The justice system worked in the Martin case, too- you're just angry it didn't work the way you wanted it to.

Who even approved the OP comment in the first place?

He was shot because he assaulted somebody.

Interestingly enough, the NYT's had an article in today's paper on how ridiculous buying property is in NYC right now. There is limited supply on the market (unless it's high end). Even if someone wants to put their apartment/house up for sale, it's impossible to find something else so people are staying where they…

Am I the only one that feels really old now that Elvis Presley's granddaughter is old enough to drive around in cars with Robert Pattinson?

They're all AWFUL. I can possibly understand the newlyweds asking for a receipt to exchange if the gift is actually unusable due to an allergy. His text back was basically no, and everyone should have just let it go. But apparently, no one can be a reasonable adult anymore and just walk away from assholish behavior.

To get someone to say something THAT blatant in a deposition with their lawyers present is pretty impressive. This reminds me of the end of a Few Good Men. The general manager's lawyers are Tom Cruise asking if she ordered the code red. Paula Deen is all Jack Nicholson "yes, I ordered the code red." Paula Deen's…

Wow, what an utter jerk. I'd be ticked if someone was short changing the time I paid them to walk my dog, but making them hold it all day would make me irate. Your poor dog.

Not that it's any of my business, but I am curious how you found out. When I lived in NYC, my dog walker had to sign in and out with the building so I knew when and how long they were out. In my current situation, I'm going off on how tired my dog is when I get home from work.

Your titties, let 'em out, free at last

I have an aunt like this who jumped on the "It's Merry Christmas" brigade. I make sure to send her Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays cards because I'm a jerk that way.

I know what you mean. I don't know how I feel about this either. A friend of mine who was also my college roommate had cystic fibrosis, and died while waiting for a lung transplant shortly after we graduated. I don't begrudge this girl her new chance at life, but I do begrudge changing of the system for individual…

I don't really get the collective freak out at this point either. Is it that people weren't paying attention?

If it's so overblown and ridiculous why would you like to see her fall down a flight of stair? This sentiment seems highly inconsistent. As does your insistence that you have no idea who Lindy West is except for, you know, reading her writing which you disagree with to the point that you'd like her to fall down a…

Lance Nagel doesn't strike me as a 15 year old boy. Sure, mentally and emotionally, he's straight up 12, but physically, he's an adult.

Except she was arrested and held in custody. Once in custody, she should have been read her rights and she should never have been told by the school to make a written statement without a guardian present before hand.

And yet, no one got their hand blown off. So, instead of a teaching moment for an ambitious student, she was moved to the criminal justice system.

However, the school administration had her make a written statement without the presence of a guardian knowing she was going to be arrested, a written statement that could be used against her in a court of law.

The New York times had an article about segregated proms a couple of years ago. It's an interesting piece, and one of the teens raises some really good questions for the school's administration, the white parents, as well as the white students.

More or less, but what I think is more interesting than the "emotion" aspect of his statements is the fact that men in these positions do give up their family life. And from his statements, it doesn't seem like he's admitting that to himself or he may have stated his position differently.
