10.000s by now) and if the police accuse you of having invented it? Or if (like in Steubenville) the instagrammed pics of both your rape and one of the perpetrators urinating on your body afterwards were only taken "cause they are jealous…

The victims' genders vary to a far larger degree than the perpetrators' gender. Same for all violent crime.* I don't think we as a society can afford to ignore that. There can be several answers as to why that is (nurture, testorene, images of a man should be etc), but we need to address this.

I didn't get that. I mean you disagree with the artist how?

As far as I'm aware that gay argument was brought in only by us commenters and in the actual case it wasn't used. I doubt the all male all straight jury even got why this is wrong.

You completely ignored my points in a long and rambly fashion: You could not say with certainty. Well, others would. No, he wouldn't. a) is fine, we mutilate much more when we incarcerate (and yes, the genitals too) b) nope c) great! So all great stuff.

Not according to that recent ruling that it's legal to fire a woman cause you want to fuck her too badly... Iowa it was, if I recall correctly.

I know. :( It's oddly enough more chill in Sheikh Jarrah.

Mostly agreed.

That depends on where you want to go and how you want to travel there and on your passport and skin color. Kerala is ace. If you're White Rajasthan e.g. is ace too.
