Shame we can't ask the late Jonathan Molina how he feels about that scenario...

Apt username you've got - assigned by popular vote, perhaps?

Stevie Wonder is from a generation of athletes and performers who took actual risks to create change (just like Carlos and Smith did).

Could you post up that snippet of the call?

"I don't want to hear about the evidence" belongs on a t-shirt.

"these people" can't possibly equal "burglars hitting the neighborhood"?? No?

At $16/hr Aus vs $7.50/hr US you seemed to have an interesting data point in re: minimum wage. At $7.55/hr (Aus young-worker min) vs $7.50/hr (US young-worker min), the significance of the gap seems to recede a little. I do respect your willingness to freely admit you didn't know the min wage for young workers in eit…

Because it's NOT lower, that's why. There's a 90-day introductory period at a lower wage for new teen workers, then it goes to the adult min wage.

My point? Establishing the correct wage comparison for the fast-food workforce. You raised Australia, not me - it might be considered relevant by some that the actual wage earned by young workers there is 35-50% less than the minimum-wage fig for adults you originally cited.

You don't have casual workers still in high school? That's still a large - though far from majority - part of McDonald's employee base in the States.

That's not a bad approximation of financial-literacy levels in the US - regardless of the person's education.

The minimum wage for 16-year-olds in Australia is $7.55, correct?

CCP is not the same as "gun rights" overall — though the notion that Zimmerman shouldn't get a new CCP is probably something most observers of the case would agree with.

Some anti-psychotics have such potent weight-gain effects that they're used off-label for treatment of anorexia. So, yeah... for sure.

She sure cared enough to callously fire her IT director, who was concerned abt her office withholding evidence from the defense.

You might not be on the ideal site to make fat jokes - even funny ones.

Don't forget tweets telling the jurors to kill themselves. Those are nice too.

Impossible scenario. He'd likely have to stab the kid violently a few dozen times - not shoot him - if he wanted to be acquitted. Right, OJ?

You found out how six white women thought about this case - that's it.

"Rabbiting on" is incredibly apt! (Just commented, not five mins ago, that Doug's hectic meanderings reminded me of a beagle chasing rabbits.)
