You don’t believe 30 is a massive number of shots to be able to fire in 90 seconds or less? Because that would pretty much destroy any reasonable target the average person would encounter in a non-military combat/police response situation. Because if you can’t take down a deer, a cougar or a bear in under 30 shots,…

Because the term ‘assault weapon’ has historically had differing definitions from state to state, this bill specifically defines the certain types and features of weapons it is regulating, while leaving access to all other types of handguns and rifles in place and unrestricted.

And if you seriously consider limiting…

And why is no one talking about the white, blue-eyed guy from Indiana who was taking explosives and guns to L.A. Pride? How will we be keeping those terrorists out? Are we planning to build a wall around Indiana, too?

You do realize that’s not a bill to take anyone’s guns away, right? It’s about restricting access to one specific sub-type of firearm while allowing people to still have ALL THE OTHER TYPES OF FIREARMS.

In the same way that restricting people’s access to owning a nuclear device doesn’t mean we’re taking away fire.

I’m assuming she’s taking advice from her lawyer rather than a PR team at the moment.

Um, Ms. Wasser? Don’t you have some legal precedents you should be researching or something?

I would watch the hell out of that.

While it has currently fallen out of favor, especially in the U.S., among many disabled people and is a very contested language construct within disability studies, that’s not the same as saying “nobody uses that term” which just seems a way of being dismissive of the OP.

A lot of people use the term ‘differently abled’. It became popular in the 80s as a preferred alternative to ‘handicapped’, though it is now controversial as many disabled activists are rejecting “person-first”-type language.

In lieu of a mugshot, can anybody out there photoshop his yearbook photo with “RAPIST” printed across his forehead in block letters so we can make it the top Google Images search result?

It should be noted that Judge Persky is both a Stanford alum and an advocate for civil commitment/indefinite detention of what he terms “sexually violent offenders” (Except, you know, affluent white ones.)

Well, go sit in jail for 5 months for no legitimate reason and then come back and tell us if you still feel the same way.

My parents had me walking to school and the local shops alone by the time I was 7 but they still would never have dropped me off alone in a wooded area. Because my parents weren’t stupid.

From his Wikipedia page: “On May 5, 2014, Stanhope announced on the Howard Stern Show that he was working with Johnny Depp on a show. According to Stanhope, Depp befriended him in Europe and had an unknown project in mind for Stanhope.^”

For much of the 80s and 90s he was pretty well known (at least in L.A.) as kind of a mess. He had a well-documented history of impulsive and destructive behavior through his 20s and much of his 30s. Drugs, property damage, physical altercations, a rather drama-filled relationship in his late 20s/early with a very…

Doug Stanhope’s been dropping Johnny Depp’s name for at least a couple years now. For quite a while he’s been claiming his ‘very close personal friend Johnny Depp’ is creating a special project just for him that never seems to come to fruition.

Also, “...and will instead focus on her modeling career and her other artistic pursuits.”

1. The “women” in this article are teenagers. They do have access to birth control, the articles linked state the clinic is trying to provide birth control to these students WITHOUT informing their parents. If they want birth control they can inform their parents and have access to it.

You deserve a trophy for this. Perhaps Helen Hunt’s Oscar.

Micellar water is micro-droplets of micelles (little clusters of fatty lipids) suspended in water. Micelles have both a water-loving portion and an oil-loving portion. The oil-loving part sticks to the oils and waxes in the makeup and dissolves it. The water-loving part allows the liquified makeup and skin oils to be…
