What really gets me is how Jack Nicholson has been off the hook about this since it all happened. It was in his house! As if he wasn't participating in similar activities, or at the very, very least highly aware of it and had no problem at all.

Now that I think about it, it wouldn't take all that much revision to turn 50shades into a Christian romance a la Mark Driscoll!

"Free-spirited woman" is now Christian PC for "loose woman"? Did I catch that dog whistle? Anyway, so the plot is about a free-spirited woman who decides to bind her freedom in the service of a "higher standard" — because the divine Kim Il Sung promises that in exchange for your freedom he's going to score you some

I see your point but could you tell they were women otherwise? lego minifigs are a bit lacking in secondary sexual characteristics. I think it was more a decision to make them more obviously women than anything else.

*pushes nerd glasses up* As somebody who still actively collects LEGO, I am kind of amused by all the complaints about the female hourglass curve. I've played with LEGO since I could steal my older brothers, and I was always upset that he only had "boy" minifigs, basic square guys. When my parents bought me my own

As someone who plays with a lot of legos. I can't be too outraged. I'm not sure how else you can tell them girl from the boy mini figs. Eyelashes and wigs are the other two I guess. Personally I like the "Friends" legos better anyway. I like have brown legos to play with. The yellow ones are still too "white" in my

You sound like a responsible parent. Part of the reason I've chosen not to have kids yet is that I enjoy the freedom of going where I want when I want. And speaking as a daughter, I think it's BS the mom here guilt-tripped the cops about the 8-yr-old missing the concert from the pit. I didn't go to any concerts until

I hang out with the older ex-punk crowd who still enjoy loud live music and also play in bands themselves. Now they have kids, because sometimes kids happen when you're older, and it's common to see their children with colorful ear muffs hanging around. I have known people to bring a baby into a show that can't even

Fuck her. You don't bring your 4 month old to a goddamn concert.

And get this: according to another article I read, the mom's FB page indicates she's an anti-vaxxer. So this nitwit brought her infant to a concert packed with people with zero regard for its hearing AND no qualms whatsoever about spreading or catching various pathogens amidst a tightly packed crowd of hot sweaty

Well, from her Facebook page, it also appears that this woman is against vaccinating kids, so she's probably not the brightest.

AGREED! That woman is an asshole.

I thought the cop explained it well. He said that the child was in danger. She, in turn, threw a fit and demanded that he show her where it says it's illegal to take kids to a concert. The breast feeding didn't come up until well after her first protests failed.

WE DON'T TAKE INFANTS TO AREAS WHERE MOSHING MAY BE TOTALLY PROBABLE.

A four month old baby absolutely needs ear protection. Doesn't matter what kind of concert. Nursing in public, I've got no problem with that, but without ear protection at a concert baby's hearing can be irreversibly harmed.

So being a Strength and Conditioning specialist certified through the NSCA as well as being a Certified Athletic Trainer through the NATA (they handle injuries), I will tell you that slow reps and good form are paramount to any strength training program. However, if you want to get out of the rut you are in and lift

Every personal trainer / athlete / gym rat I've ever known has said that slow reps with controlled form is the safest and most effective way to lift. Pretty diverse backgrounds with different ideas on nutrition and such but "slow reps, good form" is the one thing they all agree on. I'll go with their advice over the

The argument that religion is the differentiator between U.S.'s and the rest of the world's attitude on abortion is not supported by fact. The difference between the percentage of Americans who actually go to church is not that different from the percentage of Europeans who actually go to church. What is different
