Seriously. There has been a general decline in violent crime from it's high point in the 70s and 80s. That doesn't make any of this shit right nor is it in any way germane to the discussion.

Because 12 year olds have a working knowledge of their state's open-carry laws (or even an awareness that gun control is a Thing). Fuuuuuuuuck them.

I know the feeling. I am doing a post-bacc and have been asked multiple times which dorm I live in. I am 29.

Actually it's the opposite. At the end of the day, prosecutors need the police to be able to do their jobs effectively. They have a greater incentive to present the case in a way that favors the police or in the very least casts them in a sympathetic light. There have only been a handful of cases where a grand jury…

Grand juries can only consider the evidence that's presented before them in the manner that the prosecutor chooses to present it. It's not like a normal trial where the defence can poke holes in the prosecution's case and evidence can be questioned. It's basically the prosecution's version of events. It's not an…

"it'll be virtually impossible for Congress to get anything done."

It's a testament to Fox News, uh, journalistic acumen, that I immediately believed you without question.

My reaction was very similar:

I am in a rental and have an incredibly small space to cook, so I installed a pegboard last summer and it's been wonderful. I don't know if I trust my own carpentry skills enough to hang a cast iron skillet from it, but it's currently handling two saucepans, two non-stick skillets, two bamboo spatulas, a colander,…

I tried so hard to like this season. On paper, I should have loved it. I love Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates, I love creepy horror stuff, especially creepy circus stuff. There is nothing in the actual description that I don't like, and yet, I found it so boring.

Tudor England, not Victorian England. Mary reigned in the mid 16th century while Victoria reigned for much of the 19th century. So Tudor-era fart joke or 16th century fart joke. As an aside, this courtier has nothing on William Shakespeare, the undisputed champion of fart and sex jokes of 16th century England.

This. I was raised Catholic and went to a Jesuit run university. The importance of social justice has been repeatedly drilled into me. I honestly don't why understand people, especially people who are otherwise incredibly vocal about their religion, bad mouth social justice. I feel that if Jesus were alive and kicking…

I feel the same way about Nick Carter. Bullet dodged HARD

The most disturbing thing I learned from this photo is that Leo is a member of the Raider nation.

Same. I love them both but never the two shall meet.

Thanks! I have a blender, so this works out. I'll have to try some of these :)

Worst case scenario you're just eating more vegetables and fruits, which is all and all a great thing.

Or you know, it's for the elderly and children (who make up the vast majority of people on welfare). Aka the people we, as a society, really don't want working/worrying about money.

Nah that's not victim blaming. Dogs don't go into situations with the intent to bite. They bite out of fear, out of stress and out of anxiety. It's on the owner/responsible adults in the room to recognize that the dog is being put in a situation where it will likely lash out aggressively and remove the dog and/or the…

I like JanBow because it sounds like an aerobic exercise that I want no part of but which will become really trendy.
