I think it does. He left his dog in his girlfriend's care while he went to serve overseas. However you feel about the troops, he's doing something for our country and I refuse to feel ashamed for being mildly patriotic. Even if we cut the patriotism, him being overseas still has something to do with it. He left his…

It puts the frosting on its skin...

It's naive to keep having unprotected sex when you already have a bunch of kids and hope it won't result in pregnancy.

I already know that this will be a terribly unpopular question/opinion, but why have 7 children if you're that poor? Makes no sense whatsoever.

It probably just means that Ms. DiNino probably had a pre-existing condition (ie. heart condition or high blood pressure) and there were no signs of violence on her body (ie. she was lying in bed, dressed, unbloodied and apparently undisturbed). It'snot as shady as it sounds. I'm sure an autopsy will be performed as…

I just have a small sense of solace that if anyone ever videotapes me in a toilet stall, I know that I'm just wrecking the toilet with my IBS and I hope they are throughly grossed out.

This is horrible and makes me sick. BUT I don't think we should all automatically assume it's because of race.

I appreciate articles like this. Sick bastards like this get off without any real penalty as it is, so at the very least they should have social repercussions. Personally, I think they deserve to be ostracized by everyone they know for the rest of their lives. When you hurt someone else they carry it with them for the…

I think it's pretty important to link things to the article which provides objective evidence for people to look at - instead of deliberately skewing the article towards the defense and expecting comments not to lash out at it.

If the evidence is clear-cut then you should believe in your audience to see that. If it…

Not when you're already in the process of being arrested. That's kind of a crucial difference.

The photo is evidence of what she looked like after she was subdued and arrested after lunging at and elbowing the cop. The bruising to her chest could easily be from being forcibly arrested. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how a boob grab causes that kind of bruising, but I can easily see how a baton to the…

This penis looks like it caught every disease in the CDC database....

Many people with hearing impairments do not object to the term "deaf". Although the word "dumb" does have an arcane meaning of someone who cannot speak, in almost all modern contexts everyone uses the word "dumb" to mean stupid. Many people who are hearing impaired do speak and almost all communicate by some means. …

Mark, now I'm just curious here....but what kind of penises have you seen? Because none I've ever seen look like they have a giant warty growth on the end.

This makes me sad for the baggage handler. The person was not a native English speaker so most likely was completely unaware it was offensive. I can't imagine any native English speaking person using this term, so I don't think this outrage will in any way educate people on being more sensitive. All it did is probably…

When calling for someone to get the sack I think a certain amount of care should be taken with regard to general public knowledge.

I thought "dumb" in this context was an archaic term for "mute," not "stupid." I think you should treat it the way you would treat someone saying "Oriental" or "colored": politely correct them and assume that the mistake was made out of ignorance, not malice, unless you have a good reason to believe differently.

I always thought dumb was the actual term for someone who couldn't speak. Eeek.

That's right, even when someone is trying to help you; if they say something stupid, the only reasonable way to respond is by demanding their termination.

I really do not understand the point of gendered individual bathrooms. I'm a cis woman but I'm not gonna freak out if the toilet I'm using also comes with a urinal.
