Thank you. I wonder if the people blaming the cops for not saving them have any idea how hazardous this type of thing is — even with the right equipment.

There is no “letting them die”. There is “impossible rescue".

If Susie, Kateland, and Madison were in that car and it hit the bottom of that pond, they’d be in the morgue just as certainly.

They came from broken homes and had parents who failed to be good role models. There are patterns in many similar situations unfortunately. You know why I don’t steal cars, despite the thrilling adventure it seems to be? Cops are gonna kill my ass if I’m not lucky enough to go to jail for years on end.

Perhaps I haven’t searched hard enough, but I don’t think anyone is saying they deserved to die because they ran from cops. They died because they made a mistake. You can’t blame the officers for not risking their lives to save theirs. Police have an obligation to do whatever they can within reasonable limits, but…

It's relevant when a family is trying to smear the police department and their deaths were in the commission of a crime.

Want to bring up to everyone that this is in Florida, in a murky pond, at night, right after a big water-disturbing commotion.

All choices have consequences.

Oh wow! Like a lot of people, I quickly read the headline and my mind immediately jumped to the other Will Smith, the relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers.

It’s simple, really.

1/2 situations in which Men use the toilet require the seat to be down (unless you shit standing up, which...is just impressive)

2/2 situations in which Women use the toilet require the seat to be down.

Therefore 3/4 times the toilet seat needs to be down.


edit: holy fuck people I’m not saying Men…

And we are already off to a FLYING start.

The best one was the woman who said that other women were using the VIDA post to get back at Ellis for ordinary relationship gripes, then said she was “reserving judgment.”

Sadly, that’s not nearly the case. I’ve seen so many insufferable, thoroughly mediocre male writers get break after break after break. All the while acting like total assholes. It’s not the quality of the writing that determines how much of an asshole you can be and still be successful in the literary community, it’s…

Zero shock here. Whether it’s science, medicine, politics, literature, visual art, music, fashion, knitting, botany—men have historically used their alleged talent and “genius” as an excuse or cover for horrible behavior, from general assholery and misogyny to rape. I’m glad that the douchebags and criminals who also…

I’d be inclined to agree with you but Pounded in the Butt by my own Butt is light years better than 50 shades of Twilight.

Women suck at things, there is no way a woman could write a book series as good as JK Rowling and his Harry Potter series or write music as good as that dude PJ Harvey. They def can’t sing as well…

No, the “voices” that were “silenced” would belong the 10 infants who died from pertussis in California, my home state, in 2010, because they were too young to be vaccinated and herd immunity failed because people’s “personal beliefs” allowed the disease to slop onto the lives of others - oops, that’s “lives” as in…

“...descend into autism...”

It’s ridiculous and infuriating. Look, it’s a paleontologist and a “The Flintstones was a documentary” guy arguing over the fossil record and evolution! Fairness! Balance!

Don’t worry, most of us understood the sarcasm inherent in your statement.

“We feel that screening a film that links vaccines to autism is irresponsible and despite our best efforts to spin it as a conversation piece, we have come to realize that there cannot be any productive conversation stemming from research published by a discredited quack.”
