Apparently, the Dallas Police finally spoke to some lawyers instead of consulting preachers and realized this is a legal non-event.

Of course there is such a thing as economic coercion, and there are certainly scenarios where a boss could prey on a particularly vulnerable person in a way that is morally or legally problematic. And those scenarios are more common and distressing in sex work.

If the judge gave him 2 days, and he served three months, the balance of the 2 months and 28 days may end up going to any probation violation (assuming he was also held on a probation detainer). So, it's probably not like he just served an extra 2 months and 28 days he wouldn't have otherwise served.

I'm not sure the point was that people should actually exchange these vows. If, 6 months after the wedding, you're the kind of person who's happy to live in the hard-work land of real marriage, that's great for you. The article is more aimed at the people getting married or currently married who are not thinking about…

No one forced Jackie Robinson out of the Dodgers' shower. He pointedly avoided it because he was afraid of the repercussions if he used it.

I'm glad you guys like Taco Bell, but I don't get this at all. I like Mexican food. I even like "Mexican" food. Taco Bell is just gross. I can melt cheese on tortilla chips or a taco shell at home, and it tastes much better.

That you believe in solar roadways says just how much you're in the fantasy Popular Mechanics world.

A 9-year-old boy in Massachusetts was killed doing the same thing in 2010. The recoil caused the Uzi to spin around and shoot himself in the head.

I did think after I posted that a real bait-and-switch, especially with items one is allergic to or otherwise cannot tolerate, would be another scenario for returning dishes.

Am I weird? I've been going to restaurants for 30-odd years, and I have never (to the best of my recollection) sent something back. I can't imagine doing that: I guess I'd send a serving of meat back if I found it was underdone in a way that looked like an oversight and health hazard. I just assume the way to deal…

If, in a situation where people are actually getting raped, your first concern (or second or third concern) is whether people will think you're a rapist and not whether people end up getting raped, you're doing humanness wrong. His feelings about how he's perceived aren't bigger than people actually being the victims…

A DC-area Panera doesn't have cameras from which a photo still could be gotten?

COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families, who are struggling with healthcare, housing, gas and groceries, allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

So, who's going to explain to her that most jail housing units are not co-ed?

I see you are unfamiliar with Iranian politics.

Whether we should find a better fix than throwing these kids into a volcano is different from people being legit offended by your conflation of "gay" and "pedophile," a very loaded and harmful comparison.

Not every trait that someone is born with or acquires involuntarily at an early age is an orientation, or comparable to a sexual orientation. Some kids are sociopaths and fundamentally lack the ability to empathize with others. A trait can be innate but disordered.
