In Europe in general it wouldn't be an issue, because as I understand it it's legal there after 16 (or at least, when I was there it was). However, in the US it is very illegal and they take it seriously. They will prosecute and jail parents for this. And anyway, with this particular woman, the girl got so drunk she…

Firstly, the word gypsy refers not only to Romani (of whom I have utmost respect) but also to travelers in general, which I consider myself to be. It is the context which can make it racist, and at the time I chose my screen name and I had never even heard it as an insult.

Because if the kids at your house are minors, and they are not your kids, it's not your right to let them drink without their parents approval. If they sneak around and do it behind their parents back, that's on them. But if you provide alcohol for them without their parents knowing, they are right to be very very…

Huh, that is interesting.

Yes, that is true. Hopefully they will be able to take his DNA, now that they have it, and try to use it for that purpose.

The provenance of the shawl is a problem, but if it is proven that it is the victim's blood on it, and the suspect's DNA on it, it certainly strengthens the case against him. Though, as others have said, he could have just been a john who peaceably left after buying her services before the killer ever got there. But,…

Well, certainly, and I hope experts look more closely into it. But if the science is sound then it's a great discovery.

How is that weak? They connected the DNA both to direct descendants of the victim and direct descendants of the culprit. That's pretty strong to me. Now, obviously, if it turns out the scientist who did this was careless or otherwise didn't follow proper procedure that is different, but based on the article it seems…

If verified (and based on the article it seems pretty conclusive) it's fascinating. I hope they are able to solve more ancient crimes this way, and maybe also clear some people who were falsely accused. I'm also glad private money was spent on this, since there is enough of a backlog of current crimes awaiting…

Well, she could have been sick but recovered. I'd cry if my significant other had cancer, but it doesn't mean that they had to die.

Yeah. He was always a lovable rogue, but that ending just made him gross. It took away all the progress his character had made.

Yeah, I loved that show until they made the characters into assholes in the last couple seasons.

That is such a good point. The ending really insulted Robin and all the stuff she wanted for the entire series (career, no kids, freedom). It wasn't super flattering to Barney either. And they were my two favorite characters. Ted was a wet blanket.

I don't mind messy, but I just never ever saw Robin and Ted as being good together, and I liked her and Barney. I hated that the ending invalidated years of character development and shared growth.

If this girl is having abortion after abortion instead of using birth control then she is being irresponsible to the extreme. On the other hand, someone that irresponsible really shouldn't be a parent. So, as much as it sucks that this one person is doing this, it is still better than the alternative. And I would…

To me, it's more because she plays a gynecologist on her show, not that she's a woman. I mean, her practice on the show has quite a few pregnant ladies that she doctors.

I think opossums are real life ROUS'. Have you seen one? *shudder*

Oh, if you do use Project Free TV, don't click the "download" or "stream" options, just click within the screen that originally pops up after the link, the 'close ad and watch' screen. I kept trying to go to the "stream" link which was actually leading to another site and wasn't working for me.

I think she actually had light brown hair with blonde highlights - so, lighter than the actress, but not quite as far off. I don't think she was outright blonde, though I think there is a mention of how her hair when she is older being lighter than it had been when she was younger.

I'm against both, for the record. No idea what other people against circumcision feel.
