According to the Guardian the "authorities have reportedly refused to release the child to his father's care because of his Christian faith" although an earllier article stated that the couple decided it was best for the toddler to stay with the mum, not sure I believe that though.

I just… I just don't get his appeal.

Benedict Cumberbatch is definitely ugly, and he is not invited to get it from me. But he has a certain sex appeal that I can understand is attractive to some people.

He is a great actor, but there is something about his face that makes me really, really uneasy. He just creeps me out. I can't put my finger on why. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Your personal likes should definitely determine whether or not someone is stalked or killed!!

I think it's pretty obvious that the only person Donald Sterling has to blame for his ruin is himself. He could have amicably divorced his wife and taken up with any girl of his choosing, but instead he tried to have his cake and eat it too. I don't feel sorry for him, his wife or that obvious opportunist who…

hold the fuck up!!!!!!!!!

As a child who was raised in an environment that was similar to this (although my parents stopped at 4 kids and mellowed out a bit as they got older), they are not doomed to do what their parents set for them. However, it will probably take one brave child to set aside their parents teachings and go off on their own,…

I know the difference is that they had hard proof that he did it, but anyone else finding it ironic that tweeting about rape gets the book thrown at you, while actually raping someone usually brings little response from law enforcement. See police responses when athletes are accused of rape.

I... I don't understand this reaction. It's perfectly understandable that someone would want to say "I wasn't actually trying to portray a stereotype because I was ignorant of that stereotype." It makes total sense that someone would want to indicate "No, I am not intentionally making a joke of how these people have…

"Baby, I know you love me so much, and that I'm the first really serious relationship you've had, and I know I have been there for you emotionally every day, allowed you to get closer to me, let your guard down to the point where you'd do anything I ever asked you to keep our relationship together, so baby, I need to…

As mush as we all want the girls back, they just cannot agree to release the prisoners for the young girls. It would just encourage similar acts.

yes, extorsion. fraud. call it whatever you want. and punish men for it. but don't call it rape because it simply is not.

it's bad. it's tricking someone. it's probably a crime of some other sort. but it's not rape, is the point people are making. not every bad thing men do to women can be called rape.

I mean, to me rape means the absence of consent. If you could prove these men went into it thinking "I'm going to lie about getting married, and sleep with her, then bail," you have probably an argument for fraud.

But in a lot of cases it seems they're young couples, having sex, not being careful, get pregnant - and…

Yeah, sorry to qualify what I said: Fraud is a criminal offense and a civil offense. What I meant was, you can claim damages for fraud (it is a tortious claim), and you cannot equate fraud with rape

You would benefit from learning the difference between respect and blind obedience.

Respect is earned. And it sounds like this kid respects our nation's principles more than a hollow gesture. Good for him.

As a former Florida Woman myself (I was raised in South Fla.) I have to say, this particular Florida Woman move was quite spectacular. This has to be right up there with the Florida Woman who called 911 because McDonalds ran out of Chicken McNuggets.
