The child porn laws about kids taken picture of themselves and their friends sounded pretty weird to me at first, but I’ve completely come around to it.

I might say military massacres, say of POWs or civilians and there survivors, can compare a bit here and the long term results are not good. High suicide ideation, completions, drug and drink, epidemic PTSD. (My grandfather was assigned to clean up a concentration camp in WW2. Had acute PTSD with alcohol abuse until…

My 3-year-old niece used to love running around saying, “do you know who this man is?” (She’s currently 6) This movie is fantastic and timeless.

Honestly, that helpline isn’t that helpful and if that’s your experience, as it was mine, it’s not your fault. There is help out there. If you are in despair, go to the hospital and know you don’t have to live your life like this. 

There’s been some research, but it’s still in the early stages. It seems impossible, but Columbine (what most people would point to as the ‘beginning’ of the mass shooting epidemic wasn’t that long ago in “study years,” plus it can be difficult to get federal funding (or any funding at all) for gun studies.

“about two parents who lost their daughter in the Aurora shooting traveling to the sites of other mass shootings to basically help prepare parents about the trolling they’re likely to be subjected to”

> This might sound terrible...

Can’t imagine his pain and anguish ..... on top of receiving threats from pro gun nut jobs....... this is beyond human burden bearing ability level.

I’m guessing they have, but has anyone done a research study on the long-term mental health effects of mass shootings? On the one hand, I feel like a huge segment of the country is basically desensitized to them by now, so there’s that effect, while survivors and family members are experiencing significant long-term…

FYI. The recent TAL episode called Beware of Jabberwock has a pretty interesting interview with one of the Sandy Hook fathers re: the online trolls ad Alex Jones.

Alex Jones should have to pay for this funeral and the ongoing mental & physical health expenses of all the Newtown families.

White on White crime is 4 times higher than the racist label of “Black on Black crime” to add to that White males are killing en masse (that means a lot of people in toothless inbred hick speak) using assault rifles. 86% of violent crimes commited against White were by Whites.

I don’t know how to tell people this without freaking them out, but lots of students don’t fill out their own applications. How do I know? I see their parents’ names on the applications with the students demographics. I see messed up SSN’s that belong to the parents. I see parents coming into the office needing to…

What was the endgame for Lori Loughlin? I assume she figured she could just continue paying people off to complete her daughters’ work? Olivia Jade couldn’t finish a college application - how did her parents expect she would do when faced with actual course work? I get grade inflation and all that jazz, but I believe…

I hope It’s not too out of line if I say “I hope the <Very not nice word for evil person> is sentenced to ‘so many years in prison that when she gets out her great-grandkids will have great-grandkids.’”

There is no way his right hand women should be given too light of sentence they all knowingly helped him sleep with underage girls among numerous other felonies. Yes KR should get the most ultimate punishment out of the whole group but if the rest get only a few years, you can expect these 3 women to keep this group…

This phrasing reminds me of a scene from the hockey comedy Slap Shot.

There is a documentary about Ike that was done by a UK TV channel some years ago ( it’s somewhere on youtube ) while he was on a speaking tour in Canada with his Holocaust denier buddy. Most of it is just him talking without any narration, they let him dig his own hole and he does a fine job of making look like a…

YES. “Betraying” her makes it sound like Nancy revealed a secret entrusted to her. Everyone knew Diana was a Nazi — she bragged about it to the end of her life. She used to swan around the pre-WW II Nazi rallies in Germany, in black leather, making the Nazi salute with her sister Unity who was, I’m sorry to say,…

I’m fascinated by the Mitford sisters. You forgot to mention that Jessica Mitford was super close with Maya Angelou:
