I don’t want to live in a world where people think that NEWS REPORTERS should be armed.

Yup. And then I read the location. Chinese museum, Chinese rules.

And ya know...if he didn’t have a cup in his hand that he was trying not to spill, he probably wouldn’t have put his hand through the painting.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Food and drink is banned here at the Museum of Amazing Stuff. I spend a lot of time telling people that a green-and-white Starbucks cup does not make them exempt.

That outraged me perhaps more than it should have.

Kids these days have to have a cylinder filled with SportsWater(tm), high fructose corn syrup, or a Starbucks concoction with them AT ALL TIMES. If they don’t I’m pretty sure they turn into a small pile of desiccated flakes like soap shavings.

Most museums don’t even allow beverages in the galleries.

What is it with assholes who think everything is a zero sum game. No “thinspo” people, there is no backlash against you just because we are moving closer towards all body types acceptance. Furthermore, whatever shit you get is not because you are thin, it’s because you viciously ridicule anybody who doesn’t uphold…

Well, sure, if your man has to go out and buy his own sandwiches, he'll likely cheat on you with a minor.

The dollar store ones are great for a quick peace of mind pee.

OMG! I thought I was the only one that did that! I dont feel so alone now!

Not to mention the dissection of said rabbits once a month!

Depends on the state (44 states currently house juveniles with adults), but the number of youth under 18 confined in adult prisons has more than doubled in the past decade. If they do go to adult prisons, there are no youth services, no education services, nothing so we’d be totally writing these girls off. Juveniles…

Even if they were in prison for 3 years, wouldn’t they have probation after that? It sounds like the psychiatrists who have examined the girls think that one of them can be rehabilitated. Telling a 13 year old she will be in prison for 45 years seems like the definition of cruel and unusual punishment to me. The US is…

If this happened to my child I would be devastated. I would also realize that a horrible thing happened by someone who was not mentally capable of understanding the damage they’d done. You want to commit these kids to a mental facility for the rest of their days? I could probably work with that. You want to bury them…

Yeah, but see this is why we need a law that no one can be tried as an adult until they are 18. Full stop. Because this is a sensational case, and it’s a quite unusual. People are fascinated because it’s two white girls and a crazy internet story. The vast majority of kids who get thrown in prison and tried as adults…

I spent years working in the juvenile justice system. Anyone who thinks that a 13 year old has the same judgment therefore should be tried in the adult court knows very little about current research. Having kids tried as an adult is a political move by people who want to look tough on crime, not a move based on any…

That’s the thing that gets me- not only was the male cop ok with this, but he got two female cops to go along with it? ???

Ugh. That is even grosser than robots in human skin! I cannot imagine living like that. I hope she eventually sees the light and runs away!
