Agreed x1000. I really hate when they are used out of intellectual laziness. Like the person can't be bother to come up with their own opinion or argument so they use a neatly prepackaged neologism to avoid having to say anything meaningful.

What, like you will explode or something if you don't? lol @ craigslist.

Instead of a ring, my wife and I spend the money on this giant painting for our house that we just moved into. Way cooler than a ring. My present to her was that I risked my life hanging it on the wall.

Well, yeah, it just seems like a weirdly artificial angle for an article.

Besides WIC, it seems like these effect men and women pretty equally. Why frame it in terms of how ladies are going to be hurt? Just be straight up and say it is shit for everyone.

Sorry, I was basing my statement on the fact that I was in Oslo and saw lots of people sunbathing naked in the park, none of whom were being arrested. Is it one of those things where it's illegal but they only bother you if you are being really egregious about it?

I dunno, it's not illegal to be naked in public in Norway though. Would he be arrested if he was fully clothed just for being kind of creepy? That is the case you would have to make probably. I'm not defending this guy, I just think it's interesting that people are freaking out over his nakedness when that part is…

He's a total creep, but it's actually not illegal to be naked in public in Norway...

The times I have faked it were usually like the third or fourth time in a row when not a lot was going to come out any way.

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.
