our just manners. I allow some room for the occasional surprise fart that you are unable to prepare for, but in general sphincter control is as fundamental as washing your hands or not licking other people’s food.

1. Terrible People

AJ Anderson is a saint. Way nicer than I would have been.

Joan: Those were Italian.

The pregnancy would be evidence, but in the end it is just that woman’s word that he was the father. If it went to trial, defense would go that route and slut shame her on the stand. I get the motive for a plea deal, but it does seem pretty damned lenient.

Agreed. There have mistakes that ended up on the registry (peeing in the park, teenage sexting etc.) that should not have. But this is an example of one that absolutely should be on the registry.

1. No one said he is a pedophile.. they said he is a rapist. He is.

Have we noted exactly how brave this woman is posting all this stuff. I am sure a few of these guys are the type that react violently to embarrassment. Can we get her some police protection here?

Yes, Why is this idea still out there. People think that because the statement includes some mention of attraction like “I think you are hot so...” that it is a compliment, but somehow miss the “..I think that I will follow rape and kill you.” that follows.

God I am with this guy so much. I got so much flack from friends and family simply for caring about how my wedding went. Fortunately my wife was into compromising and actually wanted my input, but the number of times people told me to just do whatever she wanted and show up was crazy.

Maybe she was only allergic to the crunchy nuts.

Re: Maura’s story- a theory. He was proposing and he had left the ring in the soup and forgot about it. Another theory: He had hidden his heroin stash in there. A third theory: He is an asshole.

Um.. it’s a school shooting if there is shooting.. and its at a school.

Well it is likely that this is why they chose to use workers. Someone thought Slave trade bringing Slaves was redundant. It is not though. Workers does not literally imply wages, but it still is not the best choice.

Okay.. If you call tissues a Kleenex, then you are doing the same thing.

As a Southerner I should be offended, but I am not. It is a weird practice. It comes from how for a couple of generations the only soda anyone ever saw was coca-cola, so when other sodas appeared they were just off brand cokes. That said, I do not know anyone who does this that does not know that it is colloquial and…

Still very common in the south. once upon a time Coke was the only soda here so all other sodas became versions of Coke.

And we have a winner!

I am sorry. I may not be able to help you there. I guess I was too hyperbolic suggesting it was well established in law. Most references I see refer to public school settings, but it mirrors my understanding of how it applies to restaurants.

Well they could use witness testimony of other passengers saying that they were not the most loud and that whites were just as bad. It sounds like most of the train is supporting them.
