Rofl that sounds like some kind of sexy epilepsy. Sexilepsy.

This is surprising to me. I thought everyone lost confidence in college. You go in thinking you are the shit and come out realizing that the world is a cold, horrible place and you are not that smart or special.

Ah I wasn't aware of this. I just googled it and apparently similar cases have been overturned and re-sentenced (I found one of a young defendent that was given under the mandatory minimum sentence for distributing pictures of his underage girlfriend). Hopefully the same thing will happen here then.

Right, but he was already sentenced again under the regular law which doesn't have the possibility of re-sentencing, yes? If he breaks the terms of his probation then he can definitely go back to jail though.

At least he has a loooong time on probation. More chances to mess up and go back to jail. I know a lot of people are saying, "why doesn't a judge re-sentence him, this is ridiculous," but in our justice system it just can't happen. If it could, the government would make awesome plea deals to get you to cooperate…

Best one:

Nope because you can't account for it. Studies like this can only show correlation, not causation.

Because the worse version implicated other people (including adults) in a vast conspiracy who turned out to not be guilty.

My wife eats things with fruit mold all the time, kind of freaks me out. She has never gotten sick from it though.

I think we might be surprised if we asked the same questions in the US and got a similar result, especially the "because she was their wife or girlfriend" one. I think that is a lot more common than people like to admit.

I can't speak to the article, but there are lots of things you can do to children that would be illegal if you did it to an adult. Private schools can corporally punish you if your parents agree to it. Obviously no kid is going to consent to getting smacked. You can bodily restrain a kid and it's okay.

To then... vote them out of office because there are a lot more of them?

Looks like a karate uniform.

I'm hoping that they meant if you split the chores then you will each be less stressed and have more time for extracurricular activities.

Or neither parent is to blame and he is just a loser. Those things are you talking about are not difficult, anyone with half a brain could figure them out even if they had never been taught. Worst case, two minutes of googling will clear it right up. Maybe you should have called him on his bullshit before he…

Lots of people just don't care though. Is it a bit of dust or dirt really going to kill you? People lived for thousands of years sleeping in dirt and it was fine.

Oh weird, I was just going by the summary where it says "where parents illegally seek new homes for kids."

But... it's not legal so it's really just regular child trafficking.

Yes I just found this out. It is not true in most states though, just the fact that the victim is underage is enough.
