The SAME thing happened to me when I was a kid! It's one of my few memories from when I was a little, little kid. No one helped me but I somehow got myself flipped back around. I still remember how scary it was.

I read the (super long) reply he penned and from what he said, unless he is totally lying, he didn't actually hurt an ecologically sensitive area at all. It sounds like a lot of the original articles didn't bother fact checking and made a lot of erroneous assumptions. From what he is saying, they rented the…

I don't know. This seems like a pretty innocent, and joyful, way to spend a bunch of money. It's going right back into the economy. I'm more frustrated at people who hoard all their billions of dollars while still doing everything they can to make themselves more at the cost of basic rights for their workers. If you…

The system might have failed Michael, but not in the way his mother thinks. It has failed him because he clearly needs psychiatric help and has failed to get it. It has not "failed" him by protecting Leslie from his persistent, scary advances. He should be kept away from her, forcefully if necessary, until such a time…

Sadly, far too many people.

I get SO frustrated that people defend him. I don't CARE how talented he is. He raped a kid!! He could cure cancer, and that would still make him a horrible person. Just a horrible talented person. I have heard people defend him based on how long it's been, based on her being someone trying to get famous (i.e. she…

Oh, me, me! I want one! Totally worth going to hell for.

I thought they got rid of indulgences? Around the time of the whole Protestant/church splitting thing? No? Clearly I need to brush up on my history.

I like him more now knowing he is dating someone who can kick ass.

Agreed. So agreed. And though I usually like a clean-shaven man, he looks at least 3 times as hot with the short beard. It's science.

Clearly I have a heart of stone, but the misspellings are killing me. I don't know that I could marry someone whose grammar/spelling was that bad. It ruins the romance for me. (I mean, that and another commenter mentioned he was an adulterer and womanizer).

This won't PASS will it? I mean, someone tell me it has no chance of passing, please. Because it is CRAZY.

Ok, I'm going to wade in and I hope I'm expressing myself well and not opening myself up to flaming. This seems to be a sensitive topic.

This goes back to judges making a lot of medical decisions in our country, from abortion rights to end of life situations. I don't like it. I think the family and the doctors should be the ones at the wheel and, except in extreme situations where one of those parties has gone off the rails in terms of being…

There is a shortage of adult lungs. That's why adults are in line for transplants too. The shortage is less severe, but adults die waiting for transplants too. I feel sorry for this girl and her parents, but I also feel sorry for the adult (or, possibly, 14 year old child) that didn't get lungs because she did. I…

Oh, I love me some Elderscrolls. I don't play a lot of games, because I find shooter games boring, but that is a series I always make a point to buy.

Yuck. This is the real benefit of interning - meeting and hopefully impressing people who will then take a chance on hiring you for real. Problem is, not all internships are at companies where they even have open slots to hire people into. The interns just replace paid employees. Real internships at companies that…

Ugh. I so sympathize. I want to make a lateral move in my industry, to a related but not identical job, and it's SO hard because you have to already have been doing that exact job for years before they'll give you a chance. So I'm continuing on my path instead for now, even though it's not exactly what I want to do,…

Agreed. Short of actual nudity, I think people should basically be able to dress how they want, even when I think it looks dumb. I mean, I will happily side eye anyone actually dressed like this, but it should in no way be illegal.

I don't think those words are comparable at all. From the research I've done since this has come up it's clear that in Europe the word is more loaded than in America. There is currently a show on Nat Geo called "American Gypsies." The Smithsonian Museum, not exactly a hate group, describes various traveling groups as…
