Have you even tried to familiarize yourself with the Title IX case? Schools are so obsessed with maintaining the illusion of safety that they don't want rape reports to go public. For years they have told students that the university will handle the rape claims and investigation, then their employees shame or railroad…

Manatees are primarily herbivores, fuckface.

I can't remember if I was in 4th or 6th grade when they made us watch the Nova "Miracle of Life" video, but it certainly felt overly traumatizing. I think I was too young and too sensitive to see something like that. It's not a panacea though, there were still girls in my class who became pregnant in high school. It…

Oh my god. This little girl is hella stoic. During my EMT classes I almost passed out when I had to watch the emergency childbirth videos. I got all lightheaded and had to put my head between my knees. Fortunately I never did that in the field. It is different when you're there with the patient, I guess. What a…

I'm just imagining how skilled this dude must be when it comes to Colonel Angus.

That is NOT the "victim's choice". Part of the Title IX investigation is that universities lied to students and told them they had to go through the university. You have to understand that very few victims ever report to the police as it is.

Do you have any idea how large Colorado is? The distance between Denver and where the Hayman fires were located a few years back is roughly the distance between Philly and NYC. There is simply no way that any police agency has the resources to track where every person is all the time.

I read that some desperate patients with C. Difficile have been using actual blenders and trying to do at-home transplants (!). This does NOT work because the bacteria are anaerobic and exposing them to air will kill them. It has to be done in a lab to be effective.

You read this story, and your takeaway is BOO HOO GAMERZ? Really?

I know a guy who has two daughters born three months apart. They have different mothers. Sometimes people have "Irish Twins", where the mother becomes pregnant again shortly after giving birth. It is common for this to happen in situations where there is domestic violence (although having Irish twins is obviously not,…

Did you happen to read about Steve Jobs and his fruitarian diet? Apparently when Ashton Kutcher was playing him in the biopic, he used a method acting approach (dunno if Kutcher is a method actor or what) and adopted Jobs' fruitarian diet. He was hospitalized with pancreatitis, if I recall correctly (Jobs died of…

Diet soda is, in fact, not actually calorie-free. It is ADVERTISED as calorie-free due to serving size. The FDA stipulates that low-calorie foods (I think that is defined as less than 5 calories per serving), may be advertised as calorie-free. I know people who consume litres of diet soda per day.

I wonder what her pancreas looks like. Jesus.

Yeah, being a libural means you can't stand up when one group is trying to wrest basic civil rights away from gays.

Yeah, I wouldn't wax rhapsodic about General Mills, General Motors, or any big corporations. GM, for example, decided that $2.40 per vehicle to "keep families safe" wasn't worth the cost of a few kids getting burned to death in their product. Companies are banking on consumer outrage over the social issues of the day…

Can you expand on standards for private versus public schools? Although abuse can (and does) occur anywhere, I have heard that private religious schools can hire "teachers" that don't even have state teaching licenses, as long as they employ at least one staff member who does. I'm not sure if that's true...and I can…

You missed the part where he bought the gun at the SAME STORE where the previous Ft Hood shooter bought his firearms?

John Young, one of the marathoners with dwarfism mentioned in his article, didn't start running until he saw another "Supercrip" as the Bitch Magazine article terms them, of Team Hoyt. http://www.today.com/news/love-acti…

Yeah, dude on the left looks like he does a pretty good job. Enthusiasm, variety, stamina, ice cream down the chin, I would take him through the drive-through any day if you know what I mean.

I wouldn't have a problem going through security in a country like Israel, because they do it right. Israel is geographically smaller and spends WAY more on security than we do. I don't think Americans would ever pay the kinds of taxes and fees that Israel does. They have world-class security, highly-paid and…
