I think that once you've started a consensual relationship with someone sexually, they can express their admiration for your body. Is it really weird to you that people have active sex lives with their partners, yet have no obligation to enjoy the sexual advances made by every dude on the street? I shudder to think of…

Pop music is ok but pope music REALLY sucks.

Please point me in the direction of a Broadway musical in which a single performer sings and dances virtually non-stop for 90 minutes. They would have to be in every scene and singing and dancing for the entirety of each of those scenes.

Yup, like people believed that those performers are basically doing a workout while singing and they singer was singing their song perfectly. No heavy breathing? lol

Yes. Yes they are.

It's naive to keep having unprotected sex when you already have a bunch of kids and hope it won't result in pregnancy.

It's a viable enough consequence that it keeps happening, though! Seven kids is a hell of a lot to have without pregnancy seeming like a viable consequence.

Read your comment correctly? Get over yourself. How stupid do you have to be to not know that sex can make babies? And 7 times at that. But please, keep sticking up for those who don't want to better themselves, it really helps every one.....

Can I got to jail for a few days to pay off my debt? I'll try really hard not to die. I can TOTALLY see why she would want to do this. Big giant debts, like house and school loans, are sort of abstract and there are a lot of ways to get help and feel like you are actively working with it. But debt that is big, but not…

You don't possibly think the lack of education could be.....oh I don't know, the mom not making them go to school?

Are you suggesting I have my head up my ass when you're the one implying that middle class white people get some sort of free ride?

I would go to prison for two days to erase that level of debt, rather than pay. I'm middle class. That's more than one month of my take-home pay.

Reading is an excessively poor area with a fairly high crime rate. They do not have the money to enact such a program. Their courts are already strapped for funding; truant parents are not the cash cow that you think they are.

I'm conflicted. I don't think she should have been jailed for not being able to pay these fine, but if it were me and I had no way to pay a bunch of fines that were hanging over my head, and I was told a weekend in jail would clear them? I'd take the jail time too to be honest.

I don't know what planet you live on, but $2,200 is not "minor fees". That's quite a bit of money, even if you are middle class.

Yup. Someone said that she was "clearly mentally unstable" or some shit because she chose to go to prison for a "small" debt. These people have so obviously never been poor. $2000 is a fuckton of money for A LOT of people, especially if we're talking fines. Where I'm from, $2000 is about 6 months' worth of minimum…

Not trying to be argumentative — I'd really like to hear your alternative. I don't like the idea of fees or fines being optional. If there's no consequence to non-payment, why would anyone pay? This woman had 15 years of citations, and that obviously wasn't doing the trick.

....I would totally go to prison for 2 days to erase 2,200 of debt.

I'm a middle class white person. Never happened to me. Know why? Because I don't keep having kids and not making sure they go to school. It's called using protection and being responsible for your children. You know the crazy thing? EVERYONE can do this. So please, spare me your whining because someone made poor…

should 7 kids be legal?
