Would like to point out that there was an 11- or 12-year-old girl in the front row watching this happen.

I think this is the quote that made me give up on her completely:

“When we bought, we didn’t plan on getting a place that looks like we’re living in the semi-arid Mediterranean-type biome in which we actually live an African savanna .”

She might have wanted them fertilized but potentially not by her mom. Maybe she wrote the order hoping that she’d be married at the time of any fatal accident?

Becoming incapacitated or passed-out drunk is a bad idea for everyone, not just women and not just because of rape. It’s also a good way to die by choking on your own vomit, or from alcohol poisoning. It’s a good way to end up taking a fatal fall out of a window. It’s a good way to drown. It’s a good way to crash a…

The majority of both male and female students were unclear on whether sexual activity could be consensual when both people were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

I think the right way to deal with that is to preach (generally) the benefits of adoption and try to allay people’s fears (generally) about the adoption process.

You’re free to dismiss any evidence you like (although the Bureau of Justice Statistics is an odd place to start). But at some point you do need to come up with evidence of your own, aside from your own personal feelings, if you want to convince people.

That seems to be what the Bureau of Justice Statistics report I linked to says. If you have other information, please provide it.

This seems like a remarkably tenuous link. The incidence of rape among women over age 12 has dropped dramatically during the exact same period as porn has gotten much more accessible. http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pd… (see fig. 1, showing the rate of rape at its highest in 1995, plummeting from there to a low around…

It seems like you could make a lot of things stand in for a sling for the brief period that you’d need to wash the sling. My mind flashes back to boy scout handbooks with pictures of guys using bandannas as slings, but really any reasonably sized square of cloth could be folded over to make a right triangle. Wrist…

Generally, having a fighter come up behind you tends to chill the enthusiasm for dogging the unarmed plane. It is theoretically possible to continue to harass the unarmed plane, but rarely the case.

Clicking through, it seems like this was one such case, although a guide was also personally present and advised them not to disrobe:

Often these photos come to light because people then post their photos on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/etc. tagged with the name of the place.

Maybe her punishment could be that she be forced to actually let all the white people touch her hair?

Who says we would? The point wouldn’t be to win a shooting war (a dumb idea with a nuclear power), the point would be an ability to scramble a couple fighters quickly to deter someone who is dogging an unarmed aircraft in a dangerous way.

I vaguely remembered the “dd” = “th” principle, but I would have missed the rest and ended up with “rih-buth” or something. Thanks for the expertise!

No, but I wonder if they’ll start putting fighters on alert out of Incirlik or another air base in Turkey, Romania, or Bulgaria while these flights are up in the air.
