Because the longer it’s been since a crime, the more difficult it is to present a defense. It’s hard to say exactly where you were on a specific date ten years ago, much less provide proof of that. Statutes of Limitation traditionally were put in place to protect the constitutional rights of the accused, specifically…

This. I trim when it starts to annoy me.

And then one time, at band camp...

Well, at least it’s not the “OMG you care about a dead lion you must not care about dead people” hot take I was expecting.

A lot of commands will prosecute you if you were doing something wrong at the time of the sexual assault. I’ve had soldiers in the Army who reported unrestricted who were prosecuted for underage drinking or adultery as a result.

I sometimes visit antivax message boards for fun. The common refrain is that you don’t need to worry about Tetanus unless you’re around farm animals a lot, as they believe it only gets in the soil from farm animal feces.

“Veronica Moser-Sullivan, age 6, shot four times, including in the chest (fatally), limbs, and lower right side.”

I’m all for vaccinations, and my kids will be getting the HPV vaccination, but I’m not sure it should be required for public schools? Typically not all available vaccinations on the market place are required for public school attendance. Hepatitis A vaccinations are only required in 10 states, for example. Most states…

The military really, really wants to keep healthcare costs down. It’s basically eating up huge portions of the Defense budget. So the DoD has been reluctant to open up the ranks to the a population who typically need long term medication and extensive surgery in order to meet modern health care standards. http://www.fo…

He really did do some good on the fight against AIDS in Africa. But that’s all I got.

Okay, I saw this on my phone earlier, and was like, “It’s purple, duh.” But now I’m on my laptop and it totally looks pink.

Oh, bullshit. My birth experience had both great and terrible people, of both genders. I gave birth to twins in an OR, so I had more people than normal. But a male doctor was the kindest to me through the whole process, and was the one who noticed my son’s heart rate dropping and got him out quick, whisking the cord…

I have an implant. I was much more comfortable getting that than an IUD. It’s worked fine for me so far. I wonder why the push for IUDs over implants? Implants are far less invasive. I suppose IUDs are cheaper though, since they last longer.

Because I rent. Most guard dogs aren’t allowed due to breed restrictions and I’m not spending money to upgrade someone else’s home when I have to leave in three years.

I’ll let the Army know to take away every soldier’s weapon in Afghanistan. We don’t get two hours a day of practice with them before we deploy, after all.

Most don’t. Some do. Homeless people are as varied as any other class of people. If you’ve never been harassed or threatened for saying no, then you’re luckier than me.

Right, because if a man refuses to leave you alone after you politely tell him you can’t give him what he asks for, that’s not continued harassment or intimidation at all. Not saying it’s worth pulling a gun out over, but seriously?

I’m moving this summer, but if I wasn’t, I’d actually consider getting a gun for the first time in my adult life.

After having a baby myself, I am fascinated by what the mundane details of this family’s life must be like. Does Kate breastfeed? If so, how does she manage when they go out in public and they’re all wearing super impractical outfits for it? Does she bottle feed? Is there pressure one way or the other? What formula is…

Disagree. Taylor Swift had a vegan barbecue. I got to eat MEAT.
