Wait, how could you not find an open restaurant at 9PM? Finz, Salem Beer Works, Howling Wolf...plus the tons of other spots that cater to the nearby students of Salem State.

The guy who ran the church of Satan - the house with the two stone dogs in front - patient at the Dr.'s office where I worked. Nice guy.

Or maybe Scavenger Hunt, listed in different thread below. Also with lizard people.

The Listeners - one of his adult books? Something with twins meditating and breathing turns you into a reptile. Or something. And telekinesis?

What does the author mean when she writes, "But there's still some confusion about consent" with regards to the respondents agreeing with the statement that "Rape and sexual assault can happen unintentionally, especially if alcohol is involved"? Rape doesn't require any specific intent; it's a general intent crime -…

TBH the sex scenes with Connor on HTGAWM started to make me uncomfortable. Not the scenes themselves - which I found well directed, sexy, and explicit (a nice contrast to the soft, sanitized way gay sex or intimacy is usually presented on network TV). I just started having issues with the portrayal of Connor - a law…

I was more offended by the unpaid sex slave part, because the main reason the offer would be board and zero or some pay is because the person is supposed to be a sex worker - and thus shamed from expecting legal, aboveboard compensation or bringing any claim in court or deserving

1. Yes there is due process. There is are hearings, the process is laid out to the accusers and accused, determinations are made about whether evidence can be considered, the board weighs the evidence and makes a determination about accountability and consequences.

Not only that; there's almost no likelihood it could be true. The federal law EMTALA makes it illegal for any hospital (that accepts federal money, like Medicare, which covers virtually every hospital in the US), to refuse emergency medical care to anyone regardless of insurance, citizenship, legal status, or ability…

I guess I'm outdated. I feel like clothes today aren't particularly flattering and women don't seem to know how to flatter their figures like they did, say, in my mom's generation (baby boomers). Tailoring and construction are poor. Most pants are cut horribly. It kind of drives me crazy when I see a woman with a…

This guy is a gross hypocrite and horrible person; I agree. On a separate note - would those photos be legally considered child pornography? She was underage, partially nude (nipples and buttocks revealed), and her poses were deliberately sexual. I remember not having any issue with the pictures at the time - and I…

I think it's possible to support and celebrate the contributions an individual makes to his field without endorsing his troublesome beliefs. I think Noam Chomsky is an anti-semite, but would be aghast to hear that linguist students weren't educated on his work. In addition, it sounds as though Galliano has made a real…

My husband's a chef and the kitchens are often hotter than outdoors. At his last job - at a fine dining restaurant where he served for 7 years, the temperatures would reach 110 easily. He's collapsed before, and that kind of heat and humidity is indeed life threatening. Keep in mind that restaurants often hire illegal…

The courts can't decide cases before they're cases. Courts can only rule on the constitutionality of a law after a case has been brought before them - which means that a plaintiff needs to sue the state. That plaintiff also needs to have standing (a particularized injury) to bring the suit.

None of this is correct legally. There is certainly no rule or standard that requires more to convict a defendant than the testimony of the victim or "those over whom he or she has influence" (I don't even know what that phrase is supposed to mean. Her friends?). Second, there's no such thing as being found…

There's no indication that sterilization was punitive, so Skinner doesn't really apply (Skinner didn't put an end to compulsory sterilization of the mentally disabled, for example). It's still a due process violation, though.

I just had to have a D&C because my baby's heart stopped beating. Thank god there are doctors trained and capable of providing the procedure in a safe environment. Fuck you.

I'm part of that 0.3%, and was just released from the hospital yesterday, concluding one of the worst two weeks of my life. My husband and I found out we were carriers for cystic fibrosis and scheduled a chorionic villus sampling. During the ultrasound prior to the procedure, the technician discovered my baby's heart…

My husband grew up with two brothers, one older and one younger, both of whom are mentally disabled. Although they live outside of the home (one in a small group home and the other in a community supported living situation), and are both loved unconditionally by their family, my husband has always felt a great deal of…

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and just found out today that my husband and I are both carriers for cystic fibrosis, meaning there's a 1 in 4 chance our baby has the disease. The CVS is tomorrow. My mind keeps drifting to the possibility of abortion - I know the local clinic that provides abortions, mostly because of the…
